Lovely stay in a quirky pub. Really accommodating throughout, left our bags a few hours before check in to make the most of margate. Quality service and very nice amenities (fresh coffee grounds!). You share a bathroom, and it's an old building, so bring ear plugs, but it's no drama what so ever as long as you go into knowing that. Very close to the main pubs and restaurants. To top it off if we woke up to the smell of a roast being prepared on a Sunday morning. Will be back next time we're visiting.

Popped in with my friend, while we were in the area. It's a lovely, cosy place and the food (we had the porchetta bap) was amazing. Aaron (the guy at the bar) was incredibly friendly and helpful. Were not local but definitely will be back.

My wife and I booked to go for dinner on Saturday 15th Feb with our 3 month old. Sadly, our baby was having a tough time settling down and was a a bit overwhelmed. The staff (Aaron, Xavier and Esther) were all amazing with us, offering us a quieter spot as well as delaying our food so we could try and settle the baby. They kept coming back to check on us and be supportive and reassuring. In the end, we decided it was best to leave and the team had our food all packaged up for us. We took our steak back to our Air BnB and it was still absolutely delicious! We absolutely will go back and absolutely recommend this restaurant to any new parents who are a bit nervous about those first nights out, everyone was so supportive and understanding.

Very solid pub, with a nice vibe/decor and good choice of drinks. Sadly though, the roast wasn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The veg and gravy were OK, but the meat was slightly chewy and the Yorkshire pudding was cold dry and almost inedible. Shame really as it looked appealing visually

So their website and socials for December indicate their opening hours on a Sunday are 11am - fab we think! We turn up just before midday and informed they’re open for at least another ten mins - why poorly communicate your hours?! Relatively nice experience inside in terms of decor, pricing etc.

Visited on Sunday. Booked in advance - the place is popular and was very busy. Atmosphere was great. Good vibes and the décor is wild and energetic. Services was kind and friendly but at time struggled with the busy load. Food was good. We tried all variations of the Sunday roast and the 6 in our group were all happy with their choice. Baby changing facility was lacking (please sort it). Sweet.

We had a fantastic dinner, the food at the George is so delicious - we tried the Sunday roast before (best ever!) and also the pop up summer bbq (fish was insanely good), but never came for dinner mid week. It was such a delicious revelation - what a fantastic menu in an even more fantastic setting! I couldn’t recommend it more 👏👏

I couldn't recommend The George & Heart higher - the heart of Margate VIBE I hosted my parents' 50th wedding anniversary at the George & Heart in the private dining room - which is separate from the main dining room so you get the privacy but also get the vibe from the main room and get really looked after - win-win! Warm welcome on arrival - the decor as you will see, is cosy, stylish and makes you feel relaxed and wanting to stay and really enjoy yourself. Music is there but not over powering. PREPARATION From the ease of booking, allowing us the option to pre order or not and making time for us to set up and bring the cake - everything was on point with knowledgeable and helpful people. The room was set up beautifully and we dropped off balloons and decorations earlier in the day so it made setting up really quick and easy - nothing was too much to ask! Top Tip : Speak to the teams who will help with anything. FOOD Taking a family of 14 - all of which are foodies with high standards and not afraid to voice opinions can be difficult to please. Our experience was amazing. From the starters, main and puds, everything exceeded everyone's expectations. They accommodated changes to the menu as well, allowing us to put the butter bean & chorizo Cassoulet with the cod dish. I think between us all, we may have ordered everything on the menu. From the mouthwatering parmesan beignets and homemade pork pies, to the smoked duck and confit rillette (a personal favourite). Other favourites from the table were: Port chop schnitzel, crispy monkfish, and house specials of steak frittes and homemade pasta. Our rowdy table went quiet at each course and we all tried each other's dishes - can’t get a better sign than that!! Top Tip: We pre ordered 6 of the scotch eggs to save disappointment - they are addictive! SERVICE What can I say, "it feels like they really care" said Mum They are friendly, confident, around but not too much and let us get on with a cracking night - no question was too much We mainly interacted with Florrie and Aaron on the night so a special mention for sure - Thank you for creating a special night. DRINKS Well - let’s just say we sampled many, from the dark and stormy to the red/white wines and on to to some of the great local beers and IPA’s. The team was so accommodating that they even made one of our family members who is underage a special piña colada so that they felt included in our toast. Top Tips : Best Vinho verde and Espresso Martini Finally - exceeded expectations on both food, vibe and service, pure quality and value for money - THANK YOU

The George and Heart is absolutely charming. The decor is an eclectic mix of Victorian maximalism and funky modernism.

