The George - Pub in Staffordshire
The George,
Alstonefield, DE6 2FX, Staffordshire
England,
United Kingdom
A green sward ripples in this remote limestone village, perched on a plateau between the gorges of the rivers Dove and Manifold. Set in this verdant Eden, the handsome George is an ultra-reliable local, lovingly owned and managed by Siobhan and Graham. As you walk into neat rooms of old beams, gleaming quarry tiles, a crackling log fire, you know you're in safe hands. It's an unhurried place, where everyone knows everyone else (or soon will), ramblers cram the benches out front and time passes slowly. The 18th-century coaching house is perfect for private parties. The welcome is warm, the beer's on song and the food is fab. Young chefs are creative with local, seasonal produce so try partridge breast, roast belly of Gloucester Old Spot pork, or the George proper pie. Vegetarian dishes are super too, maybe wild mushroom vegetable suet pudding. Delicious.
