George Inn in Gravesham

Lovely place that managed to fit our family of 8 in at last minute for my daughters 16th bd. Food was lovely

Food is Overpriced and Underwhelming I visited The George in Meopham for a drink and a meal, but the experience was a huge letdown. I ordered the Cajun chicken burger (£17) and honestly felt completely ripped off. The meal was disappointing—average chips and a burger featuring a tiny, flattened chicken breast that was bland and tasteless. It included a sad excuse for a piece of chicken. I could have done better popping down to Tesco, buying a pre-cooked pack, and putting it in a bun myself. To make matters worse, the bun was topped with a flavorless skin-side-up tomato pinned to it—a bizarre and unappealing touch. Service was slow, and the staff didn’t seem attentive. It’s a shame because the location is lovely, but The George should stick to being a pub. If they insist on serving food, they need to stop ripping off their customers. I won’t be returning anytime soon for food.

We had a really tasty Sunday lunch here, the food was great and the service was great. It was very noisy, with a live singer on. Some people will like that and I don't think it's every week, but it was a bit loud for Sunday lunch, for me.

Went for lunch with a friend, lovely food as always. They always do a great selection of vegetables. Great staff who go above and beyond. Friend has complex medical needs and involuntary movement. They dropped food on the floor, staff were very understanding. Also came running after us with a handbag that was forgotten.

Lovely Sunday Roast at the George (well super burger for my Son) Service excellence very attentive without being ott and really polite team Food delicious and I would recommend the Sunday Roast. We all had the topside Beef option served with a nice veg selection The building is charming and only quibble is the restrooms need some tlc An afternoon well spent ….

Nice Sunday roast. Staff very welcoming and helpful.

Sadly the restaurant was almost empty making the atmosphere less than perfect. Excellent restaurant food and service we would recommend to anyone

Lovely pub Masterbrew was ok this visit, can be a bit hit and miss. Great staff Good beer garden

Staff were friendly and helpful. Not been there for a very long time but the improvements are really good

Have eaten here a few times, food is very nice , and service is good. You can eat in the bar , but it is much better in dinning room . When the weather is nice you can also sit outside in the garden. It can get a bit dangerous getting out of carpark on to main road, but I would still highly recommend a visit .

We chose to eat here as a change, to see what it like after reading recent reviews. It did not disappoint! Lovely food, excellent customer care, and very reasonably priced. The steak pie and mash is a must!

Right little gem of a village pub, under new management- please don’t alter the quaint feel but a little refresh of the menu away from the pub staples to locally sourced seasonal produce and this place would be a gold mine - clean up the decor and remove the less traditional fixtures and fittings - the food we had was excellent btw and all reasonably priced too

Decided to go here as its very local, was hugely disappointed everyone got there starter's but myself when I asked they said lady didn't put through then my dinner came out so did the starters I said I didn't want the starters now as to late got told well its cooked now, I had to ask for everything no cuterly was given or sauces etc when our food come out, trying get waitress attention was impossible. I even said the harvester was better! Was hugely disappointed considering it was our 1st time dining as locals.

Great food and service and great for a Saturday lunch. Had a lovely waitress called Ella she was very efficient and had great customer service skills. Would definitely recommend if you want good food but don’t want to spend too much money!

We visited this pub for a wake, I have dietary requirements and they catered for me perfectly, the food was outstanding!!! I would recommend this venue 💯

Unable to comment as it has limited access for mobility scooter.

The pub is still as beautiful as I remember with a lovely garden. We came to have lunch for a 70th birthday, however firstly we were disappointed to find a more limited menu to the one we found online. The menu online was one of the reasons we confirmed to book (excellent choice of burgers online as well as more refined dishes). I had visited several years before and knew the pub was great for food, however no children's menu, removal of several of our favourites was a bit disappointing. Whilst they did offer child friendly alternatives, these were limited, and no simple deserts offered for kids such as ice cream. Whilst the service was generally good, there was a few mix ups, e.g. child sausage comes with chips, but came with mash instead (however, they did provide the chips as well when we asked so not a major issue). The food was a decent standard, and tasted good, for the most part. Most of these are teething issues though I think as they are under new management quite recently so hopefully there will be some improvements soon. However, I think the vegetarian options need some work as they were the less tasty options on the menu (panang tasted a bit like something from a jar). The wine list also needs updating as not all the wines were on offer.

