George Pub Alton in East Hampshire

Great atmosphere for an early drink. Only problem was,early Friday evening, plus start to the weekend, NO ale on tap! Only offering lager and Guinness! Other than that quite busy and good atmosphere but sort your beer out

Excellent food,service atmosphere. Friendly staff,went above and beyond for us. Very good price on 3 course's many options

We went to the George for the first time since the change of owners. We went to celebrate a family birthday. We had a good welcome, good food and drink. There was a band playing and they played 'Happy Birthday' for us. Altogether a very enjoyable evening.

What an experience! Drink excellent , service excellent and food to die for! Starters, mains and puddings were absolutely gorgeous ! We are so glad that this little gem is on our doorstep . Give the George a try, you will not be disappointed ! We will be back very soon. Thanks to all at the George once again!

Love the style of the pub. However they only accept card payments. If you buy a soft drink and go to the toilet you will be aggressively shouted at and publicly humiliated by the owner, who accuses you of taking drugs or filling your drink with your own spirits. Men shouldn’t be in the ladies toilets either!

Smashing Sunday roast, several options, well kept beer, good service, glad to see the pub back again .

Helpful staff member explained when I booked for Tuesday night that they serve only tapas earlier in the week. On arrival happy to be told they’d decided to serve the full menu that night - resulting in an unexpectedly excellent, keenly priced meal. Pigeon breast with beetroot purée starter, cajun spice coated chicken breast and lemon posset for me, duck breast cassoulet and a huge apple crumble with masses of vanilla custard for my pudding loving spouse. Both agreed it was hard to see how our meals could have been bettered, especially at these prices, with all 3 meats ‘just so’ - juicy and tender with good accompaniments and attentive friendly service. Having praised the food to our server he explained that the chef had cooked in Michelin restaurants - and it showed! Will definitely eat at The George again next time we are in the area!

Wonderful bar staff, really great food and an amazing live band! Thoroughly recommend. A perfect atmosphere for a night with friends :)

Chose this pub as our lunch stop on a bellringing outing - couldn't have been better! Very friendly, very accommodating, good service, delicious food (and not over-sized portions which are so common nowadays!), excellent value. Staff were great with the two dogs that were with us, too!

Amazing evening. Friendly staff, delicious 2 for 1 cocktails and yummy food. The mac and cheese was properly cheesy!! Thoughtful things like tampons available in the loos. A singer in the evening wasn’t too imposing with a lovely voice. Will definitely be going back!

What a fantastic little pub, the staff really went above and beyond to ensure I had an amazing birthday. From fantastic staff, great ambience, and delicious food there really isn’t anything I could fault. I have a severe nut allergy and am very weary of where I eat as I have had issues with eating out in the past, so a massive well done Matt and the fantastic team!!

No beer on tap!food was not great.menu change was very disappointing as very limited even for lunch.will think twice before returning

We thoroughly enjoyed our food - me vegan- my husband, macaroni cheese. All cooked fresh and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be visiting again. The staff were really courteous and friendly, the pub was immaculately clean. It's a ten out of ten from me.

Amazing lunch,food very well presented.staff member very helpful.on the spur as family arrived unexpectedly and were also very impressed

This was my first time back to my local pub for some time as heard it was under new management so wanted to give it another go after some past disappointing meals. We had a selection of the small plates and I am so pleased...

Amazing. Reopen with the best if staff. Great drinks and amazing food. The garden is perfect for kids

Popped in after a wine tasting on a Thursday. Decided to try the 'small plates' as it would give us an idea of how good/ bad it was going to be. Not disappointed! Very impressed,lots to choose from,my fav was the Bao buns,my husband loved...

What fantastic food, the Small Bit menus is wonderful. The belly of pork and the Duck bows were amazing. Great food and great service, Its should be the we should make it the new place to eat in Alton.

We visited The George today for a family roast dinner. Firstly the staff were welcoming, friendly and attentive. Checking in regularly to see if we were ok and making sure the little members of the family were happy. Great choice of wine, beer and soft...

