About George
Gastropub for Modern British fare and local spirits and ales in a charming space above The George.
Opposite the Royal Courts of Justice, a tavern was said to have been built on the site in 1723 but the Tudor style frontage dates only from an 1898 rebuild. The old pub sign (seen in our 2013 side alley picture) showed George III: however the pub is believed to be named after a former landlord and reference to royalty has been removed from the current signage. The splendid façade leads to a redecorated dark wooden floored and panelled bar interior, with some partitioned seating areas opposite the bar and a further area of tables and chairs at the back. The Dining Room upstairs is generally used for functions or private dining.
The food menu includes pub classics "with a modern twist", and has a moderately upmarket feel; on Sundays roasts are added to the menu. The landlord has said he hopes to have a range of 7 cask ales and 2 cask ciders available, barring time between changes.

The George has some of the friendliest most attentive service in London. Beautiful traditional looking pub, has a great beer selection and spirits. Didn't try the food, but definitely next time!. Friendliest bartender 👌

This is the last stop of our small group (Not so small with 15 people) of London Historical pub tour we booked via Viator! I just love the half timber house that is a such time stamps for the city! We enjoyed the beer we ordered but the kitchen was closed already when we arrived. So we may have to come back again to enjoying the full experience of this pub!

Went for Sunday roast with family who was visiting from abroad. They made the reservation more than a month before, for 5 people. We called to add one more person a few days before, which they said was perfectly fine. However when we got there, the staff told us it was only for 5. I told them we called and they said it was fine, but the staff seemed super confused. The first table they took us too was right by the kitchen and it only fit 4 people even though the original reservation had been for five, and the fifth chair added was directly in the way of the kitchen entrance and would have…

The Sunday roast pork belly is just too enjoyable. The skin is very crispy and the pork belly itself is surprisingly very tender. The gravy is also very good with the pork. However, the apple sauce is a bit different than my expectation and I guess it is just not my type. I would prefer the pork belly alone better. The range chicken is a bit pity. The skin is again very crispy and brilliant, but the meat itself is a bit too dry. Comparing to the pork belly, this is definitely not a satisfying roast. Nevertheless, I would still recommend their pork belly and would love to try their sirloin…

Nice Sunday roast here at The George, potatoes were incredible. Also got the scotch eggs which were fantastic. Really liked the setting, felt historical but not old or dusty.
