The George in Tunbridge Wells

Great place, traditional pub, fire places and low beams, friendly staff. but…..unfortunately like a lot of pubs now, it appears that you have to book a table, No more just popping out for a swift one. Walked in on Friday around 5pm for some well deserved drinks, only to find that literally all the tables were booked for 5:30. So standing room only. Managed to grab 2 stools by the bar but felt we were in the way. So We quickly finished our wines and proceeded to Fuggles. We do love this place though and we will be back but just a bit disappointed that we can’t just pop in 🥲 and might have to book to just have a drink

Lovely pub, with great service and atmosphere, every one very friendly, if only the chairs were more comfortable, there is a couple of sofas but they had been reserved, maybe next time, I'll definitely be back.

Best pub in Tunbridge wells, love it. Conveniently on my walk home from work so often means a 2 minute walk home takes 4 hours, what a shame :-) every single member of staff are brilliant and so friendly. Great for a quick pint or a session and the food is delicious.

Popped in on my own with my two dogs. Friendly staff and comfortable atmosphere. Excellent beer too. Lovely that my dogs were so welcomed too and given water, treats and attention. Thanks

Sunday roast dinner is always a treat at The George. Friendly, efficient service. Relaxed bar atmosphere.

Lovely pub, great food too! Very decent choice of drinks 👏

Nice place. Good beer and good service

Good Food and great Real Ale (brewed very locally). Recommend.

Great staff, great place. Fantastic selection of beers and ales.

Great roast dinner and well kept beer.

Visited on a very, very wet Bank Holiday Monday so there were few other patrons. Great ale list, over a dozen to choose from. Unfortunately wrong time of year for stouts, so chose a Fonthill Best which I enjoyed. Though quiet the pub had a nice feel, old and a little quirky being on a hill. Hope to try some of the other ales, another time.

Only ever had drinks.. Great selection with fonthill brewery next door.

Great Pub - Great Choice of Beers. Would have been 5 stars if I could have easily found a seat... which says it all !

Lovely pub, great selection of beers, excellent service would recommend

The George has a niche, predominantly middle age men, some of whom seem a little lost! I think the pub serves a purpose, particularly midweek for this demographic. Weekends are more vibrant, as there is generally music on.

My go to pub in Tunbridge Wells, tons of beers & everyone's made to feel like a local

Best pub in Tunbridge Wells fantastic staff, Orange Circus band were superb and low alcohol beer on draft...

Had a gathering for my son's 30th. We were made to feel so comfortable and everything just happend so simply. Very welcoming. Will be back.

I moved to the village a few months ago and I am so glad The George is my local, Such a warm and charming pub, the food is amazing every time and the atmosphere is alway so welcoming. The staff and service they provide are excellent and so accommodating , they have regularly events with live music. best of all they are very dog friendly, dog biscuits and water bowls at hand (obviously “paws on floors” policy as they serve food). Highly recommended a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

Had a very tasty lunch, next to a lovely warm fire.

Nice pub with a lovely atmosphere 👌

Good Atmosphere for a Saturday night and a cosy pub like it used to be now that it's got the regenal name back The George. Drinks are reasonable price compared to to other pubs

Honestly, one of the friendliest, most vibrant, pubs you could ever wish to visit! Fantastic variety of beers, wonderful food prepared with love and an unflinchingly friendly bar staff. If you're in Tunbridge Wells, put it on your 'must visit' list. Sunday lunch is especially superb!

I booked an area of the pub for a school parents' Xmas party. The food was fantastic and plentiful, beers etc awesome, the staff were v v helpful. Thanks to Chloe for setting it all up.

Went for Sunday roast. Food was great, the service also. Very pleasant place on a rainy day.

Old school pub with a well-done modern, micro brewery vibe. The selection and quality of the beers is simply astounding. I didn't eat but If they pay the same attention to the food, as they do the beer, I can only imagine that's great too

Lovely friend warm atmosphere here. There are board games lying around too. Good fun.

Proper pub with good choice of beers, and affordable macaroni menu.

Staff fabulously friendly. Great sense of humour across the board. The Fonthill brewery beer is brilliant as well. My new favourite pub.

A lovely village Pub and has been so for the last 65 year that I have been going to it.

The place has a good selection of well known and less well known drinks on offer. The staff were friendly and helpful didn't have to wait too long to be served.

Big pub, lots of space, dog friendly, board games, two outside spaces, incredible beer selection, really lovely service.

It's probably the best pub in tunbridge wells, great selection of things to drink. Food is very good. The team there are always helpful and friendly.

Brilliant beers and a nice beer garden in the summer.

Awesome pub! Great taps of beer, gluten free beer, and coder. Lovely staff, best bathroom I’ve seen in a pub! Amazing “dog tap” of water outside. Gluten free vegan grub. Gorgeous outdoor area. Really fantastic.

It's a good night to have there

To have one of three best pubs in Tunbridge Wells on your doorstep is nothing short of a blessing. Theres always a great selection of beers, decent food and wonderful ambiance. The Sunday afternoon and Monday evening come is to be treasured.

