I have always found the staff to be pleasant, courteous and attentive .
Thirdly, the selection of beers, although dominated by the Wentworth Brewery of Wentworth, is often complemented by a microbrew from further afield and are invariably excellently kept.
The cheap remark about it only being popular because it's in a tourist hot-spot is sooo wide of the mark and churlish.
God forbid that this little gem of a country pub in the Rotherham borough should ever close its doors as there are few enough quality real ale pubs in the area as it is. I'll give it 9!!
it is set back from the main road, with its own small car park. a few stone steps lead up to a small slabbed patio providing a handful tables with outdoor seating. I didn't see the beer garden but its said to be nice.

inside theres a small seating area near the bar as you enter, along with two other rooms either side, mainly for dining. The place has a nice original old fashioned feel to it, and smells appetizingly of food. I found there was also some stairs leading to an extra dining room upstairs.
**
the george is a "free house" and I noticed there are 6 cask ales on, a selection of both local and national. I called sunday lunch time and whilst trade was brisk, the staff were still friendly and keen to serve.
***
verdict:
I was very pleased all round with my visit, and I like this kind of pub.
I would be happy to call again here off-peak to try the meals.
an 8 from me.

The pub is quite small and retains a degree of separation between its front bar room, rear games room and side lounge, although the three now all interconnect. Comfortable furnishings throughout and the games room features a pool table. Also Sky sports shown, accounting for a busy period on my visit.
As noted, the range of real ales is solid if not spectacular, with Bradfield beers a welcome addition to the big names-Farmer's Blonde in fine form on my visit.
The pub also had a free curry buffet which was also most welcome.
Not a must visit in Sheffield but a sound pub and worth a visit if on a crawl in the area-Hallamshire House and Closed Shop are nearby.
