We love the rain, we love great food, and we love Holly Baker.

On Saturday 26th September our dear friend Holly Baker will be cooking for you all at our inaugural supper club collab “Flavours of The Local”.. an evening celebrating seasonal cooking and the frankly excellent produce we have right here on our doorstep.

Originally from Ireland and currently cheffing locally in Fosbury, Holly’s love of feeding people eventually led her from restaurant kitchens to the renowned Ballymaloe Cookery School, where she immersed herself in seasonal cooking, foraging and making the most of what’s growing around you.

Now living in the English countryside, Flavours of The Local is her love letter to the area, its seasons, hedgerows and brilliant local producers.

And so, we shall feast.

Berkshire chalk stream trout cured with local beetroot and Hawkridge Gin, wild mushroom pâté with Horton Bakehouse sourdough, slow-cooked Hampshire venison with blackberry jus, great dishes of gratin and greens for the table, and warm apple crumble to finish.

If summer is going to abandon us, we may as well eat extremely well about it.

• Drinks from 7pm
• Supper served from 7:30pm

Gather round, fair village people, while we tell thee the history of the b**r festival… 🍺

Before b**r festivals were b**r festivals, England had parish ales! These were great village gatherings where ale was brewed and sold to raise money for the church, help the poor and give everyone a very good excuse to tools up.

There was food. There was music. There was dancing. There was merriment. There was probably at least one village idiot who had far too much ale and disgraced himself in front of the entire parish.

Some things never change.

At The George, we like an atmosphere where people aren’t worried about being recorded while they’re dancing. A return to the good old days, where nobody cares what you look like as long as you’re having a good time.

So come as you are. Put your phone away. Have a pint. Make merry.

🎬 DEREK vs DEREK - Friday 21st August

Two Devon farmers. One shared name. Two VERY different ideas about what the countryside should look like.

One has spent his life farming dairy cows. The other is a self-described maverick rewilder, filling the landscape with ponds, beavers and wild boar.

They do not agree.

Join us at The George for a screening of Derek vs Derek - a warm, eccentric and very funny documentary about farming, rewilding, rural life and what happens when your neighbour goes completely wild.

Hear ye, hear ye, the barrels are coming,
The fiddlers are fiddling, the drummers are drumming.
Twelve ales shall flow from near and afar,
And five mighty c***rs await at the bar.

There’ll be pizzas aplenty and BBQ fare,
And Kicking Goat’s Land Rover shall also be there.
There’ll be singing and dancing and questionable cheer,
For The George’s great festival of c***r and b**r.

So summon thy friends and abandon thy chores,
Bring children, bring grandparents, bring dogs out in scores.
For two glorious days we shall eat, drink and play…

Who needs the Côte d’Azur when you’ve got Vernham Dean 😉

Fresh moules & bacon, South African rosé and sunshine, pretty damn lovely.

Don’t panic… there’ll be no Gen Z round on Saturday.

We only use those to torment Reece 🥰

Instead, you can look forward to our usual mix of unique quiz rounds, the legendary music round, plenty of sport and general knowledge, plus a brand new local history round that might just separate the locals from the visitors…

Saturday • 7pm
Only 4 tables left!

See you there! 🍻
