The George Inn in Isle of Wight

On first inspection this lovely boozer looks quite plain, but I think there's just so much space it takes you a while to get used to. The barmaid was wonderful and cheerful. The bar is just around the corner as you enter from the High Street and there are tables available throughout. Walk through to quite a sizeable beer garden which would be ideal in the summer. The Guinness was excellent as was the Ringwood Brewery Forty Niner.

Super roast as usual and what great value and service too.

Decent pub food with good service. Friendly staff.

Been coming back to the George year after year .. it’s a welcome Break from the festival madness,Relaxing environment to spend a few moments enjoying the sunshine in the beer garden.. Staff are very friendly, Good service , Both prices of food and drinks are good value for money, The George is definitely worth a visit

Tired place and flat coke and lemonade....

Went for Sunday lunch and the food was great also the service the wife's was just as good

Really friendly bar staff and great service. Very accommodating and the food was amazing!

Landlord incredibly rude to anyone not local to the island (as were the patrons dining) which was a shame, as it has put a sour taste in our mouth, we won't be back

My time at the George Inn was thoroughly unpleasant, the Landlord was needlessly RUDE and confrontational, and judging from previous reviews for this establishment I can see that I am not the first to suffer this individual. Do not recommend.

Absolutely the worst pub on the island, went on Wednesday and still thinking about the horrendous service now. Ending up leaving half-way through my cider as I couldn't stand the way myself and other customers were being spoken to by the guy behind the bar

Landlord very rude and confrontational. People like this shouldn’t work in customer service

The George no longer does food. Went in for lunch and was told they only do Sunday lunch now. No reason given, and the website hasn't been updated. Very disappointed.

The best Sunday Roast dinner ,value for money. It comes Cauliflower cheese and all the trimmings.. in Newport. In fact, the best one we've had on the Isle of Wight. Friendly staff and has a great beer garden.

A traditional pub that provide a decent Sunday roast at a reasonable price. Good location as 2 minutes walk from bus station. They do seem to close some days and food is not served every day arm.

I will definitely book well in advance next time in eating at the george, managed to get a table, we were told there would be a little delay , not a long wait at all, the meal was really good we'll worth the little wait (10 mins) service was excellent thanks very much

On holiday for a week we craved a Roast dinner. The George was the first place we saw when we got off the bus. As we had the dog we needed to be in the beer garden which was beautifully kept with flowers and features. All the staff were polite, attentive and the food was delicious. Only £14.95 for 3 courses of which my partners starter could have fed most people alone. If we holiday in IOW again this place is a must to eat at

What a fantastic meal, the staff were attentive, friendly and made us feel very welcome. The setting was as good as the staff, we had a disabled child with us and staff couldn't be more helpful if they tried and finally Sunday dinner, wow, what a chef, its our last day on the island but next time we are back we will definitely call in again. Thanks guys awesome

Yet again, another lovely value for money home cooked Sunday Lunch and pudding. This family run traditional Island pub is always well worth a visit and to pop in for drinks too. Hayley and her team do an amazing job in the kitchen and the govenor Bob and Mandy do a great job front of house. Always a nice friendly atmosphere, nice locals, family friendly. Large beer gdn sun trap and located in the heart of Newport.

Rude landlord. Arrogant and needs to not comment on potential patrons parking.

Lovely pub and 💕🍺 roast dinners are fantastic

Nestled in a small olde worlde looking village, you walk through the garden gates into an oasis of modern luxury where nothing is too much trouble. The glorious weather helped set this weekend off, but the staff were friendly, they totally accommodated the children, food was delicious and drinks came quick. The constant background music made you question if you were in a high end London bar or Ibiza chill out cafe. The over all clientele was high end to match the prices! Bravo and we will be back!

Not very busy when I visited but has a large beer garden to the rear.

The best Sunday roast ever! I had the nut loaf and my husband had the turkey. 6 different vegetables, yorkshire pudding, gravy, cauliflower au gratin. Every bite was simply scrumptious.

