George in Croydon

Just had two of Weatherspoons 8oz steak menu, it was wonderful cooked to perfection. Highly recommended together with a Merlot Wine. Go upstairs not so busy and great A/C keeping you nice and cool in today's temperature 32c.

Cheap and cheerful you get what you pay for here but the basic food does represent good value for money. A good range of real ales. Service is average.Downstairs gets very crowded and noisy . We dined upstairs which was much calmer and more civilised Toilets are on the first floor

Waited 50 minutes for breakfast with no communication from any staff. No apologies for the wait time when food finally arrived.

Or order (for 4) consisted of 3 good dishes and one that was very poor . Thee Gourmet 8oz Sirloin steak was 30% gristle. It was a shame as the person who ordered it - it was their birthday . Hopefully the kitchen noticed the gristle returning on the plate and made a note of it because it wasn't cheap compared to other items on the menu. (£14.54).

Good good, good drinks, excellent service. Not busy at all. Fabulous value too. Will be returning! Special thanks to the young lady, working upstairs, with several walkie talkies strapped to her belt. She was lovely, friendly, happy! Delightful lady!

Not sure what people are complaining about in the reviews this is a pub, that serves food, not a restaurant, there are no 'waiters'! Honestly, great food, never had a bad dish, great staff - George and Laney in particular - been going here since it opened and have been to some dodgy Wetherspoons, but this isn't one!!

I tried the cod and chips and a pint of Ruddles at The George. I got what I expected and enjoyed my lunch. The staff were polite and efficient. Overall: a well maintained and run establishment which is value for money.

The Manager is so rude every time we go in this place, absolutely disgusting behaviour from him. He’s rudeness has happened on more than one occasion and when we were in the pub other people sat next to us said he is a nasty man and the pub has completely gone down hill. Unfortunately it is also rubbing of on his staff who have to make an effort to serve you! Been going there many years and not once had to complain… absolutely disgusting behaviour from the bar manager Mario and will not be coming back any time soon. It was such a lovely place to eat and see friends.

I had a chicken and chips the chicken came out all slimy and uncooked no one came round to the table to ask how our meal was had to get a waiters attention told him the food is uncooked and I actually feel sick. He took it away. Then 5 minutes after a barman came over said this is how we cook it. I said I am very unhappy with the food then he walked away. No one else came back so I stood outside the kitchen and asked for the manager. A waiter said the manager is here can you speak to her. I said who do you think you are talking to her. He apologised I said I have had a bad meal and now you are speaking to me like this you need to have some costumer service training. Kim manager gave me a refund and apologized for her staff for talking to me like this.

Breakfast wraps bland, bacon overcooked and all our table orders came out at different times- part of meal was forgotten so everything else went cold while we waited for it. Friendly staff and clean toilets - also rather dusty bottles over the top shelf behind the bar

Visited this pub this evening and the service was one of the worst I have ever received. Young, brown haired girl on shift spoke to myself and my family horrendously, so rude and had the worst attitude. We were told we had to leave by 9 due to their license, although this has never been the case on any of our previous visits. Either make this clearer to your staff as there’s a huge lack of knowledge on this, or make it clearer before I give you my money. We were not told to politely leave, she told us ‘get out’ and stood at our table until we did so. Although, there was children still in the pub clearly under 18. Even a toddler running around. No one in my party was underage, but these literal CHILDREN were never told otherwise or kicked out when we were. I will never be returning to this pub and will do all I can to get word around about how awful this place is. Discrimination shown at its finest.

Order from mobile..good variety of dinners..1 persons food a Pizza came 1st & was hot , they had nearly finished when the remaining meals arrived ..food was goid but not very warm :-( the Scampi ok but chips & garden peas barely warm.Curry & Rice dishes Hot ..not good serving 1 persons meal at completely different time..spoilt the evening a bit..

