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.

The evening was excellent, the food was delicious with good sized portions and it arrived quickly. The only downside was the lack of availability of 3 of the mains which meant that 3 of the 6 of us had to change our first menu choice. Also one of the sides was not available. Whilst I completely understand the need to stop waste it was a shame that the menu was so limited at 7pm on a Saturday night. That said I would definitely go back again. Thank you The George for offering fresh, high quality dishes despite your prime location. As Londoners we are usually disappointed with the food offered in many central London locations- but you offer a wonderful menu and dining experience for tourists and locals alike.

Probably the best Sunday roast I’ve had in a month of Sundays. Compliments to the chef for the quality and tenderness of the meats. The waitresses were just right; happy, helpful but not over bearing. A really lovely old traditional pub with an extensive range of beers. Will be looking for a reason to return in the near future.

Highly recommend The George for Sunday Lunch. We ate in the upstairs dining room. Generous portions, delicious, well presented food. Beer and wine options excellent, including non alcoholic alternatives. Service was good by very pleasant, professional staff. Good atmosphere in this lovely, old, historic pub.

Had a meal here on a Saturday evening. The downstairs bar was lively, but the dining room upstairs was quite peaceful. Good service and the food was really good - not your standard pub food at all. I had duck livers to start which was excellent followed by a lentil & celeriac hotpot. Would recommend and will return.

I took my 84 year old Mum here for a pre theatre dinner. What can I say? The food was delicious and served very quickly by the very lovely Nyah for whom nothing was too much trouble, she even drew us a map from the restaurant to the theatre. Thank you.
The George, Pub & RestaurantResponded on 1 November 2024
Hi Liz, Thank you and your Mum for taking the time to visit the George. I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed a lovely visit and that Nyah took great care in looking after you both. I trust you made it to the theatre in time for a wonderful show and we will all look forward to seeing you both again soon. Kind regards, Team George

Felt like I was in a true British pub/restaurant. Of course, I had the fish and chips. Large pieces of flaky, moist and perfectly cooked fish in a crisp fried batter. Chips (french fries to us Yanks) were forgettable and kept this from being a 5star review. Service was great

Hi Nancy, Thank you for a great 4 star review. As a truly iconic British dish, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed our famous Fish & Chips. Although some improvement can be made towards our chips, I appreciate the feedback and honesty and look forward to seeing you on your next visit to London! Best wishes, Team George
