The George Inn in Gravesham

Good food, really excellent choice regarding vegetables which is important to me. Sticky toffee pudding was very good. The staff are excellent. Two lovely, helpful kind young ladies. One step up for the restaurant, staff very helpful given my current use of crutches. Really nice spot for lunch.

Really enjoyed our lunch today, service was great, waitress really liked helpful. Please keep sea bream on the menu, it was the best meal I’ve had in ages, highly recommended.

Just been for Sunday lunch at the George. We used to use this pub years ago when old people had it. Stop as felt they were trying to turn it into something it never was. It’s a lovely country pub and the new owners I feel are trying to return it to that. The Sunday roast was excellent only had starter and main as full after that but they were delicious. The waitress were so pleasant and really knew how to serve you and make you feel special, even though the restaurant was very full. Definitely recommend the food staff. The building was a little sorry for itself but u am sure this will come with time, I understand they have had a time of it as the previous owners left lots of debts and just walked out. Hope they make a go of it .

Visited The George last night with a friend. Our server was super polite and attentive. I had the sea bream which was utterly delicious. Beautifully piquant lemon sauce, with just enough citrus flavour. The cheesecake was lovely, and a nice large portion. Will definitely visit again, although I’m not sure the bream can be beaten

When we rang to book for 7pm, we were asked to come at 7.15pm. Our names were not asked for. On arrival, there were only a small number of tables occupied. The menu was limited, with only chips or mash potato choice. I swapped chips for cooked vegetables. The steak was very tender, but I had asked for it not to be cooked in fat, and it was. Same for the mushrooms. The sausage and mash was fine. Sticky toffee pudding was very nice. Not the most exciting place to eat, but it tasted good and service was friendly and welcoming. Pricing wasn't excessive for the area.

Went with friends no atmosphere food was awful just like something out of the freezer for the money they charge you would expect freshly prepared food but this was not the case. we had to move to the bar area as they wanted to close the restaurant it was 9.45.the table we sat at in the bar was filthy the pub needs a complete renovation never to return

Agree with others a variation in menu would be good,had the salmon about three months ago and remarked how good it was. Sadly today's was so disappointing. Sure before it was roasted but today poached and under done,very small fillet a few potatoes and meagre spinach for just under £19. Altogether an underwhelming over priced lunch

Well our previous visit in March did not go well, however we thought that we would give it another go for Sunday lunch. Turns out that they don't do a traditional Sunday roast! Seriously? This supposedly traditional English Pub/Restaurant not offering a ubiquitous and classic Sunday tradition! Apparently there were technical issues with the kitchen, (a very vague explanation was given by a rather embarrassed member of staff) however a normal weekly/limited menu was available. Two weeks later we tried again with the same response. Normally if we have a unsatisfactory experience, we are always prepared to give it another go; everyone has bad days. Very disappointed indeed... We may try again, just so I can update this review...

We have been to this local restaurant several times and always enjoyed our meals.There is a nice comfortable ambiance in the restaurant and always good service. However! We have noticed that on our recent visits, with a few months between visits, that there has been very little change to the smallish menu. On our last visit we overheard another party say, as they sat down, “ Oh the menu is the same”. I think a few changes to the menu would be helpful to entice us back, this comment is meant as helpful feedback.

Excellent food, great value for money and friendly staff, what more could you want? The portion sizes are large and the menu catered for a wide variety of tastes.

My wife and I visited with a group of friends last weekend for the first time here for a number of years but unfortunately the experience was not as good as I recall it. Starting with a positive the ambience is excellent which our friends from Spain really appreciated. The menu and food was average pub grub standard. The service was lacking professionalism, they left us a wine menu but never bothered to take our order until the meal was virtually over and they were not familiar with the items on the menu.

Although I’ve lived in the area for nearly 30 years this was my first visit to the George Inn. It had a homely, friendly feel. Loved the beams in the restaurant. Parking was easy. Service was friendly and good. There was a reasonable choice of dishes on the menu. Food was well presented and portion sizes were good. It was a relaxing evening. I’d definitely come back again!

They ignored my request for a lactose free sandwich and buttered the bread. No apology no refund offered.

Visited for Mothers Day lunch. Very disappointed with the choice of menu, no white meat or vegetarian option for roast dinner. Overpriced at £35.00 for a two course meal. Service very slow and waitress rude at times. Won’t be returning.

