Spring 2011
The George Hogg, winterton
Our Spring Pub of the Season is the George Hogg at Winterton, located
in the centre of town. Formerly known as the George Inn, the pub was
opened up again by first-time licensee Dave Hogg and partner
Jacqueline Whitfield in November 2010, after being closed and boarded
up for some considerable time.
Run as a freehouse, it comprises a large
lounge, also used for dining, and a separate public bar, built around a
central bar serving area. An upstairs restaurant is also available.
The pub has been simply, but tastefully redecorated, and offers three
handpulled real ales; Tom Wood Best Bitter (3.5% ABV) and York
Brewery Guzzler (3.6%) are stock beers, supplemented by a rotating
guest ale, which was Batemans Hooker (4.5%) at the time of our visit.
The George Hogg opens at 9 am every day except Sunday for
breakfast, which is available until noon, after which lunchtime dining
takes over until 3 pm, with Sunday Lunch available until 4 pm. Evening
meals are served from 6 - 9 pm except on Sunday and Monday. The
lunch and evening menus change according to the seasons.
The pub hosts a popular quiz night on a Tuesday, and has its own darts
and dominoes teams. It's also the meeting place for a number of
community groups such as Winterton Irons, Winterton Lions and various
local sports teams.
We wish Dave and Jacqueline continued success at the pub. The
presentation was on Tuesday 7 June at 8 pm.