Came from Reading to Staines to visit some good friends. Initially weren’t to enthusiastic to go to a Wetherspoon as we tried other Wetherspoons before and didn’t really like it. We sat on the top bar and ordered food and drinks and Marco served us (I think he was the manager) and was very polite and his service was really good, came to check on our food a couple times and on the desserts, I think he might have sensed there was a “special” occasion for us. The guys at the bar was also very good and the drinks were pretty quick even tho it was busy, the atmosphere was nice as the staff seemed all very happy and with a smile on their faces, they seemed to enjoy what they were doing. The food wasn’t amazing but it was up to expectations. Only thing we didn’t like is that there wasn’t any music but a part from that it was an unexpectedly lovely experienced so thank you everyone.

Swore we would never visit again after weeks of"items off menu" or waiting ages for food. Today we made the mistake of going again after deciding things couldn't get any worse, it did! No sauce for many dishes and 30 minutes wait for two slices of toast which eventually turned out stone cold and soggy :-( If you need a pint and whisky chaser for breakfast this is the place for you. If you need food you will be better going to McDonald's. I suspect this place is allowed to open early because it serves good. Believe me it doesn't! Abandon hope all you who enter here.

This place just gets worse ! We used to eat there every week till it started going downhill , it just got worse and worse ,raw uncooked eggs ,long waits for cold food , the Accessible Toilet is often dirty etc ,so we started going in now and again hoping for change , sadly we got that , it went even further downhill , today was just the last straw . As usual out of stock items , knowing how awful the Breakfasts are , dried out bacon ,raw eggs , ask for a cooked yolk and the whole thing gets cremated , we decided on Toast and Coffee , 40 minutes later one lot of stone cold Toast on a stone cold plate arrived after I’d asked the Bar Staff where our order was , later the other portion arrived in the same state . Everyone in the place was complaining of cold food and as usual cold plates , one .Man gave his Breakfast back because it was so cold it was inedible . We go to Wetherspoons all over the Country from Glossop to Street and everywhere else , and never do we have to endure such awful Service and bad food ! This place needs putting on special measures or closing down before someone becomes Ill through bad food management .We certainly won’t go there again and I hope others will stay away too . One Star for the Coffee the only hot thing in the place .

Worst meal of my life, dirty grill left gross tasting bar marks, everything super well done and like boot leather. Putrid and never had such filth. 12 years of kitchen experience to Michelin head chef level, expected crappy cheap food due to price but it fell so far below that! Genuinely and legitimately the most desgusting dry inedible garbage iv ever had. Total disgrace to catering and I hope CMI do emergancy inspection ASAP as I witnessed cross contamination and no allergy protection either. Didn't even ask how I want my beef cooked!!! Wow!!!

The blonde lady who served us was so smiley and happy she was interactive and had great customer service, love this pub and me and my mates come here all the time !

3.5 star I would give . Bcos you won’t get cheaper beer anywhere else than here . Food is okey . But most important it give the good vibe of a proper pub . Friendly environment , good place to hangout with friends and even solo . Just be careful about the security they are very strict so times they may bully you without any reason z

The pub is dirty and plates and tables rarely cleaned. That aside, the cocktails and drink selection are fantastic. It’s a must visit if you’re eating out or drinking on a budget. It’s in a great location and you can use the app to order.

Yet another bad visit, nothing has changed! We were hoping things improved at this pub but no! We ended up waiting an hour for food and when we finally got the food,the bacon was so undercooked that could've been revived! Hell will freeze over before...

What a dump! For a family reunion we originally arranged to go to the Harvester a few doors away. They could not accommodate us so we headed for the George instead. Mistake. The pros....The prices. Reasonably priced food and drink. Food was fine. The bill...

Most understaffed Wetherspoons ever . Been struggling all day then the evening staff all turn up. Leave my dribk for 2 minutes to go the toilet, gone when I get back

Dreadful lack of staff, shortage of glasses. Nice upstairs bar which isn’t open despite being busy, had to order on the app waited 10 minutes then had to go downstairs to get the drinks.

Racist. They only serve white people first. When asked, the bar woman replied that I have to wait due to my skin colour. I would have thought that staines has got rid of their racist attitude by now. Never will go or enter that pub...

Not too busy as it was midweek and raining heavily the whole night. The drinks were cheap and the food ok. Typical pub grub.

I've come down from Rochdale to visit my mother for her 94th birthday, I thought I would treat her to lunch. She ordered chicken strips and I ordered the beef madras. My mother's meal was OK my curry was served with a naan that was...

