Reviews of Lovejoys at The George, Kelvedon
L. M.A lovely evening celebrating the start of my new job. Superb service and super friendly staff. Worth noting they did a brilliant job of catering for all of our weird food intolerances and allergies! (lactose intolerance, tomato intolerance and someone who can’t have wheat!
L. F.Always a treat to eat at The George at Kelvedon. The venue and gardens are lovely and truly enhance the experience. The staff are very welcoming and efficient. The food is excellent, and have never been disappointed. My friend and I recently enjoyed the best afternoon tea we've ever tasted, very well proportioned between sweet and savoury, absolutely delicious. It was beautifully presented as with all their food. Very much looking forward to my next visit.
M. B.Following a recent visit at the request of Katie I have no option to amended the previous review (below) as the food was excellent.
Along with a new chef the menu has been completely overhauled to offer options you would expect to find.
On a personal note Katie is a real asset to the George an example to many other managers. Very impressed, highly recommend.
After reading the reviews I booked a table and looked forward to a great meal with my misses on Saturday evening…….However, despite the lovely location, setting and decor the restaurant was less than a quarter full (possibly the 1st red flag). The menu was limited but not always a bad thing, but the choices were very basic. I had the George burger which was really over cooked and hard. My partner had the ham, eggs and chips of which the eggs were a tad greasy but the ham had a fair bit of sinew. I did mention how over cooked my burger was to the waitress as I obviously couldn’t eat it all. She smiled politely and walked off, no apologies though. We paid and left just as politely.
Shame as with such basic food there’s no excuses.
One we will avoid and not be recommending. There’s far better places to eat.
F. H.We recently held my Mum’s wake at The George at Kelvedon. The lead up to her funeral was such a stressful time but Katie at The George was so kind and helpful in helping us make arrangements. On the day itself the wake was perfect, the room lovely, clean and bright and the food was amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff were all lovely. I would definitely recommend this pub and hope to be back again under happier circumstances.
S. B.After booking a table for my 40th birthday. Me and my partner went for date night. We were surprised by the quietness of the restaurant because all I can say is the food was beautiful, the interior gorgeous and the team could not have been more accommodating. Even coming and singing happy birthday to me, with a free cheesecake. Can't get better than that.
Would highly recommend for dinner, the food was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We found a hidden gem and will be back x
L. W.Lovely Christmas Day lunch. Staff very friendly and service was brilliant. Nice atmosphere and excellent food.
P. L.Fantastic Saturday lunch.Food was outstanding thanks to the chef well presented and tasted as good as it looked.Service and Waitress faultless a must place to visit.
D. L.Had a wonderful meal here. The staff are very friendly and willing to accommodate to make sure you have enjoyed your stay. I had the Roast Chicken which tasted amazing, with pomme anna, honey glazed carrots, brussels and red cabbage. I will definitely go again as they rotate their menu, so I can try something new next time.
M. M.Fabulous food and great service. It was a little quiet when we visited, so lacked a little atmosphere. But we will return again
T. D.Absolutely fantastic evening, a beautiful, relaxed atmosphere. The staff were wonderful and the food was absolutely delicious.
R. H.Lovely Sunday afternoon spot to spend time with the family. Delicious food and a good drinks selection.
P. T.My wife and I had visitors from Worcester and wanted to take them somewhere quiet for a leisurely evening meal so we chose the George. So glad that we did, the setting and atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable and yet nicely formal, not a normal gastropub type property but at the same time, not pretentious. We were greeted by pleasant, happy staff and settled at our table. The seating was comfortable with plenty of space between the tables and tables of a decent size. The menu had a nice selection of dishes to meet most palates and diets and very reasonably priced. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food and were pleasantly surprised at the final bill. Service was excellent, food fabulous, location brilliant! We have already recommended the place to family and look forward to returning soon.
C. M.The best Sunday lunch food great, service amazing , would defiantly recommend.
p. H.Great food excellent service, friendly pub atmosphere.
K. S.Fabulous new menu, food was 10/10, very welcoming, will definitely return! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
J. S.Had a very enjoyable evening meal there last week. They've managed to get the social distancing right, with several tables outside under a sheltered gazebo with clear plastic sides. This meant you could enjoy the sunshine, but without being exposed to the wind.
