The George Inn is a 17th century coaching inn freehouse in the scenic village of Croscombe. The pub is directly on the A371, just two miles from the market town of Shepton Mallet, and two miles from England's smallest city, Wells. There are many delightful walks from the pub, and dogs are welcome too.

Purchased by Peter and Veryan Graham in July 2000, the pub has enjoyed numerous changes - both small and large. In the main bar a large inglenook fireplace with real log fires warms the winter nights, and soft lighting, the family's grandfather clock, and comfy chairs add to the ambience of the area. The areas on both sides of the bar were enlarged to include the former tack room, stables, and old beer cellar.

• In the Old Tack Room, we've provided a carpeted dining, function and family room.
• In the Old Stables, new toilets for men, ladies and the disabled have been built, with baby changing facilities.
• Behind the fireplace which we uncovered three months after we moved to the George in July, 2000, a new cold cellar ensures all beers are maintained in prime condition. This is especially important for our four real ales, including two beers brewed uniquely for us --King George and Gorgeous George.
• The Old Beer Cellar provides the setting for a comfortable 30 seat restaurant.
• The Pub Garden has been renovated and made into a terrace with an all weather heated and covered patio, including a children's area and boules piste.
• The Old Coach House has been converted into a disabled-accessible self-contained two bedroom flat which we now occupy.
• The Loft above one of the gables has been renovated into an en-suite twin-bedded room.
  
  
  
  For diners, we insist on a total commitment to quality food prepared from the best local fresh ingredients cooked to order. All our food is home-made, including the puddings and luscious ice creams. The menu has expanded since July 2001 when we first began serving food at the pub. Now organic, vegetarian, game and fresh fish specials complement the regular menu. Special needs are catered for, and individually tailored menus can always be worked out for functions or special events.
  

Trained in cordon-bleu cookery, Veryan began her cookery career at the British Embassay in Norway. After doing director's lunches in the City, she came to Somerset in 1980 to be the chef at the No.3 restaurant in Glastonbury. No. 3 became a highly acclaimed restaurant, rated one of the top 20 in the country.
In 1983 Veryan married Peter, a Canadian. After starting a family they moved to Canada in 1984. Peter completed his Master's degree in International Development, and in 1988 they volunteered as Christian aid workers in Bangladesh. In 1991 seven years of service in Tanzania began, but they settled back in England in 1998 so their four children could have a stable home and country in which to grow up.

Veryan's cookery talents remained dormant until July 2000 when the opportunity to buy the George Inn at Croscombe became a reality. There's been no looking back since! A friendly welcome awaits everyone.
