Potboys Bar at the George Hotel

Of course, the centre of any coaching inn was always the tap room and this is another fine old English tradition which we have the pleasure to maintain at The George. The name Potboys refers to the bell ringers who used to gather near the fire over looking the Abbey for some refreshments after ringing the Abbey bells. The roaring inglenook fire places, plenty of brass and excellent beer, our bar is the perfect place to unwind at the end of a tense and demanding day.

Our Chef is proud to offer a seasonal menu which reflects the work of the local producers he uses. The cookery is simple and classic, with defined flavour and presentation. Those diners wishing a more formal meal with a more contempary approach to menu should ask to view the menu available within Carriages Restaurant. We wish you an enjoyable dining experience.