Staff were polite and friendly and the food was excellent in a decent sized portion

Amazing Sunday lunch, the Biscoff Cheesecake was to die for, great atmosphere, thanks to Bob, Hayley and Mandy, would highly recommend you won't be disappointed

Fabulous Sunday roast, tasty vegetarian nut roast, perfectly cooked vegetables and yummy pud. Friendly and attentive team.

Lovely old style pub, very friendly staff, and they serve a beautiful Sunday roast. There's a few in newport that do Sunday roast, and this is a good one 👍

Very friendly staff made us feel very welcome

Yet another fantastic Sunday Lunch and pudding for 12.95 at this lovely, well run Isle of Wight pub. Great friendly service and food from Bob, Mandy, Hayley and the team. Pure quality. 😉👍

Called in Sunday and wished we hadn't had breakfast because Sunday lunches looked great.lovely staff.loved the 60s music.its a proper cosy atmosphere.would return

Absolutely banging Roast Thank you Chefs 😊

Cosy and quiet pub. A good pint too 😁

Very good Sunday lunch and the best roast potatoes

A lovely family run pub, always a nice welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Very good value Sunday lunches. Advisable to book in advance.

Wow! What an amazing Sunday roast! Great selection of fresh vegetables and meat. Lovely, attentive staff that managed to fit us in last minute. Will definitely be returning. Thank you!

Popped in this afternoon on the off chance as we've not eaten here in a long while and fancied a good old fashioned Sunday lunch. Place was busy but they found us a table and served us at the table. I had the turkey and my wife had the veggie nut roast option. We also went for a pudding each as 2 courses were £12.95. We have to say that the food was excellent, served nice and hot with great sized portions and loads of veg too. The puds were excellent too, I had the hot chocolate fudge cake and my wife had a crumble and custard. Looking around all the busy tables you could easily tell that everyone was really enjoying their food. The landlord Bob was really friendly as were all of the staff, nothing too much trouble. They take bookings which if there were more than two of you I would recommend but we would only have had to wait a short time anyway. Well worth it, excellent food, excellent value and highly recommended!

Great atmosphere, lovely hard working staff. Food was amazing , great veggie option too . Many thanks for fitting us in as we hadn't booked . Highly recommended. Thank you.

Wow just returned from the Isle of Wight tried a 3 course Sunday lunch at the George inn Newport four of us we had prawn cocktails as starters followed by roast beef with excellent portions of beef roast potatoes and Yorkshire separately arrived even more veg cauliflower cheese thinking we were all over the moon we ordered sweets home made cherry crumble and custard too die for again large portions overall the George was excellent for the 4 of us under £60 many thanks to the wonderful staff especially Mandy very well done

Great food. Great service. Lovely friendly staff 😊

Best value for money Sunday Roast on The Isle Of Wight. 9.50p one course, 12.95p two courses. Brilliant, friendly, efficient service from Landlord Bob and Senior staff Mandy and all of the team.Sunday Roasts beautifully cooked by Hayley, Bob's daughter. A really nice relaxing pub to visit, even just for a drink, always a nice welcome and large spacious beer gdn.

Great beer garden large Sunday roast

Lovely pub and Sunday dinner was fantastic would recommend 👌

Really friendly staff , very good variety of Gin 👍 Plus lots of other ales and drinks. Nice space out the back in the garden. Nice and local in town . Excellent location

Please note despite the signs outside this pub is no longer serving food.

Ordered a pint and a small coke, 250ml i think. Cost 10 pounds. Felt a bit of snobbery about the location we were placed in. Was a nice garden but not worth the money.

Lovely pub in the centre of Newport shopping area, large garden with plenty of seating for groups or families, food is available and highly recommended.

Nice garden in summer for a pint the food is decent but shutting at 9 on a Saturday and 6 on a week day is just ridiculous no wonder it's always empty

The food was nice! I’ve been here around 4 times in my lifetime and I like it here!

Fantastic we called in completely by chance. The pub was warm and welcoming and the food was superb. Thank you.