Amazing food. I had the Beef Guinness stew, it was incredible. Will be going back for more ASAP.....

Best Sunday lunch I have eaten since I don't remember when, served by genuinely sincere staff (how refreshing). Not over priced, unlike so many of the restaurants around Winchester/Alresford/Alton. Definitely recommended, I shall be back again!

Excellent Sunday lunch for 4.Beef and pork cooked to perfection and great selection of vegetables with extra gravy.The young man who served us at the bar ,took our order and delivered our lunch was very attentive.Friendly bar and will return.

Simply the best, better than all the rest.... Food great, staff awesome, atmosphere superb. What more could one ask for?

As I have visited regularly, and made many good friends, the meals are fantastic and also the service, please keep up the good work, for many years to come, my love and best wishes go with you all. God bless, and may peace be with...

A choice of veggie meals, I had celeriac steak and roast spuds, with cauliflower cheese and vegetables. After a long journey this was like heaven. Lovely decor, friendly staff and a great atmosphere, thank you.

Our food arrived stone cold. Waitress bought out a portion of chips and when my replacement meal came out no chips, which I questioned. Chef came out and questioned me!

From the outside this looks like a somewhat shabby drinkers' pub. Inside it is an eclectic mixture of vintage and antique, including an upright piano and an organ! I called in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The "chef's recipe southern fried chicken" was served...

Strangely, we struggled to find a pub we liked in Alton, several majored on cheap drinks and Sky sports and there’s a very big Spoons but the George seems the best of the bunch and certainly we were quite happy there. The small garden is...

My first Trip advisor postI' So a newby I'd seen on a coeliac site that this pub in Alton has a gluten free kitchen. My partner is coeliac and we rarely go out as he can't afford to be ill. I'm vegan, So passing through...

Really lovely Sunday lunch. Great meat and vegetables were really well cooked. Will definitely eat here again

Amazing pub, we visit often with family and the service is great, always friendly and the lunch was beautifully cooked, very tasty and fantastic value for money!

This was the first time we have been to The George Pub as it was recommended by a friend and I have to say, we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and had clearly been home made. We both had the Sharing Camembert to...

First trip here and it wasn't a pleasant experience. What I assume were senior staff were generally rude and we heard them say 'why can't people just close the door!?' When customers left. Not a great way to speak about paying customers. Staff were sitting...

36 minutes agoNEW I don’t normally review pubs online ever . But this really did bother me I was Drinking in the George pub ALTON tonight with friends and family, my dad and his friends all in their 60s /70s enjoying a few beers and...

Sadly I liked The George pub, I have eaten there many times before and to be honest the food has been good. They do a lovely baked Camembert and fish and chips! Anyway sadly on my visit today, I was served raw chicken, this was...

We recently had Sunday lunch at the George. Absolutely no complaints, the food was spot on. The best of the best though was the cauliflower and leek cheese, and the gravy, so tasty. Will definitely be back. The staff were helpful, welcoming and professional, the...

Excellent refurbishment, wonderful to have such a variety of gluten free options; other diners with me said taste excellent. Well done we will be back

We stopped in the pub for lunch just as they were about to have a refit so they were very apologetic about the limited menu but we had a very good meal even so. They were clued up on allergens and had extensive gluten free...

We visited The George between Christmas and New Year for dinner, and were not disappointed. I find it hard to eat out gluten-free, but the whole menu is gluten-free and the fish and chips was delicious. The wine was good and the service was great....

After a long journey back to Alton passed the George, looked really inviting so decided to give it a go……we weren’t disappointed, lovely atmosphere, friendly helpful staff & great food…..what’s not to like!!! Will definitely be back, thanks guys!!

Jess and her family have recently taken over the George. The food is superb value for money tasty well presented and friendly staff. The fish and chips was wonderfully fresh tasty and lots of it. Sadly no room for dessert. We will be back.

