Well we tried Georgie Porgie's today. All-day breakfast, any item 50c, minimum of 3 items, so we had 6 each and a portion of chips to share. Coffee was included but we also had a cold drink each to start, and the whole lot came to a tenner. Faultless service, top quality food. We'll be back.

We have today had lunch at Georgie Porgie's and it was excellent. Large portions nicely presented and very reasonable in our opinion. 2 Mains, 2 puddings and 2 drinks = 21 Euros. They have a very good menu and do a 3 course evening meal for 16.95 euros with lots of choices, plus a free glass of wine. Would thoroughly recommend.

I believe it was known as Brian's Plaice, or The Chlock Inn, in previous lives (in case you can navigate by either of those). We have friends coming next month and are planning to take them...

Been today for Sunday Lunch, as did others. Our reviews are in the Sunday Lunch thread.

by **Pattaya Otter** » 27 Aug 2011 07:21

Went there for lunch yesterday. Chose the daily special - battered cod and chips. Very good and good value, with large Keo just over 9 Euros.

Also good friendly service and looked to be busy so hope this time it works for this venue.

by **Jim** » 22 Sep 2011 06:13

One thing we did not mention to the lovely owners last night, please make sure those fresh chips are cooked through, we all had undercooked chips unfortunately, really great value as was those drinks prices, €2.20 for a large beer was extraordinary good value, we wish the restaurant all the best..

Lamb shanks.

mmmmmmm - chips floating in gravy

by **trollydolly** » 22 Sep 2011 20:43

looks awful--need to present food better than that --its put me off. Marj

Please remember you are talking of peoples livelihood, always difficult in this situation, I am sure it will improve overtime.

by **Mr Shifter** » 23 Sep 2011 06:08

morning jim ,
i dont think cauli & carrots go with chips !!!

Why they are all veg are they not? Jx

by **Ageing Rocker** » 23 Sep 2011 12:28

Went by there today at 10.45 and again at 12.00 - both times full of people. Lots do seem to like it - perhaps they were all grockles (sorry - tourists :oops:

) having their breakfasts. :wink:

by **LADYLALA** » 27 Oct 2011 15:54

Thank you to those of you who've left your kind reviews here, those who seem to have nothing but bad words to say when you've not even tried it, maybe should keep their opinions to themselves. Its no wonder so many eating establishments come and go so quickly here in Cyprus when people dont give them a chance. Georgie Porgies are offering simple home cooked homely foods using quality ingredients at extreamly low prices and so far so good a growing regular customer base of I might add around 90% ex pats who eat here 2, 3 times a week some of them and Sunday lunches are very very popular.
Thank you

Most of us including myself can only wish you the very best of luck and you go from strength to strength, but please remember this section is not just for glowing reports, remembering also it gives you a chance to put any problems to rights, if members post negatively in a manner fitting then this will inevitably be to your advantage to give you a chance to put things right! if indeed there are any problems.

You will never please everyone, but I agree those who posted some comments above have not used your restaurant, this is unfair to make comments on that basis.

good luck with Georgie Porgies..

by **tracey13** » 30 Oct 2011 21:52

Just like to add that we had a very nice cooked breakfast this morning at Georgie Porgie's. Everything was freshly cooked for us and it was really great to be served a large cup of coffee/tea complimentary with the breakfast. Well done, I wish them all the best.

If you want your food served cold, try the General Hospital, any ward will do. :shock:

by **Jim** » 03 Nov 2011 13:57

Believe me the Iasis private hospital was no better than the general, had a two week stint in there, talk about gruff grub! :cry:

the wife was bringing in food parcels. But the medical service was second to none, and I needed to lose a stone or three. :lol:

That's why they served you up food you wouldn't eat! :lol:

by **Wee Stumpy** » 03 Nov 2011 15:11

I have to say that I have seen not had to try the food in the General thank goodness but went to visit a friend last year in the Blue Cross and the food looked very european and very tempting!

by **Daz n Mandie** » 20 Nov 2011 14:06

We have eaten there twice now in as many weeks, both times the service, food and prices were excellent.

