The George - Pub in Staffordshire
The George,
Alstonefield, DE6 2FX, Staffordshire
England,
United Kingdom
The welcome is warm, the wine list is inventive and the food is fabulous. Young chefs are creative with local, seasonal produce so try fillet of Derbyshire beef with shallot tarte tatin or book in for a tasting menu evening. Vegetarian dishes are super too, maybe chargrilled raddichio with puy lentils and butternut squash. 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). The 18th-century coaching house is perfect for private parties. To walk it off, wander through the limestone village, perched on a plateau between the gorges of the rivers Dove and Manifold.
