Variations in Experience
While the majority of reviewers have had a fantastic experience at the George Payne, there is one reviewer who was disappointed with their Sunday roast. The Yorkshire puddings were overcooked and burnt, the lamb was chewy and unpalatable, and the veg was not cooked properly. This reviewer would not recommend the roast to others.