Lovely Food. Menu too good. Impossible to decide what to have as so many favourites on offer. Beautiful countryside setting and staff couldn't be more helpful x

We have been trying to frequent this establishment several times. However they seem to be closed most of the time. Our last visit resulted in several menu items being unavailable as were certain real ales. Our reason for our visit. Very limited and unimaginative menu, resulting food was poor. Staff clearly wanted to leave and close early; did not feel welcome at all... For some reason the toilet was the warmest place, but flooded with water (Hopefully) everywhere. Sadly could not recommend..

Visited on Valentines night and it was sublime, as usual. The food was exceptional, Lorraine and all her colleagues in the kitchen are perfectionists. The staff were attentive and professional as always, it is honestly a pleasure to visit. We honestly adore this venue, it’s a pleasure to visit and a heartache to leave, very much look forward to visiting again soon. Highly recommend, it is faultless, trust me.

Fabulous food - good portion sizes and great vegetarian choices. Very friendly service. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Very small portions, starters shop bought prawns, main average a bit tasteless and the pudding was microwave with lumpy custard no care. Staff very young with very little experience. wouldn't go back

What a amazing place for a proper English breakfast and the food was outstanding and the service a lovely setting and wonderful food for breakfast lunch and dinner and even pub snacks!made to feel welcome and nothing was no bother at all would highly recommend

We had a lovely family birthday meal for 9 (ages ranged from 18 months to 72). Food was excellent - a good selection to suit all tastes. Service was above and beyond exemplary, especially when it came to making my 18 month old granddaughter welcome...

We spent a wonderful Xmas lunchtime dinner one again, a large group, great food, service and value for money - well done!!

We visited for first time in some years, with two friends for Christmas menu at lunchtime. Good welcome and it’s an attractive venue. Main issue was the cold. Not the pub’s fault really as we were seated by a radiator that was on full. It...

Really nice place - looks unassuming from outside but food and staff were lovely. Nice dining room with a cozy vibe. Would go back.

Whilst the food was ok ish as the veg had been under the lights for a while the service was shocking, I don’t like to be pestered but it’s nice to be asked “how’s the food” from the time we sat down to the time...

A delightful experience! The only criticism is that the actual menu was more curtailed and less adventurous than the on line sample menu with only one vegetarian option for mains. However the food was perfectly presented, the main courses timed expertly to follow the earlier...

Booked for a Saturday evening and was glad we had as the restaurant was packed, but despite being busy there was till parking space in the carpark. Once seated our drinks order was taken promptly and the food order followed soon after. We were advised...

Just Had A meal in the Bar- very average, salad on Brie Mushroom and Cranberry was just green leaves no tomato, cucumber etc. Wellington was out of the freezer but more like a pie. Pint of Whitstable bay flat, so had red wine, all in...

We stumbled across this great roadside pub while looking for a snack lunch. Our choices of freshly made sandwiches, BLT and a Fish Finger, both were good and served with a salad and washed down with a well kept pint of bitter.

We like this restaurant a lot, staff always polite and friendly. My husband has just had the sausages and mash and said it's the best he's had (and he's had a few!) Thank you

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...

The service received by the front of house staff was impeccable! The food from starter to dessert were absolutely delicious, portion sizes were perfect! I can't praise the service enough! Well done to the Head Chef and front of house staff well done!

Taken here by friends in the area. Good parking, and well set out. A very comfortable and great Sunday lunch. Would visit again if in the area.

Superb! It is a delight to have visited. Staff lovely and helpful, and I find it rare that the menu has , in every course, bar non, every option an option is happily pick. I Picked the lamb, superb tasty and well presented, my wife...

The four of us had a two course meal each, main course and puddings. We had one pork, one lamb, one beef and one Norfolk Turkey. All the main courses were a good sized portion of delicious meats with roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. The...

This is a bar also and very expensive! £6.70 for a pint of Moretti lager, £8.30 for a large red wine! London perhaps, but not a country pub, well over the top.

We have enjoyed visiting this pub, either to eat or just for a drink. However on our recent visits, they have either been closed or closing early. We were turned away from the restaurant as it was closed; as early as 8:30 PM! Their website...

The food for our group booking was well presented and tasty, served by two charming young waitresses. However all of us at some time experienced the lack of charm and brusqueness of the manageress either at time of booking or when finding a seat or...

Organised an after wedding meal with Jo who took care of everything from start to finish. Wonderful food and atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much.

We had tried to get booked in here a couple of times before, but had always left it too late - fully booked! This time, we booked early, and were not disappointed. I was panicking a little as we had a table booked for 7:00,...

Beautiful people, very attentive. Food is really scrumptious. Great music playing in the background. Good ambience.

We booked a table for dinner for my Mum’s birthday as we have always experienced good food at The George and this visit did not disappoint once again. We all ordered different and the meals were lovely as always. The restaurant was quite full, however,...

