Beautiful and welcoming newly refurbished café and art gallery. Mainly run by friendly volunteers, who do an amazing job! Lovely coffees, teas and cakes, cool drinks and iced coffees. Incl gluten-free and vegan cakes. Recently also now offering lunch. We had the pea and mint soup, which was delicious. Child friendly with a kiddies play corner. Also baby changing facilities. Dog friendly. Really nice courtyard with outdoor seating. A great community place to visit!

Unbelievable transformation of this venue by the volunteer team! Not sure I've ever been to anywhere refurbished more creatively or tastefully. First visit: two very nice Cappuccino & Lemon Drizzle cakes... Perfect! Just revisited now that kitchen open. We had really nice homemade Minted Courgette and Pea & Ham soup, a Black Bean stew and a Caesar salad, with a couple of Morreti beers. Lovely place & super atmosphere.

Lovely local business. The cakes are delicious and a nice selection. They do offer a lunch menu but I only went for coffee and cake. Good price for what we got. Quick service and very well-organised. Recommend a visit here if around the area good for after a walk. The milkshakes are lovely and taste of the actually fruit not artificial. Will return

My parents live in the village so we frequent The George a lot. The food, coffee and cakes are exceptional and the decor of the whole cafe is incredibly tasteful.. so much so we choose The George as the venue for my Dads private birthday party. All family and friends had endless praise for the food and hospitality.