First time visiting The George Inn since it was taken over this year and wasn't disappointed. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Staff were very attentive and helpful. Will definitely be coming back.

Food good but very limited menu. Only sauvignon blanc available by the bottle was from New Zealand and therefore expensive

The pub is under new management so went for dinner tonight to see how it is. Beer good Food tasty Service awesome What more can you ask for!

Nice pub No master brew Great service

We love The George Inn. Lovely pub.

Friendly atmosphere, good food and service, very pleasant staff.

We were the only people in the restaurant so it was very quiet at lunchtime. Good food and service.

Great place. Good.menu choice and cooked well

First class. Great food. Very enjoyable time was had by all. Great hostess, think her name was Lorraine and the head barmaid Sharon.

Had a lovely lunch today... all staff very friendly and accommodating

Things change. I used to recommend this pub. The seating was uncomfortable. The food portion was small. Very. Though my coconut curry was quite tasty, my wife's dish was bland. We were not welcomed with a smile and told bluntly that what we had chosen on the menu was, in fact, not available. Normally that information would be given first. Everyone has an off day. I'm hoping that's what it was. I just think it wasn't worth the expense of getting there and eating there. Some people are obsessed with going out. Must have money to burn. The next day, I cooked veggie burgers in brioche buns, with fresh avocado spread inside the buns, served with M&S triple cooked chips. It was heaven and cost next to nothing.

Love this place food is always lovely and the staff were great

OK food bit expensive but enjoyed

Great place to go. Food good, atmosphere relaxing, service excellent

I don’t usually bother to write a review unless it’s a really bad one. However, we were very pleasantly surprised by everything about this place. I have only given 3 stars for the atmosphere but in fairness to the George, it was 6.30 on a Wednesday night, so I imagine it would be much better at 8pm on a Thursday. The menu was a bit limited but I prefer a limited menu well executed than an extensive menu poorly done. I would, however, recommend checking there’s something you like on the website menu before booking. Great food well presented, nice attentive staff and nicely laid tables etc.

Booked A Table In The Restaurant With Friends. The Quality Of The Food For Our Main Meals was awful the Seabass was Covered in Oil The chicken Escalopes were like something out of Icelands freezer And the Burger Was dry And Bland. The Prices They Charge I would Have expected Fresh Quality Food. Staff Wanted to move Us Out Of the restaurant To The Bar Area as they wanted to Close the Restaurant.We Took Our Drinks And Sat At A Table Which Was So Dirty The Beer Mats Were Stuck To The Table. Never To Return

Beware of the service charge for less than mediocre food. Service itself was nothing more than average. Table of 5 = service charge of over £20 automatically added to the bill. Grumpy staff obviously wanted to knock off early as bill brought to the table before we’d requested it (it was not long after 21:00 and we had planned on coffees). Dark and dingy atmosphere. Used to frequent this pub frequently when living in the area but will give it a miss in future.

Had a lovely meal with friends. The waitress was very good, friendly and professional. Would recommend and definitely go back 😀

Lovely food, attentive service and comfortable and spacious environment.

Will not be going back there again Visited today,Monday 19th June at 11am to be greeted,greeted is probably the wrong word because we were made to feel very uncomfortable and an inconvenience that we had arrived,they were too busy enjoying their time sitting in the garden chatting and most put out that we had arrived and would like a drink We would have had food but was told quite abruptly they would not be serving food under any circumstances so we just had our 2 Diet Cokes and sat in the garden and then left Do not understand why people have to be like this

Staff miserable service miserable like a morgue told staff about toilet paper stuffed in the men's loos not even acknowledged....w/o t go back miserable

Music choices weren't great for having a roast, but it had lovely food and attentive staff.

First visit yesterday, lovely pub, food was delicious, had hiccup ordered plain steak burger to come just with lettuce explained this twice was disappointed when it came out with everything in it, admittedly service was prompt from a young girl in restaurant area who rectified this very quickly, just a shame as me and husband had eat separately. Overall lovely place.

