We take pride in sourcing our produce locally where possible and are proud of the sensational food we offer. Our popular pub can cater for up to 150 guests which also makes it an perfect venue for private hire. The George is or should we say was 1 of the oldest pubs in the country.

Built around 1450 this ancient thatched inn probably began life as a courthouse and hostel for the monks of Tavistock Abbey who owned the village and the neighboring moorland. After Henry VIII dissolved the monasteries the entire village as well as its inns and taverns was sold to the Arscott family for fourteen 1s 6d!Throughout the 1600s The George was 1 of 7 Hatherleigh inns that catered for wealthy wool merchants visiting the towns sheep market.

In the 1700s the inn became an important stop for the stagecoaches that thundered along the Bideford road and for the highwaymen that preyed on these hapless travellers. In the 19th Century the town fell on hard times as cotton replaced wool in Industrial Revolutions textile mills and in 1840 much of the medieval town centre was destroyed in a excellent fire.

Incredibly The George survived the Victorian conflagration but on December 23rd 2008 this Grade II listed building was burned to the ground in a deliberate act of arson. Happily no 1 was hurt and the 2008 blaze is not the end of story.