Food brilliant nice friendly staff

Good food, good selection. Reasonably priced. Very loud and fabulous group of musicians.

Very cold feeling pub, not a great food menu, beer is ok, one other drawback for older people and anyone with disabilitys, toilets down a winding staircase with low roof, quite dodgy, as I'm 6"5' myself😭

Stopped for a drink here and sat in the garden which was really nice on Easter weekend. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere.

Great atmosphere….. lovely roast dinner …. Very good service We did not book but took a chance and we’re made very welcome.

Warm and friendly atmosphere with a great bar snacks menu and an exceptionally good selection of Gin & Ale. A proper modern pub without pretensions

Great pub just at the top end of the town centre... If you're a fan of cask ales and beers this place has a varied range on offer so there's bound to be one that suits! Food is great and varies everytime I pop in (gets quite book up on weekends for lunch so would recommend booking in advance)... Lovely polite and attentive staff all in a relaxed atmosphere... Well worth a visit!

Absolutely love this place, my favourite pub in Tunbridge Wells. Amazing range of locally brewed ales, ciders as well as gins and wines. Food is really good quality and decently priced, cosy vibe. Amazing staff!

Lovely place with very good range of freshly cooked food and excellent beer - some of which they brew on-site. Make sure you check out the Fonthill Tap Room (hosted by The Gin Box) located at the tap room in The George's car park in the outbuildings (where they brew their beers) 2 really nice fellas and really great selection of Gins.

I like this pub. Good pub food and a good atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere, great staff, flew back from Utah and it made me feel right at home.

Went for lunch here today for a work Christmas party and it was absolutely wonderful. The food was delicious, the best veggie roast I've had in years! Everyone said their meal was amazing and the service was excellent. The staff couldn't do enough for us- super accomodating, friendly, well and organised. AND it was really reasonably priced for the quality and amount of food. If I could give them ten stars I would! Thanks everyone at the George x

Great selection of beers ales and ciders with a lovely outdoor seating area with heaters!!

Emily has been an amazing server, so polite and friendly, would defo recommend the George staff are lovely !

Lovely lunch. Table of 6 - most of us had burgers... very tasty! Dog friendly and very welcoming staff. Great selection of beers and gins available.

It’s been a couple years or more since I visited the George. The old style pub is what I remembered, and this remains, fortunately. The Fonthill brewery next to it is new, to me, but Mark, behind the bar said it has been going a while but has expanded. My companion, Suzie, drank Guinness as usual, whereas I tried the Long Man Best, which I quite liked. We stayed for a second round, and I sampled the Long Man IPA, and, at 5.2%, it was stronger but was probably the best IPA I’ve had. I’d recommend this pub, not just for the 8 draught ale taps, numerous keg taps, but the staff are chatty and knowledgeable as well. Oh, and if it’s your first visit, don’t forget to ask for a free beer card! After 9 pints, you get a free pint. Not just at the George, but at the Sussex Arms and Ragged Trousers. Just remember to get the card stamped when ordered.

Another wonderful little pub associated with the Fonthill brewery next door. They had a very wide range of ales and keg beers and the fantastically friendly staff are happy to help you with your selection. Plenty of seating available inside plus a sizeable beer garden down stairs out the back. The Guinness was excellent as was the Long Man Best Bitter (which is comparable to the Harvey's Sussex Best.

Amazing pub with fantastic Sunday roasts

Great service, good outdoor space and comfortable vibe. A solid local choice :).

Lovely lovely pub, staff are amazing. Food is wonderful, drinks are great. All round, great pub.

First visit, pleasant interior friendly staff and a good choice of drinks. Menu looked good as well.

Great pub, great food, great drinks, what more do you need?

Beer not as good as we expected.Friendly staff,nice environment.

Decent bar with a good outside space

Fantastic service, food was excellent. Looking forward to visiting again

Wonderfully friendly staff. Great beers. Lovely ambience.

Outside garden is a fantastic space great for a beer garden day! Food was also great.

Gorgeous historic surroundings and excellent bar staff. We really enjoyed our visit here.

So glad I was guided to here lovely place for a drink and a chat

Great pub ,friendly chilled, super local just behind me

We used to visit this place 30 years ago. It changed its name, now gone back. Great to take s trip down memory lane.

Lovely staff who are always really accommodating, excellent location and delicious beers on tap.

Fantastic and friendly staff. Only recently started enjoying the beer garden due to friends living locally. Highly recommend.

Lovely nice staff and the garden is really nice did"nt eat but the food looks great. Very friendly.

Very nice pub as is the welcome!!! Have a great time enjoying a beer in a small garden terrace!

Great pub near the centre of Tunbridge Wells. Quality selection of beer, ciders and spirits available as well as an extensive lunch, dinner and snack menu. Always worth a visit for drinks or a meal.

