About George Staples
Originally the Woodman, it was built in 1845 and was one of the first buildings in Blackfen. It was then demolished and rebuilt in 1931 by Reffells Brewery when large-scale building began in the area. Refurbished in 2007 and renamed after the original landlord and refurbished again in 2018. It is now a comfortable and pleasant large single-roomed pub/sports bar with large TV screens for sport in all parts. Plenty of outdoor seating available, mainly on artificial grass, with pleasant lighting and plants on the walls. Lilley's ciders are sold but not considered real by CAMRA.

This was a real surprise for us...visiting The George Staples that was recently renovated turned out to be a great find. Beautifully redone inside and with an extensive food menu, this is well worth a visit. They are great supporters of real ale and cider and at the time of writing this review had 5 real ales on and around 7 different ciders. It's also worth noting they are great with kids and are a dog friendly pub. Very impressed with the staff overall and we're lovely, helpful people. Thanks to the whole team for such a great visit.

Went here for christmas day dinner was good. Bit disorganised when we first arrived but comfortable and a big table, the food was good except all our party's vegetables were hard. We would try there on a lunchtime one day.....

Great atmosphere djs were amazing with nice lighting and effects, outside is a great garden with TVs in the huts perfect for watching sports, toilets are clean and well kept. Drinks served quickly and with a smile from staff and food was great and didn’t take too long and came out hot, lots of parking space available and variety in the menus definitely becoming more often whilst the weather stays nice
