    We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.

    The food was delicious. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Loved the decor but the overhead lighting is too bright—I think the atmosphere would be warmer and cozier if the overhead lighting was dimmed, making the most of the fireplace and the cute little lamps on the tables.

    Overall excellent. The Sunday roast (Cap of beef) was really great and good value for Monday at this price point. Service was attentive and genuinely delivered with care and consideration. We have been a few times now and will definitely return. Thank you all and keep up the great work. I have twenty years of experience in the hospitality sector so I'm hard to please!

    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.
