Legendary food and drink, forged in the fires of Derbyshire.
Relaxed, contemporary food and drink, familiar surroundings and an easy-going warmth you only find with local hospitality — we’re legends around these parts. Nestled in the Peak District’s Hope Valley, The George brings together everything our visitors love about simple, effortless comfort and the vibrant character of our stunning Derbyshire countryside.
A legendary local everybody can call their own.
Enjoy more at The George.
Acquired by Rob Hattersley of Longbow Venues in June 2021, dated décor and antiquated ambience have been replaced by friendly and inviting surroundings and food and drink you would want 7 days a week.
The 500-year-old building, frequented by Charlotte Bronte, has been returned to its former glory as a contemporary coaching inn showcasing the beautiful features of original oak beams and exposed stonework with modern styling.
The George has undergone extensive renovation and restoration not once, but twice! In October 2023, following flooding and storm damage, we had to close for 8 months. We used the closure to get laser-focused on our service, food offer and operations so when we reopened in June 2024, we looked, felt and operated at our highest, excellent standards.
With a contemporary restaurant, relaxing lounge area and buzzy bar, The George is firmly at the heart of the community in Hathersage. Whether you're popping in for a pint after work or celebrating special occasions with exceptional dining, we have it all. We welcome well-behaved dogs in the pub area, who will always be greeted with a treat from our canine-loving team.
The George’s doors are open daily from 8 am except Christmas Day. Our breakfast, lunch, dinner and wood-fired pizza menus are loved among locals and visitors to our historic restaurant, bar and hotel. Enjoy a comfortable and stylish stay in one of our 24 individually styled boutique bedrooms.
Cream of the crop local producers and suppliers have been selected for all food & drinks. We only provide the best (but at a reasonable price that we think is fair). Our menus are designed with our guests in mind, we pride ourselves on tasty, delicious food, done well. You will not find a gel, foam or edible flower at The George and this is the way we like it.
We believe few things are more important than community, togetherness and the warmth of local hospitality. With an established history in the heart of Hope Valley spanning generations, we like to think we’re a big part of that, even today. Whether we’re showcasing the very best produce of our beautiful county or working locally within the community, we’re incredibly proud to bring people together in the name of family, friendship and good times shared by all.