We had an unforgettable afternoon at this pub in Margate! The roast dinner was absolutely incredible—tender, perfectly seasoned, and served with generous portions of all the classic trimmings. It truly felt like a home-cooked meal, but elevated. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. They also went above and beyond for my girlfriend’s birthday, surprising us with a beautifully arranged cheeseboard for dessert, complete with a birthday candle. This thoughtful touch made the afternoon feel really personal and memorable. We were so impressed by the attention to detail and how welcome they made us feel. We can’t wait to come back next time we’re in town!

Lovely quirky building and interior design, very fitting. Service, although very friendly, was a bit hit-and-miss.

Amazing food and drink. Not your regular pub, but something for a finer palate. The food is almost sophisticated, well balanced, and of high quality. Don't expect pies and the like. Prices are not high, higher than your average pub, but great for the quality offered, paired with high quality service. I'm rating this as a place to eat. We didn't stay at the hotel part, which Google would like me to rate instead.

The Northdown Margate lager was also lovely

Family dinner at this local restaurant and we were not very impressed. Old pub building which was dark and hard to see the food. Service and waiting times were slowish and service was a bit vague in my view, but we did get everything and the girls serving were polite. We ordered a Cheeseburger which came with very salty fries. Kid Burger, Heritage Tomato Tarte, Halibut and I had Pork Fillet, this came with a bit of potato, a sliced apple and a huge mound of some sort of cabbage which seemed to take over the plate and in my humble view ruined the meal. They added a service charge of 10% which I always find annoying so of course did not leave a tip.

2/10 Wouldn't recommend coming here for a Sunday roast dinner. We ordered 2 Roasts, The Beef; which was a little stringy, came with a incredibly dry Yorkshire Pudding and slightly overdone Chicken w/Stuffing (they forgot the stuffing and when it came it was so small, dry and tasteless 😭) We had high hopes for the roast potatoes but wow they were SOOO hard and overdone.... especially for the price of £20 🙅🏻‍♀️ The one carrot and gravy was a tad thin but tasted nice. To top it off ALL the glasses all had lipstick on it, but our waitress was so nice about it all and changed out glasses immediately. The atmosphere in the garden area was absolutely lovely though.

I was really looking forward to a great roast dinner at the George. Read some reviews. Seemed solid. Got there…ordered…and good lord, I have no idea where these reviewers were eating but it can’t have been the George. It was quite honestly the WORST roast dinner I have ever had. Iceland frozen roast would have been preferable. The chicken was anaemic, small and looked like it had been boiled not roasted (the skin was just…slimy). The potatoes…potatoes MAKE a roast dinner, and I don’t know how the chef managed to make these so dry, and chewy and oddly powdery in the middle. It takes great skill to ruin a potato so effectively. Honestly, bravo. There were no greens as advertised and every table seemed to have to ask for their stuffing. I wish I hadn’t. The sage was SO overpowering it was like eating soap. As for the Yorkshire pudding (which you had to pay an extra £1 for)? If I were from Yorkshire I would have gone to the kitchen and slapped the chef. Chewy. Dry. Sad. Aunt Bessie would be ashamed of you. So bad. The one carrot we had was okay. The gravy was watery and not much of it. I don’t know how the chef managed to avoid any flavour leaking into it, but they did. And all this for £20. Horrible. Please, for the love of roasts, don’t do this to yourself. You’re worth crispy, fluffy roasties, a deep, rich, flavourful gravy and a Yorkshire pud so light and crisp you could float away on it…But you won’t find any of this at the George & Heart.

So we thought we’d try this place after someone telling me they do a nice meal. So we ordered a roast beef and a roast pork with a side of cauliflower cheese, menu reads very well. That’s where it ends, a beef roast, cauli cheese and a bowl of roast potatoes gets brought out, I thought oh that’s nice, you get extra potatoes. We are sat in anticipation for the roast pork, so I make a start on the beef (chewy and fatty) I get the waiting staffs attention to ask where the pork is, and it’s quite clear he knows he has made an error on the ordering of our food. He takes away the potatoes and ensures us the pork will be out very soon. I have by the point of the pork coming out finished what was semi edible of the beef roast. I tell the waiter that I will not be paying for the pork as we have come out for a meal together, not to sit and watch each other eat. The pork was removed from the bill and I also asked for the service charge to be removed from the bill to which he told me wasn’t optional. I informed him that if he doesn’t want to remove the service charge then I won’t be paying for any of the terrible food which we had received. Poor service, chewy fatty meats, rock hard potatoes and a dried up carrot and some sugar snap peas and samphire??? I certainly won’t be returning and I would recommend finding an alternative place if you’d like to enjoy a nice roast dinner. 👎