Perfect service from the lovely staff last night. Don’t get the opportunity to eat out very often so was so pleased to experience this lovely restaurant with a charming atmosphere, tasty food and outstanding service. Will be back!

The best place.to eat and drink. The service last night was total outstanding. Two young ladies enjoying there work. Well done.

Ate here last Sunday and what can I say the food is fantastic with the Ambiance and atmosphere also spot on. I went for the Chorizo croquettes which was beautiful in flavour followed by the Sea Bass which was out of this world and somehow...

I visited the Gearge for lunch. I had prawn and crayfish cocktail my son had the chicken and ham pie. Excellent food and great service. Sharran was a great host and made a point of having a chat. Such a welcoming lady. The pub is...

Had a great evening with friends. Delicious food and polite staff. A traditional Quaint English Pub. Would highly recommend a visit.

Recommended by our b&b host. It was soon after lockdown ended so I understand things could have been different. The online menu we searched looked amazing, the menu we had on arrival was much reduced. Shame ! If you want to be well fed this...

Friendly staff clean inn good menu but huge portions. We had lunch it was well cooked and hot upon arrival at our table

Arrived at this establishment got lunch at midday and from the minute we walked through the door was welcomed by a member of staff that has made this experience like one I have never experienced! Her welcoming manner and warm personality and nothing too much...

Visited the pub with my family to celebrate my birthday and unfortunately left the pub still hungry.. We arrived in time for our booking and we had a lovely seated area in the restaurant , since it wasn’t very busy and it was a beautiful...

Very disappointed. I went for the fish platter, prawns were very wet and tasteless, when my mum raised this with the waitress, the response was a shrug of the shoulders. The cheeseboard was ridiculous, 3 pieces of cheese, 2 of them cut so very very...

We found this place by chance despite probably driving past it several times on our way to see our family. Stopped there today and we are all so glad that we did! Lovely restaurant inside plus a small courtyard and bbq tables in a garden...

We were looking forward to eating at the George because it was recommended to us and also its the first time since Covid hit us. I was a little worried that if the place was fully booked, would the service and standards drop? and this...

4 of us had a gorgeous lunch, friendly welcome, socially distant tables. I had goats cheese starter with golden beetroot, absolutely yummy. Vegetarian curry which was fresh n spicy. The ultimate fish was my dessert, white chocolate rice pudding with whisky marmalade and homemade shortbread,...

Food was lovely, as were the waitresses. However the front of house staff (old male) let this down - he was extremely rude to us and disrespectful. Disgusting manners, makes people (who are not locals) not want to return. All of my friends had said...

A lovely pub option this one, a very cosy front bar area and restaurant to the rear and an outstanding outdoor area. Proper hospitality and welcome is offered by the proprietors which makes the difference for this venue. A very comprehensive menu and served in...

The food was nice. thought portions were small though for the prices charged. Had nice couple of hours with friends on a weekday lunchtime. Only soured when we came to pay the bill. The waitress said two old £20 notes we presented with other notes...

Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Great staff. The ribeye steak was cooked to perfection, the Cappuccino panna cotta was delicious! I would highly recommend!

Went to The George tonight 7th September Totally did not enjoy the meal....potato, cauliflower and squash curry. It was full of tomato! Hardly any cauliflower and squash .....tasted like a ratatouille!! No taste of coconut/coconut milk! I ate it as I was hungry. My husband...

The second time we have visited and enjoyed every part of our meal and evening. Waitresses are lovely and cannot do enough for you. Masks are worn at all times by the waitresses and this is the only restaurant that we’ve witnessed this. All 6 of us had the roast and it’s honestly the best roast we’ve had in a restaurant. Huge portions and lovely and fresh. The puddings were amazing too. Absolute value for money and we will be back for sure!! Thank you!

Went for a meal tonight, the first one since lockdown, the food was amazing and the staff were amazing too. Social distance was followed and everything was great. Would like to thank both girls who served us tonight, made us feel very welcome had a great night. Thank you.

We have dined here a number of times, before and after the lockdown. Service has always been friendly and approachable, nice variety of dishes and particularly like the bread and oil starter.

First visit to this old style pub. We sat inside as despite the nice weather it chose to rain on our drive out to the pub. We had two different young ladies serve us and they were both very nice. We ordered a Cajun chicken burger and a tomato, mushroom and hallumi burger. Both were good size meals. The hallumi burger was very nice but the Cajun chicken was extremely salty. Not something I have ever encountered anywhere else. Luckily my husband and I shared them and had half each of the burgers and I still left some. There was no way I could have eaten it all. It was far too salty. We were asked at the end of our meal if everything was okay and this was mentioned to the waitress. She said she would tell the kitchen but nothing was said to us afterwards. I would return but would definitely not order the Cajun burger again.