Food very good. The atmosphere is great, just come and visit this place

Nothing is too much trouble. Cannot recommend highly enough. Perfection in every sense. One slight problem. When cutlery is washed up make sure that it is thoroughly dry before wrapping napkins around them otherwise it is impossible to use them.

Service efficient, friendly people & great food BHL my favorite 😊

We had a meal here for my birthday and we weren’t disappointed. The food was really tasty and the staff were great. Lovely place😁

Really liked the set up in the dining area five of us had a round table. We all enjoyed our food and liked the choice on offer. Plenty of parking and noted an outside area if we ever get fine weather. Would definitely return to eat here.

Stopped for lunch on the off chance.. Lovely food and drinks. Large eating area outside and plenty of parking..

One of the best pubs in Meopham.

Lovely food, ambience, staff. Been before will go again.

Quality pub food. Not cheap but good. The young waiting staff often didn't know much about the menu but went and found the answers to our questions.

Nice quality meals, from my experience if you just want a main Sunday roast I had to dine in the bar because the restaurant is for 2 course sittings only

Enjoyable and tasty Sunday roast. Friendly helpful staff even though they were short staffed food was prompt and the staff remained helpful

Wow what a wonderful place for dinner. Great food and wonderful staff. Attention to detail is normally only what you find in 5star restaurants but the George Inn hits the spot.... Atmosphere of an old Kent pub and the smell of wood when you walk in is perfect. A wonderful outside area for when the weather is better a big bonus and plenty of car park spaces... Had the roast pork Sunday menu(perfect in every way).. if your looking for a bit of style and something special then it's well worth the £30 per head three course meal... Will be booking again for February birthday...

Friendly staff, friendly folk, not too busy. Nice fireplace. Thanks for the chat with Margaret. Didn't have food but the burgers I saw looked very good.

2nd visit for Xmas Lunch Menu 2022. Very nice meal. Food served hot, timely and of a high standard. Generous portions too. Well done..again The George Meopham.

Always lovely relaxing, food yummy staff friendly 😋

Lovely little find. I’ve been here many times over the past few years always with friends we visit in Kent. The food is always fantastic and the desserts to die for. Quite a surprise. The owner, very happy and attentive…

Fantastic service & fantastic food real good quality & all home made 5* will definitely be returning

This restaurant ticked all the boxes,nice atmosphere the food was of a high standard and well presented ,the staff were very friendly and helpful we were served by a lad named Jack he was most attentive and catered for all our needs, the menu would cater for most people and was of a reasonable price, I would recommend give this restaurant a visit.

As always, great food and service. Warm and cosy!

The restaurant is gorgeous, the food is great, the service is amazing. Unique views!

Really first class food & service

Went there for lunch because of varied menu. Not disappointed, great meal and drinks. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will go there again.

We came here for dinner after looking on their website with seriously out of date prices. When we arrived the service was good. The food was lovely. Just quite expensive which we were not expecting. Please update your website. Definitely would go back as a treat but would be able to afford to regularly.

Good food as usual would recommend

Very nice atmosphere, pleasant staff and tasty food. We went there for lunch and found the George Inn to be a very good choice.

Nice place can be abit noisy . Didn't have a meal . But friendly service

Great pub and lovely food..but not doing the lovely pulled pork side anymore!!

Arrived to be greeted to a table with menus. Ordered drinks and then went to order food after 30 minutes to be informed that no chefs were present to cook. Even though people on table behind had just finished eating. Disappointed that they didn't inform on arrival, when we asked for menu's. First visit to this pub. Clean and staff friendly. Menu choice looked good, however unable to fullfil any options. Probably won't return or recommend, due to lack of communication from staff on purchasing drinks about inability to do food. However, due to this inconvenience we ended up at Leather bottle in Cobham 5*.

