Customer Review Summary

The George draws regulars back for its beer and ale selection, with the pub named repeatedly as a go-to spot for watching football in what several describe as a warm, friendly atmosphere. Close behind is the food, praised at a funeral tea buffet as freshly made and at another visit as plentiful and nicely cooked, though one diner notes a lengthy wait between courses. Live music also features, with one reviewer highlighting the Georgefest lineup and quick, friendly service across the bar and courtyard. Dogs are welcomed, including in the conservatory, and poker tournaments and free darts get individual mentions, though one reviewer notes the darts sit too close to the pool table. One recent reviewer felt standards had slipped, citing an "awful" wine list, average food, and high staff turnover. Separately, one reviewer reports digestive trouble after eating a free curry offered at a pool tournament. Most others say they would return, several specifically for the beer and the football crowd.

Featured reviews

  • Michael Dryden
    “Didn't try any food so no ratings. Staff were busy but cordial. My first time going there was positive do will definitely go back.”
  • Paul Seage
    “Really good venue. Went to the Georgefest 2, good music, live bands(Franco Bono, Face The Strange, Sons of Robin). Not too busy or crowded. Service in the main bar and courtyard was quick and efficient, and also friendly. Reasonably priced.”
  • MR Smith
    “Nice place and people, free darts but it's too close to the pool table but can't find no faults in this place”
  • Abi Smart
    “Honestly. Read the room. 12 months ago you were so much better. Your wine list is awful food average and your staff turnover speaks volumes.”
  • Stephen Powell
    “I was invited to a poker tournament there, Fruday evening. 19 runners three tables. It was a well run tournament, with a good group of lads with varying experience. Shout out to Scarlet (I Think) who was ferrying drinks up stairs all night....I'll Be Back.”