Called in on Saturday night and even though we hadn’t booked we were quickly found a table. Staff are attentive and the service was excellent. We started with a sharing Camembert, always a winner. I followed with the most incredible dish. Skate, samphire, sea urchin...

Last night a friend and I called in for a table. Even though we hadn’t book we were welcomed and seated. The food was some of the best I have had. Never had sea urchin before but the combination of that with skate, samphire and...

Staff were LOVELY, the owners are extremely welcoming and friendly. The food was fantastic and came very quickly and I can't stress enough how tasty it was. This is also my new local and the BEST in Alton. If I could rate higher I would!...

Brilliant lunch at the weekend with family friends. Excellent value for your money and very tasty (between us we tried most of the menu haha). Nice and busy but not crowded nice relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend

I visited The George last wednesday evening with 2 friends the service was first class and Hazel who took our order was very accommodating, myself and a friend ordered the Wild Boar Casserole which melted in your mouth and the peanut cookie dough which was...

Lunch menu very limited very few things below £13. Due to lack of choice had the Lamb croquette. It was served as 2 croquettes with half a cherry tomato and a single very small green leaf. There was a line of what looked like mayo...

Having been closed through the troubles , the new owners are very keen. Seven of us had Sunday lunch and everything was top notch. I'm sure that once word gets around it will be rammed again like it used to ne.

We visited for Sunday lunch. It was really tasty food and excellent service, including a takeaway box when the cheese and biscuits defeated my wife!

Really tasty Barnsley lamb chop. Really tender and an added bonus grazed on fields just up the road. The steak was also v tasty. Service was good and friendly.

Really nice to find a coeliac friendly, local pub. Great service and great food. I would recommend to anyone looking for dinner/drinks in the alton area.

My daughter and I had lunch at The George on Friday. As two coeliacs it was just lovely to be able to choose whatever we wanted from the menu, with complete confidence. The menu had a delicious range of interesting things as well as staples...

Had a fab meal last night, food was very tasty. Service was great from Ian and Grace. Will definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon. Good luck its so nice to have our local back.

Having had a few beers with my sister, we decided that we needed something to eat. Having batted around some ideas of the alternative eateries in alton, decided that we would go to the george (we had some awesome parmeasan and truffle chips their prior...

Great new chef, Cola chicken wings were awesome and an amazing choice of beers. Beer garden is huge with a lot of space as well

Organised a works night out, there were 10 of us in the garden, all of us eating and drinking. Staff were exceptional, very attentive and helpful. Food delicious, fresh and well presented. Cola chicken wings were delicious. Others had burgers which they raved about.

I enjoyed my lunch here very much. It seems to be totally gluten free but please check. That was important for one of my friends. The menu is not extensive which in my opinion is a plus. The decor is simple which again in my...

just come back from the Flying Scotsman visit over at Ropley, stopped at the George with my wife and parents for dinner (Sat Night). It's a quirky little place with a very homely feel to it. Good selection of local ales on tap at the...

Went there on Wednesday evening.. the owner Jeson and his team very friendly .. place is perfect for friends gathering. And atmosphere is amazing .. Glad to find a good local pub in Alton

First time there today and it has a really nice feel to it. Good menu choice and the fish finger sandwich and tapas we had were great. Family friendly but with good beer and ale choices too. Will definitely be heading back.

Had dinner last Friday- very busy and staff under pressure but Excellent Food and great service from the staff - we will return

Good selection of beers. Barely 30 covers when we sat down and ordered and most of the restaurant had food. No one advised there would be a wait on food when we came into the pub or when we ordered. We waited an hour to...

The George is probably the best pub in Alton: the beer's great, the food is good (nice vegetarian and vegan options), there's always a happy atmosphere; the proprietors are also very supportive of the local community, which is much appreciated. The only bad thing about...

I only visit here once a year but there are always good beers available which is why I return. They also have a fantastic model (and a model of the model) of the pub although the ducks are flying in the wrong direction.