We decided to have breakfast but we’re too late so had the small all day brunch. Soapy beans half cooked bacon and 3/4 cup of tea. Never again.

Visited The George last night with family. I must say that our overall experience was awful. The staff, in particular the supervisor, were intimidating. They were rude to the customers. There was a broken bottle on the floor near our table . The food was...

A pleasant visit to a Spoons that didn’t appear to have a problem with stock. All the food we ordered was available (other than still bottled water) and bar staff were great. We were met at the door by a group of security officers (bouncers)...

We were staying in Staines for Thorpe Park and cam e to the Wetherspoons both nights. It is a great pub and lots of space. We ordered via the app and service was quick. We had prawns as a snack were tasty. On the second...

Nice to be back to normal buying a pint at the bar. First time being in here. Typical spoons though. Cheap prices. Stella 2.99

Staff are doing a great job - shout out to George and Mimi- food as good as ever (curries) and a great choice of excellent ales. My experience of the social distancing has been very good and feel totally confident going there.

Weatherspoons prices and a good selection of well kept beers. Toilets were spotless. Probably the cheapest place in town for hot, basic food.

Me and my family of five arrived and had to wait in line for over an hour. Understandable as there are limited spaces for social distancing. But when we finally arrived there was little to no social distancing. People were walking around, moving and swapping...

George is the best place to experience West Indian cuisine. The jerk pork is tasty and authentic. Oxtail and hard food has to be tried to be believed. The curry goat is just like mums the best. All the chicken dishes cannot be compared. Can't...

Dropped in here for breakfast just as the new government guidelines came into force and the staff were so professional.

We went here just for drinks before a meal in a local restaurant. The staff greet you on entry and ask you to complete a track and trace form, we were directed to an empty table and as I love Spoons app jumped straight on...

Was greeted by a lovely gentleman making us do track and trace and seated us to a table. He told us to remain in our seats unless we where going to the bar or toilet. This I though was really good COVID Procedures 😊. We...

This is probably the worst spoons I've ever been too. Food was absolutely disgusting - undercooked pizza dough, burnt burgers and took ages to come. When it came, order was wrong. Then took ages for them to correct the order. Pub wasn't even busy and...

Been coming to this pub for a long time now and got to say the current staff ate awesome there really all so helpful and polite really makes it a pleasant place to come to special remarks for florin he is one of the managers...

Came here on a week night to try and see how they are coping with the new rules. Started brilliantly with a chap on the door giving forms for track and trace and showing us to a table. Ordered drinks at the bar and food...

Came with my partner and 4 year old daughter. Totally out of chips and peas. Not willing to move on price and staff were rude. Tables dirty and clientele were swearing everywhere. Left without completing our order or we would have had fish, beans and...

Big up Katie, best member of staff there, made my 18th the best and had a right laugh.. even if I did fall down the stairs and in her words ‘cause a scene’.. fully rate🤛🏼

Been here a few times for breakfast Very popular, have passed at lunch and the fish and chips look lovely.

Excellent value for money. Nicely seasoned gammon and chips with good sized portions and a tasty lasagne. With 2 drinks added it came to under £17. Great value for money and enjoyable at the price.

Had friends visit from out of town. We went to have breakfast at the George on a Sunday morning. I would highly recommend. Great menu choices-delicious breakfast including gluten free.

Wetherspoons seems to be taking over all the old pubs that still have character and making them piles of crap. The floorplan is unique, relaxed, kind of like a casino. It's a fun dive bar vibe and locals are all hanging out drinking and talking....

Myself and my partner came here this evening for a quick bite to eat, cheap & cheerful we thought. We ate our food..... wasn’t too bad but nothing to write home about, we got what we paid for.... however, after finishing our meals, we went...

Good mix of people but, the place is filthy, tables covered in sticky dried on food, and the sauce bottles are covered in muck, also i have seen better chairs in a charity shop. The food itself is either burnt or almost stone cold, once...

Staff more interested in taking their cigarette breaks than serving customers, Paid for drinks no thank you.So I said many thanks for you custome.Well couldn't believe the next time I went to the bar 2 staff walked away leaving me standing wait to be served.When...

