The George in Maidstone

Perfect - and such a wide choice on the menu - we will be back (this was our second recent visit anyway)

Drinks are a lot more expensive compared to others in the area

For a while the George lost its way. Now it is back with a very friendly and laid back "sports bar" vibe which we as a a family love!

Great place for pint and friendly staff, Plus it now has Timothy Taylors Landlord ale on tap.

Service and setting were good. Outside seating for a hot day! Drinks were good. Decent menu. Food was adequate.

Friendly, pleasant staff, food excellent.

Fantastic pub, has a really nice atmosphere and the food is top quality. Amongst our group people chose the Sunday roast, the George burger and a few side dishes and everything was cooked to perfection. The staff here are brilliant, always happy to help with a constant smile on their faces. The photo attached is just one of the Sunday roasts delivered to our table. The pub has good parking behind it, next to a huge outdoor green space with tables so it's a perfect summertime pub. Will definitely be making more visits.

So the beer is ok but a bit pricey. The food is great and well worth the long wait.

Attentive staff and good atmosphere

Amazing food and friendly service

Sat out in the courtyard on a Saturday for lunch. Great food and great staff. Would definitely come again if we’re ever in the area.

Good food, clean and tidy, friendly staff

Friendly, burger was good. Easy parking.

Come here for a couple of drinks with my friend. Absolutely lovely place. Very friendly and relaxing.

What a great place, picked at random for lunch with friends and not disappointed by our choice. Friendly and welcoming, with staff who could not do enough for you. Even the chef, who had great sense of humour, put in an appearance to check on customer satisfaction. Great choice of menu, very reasonably priced with premium quality food which could not be faulted. Would definitely visit again and happy to recommend to anyone.

Great beer, welcoming staff and great food definitely will revisite.

Friendly place, food is awesome

Children's equipment and large garden and car park is attractive for a quick stop. Just ordered drinks.

Good takeaway menu reasonably priced and good sized portions

What a lovely place. Food and staff fantastic. Highly recommend the "Italian job" for two people sharing.

Excellent beer and very friendly atmosphere. Choice of tables inside, in courtyard or large child-friendly beer garden.

Absolutely love it in here. Owners are charming and the pizza (coming from an Italian) are to die for! Can’t recommend highly enough! Can’t wait for them to open again!

As we were in lock down I ordered a delivery of fish and chips. Wow! fresh cod,lovely chips,mushy peas and tartar sauce. The free delivery was on time and the food was delicious. Huge portions and a fair price.

Lovely little pub in the heart of Yalding. Food is good, there's a paved beer garden, and a children's play area nearby.

So friendly and food was wonderful, lovely real fire, gem of a pub. All restrictions adhered to making us confident to be there in the current environment

Fantastic food and service,Pizza and ribs top marks, It's just sad we only found this place on our last night of our stay.

We ate here this evening and the service was so friendly and accommodating. They bought water for our dog, went out of their way to cater for our vegan daughter and the food was amazing. We were expecting pub food but got exceptional service and fine dining quality food. Thank you George staff and compliments to your amazing chef.

Good pub food and beer. Pleasant service. Outdoor space with social distancing.

Great location and absolutely lovely staff and owner! However the only problem I had was the food I ordered wasn't very good, I ordered a pizza and it was undercooked, greasy and the toppings just fell of as soon as I lifted a slice up! But I've been here before and the other food has been good!

Absolutely fantastic, first class service and food was faultless,prices very reasonable, Will be back soon.

They are back as a pizza restaurant with an extended menu and it is bloody good great food and welcoming as ever

Take away pizza the George is boing a brilliant job not only the best pizza in town (the town is pretty small) I would go as far as the best in Kent. Good price great quality Thank you

Excellent food, service and very friendly staff!

We popped in here today on the strength of the previous Tripadvisor reviews. VERY disappointed. The starters were very good. I had the Bruschetta with parma ham, and my wife had the mushrooms in a cream sauce. The salted bread that came with the mushrooms was pretty much inedible though because of the sheer amount of salt on it. The cod is a piece of drab, frozen fish in a pre-cut shape with a thin batter on it. Peas were frozen, as were the chips, despite them being described as hand made. I had the burger, which was as normal a burger as any I have ever tasted. Once again, frozen skinny chips and a very vinegary, bought by the gallon coleslaw. I would never go back, even if it meant going hungry. Although I must say that I did enjoy the bruschetta.

The service was great as it always is and friendly place to go with all the family and the staff cannot be more attentive to you

Plenty of choice of beers, good food, helpful friendly staff

First visit ever to this pub for a Family Birthday lunch in the middle of December. The service was very good, as were the food and Real Ales! Would definitely go back.

