The George Public House is a Victorian reincarnation of a 15th century coffee house located at the meeting point of the Strand and Fleet Street, directly facing the spectacular architecture of the Royal Courts of Justice and a 10 minute walk from the West End. In the Autumn of 2014, The George underwent an extensive and considerate refurbishment of the ground floor bar and first floor dining room. This saw the creation of an elegant and sophisticated restaurant; The George. We have carefully retained the original features of this historic pub and have tastefully added our own stamp while keeping a traditional feel throughout.

The restaurant upstairs at The George is open all week and offers an exciting, modern British menu, using only the finest seasonal, local produce, as well as fantastic roasts on Sundays.
We are currently offering the same menu in both the pub and the restaurant.

    Excellent, friendly and helpful service. The Sunday roast menu was comprehensive and the food was well presented and of high quality. The wine list was extensive with interesting varieties on offer. The charges are on the high side but in accordance with what now appears to be the norm in London. We enjoyed our meal and visit very much. The bill was chargeable on card only and included an already charged service charge of 12.5 %. We would have preferred to have left a discretionary amount in cash directly for the excellent waiter who served us so well.

    50% of the dishes were not available, including all of the vegetarian starters. The only veg main option available was pretty terrible. The desserts were also very poor.

    Our family enjoyed our Sunday roast! It was delicious! Our reservation needed to be moved up due to an error in the booking system for the time we chose and they took care of it quickly.

    What fantastic service. Food did not disappoint but the service was the real star of the evening - upstairs manager (they let us sit upstairs given how packed downstairs was) made the whole evening a treat.

    Good menu choice. Sunday so roast options but good other choices which covered the people who dined and not just the usual pub fare either. Very good quality food. Staff very helpful and friendly. Good choice of beer on draft.

    Arrived quite early but happily accommodated us whilst we waited on our table. Roast dinner for four could not be faulted, great portion and very good. Staff all helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend & return 😊

    If you want beautiful food coupled with a wonderfully relaxed ambience, this is your place. A great buzzing pub bar downstairs but peace reigneth upstairs. Didn’t give 5 stars for ambience just because very quiet when we dined, due to short staffed. Would definitely book again.
