The George & Vulture

I've had several lunchs in this “English eating house” and never been disapointed. You have to except that yes it is busy, yes the staff can be brusque – but in a familiar friendly manner, yes you may have to share a table, and yes its 90% city male. But it is a tremendous experience.

The food – whilst traditional English meat centric ( " sausage with your steak sir?) is well sourced, well prepared and in some instances ( The Barnsley Chop!) – second to none.

Wine list is very short – but always palatable and beer/cider is Sam Smiths.

A colleague recently said there must be loads of little eating houses like this scattered around the city…so far I think this is one a kind!

Very disappointing. A 45 minute wait for very mediocre food, overcharged at the end and VERY RUDE staff when we tried to clarify the bill. We won't be going back or recommending it to any of our City colleagues.
