Had the fish and chips lunch. It was excellent. Came with mushy peas and homemade Tartar sauce, and was a very generous portion. Very tasty. Service was quick and very friendly, which all adds to the enjoyment. Would definitely eat there again, and recommend the George highly.
My parents found this place and it was our first stop in London. After going to many pubs in the area, this one takes the cake. Great staff, drinks and food, would recommend to anyone. Alastair, Paul, Jenny, Josh and the two Richs were especially welcoming!
We loved it, the food was faultless and the service was excellent. We had a drink downstairs before dining, the whole experience was great. The wine was so smooth and majestic.
On our first day in London after a redeye flight, we wanted a relaxed pub for lunch with decent food. The ME London hotel recommended The George, which is only three blocks away and on the Strand in the Coventry Garden theater district.
Ordering appetizers, we were not expecting to be surprised, but the soup of the day, the scotch egg, the mushrooms and the charcuterie were fantastic. We may go back for dinner sometime.

Fantastic traditional pub. Large area inside and plenty of seating including some in the outside alleyway. Great service, very friendly and attentive. Decent selection of beers available. Good atmosphere inside, traditional feel with it being a little dark.
Had a great Sunday lunch, had roast chicken and the pork belly both were great and nice presentations. Oh the roast potatoes were spot on crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
We were here for dinner and had a near perfect experience! We had dinner on the ground floor - which would be the pub. The atmosphere was really nice and it looks good too. Really nicely situated across from the Courts of Justice, which itself is amazing.
We had a really nice corner table overlooking the courts of justice. The staff was friendly and nice, a bit more attention would have been nice, but all in all it was good.
We both had fish and chips and this fish… so amazing. Perfect batter. Wonderfully fried. Beautiful color. Probably the best I’ve had on London during my five visits. Unfortunately the chips were deep fried to long. They had a brownish and stale exterior, even though the inside was quite tasty and not ruined yet by the heave fry on the outside. It was explained in the comment as a specific type of potato, but the exterior as mentioned was actually not always nice to eat, for example being to cruncy/crumbly- hence the 4 stars.
The issue with the chips brought this down to a 4, but if only that had been done right it would have been a crystal clear 5 star experience for this category!
This pub is an absolute gem. The vibe is perfect for so many different occasions whether it’s for after work drinks, a lovely dinner with friends or family, or even as a cute little spot in the dining room upstairs for a splendid date. They even have a cosy private dining room for gatherings which would be perfect for birthdays or small occasions. We had the Sunday beef and pork belly roasts, and they were both excellent. Tasting the freshness and flavors in every dish was immaculate. Service was beyond exceptional and the staff created an experience for us and every other table individually! Without a doubt coming back and bring as many friends and family to this beautiful pub!
A wonderful atmosphere in this lovely old Pub. Food was tasty, service was excellent and very friendly. I will definitely be going back. Great location in the city 👏
The George in London is a charming and cozy pub. providing a relaxing atmosphere for guests. The friendly and attentive staff. The location is fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and nearby attractions. The on-site restaurant serves delicious meals, and the cozy bar is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. With its warm hospitality and convenient location, The George is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a cozy and welcoming pub in the heart of London

What an absolutely lovely Sunday dinner we had last night. It was extremely busy the restaurant was fully booked but we luckily found a table in the bar. We had very limited choice for what we could order as they had run out of most things on the menu as it was that busy, but we went for the pork belly and it was stunning one of the best I've ever eaten! The wonderfully kind and chatty bar man recommended the chocolate pudding for dessert and it did not disappoint. Food is excellent and not too pricy for London, the cider was cold and affordable and although as with most places they appeared to be understaffed everyone was really friendly and happy to help. Had a wonderful meal with a nice crowd. Highly recommend.
Great food and service. I loved the dining area upstairs away from the noise pub.
We had the pleasure of enjoying a lunch at The George a couple of days ago. Our server was a mature woman who made us feel like family. EPIC fish (no chips for me) and salad. Great portion sizes and oozing with the atmosphere of a classy historic pub. Highly recommend!!
We booked a table for dinner here. It’s a pub and restaurant. Basically ground floor is the pub and 1st floor is the restaurant.
We went there around 6 p.m and bar was completely packed. But restaurant part was very quiet.
It is a historical pub. Initially around 500 years ago it was a coffee house. Outside of the building still have that vibe.
They have good food. I enjoyed their burger. I had fun time there.
Atmosphere was amazing. Interior was really cool.
Staff were super friendly.
