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.

    Unfirtunately, we made our reservation only an hour before our arrival and ended up sitting by the door in the bar area. Not the best ambiance. But the service and the food were very good. The menu was very clear for allergies.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food and service, and that our allergy-friendly menu was helpful. We hope to welcome you back soon! All the best, Team George

    Very happy with the venue and the staff. Service was very efficient and friendly. Only one issue. I had pie for the main course. It came in a dish with a flaky pastry top. That’s not a pie where I come from. A pie should have shortcrust pastry all round! It was very tasty though, so shouldn’t grumble too much.

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the venue and the service. We appreciate your feedback on the pie – we always aim to offer unique twists on classic dishes, but we’ll certainly take your thoughts into consideration. We hope to welcome you back soon! All the best, Team George

    The whipped Stilton starter, scallops appetizer, and venison main course were all terrific! Best meal I have had in quite a long time, and best pub food in London. Upstairs dining room (with its own bar) is cozy and comfortable. Friendly staff, nice wine selection, and prompt service. I look forward to my next visit!

    Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your meal and had such a great experience in our upstairs dining room. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to the team. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!