Food was good, service was excellent, had a really nice time. Difficult times for pubs and restaurants but I'm happy to say that they've got things right. Nice job!
d. m.A huge thank you to all the lovely staff who made my son’s 21st celebration at The George a special birthday to remember.
The manager was so helpful with any queries I had and made me feel like nothing was too much trouble.
All our food was delicious, we all had something different and loved everything.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff that looked after us during our meal, they made sure we had a great afternoon to remember😊👏🏻
D. M.Absolutely brilliant place lovely food and amazing staff really enjoyed it
J. R.What a beautiful restaurant. Our first meal out since restrictions lifted and I am SO glad we came here. Before our meal we enjoyed a drink outside, taking in the gorgeous natural surroundings. Inside, the restaurant was spotless. Beautifully laid out with plenty of space in between tables. The waiting staff are amazing; incredibly attentive. The food was simply outstanding! Great selection of mains and some really lovely sides too. My husband had the lamb, I had the stone bass, both were cooked to perfection. Desserts didn't disappoint either! Very much looking forward to visiting again.
G. B.Amazing restaurant, gorgeous food, full of flavour and a great amount of food too. Lovely fast service and very friendly waiters/waitresses. Also very nice interior, great decor.
O. O.Had a food tasting for our wedding, the staff, owner and chef are all very friendly and the food was excellent. We will be returning with our families for a normal meal
T. W.The George was a great experience. Very clean tidy staff very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. Food was great I had the Steak and was cooked perfectly. One of the things I really loved was they where serving cocktails that where made beautifully. I will be going back definitely worth a try. Thank you to The George for a great dinner experience definitely deserve 5 Stars.
J. H.Had an absolutely lovely lunch at this great restaurant. Recently refurbished and under new management, the restaurant is a real find. Everything felt really relaxed with friendly, personal and attentive service. The food was exceptional and delicious. Was so hard to choose from the menu. Congratulations to Joey and the team. I can't wait for my next visit, hopefully for dinner next time where I can sample the rest of the menu.
L. H.Great people and beer, proper relaxed over a pint and a good unwind after a long day.
A. P.We went here for the first time this evening, and ordered the fillet steak which was superb, maybe the best we've ever had. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and in a lovely rural setting. It has an attractive garden area, and the venue would be ideal for any small private function such as a wedding party. We loved it and are already planning another visit.....probably for their Sunday roast.
D. H.We visited The George today for Sunday Lunch. Inspired mainly by the new management. Joey and his team provided the catering for our daughter's wedding 3 years ago. From working with Joey then we were impressed by his outstanding work ethic, his professionalism and his desire to give his clients exactly what they require. When we found out he had taken over The George we had to visit. We weren't disappointed. We were impressed immediately on arrival by the attention to Covid regulations. The first time we have had our temperature checked at a restaurant. All the exceptional staff were wearing masks. The tables are well distanced.The restaurant is extremely clean and decorated to a high standard in a contemporary style.
We both ordered the sunday roast, a beef & a chicken. Both cooked to perfection, hot, well presented and served in good time and full of flavour which denotes good quality produce. The deserts obviously delicious as our 1st choices were sold out but we were offered a great alternative.
The wine list contains some very favourable choices.
Well done Joey & team. Very impressive. We will return.
N. A.Lovely location, friendly atmosphere and the food Was amazing. Cooked perfectly and with so much flavour. Had so much choice I (who is a fussy eater) couldn't decide what to have!
D. H.We held our intimate wedding reception here on 24th September 2020 and had the most fabulous time. The food, service, staff and atmosphere were exemplary – thank you for making our day even more special! We would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going back ourselves again very soon. Thank you Varinder and all the team.
J. B.Fantastic Sunday lunch, tender beef, beautifully cooked, crispy and fluffy roast potatoes, all served in a timely fashion with friendly and polite service
D. J.Excellent food and very welcoming and friendly staff. Well worth visiting. Cost around £25 per person which we thought was good value considering the quality on offer. Credit card receipts cannot be printed but are emailed or sent by text. No obvious free WiFi. Nice simple decor, very clean and very nice garden seating area.
T. m. L.Friends of mine had a wedding reception there recently. Food was lovely, welcoming was warm, service was top notch!
J. I.Excellent food and very good service too. Had lunch in the garden which was nicely sheltered and has a great outlook. Definitely a venue to try

Absolutely first class from the decor, ambience and the attention to detail and the food....well what can I say other than who ever the chef is, Michelin go have a look please!!!
