The George Inn in Rother

Lovely lunch with friends and great service. Highly recommend xx

Lovely warm welcome, great food, cosy atmosphere with an open fire.

Great local restaurant, excellent food if a tad expensive...and dog friendly 🐕

Lovely place, Liz, Frane and Alison, very helpful and nice staff, food is very good, recommended.

Three night stay. Staff were very helpful and accommodating but the ‘luxury’ room was a let down. VERY small bathroom, unfinished tiling and floor and cold. Dust everywhere, dead flies and cobwebs in glazing, bins not emptied during entire stay. Very limited toiletries and tea/coffee tray. Old pillows without protectors. The breakfast was good but every item had to be ordered individually, nothing laid out for us to help ourselves to and there were no pastries or cereals

We had a lovely weekend staying at The George. A warm welcome from everyone in the team that we met; a beautiful room with everything we could want; and simply, quite unexpectedly wonderful, food! AND they are well known for their choices of ales.....

The food the service and the destination amazing. Nothing bad I could say about this place. And the pistachio Profiteroles was to die for so so good! When we visit again The George Inn will 100% be on our list.

An excellent place to stay, in an attractive old village. Spacious, well equipped and comfortable bedrooms. Delicious cooked-to-order breakfasts. Good beer. Cozy and characterful bar and dining room. Very friendly and efficient service. A short walk from the railway station, with regular trains to Charing Cross.

Lovey hotel in a great location, loads of character. Staff very friendly. Room big with a nice comfortable bed, shower hot and all very clean. All in all a lovely little friendly place to stay with a station 8 mins walk from the hotel Breakfast was something different one of the best hotel breakfasts I’ve had absolutely brilliant! Certainly worth trying this place you won’t look back :) I will be back again

Very dog friendly, good service good food

This is a lovely place to stay. The breakfasts were very nice, and the whole atmosphere positive. We also ate once or twice in the evenings, and the food was just as good.

Had dinner over 4 evenings as staying in the area. Excellent food, friendly and helpful staff, very reasonably priced. Would definitely return.

Another successful lunch at The George Inn. There's welcoming, helpful staff, a good choice of drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and a varied menu. I had the pork belly and my friend had the seafood linguine. Both meals were well presented, delicious and good value for money. Can certainly recommend.

What a gem of a little place we find. Beautiful rooms, excellent food at the restaurant and brilliant service. Thank you Lynn and all the staff there to make our mini holiday break so special.

Lovely pub. Great service, great food very reasonable priced. Food arrived promptly and tasted good. We opted for the sandwich’s which we were very pleased with. Good bowl of cheesy chips to share with the two of us tasted good as well. Over all a good pub.

Lovely rooms and excellent breakfast, well worth the money!

We have recently moved to Robertsbridge and this was our third visit to the pub. We have eaten on every occasion and have not been disappointed. I had a lovely tuna melt sandwich for a lunch that was hearty and satisfying. A much needed seafood pasta really hit the spot after a day’s unpacking. We finally treated ourselves to Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. There was plenty of choice and a very tempting specials board. I had a lovely and very filling nut roast and my husband had the roast chicken. Both were superbly cooked and very generous. I treated myself to a naughty chocolate bread and butter pudding and struggled to walk home. The staff were amazing and so friendly. There are some lovely rooms for those wanting an overnight stay. We will definitely be returning.

We spent one night here with breakfast and dinner. It’s well placed for sightseeing and beautiful hiking. The room was adequate and very clean. Food was excellent both in choice and quality, as too was the friendly service. The reason for the ‘average’ rating was the noise disturbance during the night. The room had poor sound proofing and we could hear the person above scuttling around together with intermittent drum and bass music reverberating through the floor. The next morning the management were understanding and reduced our bill but we would have preferred a peaceful night’s sleep.

A very good lunch served by pleasant, friendly staff. I had a cheese and onion slice ploughmans (never had one of those before) which was well presented, plenty of ingredients and the slice was very tasty. There's a good choice of seating inside but, as it was a sunny day, we sat in the quiet courtyard. Can recommend.

We recently spent two days staying in this Inn on a bed and breakfast basis. The staff were both friendly and helpful, our room was a combination of old and new in appearance. However, the room was both clean and tidy and the linings were crisp and clean and smelt fresh we both slept well for both nights. We had dinner is the bar the first night which was cooked and presented and we left nothing on our plates which says it all. Our full English breakfast on both days was not totally cooked to the same standard as our dinner hence quite a lot of food was left on my plate both days. Which was the only negative of our stay. Parking is outside the Inn and you were very lucky to park there both days.

Great pub in the heart of the village. We went mid week and there were a collection of people. We had burgers, jerk chicken and mushrooms rice. Great food fully of flavour. It is worth hunting out

We had an absutelty outstanding meal here on Friday evening. Probably one of the best ever in a pub . 4 beautiful starters including a home made scotch egg 4 amazing mains including fish steak and pork and 4 delicious desserts .lovely staff and service and a perfect pint of harveys . This may sound a bit gushing but , honestly ,we kept talking about it for days after

Popped in for lunch. The main menu is very much a restaurant menu, no bar snacks. They do a small range of sandwiches, for £8, which were we chose and were huge. I had a cajun chicken one and it had several big pieces of chicken in it and was hot (as in freshly cooked, not too spicy) served in a ciabatta type roll, with a very reasonably sized side salad. Could do with another couple of sandwich filling choices and maybe a couple of non-bread based snacks options on the menu, for those passing by just for a quick lunch. Service was good and friendly.