At the George, you're not a customer, you are family. Great landlords and staff who have created a warm and caring community. The food is excellent and every visit feels like coming home.

Great family ran pub, good food and a nice drinks selection. Large car park and play field for kids. Kids are welcome in the pub too

Very accomadating and great food

Large outside area very friendly good food

Very very very friendly staff helpful and informative fantastic food and service was excellent

Nice to see a local pub doing well. The real ales are well kept. The staff are very wefriendly and the pub has a nice village feel to it. Great landlord & landlady. Highly recommended 🍺🍺

A fabulous, family run and family friendly pub with excellent beer and food and a beautiful outside space.

Very nice welcome dog friendly my westie loved it food great and a lot of it I'll be back 🤣🤣👍

A truly friendly family pub great food really friendly staff, we eat here every week and always the food is great

Nice to see a local pub doing well. The real ales are well kept. The staff are very friendly and the pub has a nice village feel to it. Great landlord & landlady. Highly recommended 🍺🍺

My first visit for a late lunch on Sunday with family. Really good scampi and chips with a nice pint. Would definitely recommend. Next time I hope to try mussels which looked good ( best to pre order if you want fresh as apposed to frozen). Friendly helpful staff.

Good food and a great Sunday roast would recommend it a nice area for children to play in Tony'@ July put on entertainment in the summer

Amazing local pub, great service!

Had a great time at the george! Staff really friendly and food is really good!

Had a lovely, reasonably meal here. We just spotted pub and went in. Polite staff.

Amazing food, really friendly staff, good ice cold beer with a massive garden next to the river 😎

The George marks an impressive sight with its prime location between Yardlng’s High street and its scenic waterside bridge. The gated entrance to the veranda is filled with people deliberating the days events while taking a gasp on cigarettes. Once inside you are met with a space for the sports stars to shine on the darts ockey. It does initially have that sports lounge feel to it mixed into its historic underpinnings. As I rounded the corner to the “restaurant”, a grouping of tables, I was met by the specials board and the expansive menu. Pizza is one of the pubs specials, which is echoed in the adverts decorating the pub’s exterior. I went for something a little lighter, salad and pasta. It’s value pub grub and decently portioned. It won’t set the heart and taste buds alight. It is bloody good value for money. The cheapest 2 courses I’ve had at a shade under £17.

Very good service here. The food is lovely here as well

great value and very friendly staff - excellent service - would go back again had a groupon voucher - loved the deserts too

Apple pie and custard was lovely, cod and chips not so good. Fish itself was good, batter was very thick and soft! The chips were very small (like the ones left in the bottom of the bag)

Great friendly village pub, made welcome. Food smelt great but haven't tried..yet!next time I hope!x

Quick friendly service. Good food. Lovely meals. Ample portions.

Lovely cosy pub. Didn't want to leave

Good beer, excellent food, and a warm welcome.

This was our third visit to the George and every time it’s been top food and service all reasonably priced, very good for families, the menu has a great range of options and the portions are big, even the kids meals are big!, All the staff here are very friendly and helpful and there’s a nice atmosphere in the pub. Will definitely be revisiting.

Really nice friendly pub serving excellent beer and good wholesome food. Don't expect a gastro pub - but do expect a warm welcome and good size portions of good English food. Was a bit noisy when we visited - probably as we chose to turn up during a football match - but they still managed to find us a quiet table. Best pub in Yalding by some distance.

I frequently visit this pub and can assure you that you will love it.

My wife and I went to The George with a Groupon voucher, with our daughter and dog in tow. The staff and the locals were really friendly and the food was great. Huge choice and big portions. Even if we hadn't used a Groupon voucher the prices were very reasonable for both food and drink. The interior is understated, and... er... a pub! If you want pretentious overpriced food with a false "ambience" you'll be disappointed. If you want a friendly place with good food and good prices you will be very pleased. I only wish I'd discovered it sooner so we could have enjoyed a meal outside overlooking the river in the sunny weather! We'll be back

Great music venue, have played there many times in The Mystery Machine. Friendly atmosphere, food looks great, nice outside space for smokers/vapers and an adjacent garden, parking to the rear. Oh, and they sell my favourite Cornish beer, Doombar. 😀. What more do you want?

Lovely place and lovely people xx

This place is great and the staff are excellent the food is brill

Good old fashioned pub grub. Large portions and staff really friendly. Well worth a visit as not many pubs like this left.

Welcoming and friendly as ever 👍

Cold beer nice service chilled atmosphere

Great local pub excellent food. Locals made you feel welcome.

Community-orientated family-run business. Staff and owners are always friendly and welcoming. Good beer on tap and decent grub too. Thumbs up to The George!!!