Fawtly Towers seemingly run by teenagers! I hate leaving a bad review- every place has their off days and maybe we just caught this place on theirs- but oh my! Literally do not know where to start. Drinks order messed up- wine tasted nasty. Ordered Sunday roast- no Yorkshire puddings left (literally just whisk up some egg and flour and problem sorted!). Service shockingly amateur- kids who really didn’t give a toss. Food arrived and tbh possibly the worst roast dinner I’ve ever eaten. Tiny portion with veg consisting of 3 green beans, a load of spring onions (?) and samphire (?????). Cauliflower cheese cold and the whole thing drowning in gravy saltier than the North Sea. Whole thing had a sense of the parents going away and leaving the kids in charge of the business! Really, really bad and not cheap either!

After having wanting to visit here for some time seeing as it’s just around the corner from where I live, I was left feeling very disappointed. To start with, I waited about 25 minutes for someone to come and take my order. When my food arrived I still had to wait for about 10 minutes for my drink. This never came so I went in and asked for it. The man behind the bar was unaware I’d even ordered one. My food was tasteless. Could not taste the crab, chilli or lime in the crab bagel. I had to ask for serviettes and cutlery to eat this with as it just fell apart and was very soggy and mushy. Also had a very lengthy wait for the bill. Will be hesitant to return.

What a brilliant evening in every way! From the moment my sister and I walked through the door, we felt totally at home. Ben, our amazing waiter, was completely fantastic. When he found out we were celebrating my birthday, he went over and above the call of duty! Everything was perfect. We started with Beignets, melting in the mouth and full of taste, plus scallops perfectly cooked. Then my sister had the best fillet steak ever - I would have had "food envy" except my pork fillet was equally delicious and succulent. We didn't have space for dessert, so I was offered a "birthday" glass of red wine on the house. Cannot praise the food highly enough but Ben definitely made the evening super-celebratory and special. Thank you so much!

We were on a break away for my 40th birthday and stumbled upon the pub whilst we were wandering around. We stopped off for a drink in the sun and then decided we'd book a table for my birthday meal. We're SO glad we did as we could not praise this place more. The team were amazing and friendly, and the food was 10/10. The Fillet steak was the best steak my wife has ever had and was cooked to perfection. The butter sauce with it was divine. The staff were really knowledgeable about gluten free options and could not be more helpful. Espresso Martinis were flowing and they made up virgin cherry sour cocktails for my wife. The vibe here is really chilled and the decor made it feel like a home from home. We would 100% come again and would even travel from Ashford just to eat here. The food on the menu was far more than what you'd expect from a pub, and we even complemented the chef directly

Absolutely LOVED our stay at the George and Heart House. I don’t usually leave reviews but had to come on and give one for this as it was so special and deserved it. We stayed in Studio Margate which was beautiful - such a comfy bed, lovely robes and amenities and a lot more space than it looked like online. Shower was great too and the sweet touches such as ear plugs and a Spotify playlist made it feel so personal and special. It didn’t bother us at all that the toilet was just down the hallway - actually almost preferred it that way! The mini bar was great, we definitely enjoyed the tea, coffee and biscuits throughout our stay. The breakfast was also really lovely - so much choice and clearly great quality ingredients. The fact we could sit in the sunny peaceful terrace area for it was a plus! The staff were all so helpful and friendly too. Next time we need to try the pub food! Honestly would come back and book again in a heart beat - it’s one of the most gorgeous places we’ve stayed in a long time! Thank you George & Heart - see you soon!

My partner and I just took a much needed post-exam vacation to Kent, and spent a lovely day walking the coast from Ramsgate to Margate. When we arrived in Margate we were starving and many places were closed - but we're happy they were because otherwise we might not have found ourselves at the George & Heart House and were absolutely blown away by the exceptional food and wonderful service. I had the steak, my partner the cheeseburger - and we honestly savored every bite. I also reccommend the tiramisu, and whatever drink the staff suggest. This sort of top shelf cooking using regional ingredients entirely deserves to be savored and praised. The service was flawless, the music and decor were perfect; I cannot recommend this place enough. I have no idea when I'll be back, but I genuinely want to return to Margate just to have another meal here.

