Arrived early for High Tea at 50 Bistro (The George Hotel), to an on site customer car park. Lovely, clean & tidy grounds. Was greeted with a warm, friendly & welcoming reception. Seated early & offered the option of tea or coffee (two coffee selections per person allowable, throughout the duration of the high tea). Served an apple & cinnamon scone with jam & cream - delicious start to the High Tea! We decided on tasting by sweet, then savoury, then critiquing each dish as we went along. Our hero dish was the Crumbed Prawn with saffron aioli. Our least favourite dish was the mushroom vol au vent - which was a little dry. We saved the mulled plum entremet until last - as this was one of the most interesting looking dishes on the menu. We agreed that it tasted like a Turkish delight - with a soft centred texture (in place of a firm texture). The other interesting dish for us was the frangipane pear tart - presented beautifully & inviting to eat - yum! 😋 The caramel brownie was one of my daughter's favourite dishes, with small chunks of chocolate hidden throughout. The carrot loaf was absolutely devine & looked stunning on the plate. The mochaccino coffee was nicer than the cappuccino coffee. The main waitress serving us was friendly & took the time to engage in conversation with us - good sense of humour too! The dining area was clean, tidy & nicely presented. The addition of a conservatory dining area provides extra dining space with natural light streaming in. There are a few changes that we would recommend to help improve the high tea menu & experience 1) Replace the mushroom vol au vent 2) have a high tea menu present on the table (avoids having to remember the waitresses introduction of the dishes) & 3) space your guests out - so they don't feel like there personal space is being invaded. Where possible, leave an empty table between guests. Overall, we really enjoyed our high tea experience here. We shared thoughts of our experience with the friendly & engaging male & female staff members at reception. They rounded off this great experience for us, by bidding us farewell with 'see you next time.' Thank you for your hospitality today 50 Bistro (The George Hotel)!

Food was great and the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Atmosphere was cool with some really great light features on the wall but it wasn't cheap. Reccomend if you're looking for a very nice evening out and not on a budget.