Yesterday, our lad decided he was a little peckish and opted for the Yorkshire pub filled with bangers and mash. Well, you could have worn the yorkshire pud to Ascot as a hat it was that big..... needless to say it beat him (but only just). Three of us had the fish and chips which was lovely and the cottage pie that FIL had was a good size and very tasty.... Five hungry bods left there very satisfied

by **trollydolly** » 20 Nov 2011 21:43

Well looks like GPs have a good varied menu and all the reports on their food sound good. I must say every time I pass by it looks busy thats a good sign-so yes maybe I will pay a visit. Marj

by **trollydolly** » 30 Nov 2011 22:26

So glad we paid a visit --food was really nice -home made tomato soup was delicious-lamb shank yumeee- treacle sponge wow. Marj

Well Done.

Good on you for being honest after making a negative post I say. :-bd

by **Papoose** » 01 Dec 2011 12:13

Went there for the first time with a couple of friends, en-route to the airport, for an all day breakfast. It was a Sunday but about 10.30 am,before they stop serving breakfasts on a Sunday to cater for the lunch diners.
I must say I was pleasently surprised at the freshly cooked food. I included the black pudding(as a Norhern lad) in mine, my wife Bristol born wouldn't touch it but enjoyed her meal minus black pudding. Excellent value and friendly service. We went for a lunch later in the week and opted for the value for money breakfast again at 4.95 each. Will definitly re-visit and this time try one of the pies!

No AR not a negative post just my opinion and we are all entitled to that. Marj

Looks a bit like a negative post to me!

I was being nice to you, no point in getting shirty :shock:

by **trollydolly** » 01 Dec 2011 23:48

Or thats nice AR -just shows how we can interpret our posts sometimes. Marj

by **Pattaya Otter** » 19 Dec 2011 08:46

Went there for Sunday lunch yesterday -chose the beef. Had the best Yorkshire pud I've tasted on the island.Beef was succulent and tasty. Started with mushroom soup - again very tasty and just had room to finish off with home made lemon merangue pie. Their cappucino was also well above average.

Overall an excellent meal at 16 Euros including a glass of wine and the coffee.

by **amanda&sam** » 24 Mar 2012 14:19

We have been several times and enjoy it each time, its one of our favourite places to eat, we visited last night and noticed the hard working owners have made a few new additions - we enjoyed a new Early Bird menu (we just made on time it its on 4-6.30pm) I had Fish and chips and Sam had Homemade Pie which was chicken and mushroom his was 5.95 mine 6.95 but the drinks are INCLUDED for that price I had a wine and he had a beer (large carlsberg bottle). The food as always was excellent , and the owners are so friendly - well done you guys Oh nearly forgot they are offering fish and chips to take away now too for 6.50 , if you call first theyll have them ready so you wont need to wait.

by **Pickles** » 24 Mar 2012 17:41

Thanks J&K it's been noted, as has another review for elsewhere that was someone's 1st post too!

by **amanda&sam** » 25 Mar 2012 08:22

Im sorry if you beleive I have done something wrong here, Yes its my first post as Ive never been on this site before, I was in the restaurant the other night and commenting on how good I believe their food is , and review sites in general came into the converstaion and this site was mentioned, I suggested I would leave a review, so I registered and left a review for them, Im sorry but I thought thats what this page was for , maybe Im wrong !

by **Pickles** » 25 Mar 2012 10:37

You are right it's what the site is here for but such glowing comments about an establishment from a member's first post can appear suspicious.

In some cases we have had competitors join purely to rave about their own businesses and/or discredit their rivals!

by **amber** » 14 May 2012 14:55

Not really surprised to read that this restaurant is for sale.

We went there for Christmas Day Lunch _ food was good, when it eventually arrived. two ladies who had ordered the vegetarian option on another table had their meals served first. About 30 minutes later the remaining members of their party had their meals. We waited 1hr 20 mins between the starter and main course.

Went along there the other day as I fancied a gammon steak with pineapple. Parked outside the restaurant at lunch time a few people there so we went inside and looked at the menu - decided to return that evening for a meal.

Returned at 7pm. CLOSED. On the entrance door was a sign saying that they were closed in the evenings due to illness!

We called in at another UK establishment near GB Euro on the Coral Bay Road - chef and family sitting outside smoking and petting their dog! Had a superb meal at Coral King!