Wonderful vibes lovely staff and excellent beers

Insensitive management. Insisted my 16 year old son to leave at 9pm due to 'license' while celebrating anniversary of a passing. Believe the 'license' rule is discretionary..... Shame on you!!!!

Great food, great beer and super service.

Been going here a while and thought time for review. It is just such a nice and easy going place. Staff always friendly and helpful, inside and outside spaces relaxing and dog friendly, decent menu and chef happy to offer some fries or a snack off menu when time allows to go with the numerous drink options. Just a great place!

We found this pub by accident whilst visiting this weekend. We had a George Burger for dinner and it was lovely. The staff were really friendly and we had a very pleasant evening. It’s so nice to find a rare ‘proper’ pub. My husband had a good pint of real ale and I had a Koko Kano, all reasonable priced.

Nice atmosphere and good beer - however after ordering the vegan nachos, eating them and then finding out they have sour cream and cheddar cheese on them, i don't think I'll be heading back for food. Luckily I don't have an allergy, staff training is needed if they want to avoid putting their customers in hospital, or worse! Update on my previous post, popped in today and last week, such a great pub. Great selection of drinks, nice atmosphere and the staff are very friendly.

For Mark. I didn't actually go into the restaurant or order any food, but while they were cleaning up and/or shutting down for the day, I saw a man cleaning up the outside tables. I asked him if he had a light, and while he didn't smoke he went back into the bar to check if he had one and brought one out for me. If that isn't stellar customer service, I don't know what is. I'm not sure what role he's in at the current moment but he deserves a raise, or at the very least, a very good holiday. Thank you very much mark, I know this probably won't mean much from one guy, but for what it's worth, Than k you. Jack

Having been through few changes and dodgy times over the years, this to my mind is and has been for last few years the best pub in town area Really nice and cozy, great choice real ales and lagers and excellent snack style menu at reasonable prices. At moment open all day Fridays to Sundays otherwise from 4pm.

Very nice staff. Good beer. But no kitchen on Tuesdays....

We moved to Tunbridge Wells a few months ago and The George has fast become our go-to local which is in large part down to how wonderful the staff are. They are utterly lovely with our young puppy who is overly friendly and still learning how to behave in pubs! Always making a fuss of her, making sure she has clean water to drink and even a treat! The George feels like a non-intimidating proper traditional local with a changing beer list that feels more like going to a craft beer place rather than just paying pub prices for the same old stuff you’d buy in the supermarket (bonus points that the staff have always been happy to let us taste test if we’ve not been sure about committing to a pint of something we haven’t tried before!). Tasty and good value Sunday roast too. We’ve brought lots of different friends here when they’ve come to visit us and everyone’s had a great time. Oh, and there’s a beautiful beer garden covered in fairy light out the back as well.

Tasty enough roast but expensive at £16 and not as much food as I would expect for that price!

It is OK for a pub. As I saw it is dogfriendly place. For me was only let down they didn't serve coffee.

Great venue with very friendly and helpful staffs

We visited The George on Friday, late afternoon, to meet friends. On the website, the price of the French Sauvignon Blanc is 17 pounds and the New Zealand is 19.50. When we ordered the NZ bottle were told it was 25, but after checking our bank statement were charged 29 pounds!! This is truly extortionate. Our friends ordered the same bottle, and again were charged this huge amount, without checking what was on the card reader. So, 2 bottles of wine, and a pint of beer came to 62 pounds! You would pay less in an upmarket London wine bar! We will certainly not be returning, to be fleeced like that again.

Visited on Sunday evening for a family roast - great food and super friendly service - we will definitely come again

Only the 2nd time at The George. Thanks for such a great evening. Party food was so lovely. All home made. The staff are exceptional, obviously well looked after and respected. Great choice of beers and wine. Yes, I would recommend The George.

We went here for drinks. Nice place and very accommodating! Would be nice to try the food here

Lovely secret garden. Great drink choice

I do not expect to go to a pub for lunch with colleagues from the office to thank for their efforts over the last year or so and have to eat burgers out of a paper bag with no knife and fork or any other condiments , burger wrapped in foil, cold ., messy and have to wait over 20 minutes for it. It would have been better using a McDonald's drove through.. The beers alright though.

Good choice of beers, ciders and other drinks, friendly team and really nice outside space

Nice environment for a drink with mates

One of my favourite local coffee shops and was a real highlight of my the first few months this year

Great place, really relaxed atmosphere and friendly crowd.

Great drinks. The whole place smells of overcooked oil. Don't be cheap. Change your oil.

The George is our local and we've spent several pleasant evenings there pre-Covid. Last night, after watching some cricket, we thought we'd pop in there for something to eat on our way home. We didn't realise that this would be impossible due to the fact that we were accompanied by my 15 year old daughter. The waitress mentioned something about the licence which meant she couldn't serve us. We left, and won't be coming back. I fail to understand the common sense in these restrictions. There are, luckily for us, plenty of other more family-friendly venues in Tun Wells.

Pleasant garden and efficient and friendly service
