King George V

It was an amazing pub. We moved to the area only a few months back, and were sad to find out the pub was closing at the end of 2022. The hosts are amazing, they did everything to make guests feel welcome. We had an amazing Sunday lunch there (very affordable), and also visited 2 days before they closed to support our local pub and enjoy a banjo performance. I was also surprised to find how many social activities they offered, and was looking forward to tasting all those Belgian beers in the menu. Really hope that the pub reopens again!

After popping to some other local places we noticed, upon our walk back, that the George V had some music - the place looked interesting so we ventured in. Glad we did! This is the sort of pub that you sort of know exists but don't come across often. Plenty of naval and historical things to look at on the walls / ceilings, some live music playing and a good selection of drinks. Feels like a 'proper' pub. We visited late on a Sunday which is a shame as they have a free cheese and biscuit selection which we missed out on! There is not loads of space inside but the pub feels warm, nice people and fairly chilled.

A fine and unexpected retreat that offers an old world atmosphere and a melancholic feeling of all the homely pubs you've had the good fortune to visit. Impeccable selection of drinks served by the pub manager Adam whom is the reason for which I return very regularly! His conversational acumen, professional welcoming approach, and clear robust experience is rare to the point of seldom crossed. Could not recommended enough!

So wonderful that the pub back in the owners hands and fully restored to its former historic self . The staff are wonderful and welcoming , the chef cooks great food especially the home made pies and the special - moules frites - better than any top restaurant . Value for money the food is great . The real ale selection is back to excellent . Highly recommend for a pleasant lunch or evening in a friendly local .