Very tasty meal but ordered pork stroganoff and rice (no mention of mushrooms) only got 3 very small pieces pieces of pork rest were mushrooms, my husband ordered the same but with chips (which were very nice) and had hardly any pork too, very small portions. We weren’t asked for track and trace contact details either.

We visited for an anniversary meal yesterday. There’s a limited menu at the moment but still lots of choice. My husband had the sirloin steak and I had the roast lamb. Very freshly cooked and outstanding quality. Very large portion sizes. Staff were friendly and efficient. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you.

We visited for a Tuesday lunchtime having walked the doggies and it was our first visit since the lockdown easing. We were welcomed by Sharon who was just wonderful, and the food was as good as it ever was. So glad to be back, Greg and Lorraine have a wonderful pub and you would be mad not to visit, it really is that good!!!

Visited for a nice dinner with my friends and was told by the manager ( Harry ) that there was no tables inside I therefore asked for a table outside and before he replied to let me know wether or not If there was any vacant he demanded for id. Me and my friends are in fact over the age of 18 but we felt very targeted even though we was only requesting a table outside and not even alcohol !! It was very off putting and I felt as though I was targeted in a very rude manor.

Just back from lunch at the George Inn. First time visit there, very impressed.The menu is varied, service friendly and attentive, and the food, especially what I had was hot, well cooked and presented. Steak Pudding with veg very tasty. The Sticky Toffee pudding more than excellent.Thoroughly recommend. Will be going back.Well done everyone

Enjoyed another great lunch here. Home cooked food at its best, good selection, pleasant, helpful staff. Never been disappointed. Had a Roast Sunday lunch a couple of years ago and tat was really good. Hopefully try again soon. The homemade chicken and bacon pudding was delicious, certainly recommend.

What a lovely welcome from the bar lady she recognised uncle Gordon and because of bad health he hadn't been for ages. We eat in the restaurant food was outstanding and the services from Jo our waitress was spot on and very professional. Highly recommend this place great welcome great service great food

Been meaning to try this pub for little o boy so glad we did 4 of us all had roast wow cannot fault anything meat delicious plenty veg proper roast potatoes we will be returning soon

We had a Sunday roast here on 23rd February 2020. Cost £15.95 each.The pub is very old and full of character. The staff are lovely and very friendly.When the meal came there was a plentiful amount of meat and the side dish of vegetables were nicely cooked but oh dear, the Yorkshire had obviously been hanging around a while but it was okay. The roast potatoes were awful, which was a shame because it’s my favourite part of the meal.I would hazard a guess that they had been raw and put in hot fat and left to cook. They were very brown on one section only and the rest was potato coloured. When I tried to cut through them when it came to the brown bit it was almost impossible. I don’t remember ever leaving roast potatoes before. They weren’t freshly cooked and they were lukewarm. They spoilt a decent meal.

Went with 12 friends for lunch in the bar ,great variety ,great value and the beers were good as well. Quick service and the staff are very friendly,and the atmosphere with with the open fire on a cold wet day could not have been better

Fortunately we know this pub by reputation and were with friends who go there regularly but if we hadn’t we probably would have driven past. The interior is far more pleasant and the atmosphere is fine. The food is very good with a varied menu. The halloumi chips were particularly good. It was not very busy but the service was efficient and friendly.

We have been coming here for over a decade and have NEVER had a bad meal or experience. Wonderful food, wonderful staff. Gregg and Lorraine are simply the most delightful and hospitable of hosts. It is always our pleasure to visit and spend time in this amazing establishment.

RUDE RUDE RUDE !!!! After a few conversations I called to book tho venue for our daughters christening.. the owner of the pub picked the phone up and I asked can I talk to the manager regarding booking a christening and his response was.... no you AINT when you call at this time,, this shows to me the owner does not value or appreciate customers and also struggles with the pressure of a Thursday lunch in his pub!! I would strongly advise not to use this pub as nobody appreciates rude customer service and arrogance

Excellent service, very friendly staff. Good ambience with log fires throughout. Mushroom wellington to die for . We’ll be back

Went with the family, ordered the beef and pork roast. Tasted like it had been reheated in a microwave. Potatoes weren't crispy or fluffy and also like they'd gone cold and been reheated. I left both. Horrible.