The roast was impeccable. Every component was perfect, especially the cauliflower cheese. 10/10.

We hosted our sisters hen party here and were absolutely blown away. We took over the hotel rooms, Jamie the hostess & housekeeping was so helpful & friendly, the restaurant staff were amazing during the dinner. The rooms are beautiful, the heritage suite is an epic place for a party. You have your privacy, whilst being in a buzzing pub. Great food! Also literally in the heart of old Margate and a 5 second walk to the beach. Really really exceeded our expectations! Fantastic venue.

We had a great meal here with good value for a pub. The food was excellent though there was a fish and chip burger rather than fish and chips and there weren’t many vegetarian options that weren’t vegan. Good and friendly service.

If your ok in a pub with loads of Dogs jumping around licking each other some actually sat on the seats drinking water from bowls on the tables with their owners oblivious to how bizarre it actually is to non doggy people then this is the pub for you.. Beer very good staff slightly snooty .. maybe they are fed up with the dogs . Or life.. who knows.. Nice pub though...

The food was delicious, but the space was a little cramped and the table was too small. Great friendly service made up for it though.

Rude and incompetent staff. Avoid if you have children as they don’t accommodate them. We called to say we were running 30 minutes late for our booking and were told it was totally fine and not a problem. On arrival however we were told they’d given our table away and they couldn’t accommodate us. Not great and left us without options for our toddler. A call could have been made to ask us if we’re still intending to come or to come up with a solution but none was made. The place is run by young, inexperienced front of house with no understanding.of how to treat customers nor find solutions. If you’re a family I’d avoid this place as it’s very very small and not set up well for kids that need high chairs.

Dinner and drinks. Great vibe, fantastic food and the service was so nice. Shout out to the Squiddly Diddly IPA from the nearby NorthDown better.

Popped in for a pint, nice spot, very cosy in the saloon space - first come first served, space at the bar to sit is also limited - it feels very much a restaurant first, pub second, and the outside seating would be glorious if the weather was slightly better! Either way, couldn't be friendlier in there, and would 100% return.

We heard that this was the best Sunday roast in Margate from a few different people and on line research. We were a group of 9 & everyone had different roasts (pork, beef, chicken) the beef was so overcooked it was grey. the chicken dry and the pork unmentionable. This felt like school dinners. Quality of the food wasn't great and it wasn't cooked well or tasty. No one in our group wanted to stay for pudding including the kids so that is saying something.... Staff were extremely busy but nice when we spoke with them.

Dropped by late one evening for a drink and a quick meal and had a fabulous experience. The food was incredible! We had the lamb shawarma wrap which was so well balanced and cooked..we also had the Thai coconut muscles and the chicken liver parfait, both of which were amazing! We were talking about our meal the whole of the next day, and we are chefs so we have pretty high expectations of food! The pub is gorgeous design and good drink selection.

Had a nice dinner and evening time. Managed to get a table and felt welcomed. It got really busy in the evening so don’t expect too much table service when it’s crowded. Ordered the fish and wine, nice plating and tasted fresh.

We were recommended this little gem of a pub by a friend…staff were friendly, fun and attentive, food choice and menu was classic with a twist, and super delicious, it was quick, hot, well cooked and we all ate out 4 dishes to the last crumb. I also loved the decor of the pub - eclectic interior in cool colours, nice details and clash of vintage Margate cool with a soft friendly vibe. This will definitely become a regularly as am moving down this Summer!

Nice Margate Pub Just back from the seafront you’ll find the Georgian heart pub and hotel we went in there for a bit of lunch. It was a lovely little quirky pub with really nice staff. We all had the lunch deal which was burger fries and a drink for I think £13 great value for money really nice proper handmade, burger with all the bits ……nice cocktails too.

We have been coming here for almost 10 years and we never tire of this hotel... the rooms are magnificent, well equipped and of a very decent size: we have space and there is space to make a coffee or tea. The setting of the building is charming, the English charm that we love so much. The staff is always smiling and charming, caring for customers. A lot of things have changed in 10 years, some things we regret and others less, but it’s still always a pleasure to come here. So we are going to celebrate 10 years and already hope to celebrate 20!!