I clearly ordered the wrong thing when I ordered a burger. However, it was just a plate of 1500 calories of brown fried food.

Burnt Toast, burnt bacon, uncooked egg, the whole breakfast was cold and served on a cold plate, coffee cold, workmen working outside with the door open putting up new LED lighting so very noisy drilling and sawing going on, Sticky tables and worn out chairs,...

Food Luke warm and very poor not good serive good very clean and tidy.Drinks good prices would go again but not for food .

Not too busy as it was midweek and raining heavily the whole night. The drinks were cheap and the food ok.

Just went for a drink..The door man was friendly and helpful..drinks prices are very reasonable..but full of a very young crowd..in large groups and they were .. extremely loud ..sticky dirty tables..and dirty toilets...

Went on a busy Thursday night and it was fine, The curry was a lot better than some other Wetherspoons we eaten at. Beer prices were also good and staff were pretty good too. All in all a good night out.

Great wetherspoon pub with good cocktails and good food. Quick service, cheap breakfast, lunch and dinner

this used to be a decent pub when vasak was manager unfortunately he has moved back home to prague so the pub is being managed by so called managers who don't have a clue about customer service etc they are all ignorant and rude and...

A group of us went to the George on Thursday and the bartender (Molly) was incredibly rude. We bought drinks at around 11:45pm and were sat at one of the tables. Some of us went to the toilet, and when we came downstairs Molly was...

Visited on two nights recently. As with most Wetherspoon pubs there was a good choice of beers, cider and lagers. Service was very good. Had a steak on the second night which was cooked to order and was very good value. The pub has a...

My partner and I came here to line our stomachs on a Saturday lunchtime before a few beers elsewhere. We were undecided on where to go and thought that this was a pretty safe place to eat. Upon arrival we were a bit worried about...

Have been visiting most Saturday's and recently we have had to wait almost an hour for bacon rolls. This week we were informed no more rolls only bread and coffee machine broken and unable to get repaired over weekend. This pub is always busy maybe...

Awful experience. Family friendly stickers on doors. Sat upstairs. Tried to place food order at unmaned bar. Waiter was miserable, reluctantly took 4 adult and 1 child orders. No drinks were upstairs that you can attach to meal, ie red wine. Food was ok although...

Had a very nice lunch here the staff were vey attentive, especially Jamie. Food was good. Value for money.

Ive been a regular at this pub for 11 years and I've grown a real appriciate for the place but tonight I was appalled at the behaviour of the new bouncer who threatened, and verbally abused an unsuspecting member of the public. Being a regular...

I was thoroughly enjoying my time at the George. An establishment I've enjoyed for many years under the purview of a fantastic general manager Vash. Oh how I miss him so. This evening while in the garden finishing a cigatarette my friend was chatting with...

We visited The George for breakfast on our visit. The manager was rude and unhelpful. My wife ordered a sausage on toast only to told they don't do it when they do. He was abrupt and told us to get downstairs because upstairs was shut....

Used to go here a lot but after three stone cold meals on the trot gave up. If you want a good breakfast try the Harvester.

Ordered food with a 30 minute wait. Waited 30. Got told it'll be another 10. Wait 15. Got told another 10... And then got told another 20! We decided to leave and they didn't even offer a refund on our juice. One was full and...

visited on a Saturday morning for breakfast after staying in the travelodge overnight, breakfast was very good, tasty and well cooked

Great lively pub with a great selection of beers and spirits..prices are good too. We didnt eat but the menu looks marvellous.

I always use the app on my phone at Wetherspoons. The food quality at the George is amazing value for money. Ordered drinks via the app too and they arrived within 3 minutes and the food arrived in less than 10 minutes. Quieter upstairs. Good...

The staff here know how to choose a great beer that will go very well with a Wetherspoons quick bite to eat.

Busy Friday night so they didn’t clean their glasses properly and I got tonsillitis from bacteria on the glasses. Would not go back.

O Pub eh padrao Wetherspoons, oferece refeicoes e bebidas com precos mais baixos. Eh um bom custo beneficio, o Fish...

Went in for breakfast on a Sunday morning. Waiting to order whilst the manager was sitting around the corner of the bar. She finally got up and took my order. Waited a long time for the food to arrive despite the restaurant being quiet. When...

