About
The George Inn is a Wadworth pub at 4 West Street in Lacock, the National Trust village. It says the building dates to around 1361, and it keeps its exposed beams and a medieval fireplace. The village lock-up and the tithe barn are a short walk away.
The kitchen serves pub classics, seasonal dishes and daily specials from midday to 8pm every day, using suppliers from across the South West. It caters for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners and has a children's menu. The bar pours Wadworth ales and Folly Road craft beers.
Outside there is a beer garden in the paddock and a stone courtyard with a wishing well and old stone stocks, a play area for young children and the Snack Shack, selling hot drinks, pastries and cake. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub and in the paddock, with water bowls and treats. Wadworth, which runs the pub, lists free parking. It suits families and anyone who wants an early or mid-afternoon meal while visiting the abbey, since food runs right through the day.