Everytime we visit, we have a relaxing time, staff friendly, locals will actually be friendly and chat, never any bad vibes here. Fantastic music played, wonderful, peaceful garden, nice decor, clean toilet, don't mind if you are too ill to consume alcohol or food, so sorry can't review the food, although a couple opposite seemed to really enjoy their pizza, the fish and chips looked good too. Atmosphere almost like being on holiday abroad, relaxing, friendly, but full of life. Don't mind serving soft drinks.

Lovely pub, advertising a local music festival coming up, The Vicar's Picnic. Music. So, got to love 2 people at the bar who complained about Siouxsie and the Banshees on the jukebox, and had it switched off whilst watching the stuff on their phones, loudly, disturbing me, something about car crashing. Really funny. As said, terrific pub, lovely staff, great beer, picturesque gardens. Shame about some of the clientele.

Lovely staff, very helpful, food good, perfect setting, especially in summer, one little gripe, a bit more salad with dry food, would be good .

Lovelly staff reasonably quick service great food. . . Will definitely go there again and again

Went on a groupon offer, and I must say it was a most enjoyable evening. A very warm reception and great waiting staff. We were shown to our table and drinks order was taken immediately and drinks delivered timely whilst we looked at the menu. The food was well cooked and very good portions. Great atmosphere and well run pub. I would highly recommend and will be returning soon.

Good atmosphere nice pizzas and large beer garden

Went last night for my birthday 8 of us it’s was a lovely pub and the waitress was amazing bless her the food was lovely until I found a hair in my burger not a massive deal showed the waitress who offered me a new one which I accepted but then the manager came out and was so rude and called me a liar saying they couldn’t see a hair! As far as I was concerned there was not a problem the waitress offered me a fresh burger it was dealt with but no the manager made it 10x worse because when my fresh burger came out I felt so uncomfortable I couldn’t even eat it! After about 30 mins she finally came over again and apologised as she didn’t realise it was my birthday and offered Me a free drink but it put me off going back as she was so rude to start with and made me think so if it wasn’t my birthday she wouldn’t have apologised

Me and my partner booked this restaurant via Groupon, we bought it and as stipulated by Groupon and the George we then booked it through their online system, easy, booked, and ready to go

A very beautiful place to be but the staff are unable to cope with the pressure of customer turnover and start becoming rude in reply’s and the hospitality totally runs out of the Backdoor.

Had a lovely meal, great value lovely presentation. Friendly polite service. Went on a Groupon voucher. Will certainly go again and tell friends too

Amazing, beautiful outdoor areas and lovely atmosphere.

Can't fault a pub that has live music!

Great food, great staff and a great atmosphere. What more could you ask

4 of us visited the George on 3 occasions while on a week away in Yalding, Kent. We recived good bar service, the drinks were reasonably priced and there was plenty of places to sit, including in the large outside garden.

Great food in a lovely surrounding.

We went to 'The George' on a 'Groupon' voucher for lunch. It was absolutely superb! It was a lovely sunny day and as we had our dog with us we sat in the garden. My Husband had the Sirloin steak, egg and chips and I had the George chicken and bacon salad. We were both bowled over by the size of the portions! we were not disappointed by the quality of the food, it was lovely. The Landlady (we think she was, apologizes if not!) is very nice and friendly as was the man behind the bar. We had a relaxing lunch in nice surroundings with gorgeous food. What more could you want on a BH weekend? We will definitely be back and also recommend to friends. Thank you.

Lunch with friends. We all had a fish dish and they were all lovely. Battered haddock and Dover sole especially. Larger portions much better than last time. Still a bit pricey.

Excellent friendly service and a great tomahawk steak

Visited today with my mum for lunch. Lovely food, great service. Well done to the staff, very friendly even let me use their telephone! Will definitely be returning :)

Fantastic food. Great service. Dogs allowed

I was taken to the George by a local couple.It is a very straight forward,unpretentious place and most of the menu looks the same. But at weekends there is fresh fish cooked in a variety of ways to a very high standard by the owner manager. On Easter Monday he had wild salmon,dover sole and cod available, I had freshly battered cod which was the best I have tasted in decades. The wine list is basic but priced to sell.

Decided to visit on a very rainy bank holiday for lunch. The owner saw us in the car park and came out with an umbrella because he saw we had a little one in toe - how thoughtful.

Very good food and a good selection of beer friendly staff.

Wonderful, warm and welcoming pub

Our second visit to this place and yet again it far exceeded itself. The food is just amazing and the owners so friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. A very relaxed and friendly atmosphere all round. Highly recommend if your looking for great food, picturesque surroundings and a friendly place

Fab pub, very friendly and great food.
