After a brief visit to the Bere Cider Company, we dropped into this very pleasant village hostelry in an equally pleasant village. I'm fairly sure there were 2 rooms. But everybody appeared to be in the main bar area, which has a few nooks and crannies and a variety of seating. 3 ales were on - Thwaites Wainwright, Three Daggers Daggers Ale & St Austell Tribute. Two Farmer Jims ciders were also being served - Medium & Farmyard Fruits. Well worth a visit.

A nice looking pub and a friendly welcome . a good selcetion of ales and ciders, and a great asset for the village, for which it is probably the social hub.
Worth a visit if you're passing but check beforehand if you plan to dine

Popped in on a quiet Friday evening but enjoyed the friendly welcome and very good real ale.

I'm surprised to find that this place hasn't been rated more enthusiastically by this site's users. It is something of a classic country pub which clearly plays a key role as a community focus, as thankfully not all of Middlezoy's residents are commuters with no interest in their local village, and is at home to the drinker and eater, although primarily the former I would say.
The pub is set in a charming quiet village street, and is immediately welcoming upon entry. The service was efficient and friendly, and there appears to be no inclination on the part of regulars to regards strangers with suspicion.
Well-kept cask beers can always be found - naturally the main draw for TWG - which included a truly excellent Otter Bright on my last visit on Sunday. Also sampled was a cask cider - Ashton Press Still - which was equally delightful and fresh as a daisy. An excellent way to begin a country pub crawl, in fact.
I rather like the George at Middlezoy, and I fully intend to get here more often in future.

Pop in here whenever I'm down in the region - nice old pub where you can have a quiet pint in your own company, or strike up a conversation with the regulars if you fancy - it's your choice! This is a pub where they thankfully realise that loud music does not equate to atmosphere. Busy when there's a skittles match on and does not serve food on Mondays. Also not an 'open all day' pub but I have never known it to be closed when I have arrived in the evening, when the roaring open fire is most welcome!

Looked ok from the outside - inside did not 'feel' very friendly. Did not enjoy what was an uninspiring ploughmans. Sorry but could not recommend this pub - unless you were driving that way anyway and felt very very thirsty! Shame as its setting makes it ideal to be a traditional/friendly/village pub.

Seldom open.

3 well kept local ales, a local cider, amiable regulars ready to chat with a stranger (no blaring music here - just conversation), attentive & knowledgable landlord, warm fire on a cold rainy day, dog friendly, this place is ticking all the check boxes.

sorry..there's no way this is a 10 pub.
its more typical of most Somerset rural ale-houses with some food...average food stuff usually (if you can stand the all-pervading chip oil smell) and not stunning ales...
only a 6 tops....