Roast dinner amazing. Most enjoyable meal had while stopping on Island , Friendly staff,didn't take long meal to come out.And all fresh vegetables .

We had Sunday lunch, what a lovely meal. 3 courses so much food 👍🏼👍🏼

Got a bit lost, walked through by accident with my disabled son in a special buggy, the landlord hands down was the rudest man I have ever met, all that was needed and would have made such a difference as a person not familiar with the IOW was a smile and some help/ directions, instead we got ‘This is a not a right of way’ and a really rude manner to go with it. I honestly would not recommend this man to help or assist in any way. If you are disabled, or you are pushing anyone who is.. stay away from this place - god awful If I could give this no stars- I would.

Great place friendly staff,good atmosphere recommend it.

Lovely place really friendly staff

Nice traditional pub good beers

Went here Sunday place was quite busy asked the very friendly barmaid called Lorraine I think if we could have Sunday lunch. She found us a table I had 3 course lunch which was well worth it .when my Sunday lunch came it was so big and very very tasty best Sunday lunch we have had in a long time .We are used to big portions been from the North East but my this was well worth every penny we paid can't wait to come back staff were excellent and I think the Lady was called Lorraine was very friendly and helpful an asset to any restaurant establishment .All I can say staff great food great and very reasonable priced.

First time to the Isle of Wight and stopped in Newport for something to eat and found the George Inn and we are so glad we did. There was a decent selection of beers and spirits but the food was nothing short of excellent. You had a choice of a 1, 2 or 3 course meal. Me and my wife both had the roast beef dinner, although there was a choice of meats, and not only did you get a decent serving of beef it came with 4 large roasted potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding, stuffing ball and 6 different types of veg - parsnips, mashed carrot and swede, cabbage, cauliflower cheese, carrots and broccoli. It also came other a gravy boat and horseradish sauce. There was so much that we ended up sharing a pudding - homemade bread and butter pudding with custard - which again tasted fantastic. Both the meal and dessert came out lovely and hot and the service was excellent. Highly recommended.

Good value, excellent service and a nice roast dinner.

Lovely Roast Beef Dinner..Good Value For Money..Highly Recommend

It's a good old I pup you have to go

Lovely place friendly staff made us feel very welcome lovely beer garden proper sun strap

Superb Sunday roast dinner, limited choice of meats but beautifully prepared and presented. 6 different vegetables plus all the usual trimmings. Plenty to eat. Wine and beer good value with a bottle of Rose only £12.50. Very Covud safe place, well recommended.

What can I say, the 3 course Sunday roast was fantastic, Bob and the staff was really friendly and we felt so safe in there, We would highly recommend the George Inn fantastic service ( Sorry forgot to take a photo of the Hot Chocolate Fudge cake ). Definitely booking again.

Very good Sunday lunch plenty of vegetables.

Great pub never got chance to try food

visited over the weekend when busy for drinks. The staff were quick at taking our order and us receiving our drinks. they were also very friendly and made us feel welcomed and relaxed. prices were ok for drinks too. nice and clean toilets. would say best pub in the town.

It's a good pub can feel good and relaxed with your family 👪and friends 😊.

Lovely sunny day. Beer garden out of the wind. Great, friendly service. Nuff said.

Nice and clean, friendly staff and good food, pity still saw someone enter without a mask despite big sign on door, never saw them challenged. All in all a nice place to be and apart from my comment above you feel very safe in there

Don’t let looks deceive you. If your looking for good quality homemade food, at a reasonable price then I recommend The George Inn, a family run pub in the centre of Newport. Overall it was the best roast dinner I’ve ever had!

Fantastic value for money with excellent food, such a big portion I couldn't finish it all. Glutten free meals. Friendly welcoming staff. We have lived on the island for 15 years and never ventured in, so glad we did today as it is now on our list of places to regularly visit.

