Reviews


The restaurant received mixed reviews, with some customers praising the attentive service and delicious food, while others were disappointed with the quality and variety of dishes. The sea bass was a particular letdown for some, being described as skinny and swimming in oil. However, the ambiance and staff were generally well-received, with some patrons appreciating the unique aspect of the restaurant employing workers with learning difficulties. Overall, the consensus seems to be that the restaurant is a decent option for a casual meal in Rye, particularly for those looking to support a socially responsible establishment, on average, The George In Rye has been rated as 3.8.