Spent a Friday night at The George during our weekend in Alton. Best pub in the high street by miles! Enjoyed the atmosphere so much (two female singers playing keyboard and guitar were a delight) we decided to stay longer and eat. I had the...

Went in to the George last night for a few drinks and it was a proper pub love the decor lots of hidden corners live music food smelt amazing all staff so friendly will be going on for food next time I’m down

We went there for Sunday lunch to meet up with family. It was a half way point between both our houses. Would highly recommend this pub/restaurant. The food was exceptional we enjoyed a lovely roast beef with fresh homemade Yorkshire puddings and a homemade chicken...

What has happened to food at The George? What used to be an interesting menu is now just dull. Ate with a friend last week and my buttermilk chicken was tasteless. Such a shame as it used to be so reliable.

Thank you team George for a really great experience on a very busy Friday evening! We were a party of eight and all had different and had such good service from Rachel and all served hot and together and delicious!! Well done, we all enjoyed...

went out for a meal with some clients, Dave was really friendly and when my partner had a headache he went out back and got her some paracetamol and a glass of water. overall lovely food and great staff.

Used to be our date night location......great beer and great food..........then the food changed. Beef/chilli/vegan, those are the choices now, which is great if you eat beef, chilli or are a vegan.........for the rest of us, not so great anymore. Anyway, we still enjoy a...

We went here in a party of 4 on a Sunday after visiting a shooting range, food was delicious and the beer/ale choice was great too. Pies are made locally and you could tell the difference between other pubs and this one... no microwave dings...

Lunch for four three of us had the locally made mistrust steak and ale pies which were very good full of flavour and good shortcrust pastry. The burger was also excellent the thick cut chips were really scrumptious. Service was very good.

Second visit and food and beer is excellent again and good value imo. Service is friendly,welcoming and place has a good vibe and mix of people. Highly recommended if you’re from out of town looking for good food and beer and not sure where to...

Absolutely amazing establishment, service was perfect, food was amazing. The toilet set up was brilliant and the staff were super kind and caring. I run All Animal Rescue Southampton and had a little orphan bunny with me that requires had feeding and they were more...

Lovely meal.Flowers on the table.The toilets were clean and a baby changing mat was provided.Highly recommended.

When visiting this public house with friends recently, we found that the food was enjoyable and up to their usual standard. However we were disappointed in the quality of service, on this visit, as this was not up to their usual standard which is usually...

Knowing how busy The George gets I booked a table for my wife and me. She had the sea bass and I had a rib eye steak. Both cooked perfectly - my steak was medium-rare - just as I had asked which is not always...

Had an amazing fish lunch at the George recently with an excellent glass of wine, superb, thank you to Suzy and her team :)

Great little pub with great food. Interesting decor and lovely staff all in all a great lunch. Specials change daily.

Main course was very tasty as usual and arrived quicker than before probably because the place was less than half full. The pudding of mixed berries crumble took ages (probably through forgetfulness) and turned out to be apple crumble! Allowing dogs is fine but they...

Brilliant first visit, so much so we went back the next night for the live music, We were made to feel special. The menu and specials were all very tempting and varied. Lots of fish dishes available. The service was excellent, but casual.

We and two friends enjoyed another fabulous 'Fish Friday' meal last night. It has really become a highlight of the week and last night between us we had the sea bream and gurnard and both were absolutely superb. Despite the fact that the pub was...

Very enjoyable first visit. We were met by happy people and made to feel welcome. The menu and specials were all very tempting and varied. Lots of fish dishes available. The service was excellent, but casual. Chips with my burger, Wow! The best I've ever...

Great pub, welcoming and attentive service. Lovely menu and the food is good quality. Good value for money.

We arrived at 8pm and the first two courses were OK, not great, not bad either. The staff then forgot about us - in fact came nowhere near us - until we went to the bar an hour later, to be told the kitchen closed...

I visited the George around 2 weeks ago for a Christmas meal with a party of 20 and had a fantastic time. We've visited several times before and have always found the food good and the staff outstanding. This occasion was no exception as they...
