About George

Authentic 17th-century coaching inn and pub with oak beams and large courtyard seating area.

Modern pub, with a bright contemporary decoration and furniture. One large bar extends into a number of different areas. Many TV screens for sports events. Outdoor area shares the same courtyard as the historic George which is opposite.

With effect from November 2022 the venue was taken over by Greene King, renamed, and is now managed alongside the neighbouring former coaching inn of the same same.

    Great historical pub with an abundance of atmosphere. Lots of charming features. Food was delicious, good choice of ales on offer. We had Dean looking after, he offered a great service, knowledgeable with the menu. Helpful and attentive. Thanks Dean for making our first trip a good memory - we will certainly be back... Lauren who also served us towards the end of the meal was polite and offered good customer service

    We were a large table and ate upstairs in the gallery so had table service. The front of house staff were excellent and the service was great all night. The food was mixed in terms of quality and very poor value for money. I had the house burger which was £18.45. The burger was dry, burnt, and overcooked. The burger was a good size but only came with a small bucket of fruits. My partner had the Duck Hash which tasted very nice and was very soft and moist. However it had a bit of plastic in it which was presumably from the plastic packaging the food came in from the off-site production…

    Have been here many times. Great atmosphere in the evenings. Today we booked a table upstairs. Strange atmosphere as we arrived 15 minutes early for our table but had to wait 15 minutes before we were asked what we would like to drink. The toilets were closed so we had to walk downstairs and to the far end of the building to use the public bars toilet. Food was lovely. Staff were very friendly and would definitely use it again.

    A historic inn. Been coming here for the odd drink for years. The inside has charm, as does the courtyard area. Always thronging with people until closing. Great in the summer. Good beers on tap. Our service was pretty rude this time round but otherwise it was a decent place. There is water available in jugs by the window. Lots of nice seating indoors. Some ropey toilets upstairs but nice walk to reach them.

    Great building with lots of history, good food and drink with pleasant and attentive service. We dined in the Gallery room. Only points of improvement would be some flexibility especially during quieter times, for instance: if someone wants to dine on the terrace 2 feet away from the inside tables I don't see the harm but we were told it would not be table service on the terrace and it was 28° outside also if someone was to order a drink that's available downstairs but not in the small bar upstairs again surely to bring a specific drink upstairs wouldn't be too much trouble. Small issues but…