We were impressed with the menu, which was a little different from your average pub grub. The scallops and crispy bacon starter was full of flavour and the humus/taramasalata combo had a fresh, homemade taste. Nice to find that you could order a steak burger medium cooked; so many establishments insist on cooking burgers until they are grey “for health and safety reasons”. The lamb rump was tasty with a selection of obviously fresh vegetables. The ginger and rhubarb crumble was so good that we wished we had not had to share a portion (over indulgence with the earlier courses).

Booked table for four. We were seated immediately on arrival. Service throughout was good. We all enjoyed our food which was excellent. Despite an early evening booking we were not rushed so we had a very pleasant evening.

Food was average. Went for the three course Sunday lunch. Beef was overcooked. Sticky toffee pudding was swimming in sauce which was badly presented as the sauce was dripped around the bowl. Service was bad. Waited ages for plates to be cleared. Waited ages for drinks. Had to ask for sugar for the coffee as it wasn’t brought out. Table filled up with empty glasses but no one cleared. Wasn’t even busy so no excuses for the poor service received. Best thing about it was the prawn cocktail starter. Wouldn’t return.

You can always guarantee a delicious meal at The George. You may have a slightly longer wait than you would at many pubs where the food is brought in a van ready made, but here the food is absolutely fresh and cooked to order. We had a delicious dinner here a week ago - sea bass for me, and steak and mushroom pie for my partner - and then came here again yesterday with our walking group. Eleven of us enjoyed an excellent lunch, and Sharon was amazing sorting out our seating arrangements and our various menu choices. Thanks Sharon - you are a star - and thanks to chef from us all.

Went to the George 2017 very good so had a 40 th birthday coming up so decided to book for 25 of us booked well in advance great food great drinks the 3 waitresses who served us were brilliant the whole evening was a great success thank you to all the staff at the George for making my daughter in laws 40 th great

Eight of us celebrating two birthdays and had a really good evening. Good food, good service and lovely atmosphere, thank you.

We ate in the fancier dining room. I'd have preferred the more atmospheric pub area, but the back room was lovely as well. Had a Sunday roast, and the gravy was excellent.

I visited The George for dinner with some female friends. The restaurant was busy but there was only one young waitress, whose name was Josephine, serving. She worked extremely hard and despite that fact that she was on her own, we did not have to wait too long for anything. The meal was lovely but the only disappointment was that the garlic mushroom starter we had all previously enjoyed was no longer available.

We have eaten here many times but tonight was very disappointing. We were 7 celebrating 2 birthdays. We waited a long time for the food and when it arrived 2 orders were incorrect and 2 Cod and chips had no chips. The chips arrived 10 and 15 minutes respectively later. The steak pie had no veg and arrived 10 minutes later and was really not fit for purpose. The last meal to arrive, way after the others, was ham, egg and chips and the eggs tasted of oil. This meal should have had Bakers Bread with it, but we didn’t see it. What went wrong? It wasn’t even busy. Was any one in charge in the kitchen. What a disappointing meal. Some of our party had travelled from Scotland and we highly recommended The George. I don’t think I will do that again.

Came here with a walking group. Such a lovely spot in the garden for a late summer lunch. Not only was the food excellent, the service was top notch. The staff were friendly and warm, nothing was too much trouble. Will look forward to a return visit.

Dinned here a few days ago. We opted to sit in the bar area as it was only a quick dinner. Staff are attentive and food is lovely. Will definitely go back again.

We always love meals at The George, so thought we'd pop in for a 'girlie' lunch last Tuesday. Ate in the bar area but still received first class waitress service from Jo. Food was fab as always, loved the cheese and walnut salad, prawns and the fish patter. Lovely ambiance, charming surroundings, delicious food and great service - what more could you want?

What a lovely experience yesterdays lunch was. An incredidibly hot day.the restaurant was smart,cool and traditional. Tables laid up with Linen and spaced nicely apart. 2 young people served us...both were polite, friendly and helpful. Well done.Set menu on a Sunday..its not cheap...it is very good though. Good roast dinner, good roasties and fab desserts. The chefs deserve congratulations for cooking in the extreme heat...food,service,ambience could not be improved on from this experience.

A lovely evening out in the restaurant. Beautiful food and excellent service From when we arrived to when we left Thoroughly deserved 5 stars

My Father and I visited The George for lunch. What a brilliant find whilst taking a drive out. Lots of choice on the menu. The food was delicious and service was impeccable and all with a smile. Will definately visit again.

We recently visited the George for my Dads birthday meal and the food was lovely! I had the potted crab starter and pork main which were both amazing! Service was on point, never an empty glass. Will definitely be returning again and would highly recommend. Thank you!
