Whether you’re dining out on a whim, catching up with friends over something special, or planning a memorable evening for two, our new summer menu has arrived, and it’s packed with bold flavours, premium produce, and a few familiar favourites making a comeback.

Launching on Wednesday, May 14th, secure your table now and get priority booking here.

We love local

Crafted by Raymond Blanc-trained Executive Chef, Adrian Gagea, and our very own Head Chef, James Heywood, this menu brings together the best of local sourcing and global inspiration.

From sustainably caught seafood from our fishmonger, RG Morris based in Buxton and tender Derbyshire lamb from Ginger Butchers in Bakewell to vibrant Peak District vegetables picked and supplied by Winter Foods in Chesterfield, we are passionate about Peak District produce.

Dining al fresco

As the warmer months are welcomed, new fresh seasonal flavours are best enjoyed in the sunshine. We have comfortable booth and table seating in our courtyard.

While we don’t take outdoor bookings as such, please do let us know when you book online that you’d like to dine outside and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Adrian recommends

Group Executive Chef of Longbow Venues, Adrian Gagea, said, “It’s hard to choose from so many great summer dishes, full of flavours and fresh – perfect for hot summer days in the Peak District.

Internationally inspired flavours

Our team at The George are always inspired by global flavours and for this new menu at The George, there are many interesting flavoursome dishes that take inspiration from other countries.

We’re expecting the pan-fried duck breast to be a hit, served with sweet potato and lime purée, grilled orange segments, pak choi, and a red wine duck sauce.

Mediterranean-inspired mussels and calamari are served in a rich marinara sauce with warm focaccia and skinny fries, and the Asian influence is evident in the sweet & sour pork ribs, which come with the more American sides of coleslaw, skinny fries and grilled corn on the cob.

Pub classics

Let’s not forget what we are famous for at The George! Our pub classics are always a hit, like our burgers handmade using only the finest ingredients, served in a pretzel bun with tomato jam, triple-cooked chips, garlic mayonnaise with carrot, cabbage and red onion slaw. Choose from Derbyshire venison, cheese and chorizo burger with homemade apple and quince chutney, or sink your teeth into The Longbow signature burger, with bbq beef brisket and double cheese. Handmade using only the best cuts of locally sourced beef from New Close Farm, Over Haddon.

Our pizzas are prepared and cooked on site in our wood-fired pizza oven. For this new menu, sample the new pizzas; mortadella salami, pistachio and burrata, quattro formagio, seafood arrabiata or the summer garden pizza. All our pizzas can be made gluten-free and they are available to take away too.

Delicious Desserts

Don’t swerve desserts at The George, not when they’re handmade and so good!

Longbow Venues Group Executive Chef, Adrian Gagea said, “The Vegan blueberry cheesecake, with strawberry compote and mango sorbet is a must-try. It’s plant-based, gluten-free and packed with natural flavours. The bright purple colour is always good fun too!”

Another dessert to try is the Mojito & Gin Tart because this one is our charity dessert. We will donate £1 towards the Ruth Strauss Foundation. 

Something for everyone

We take accessible dining very seriously at The George and as we make everything in-house and from scratch, 90% of our menu can be adapted to be gluten-free without losing taste and texture.

Vegan and vegetarian dishes are also thoughtfully created with those following a plant-based diet in mind. From this new seasonal menu, enjoy the spiced oyster-mushrooms with butterbean pureé, the plant-based goddess salad or the summer garden pizza.

90% Of Our Menu Can Be Adapted to Be Gluten-Free

We know that when you need to eat in line with your dietary needs for clinical or faith reasons, it is important to find good quality restaurants that understand this need.

Rob Hattersley, managing director of Longbow Venues is coeliac himself. As such, our chefs have become gluten-free gurus when it comes to culinary creations. After all, they want to impress the boss! 

They work really hard to create dishes that can be adapted to be gluten-free without losing that all-important taste and texture while sourcing ingredients locally. 

Lactose-Free and Plant-Based

Our menu adaptations are not limited to gluten-free dishes. We are able to adapt many dishes to be lactose-free/dairy free. We’re also proud of our vegan and vegetarian offerings, which showcase our chefs’ creativity and commitment to flavour. These dishes are so well-received that even non-vegans are blown away by their taste and texture.

 Allergen Awareness

We take food safety seriously, maintaining separate storage and preparation areas to accommodate dietary needs. 

To ensure we meet the diverse needs of our diners, our staff undergo regular allergen awareness training. This not only enhances their knowledge of food safety but also allows them to confidently guide customers in making informed choices that align with their health and food values.

We hope you enjoy the diverse and inclusive menus that we offer here at The George.

Should you wish to discuss your dietary needs before dining with us, feel free to get in touch.

If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, shouldn’t you do it in style?

At The George Hathersage, we have crafted the most mouth-watering breakfast menu that will start any day on the right foot.

We are passionate about using local Peak District suppliers for the freshest and tastiest ingredients that go into our dishes. From the full English complete with Ginger Butchers sausage, bacon and black pudding to the British-grown strawberries from New Farm atop our featherlight pancakes.

A Breakfast Menu for All