Have just stopped by at The George for a drink with a friend. We arrived a few minutes past twelve noon and it appears caught the staff out a bit. There was a feeling of being an interruption to their day. The service was prompt but entirely perfunctory; not our experience on past occasions. My friend's G&T is fine but my pint of Spitfire bitter no more than average. Whilst writing this, two 'regulars' - who are dining here - have received an effusive welcome. I'm now feeling grumpy.

we had lunch at the George inn very nice, very well presented, and served by JO who was very helpful we could highly recommend this venue

Visited for late lunch, very enjoyable food but portions were small for the price & choice was a little limited. Good service & friendly atmosphere. Plenty of parking & good sized beer garden. Would like to return & try Sunday lunch based on food eaten today

Good food. Nice surroundings, ive visited this place often over approx 40 years. Old favorite.

A lovely place for a nice dinner service with a great quality of food. I had a cobb salad, my partner had the lamb burger and the children had fish goujons; all beautifully presented, tasted amazing and cooked well. The seating area was quite small so there wasn't any room for a pushchair and would imagine a wheelchair would also struggle to fit in comfortably. Overall a nice setting with friendly staff who even sang happy birthday to an unexpecting gentleman nearby who was eating alone.

Great reception, great service and great food! Go there and enjoy the experience.

A well presented lunch with good service .

Good food, lovely beer garden. Helpful young serving staff.

First visit. Had an evening meal with a couple of brews. Lovely food and great staff. Very friendly place, good atmosphere. Will return 🍻👍

Lovely old roadside pub with good food.

We had a lovely time at The George Inn , as usual. The food was wonderfull As were the staff, very helpful, especially the lovely Sharon !!! X I would certainly recommend this pub.

Ordered a lovely dish from the menu, but not the £20 Salade Nicoise which is a tad overpriced. It was basically meat gravy veg and potatoes. Sadly the meat and gravy arrived less than room temperature so I assume it was frozen but had not defrosted correctly. There was no steam coming off the meat and gravy which was a big giveaway. I put my finger in the middle of the plate to test and I was right, it was stone cold. Had to send it back to get reheated which is not a good look. So I sat on my own - starving - while watching the other people at my table ate their dinner which made me even more hungry. You know that frustration feeling when it starts to rise and eventually you lose your appetite because you are thoroughly fed up? Yes, that one By the time I got my meal back, the others were nearly finished. I hate it because I was starving. It was lukewarm at best and I couldn’t be bothered to send it back in the end because I would’ve end up eating my dinner whilst everyone was leaving the table Luckily I spotted the cold plate of food before I ate anything otherwise I would’ve been most unwell. ~ Attention to detail is essential in the restaurant business.

Have visited as a group on many occasions and the good and service has always been brilliant. Our Christmas meal was very well organised, and food served promptly.

Service was slow, I sent my main course back but when it was returned it was very nice. My friends main, steak pudding, was very stodgy. Overall a bit disappointing.

A delicious lunch. Great choice. The waitress was happy to amend what was on the menu to remove what I didn't like and replace it with something I did. All for of us enjoyed our meals immensely. Food was superb and nicely presented. Good portions. Friendly staff. Could not fault our experience at all. Thank you to all the staff.

Lovely pub, lovely staff, lovely food and beer! What more could you ask for!

Lovely pub. Great food and staff.

Amazing customer service ! The food was fine dining quality. Highly recommended !

A fine pub, being ruined in the search for profit

Such a wonderful service from genuinely friendly staff. My salmon was delicious. A relaxing, unrushed experience

Pricey for sure, but reassuringly so, the food was great and high quality but the waiting staff were a bit slow at times, meaning a bottle of wine ordered before the starters didnt come until the main course and meant i was still a glass in at the end of the meal but i was nice wine....

Lovely atmosphere in a quaint olde English pub. Great staff and excellent food. Maybe some portions were too small but just right for me. Looking forward to returning soon.

Mind your head 🤣 Nice old pub (with low beams) with a great atmosphere and brillaint selection of alcohol

Fantastic meal. Staff so friendly. Would definitely recommend.

We came to visit family and had a couple of drinks in the George Inn which was very welcoming, the staff were friendly and helpful when choosing what to drink. We will definitely go back on our next visit to Meopham.

Excellent service good food and drink, definitely will return

A lovely local pub with a wood fire

Nice food ,friendly staff, good beer

Went for a family birthday, food was great and the staff were very helpful and friendly and catered for all our needs. Would highly recommend this restaurant..