Popped in here for a quick drink after dinner elsewhere.There were doorman checking I'd's on the way in.It was very busy and I've never been into a wetherspoons of an evening but it is what it is.A round of 4 double spirits was £17.10 amazing...

We were at the George in Staines last Wednesday for breakfast , it was great . The pub is busy and the service is fab . Veggie option available even vegan which was better . Breakfast for two with unlimited coffee and tea for under...

Have just been refused entry to the George at 7:15 pm with my 15 year old child to eat food. Is this a new law ?. No local bylaws for this. Was fine the metropolitan in London last night at the same time. Over zealous...

You cannot beat Wetherspoons for value for money. The staff in Staines are great, friendly and efficient. The food is great and the drinks are cheap. We eat & drink there every few months and it's always great service. Just once we had a steak...

This place is certainly worth a visit, really lovely food from a really varied menu at very very reasonable prices. Alll cooked to perfection and served in double quick time.

Regularly visit this Wetherspoon. Always good, better than other ones that are close to where we live, cheaper than Windsor and Henley. Look for managers specials displayed on bar. Excellent value. Good selection of beers

I often look for Weatherspoonss outlets when away on business because the app works really well and the food is normally reasonable. So here I ordered Lamb Shank, the lamb was cold but the gravy was piping hot. Not a big deal, but when I...

You don't come here expecting Gourmet food, but what you do get is good food that is really low cost, a buzzing atmosphere and a cheap night out. Enough said

Excellent service by Ashley. Very professional. Well mannered Very polite. Good atmosphere. Good food

Very good place for a typical pub meal and also one where I felt comfortable on my own. Very typical pub food and great variety. Good service and popular place.

the cheapest pub in staines, could do with a face lift, but if your just going out for a cheap night its worth going there

I never thought I would be writing a review on this pub to say how much I enjoy eating and drinking in here. Food is so great for value with a lot of choices coming with a free drink. On a diet, there are low...

It's been a while since I last visited The George so I thought it was worth another review. The food and service were great - as was the waiting time as I had a really busy day and just popped in to warm up between...

Really great place at the lower end of the budget. Quality food for the price, and great selection. Only negative is that they seem to have changed the senior staff and you can tell the management is slipping.

I have been there several times over the past few years and I was originally very impressed with the people that worked there, they seemed very efficient. Although the most recent time I visited, the staff were friendly and welcoming, yet they seemed less organised...

Food and drinks are really good.. And staff are amazing.. Would recommend to everyone. Chicken strips are the best

What would you rather use the toilet with poo or bloody period when you need to pee? Bar staff didn’t shake drinks before opening so lumpy bits in the J20s and bitter lemons... no smiles during service, never wiped tables only ever cleared glasses (occasionally)....

Manager came over to our table and informed us that if we wanted to order separately using the dedicated Wetherspoons app we should "find somewhere else to drink". This was after we had only ordered one drink, and were otherwise planning on ordering in groups,...

It was a hot day so we ate in their beer garden out in the back - it's amongst smokers, possibly not suitable for those with young children, and diners may want to watch out about table condiments (mayo, mustard, etc) being left out in...

Late Christmas shopping with my daughter, as usual caught to buy her lunch, turned out I needn't have worried. She had used the George before and raved about it, went into a good atmosphere, picked a table and ordered Steak & Kidney pudding, Chips and...

Nice and quiet, food very good value and tasted good, coffee excellent (latte) and good price, served quickly and efficiently, no complaints, food was nice and hot after a couple of visits and enjoyable. Staff very quick to serve.

I had lunch there today and food was alright. I went for the grilled chicken/bacon burger served with fries and onion rings (see picture). The portion was big and the food served hot and quite quick. Nothing outstanding, it was not good not bad. I...

Was staying just down the road and looking for some breakfast. Was very busy when we got there, managed to get a table and order, had to wait about 20 minutes but was told beforehand. Food was nice when it arrived and refillable tea and...

I have no expectations but when you order rare sirloin and bring it to the table, well done and then very well done and the third time comes after 20 minutes with the cutlery and the napkin on the plate, I should be happy