We popped into this pub at midday as adhoc visitors to the IOW. We were sooo impressed. The staff were kind, chatty, helpful and welcoming. The food was absolutely superb.... homemade pies with loads of ace chips, lots of fresh vegetables and gallons of gravy in our own little jug so we could pour what we like. Two grown men left full and happy. If the portions weren’t so large we would have definitely gone for dessert too coz they were just as wonderful I bet. One other thing... the cost was so reasonable. Go see fit yourselves

The landlord and his staff were friendly and welcoming, the service was very good I had a carvery it one of the best I have had I will definitely go back.

Visited yesterday with my 2 Sisters and found the following, only took my details and not the others. Carpet was dirty as well as the toilets, no toilet paper in one, nothing to dry hands with Server did not wear a mask or clean tables with spray just a cloth. Sorry will not be visiting again

Food was cooked perfectly and tasted scrummy, even the rice was perfect which a lot of places don’t seem to get right, staff very helpful and friendly highly recommended.

Best pub on the isle of wight and Bob and family are brilliant

Big portions, friendly staff, good value. Only downside was the fact that on the hottest day of the year the tables outside weren't hardly cleared. We were there from about 4pm to 7pm and of the 20 or so tables outside by the time we left 18 of them had glasses/bottles/plates on them and only 3 were occupied. Never more than 5 occupied the whole time. The server would bring out plates of food and go back in empty handed or take two finished plates out of 4, and then the next time if she took anything she would take just half the plates off a different table so both tables still looked a mess and the plates were covered in flies. A couple of people came in, looked around at the state of the place and left which is a shame. May be there is full employment on the IOW and they couldn't get any more staff? I nearly offered to do 5 minutes myself for free...

Lovely friendly pub made very welcome even though we were visitors will definitely be coming back on my next visit to the island

Dropped in for some lunch and a great selection of hot cooked food on offer.. Great welcome from a very helpful member of staff. Would throughly recommend and will call in again when in Newport...Great service 🍻👍

Food is absolutely lovely atmosphere great and friendly staff

Love coming here for food it is always spot on with a fantastic menu and friendly staff.. After breakfast today went back for lunch

Cosy pub with great food at a decent price. Came here for a sunday roast and it was really tasty. Will defo come back again.

Strange decor mix in this busy pub near the bus station - beams, anaglypta, brickwork, wood paneling but somehow it works. Nice fireplace for a cold day. Large seating area outside. Extensive pub grub menu £10 range. Pint of Fosters £3.90

Visited on a Sunday lunch time, ale was not great (too cold), loud pop/rap music playing was distracting, may have tried lunch but for that.

This place serves great traditional food and lovely atmosphere

Nice food at reasonable prices.

Absolutely no atmosphere - dreary! Very little choice when it came to ales on tap or wine by the glass. Redeeming feature - clean loos!

The food was great - went on a whim and was pleasantly surprised

A couple of years ago now, I had the BEST EVER tasting and fantastic portion of Steak Pie here, utterly faultless. Now the ownership has changed... I was really forward to having that great Pie again. So ordered it... waited 25 mins, and what they put in front of me was beyond belief. It was tiny, way over cooked so the the gravy inside the case was now just charred remnants. The crust was so hard I would have need a chisel not a knife and fork. I was really so disappointed that I paid and left but alas will never be returning. Avoid the Steak Pie like the plague, you have been warned.

Nice local pub with a good atmosphere and a nice pint of Guinness. We didn't eat but the menu was varied and the food we saw looked nice. We wish we had eaten here as we went to the chinese round the corner and it was terrible

Good friendly staff great food plus good selection of ales. 👍👍

Great home cooked pub lunch I will go back again

Excellent food and comfortable surroundings.

Nice place big portions friendly staff xx

Great place with great staff and management who value your custom! The sign out side said that they don't do fast food! We had a meal there and my only complaint was that it wasn't quick to come out but the food was very tasty and hot! Definitely worth a bit longer wait!! Would definitely be going back to eat and drink there again thank you!

Staff are always friendly. Food is good value.

Nice friendly staff and lovely food

Really good food when we've visited. Nice atmosphere.

excellent food and drink excellent customer service always call in here when we come over