This pub is a real gem. Welcoming locals, friendly and super efficient staff and great chefs who offer a fantastic menu..... Just wish I lived a bit closer, but this will definitely be on the list to visit if I'm ever in this area again!

Not sure what this place is trying to be. A drinking pub or classy restaurant but either way it's failing on both.

Stopped for food Had a very nice seafood linguini

Great place to finish a long hike. Very welcoming and great food.

Rooms were really cozy, food was incredible, staff were friendly and full of local knowledge, a must visit if you're in the area

Very nice Sunday lunch. I had the roast which was very good. I'd definitely go again.

Went there for mothers day with our large family the food was excellent all came up at the same time I had eggs benedictine poached eggs were perfect very enjoyable and a reasonable price

Lovely little find… be try warm welcome, great service and food was outstanding

My father and I came here in for dinner this evening. I had the Pan Roasted Chicken, Wrapped in Bacon with Mash and Crispy Kale, and my father had the Seafood Linguine. Both also had the Apple and Blackberry Crumble. The food here is phenomenal. Everything was really tasty, flavoursome and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere in the pub is wholesome; plenty of young families and happy chatter. The waitstaff are also incredibly helpful and lovely. 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back!!

I went to the George Inn for lunch. Food was good and staff/service were friendly and professional. I'm vegetarian and my daughter is vegan, gluten free so options were limited for me and there really wasn't anything my daughter could've eaten had she been there, so it might be nice if they could cater for different dietary requirements, but I realise that can be restrictive especially if the menu isn't lengthy. A nice meal though.

Friday evening, two days before Christmas, we're hungry and thirsty and find ourselves some way from home. Not having planned to eat out, we've not booked anywhere, so what are our chances of finding somewhere to eat? Well, we struck gold! Lovely welcoming staff, a great atmosphere (busy and cheerful without being overly noisy) we were seated in a cosy corner, and were served promptly. The food arrived super quick and was nicely presented and beautifully cooked. Thank you for a great experience, shame we couldn't have stayed longer but we'll definitely be back. Merry Christmas!

Had a wonderful group gathering. Great venue on all levels!!!

We had a large family gathering…. the food was really excellent, the service was good, staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble.A warm and welcoming atmosphere.A very enjoyable evening had by all.We will definitely be returning and highly recommend the restaurant/pub.

Good food big portions lovely service

Parking is a little tight but the experience was delightful. The atmosphere is welcoming and warm. The manager/owner is friendly and sociable. The pub is dog friendly and the food is a delightful variety to suit all pockets and tastebuds. My pack will certainly be back. We had all 4 of our terriers at the fireside table near the bar and all thoroughly enjoyed our lunchtime natter and lunch. The pic is of our pack as we had just come from our kent holiday and were jpurneying through on way to the M1

Had a great lunch with friends. Great food and service with friendly staff.

The room i slept in was very cozy and comfortable and felt at home and the staff were very polite and approachable.

Very small car park. Not overly impressed by the food and drinks very expensive. Limited options for vegans and tables too close to each other

Came here for Sunday lunch. My wife had the pork roast and I had the burger with cheese chips. The food arrived quickly and rated amazing. The staff were very friendly and polite

Danke für den schönen Abend, gutes Essen, leckeren Wein, super Service

Went for an evening meal.Good food and service

Amazing food and lovely staff! Definitely coming back 👍👏

A wonderful establishment run by wonderful people. Brilliant food, sampled a starter, main & dessert and all 10/10 taste, presentation, great chefs! Hospitality was superb also, fantastic hosts who make you feel welcome and provide everything you need and more! Comfortable stylish rooms that were spotless! Will 110% be back!

LOVE LOVE! THE FOOD!! U must get the prawns! The staff are so kind, it's a must! Compliments to the chef.

wonderful food! had the chicken, prawns and brownie sundae and was absolutely amassing!! will be coming again soon! staff were so lovely as well

Only have had drinks, food looks and smells devine great service 👍

Just stopped for a couple of drinks. They do a nice Cruzcampo Spanish lager and Camden Town pale ale. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Lovely pub with excellent service

We had heard The George had been taken over and had acquired new Chefs; so thought it was time to visit. We were a party of four and had reserved a table for Saturday. This was a good move as they were busy. We were greeted and shown to our table by particularly pleasant staff. The menu was varied and appetising and we all found it very easy to choose our meal. Our choices arrived and we're beautifully presented and did not disappoint. We will definitely return again and would not hesitate to recommend The George to our friends.

Just had lunch at The George Inn now that we have a bit more freedom. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Covid precautions are in place; hand sanitiser is freely available (and the friendly staff politely ask to use it if you forget) and you are shown to your socially distanced table. The food is tasty, well presented and sourced from local suppliers. The portion sizes are certainly ample and good value for money. There's a lovely courtyard which is just right when it's sunny. And an added bonus, it's dog friendly. What more could you want?

A very relaxed couple of hours at this lovely inn. Wonderful food, parsnip & honey soup to start, with a warm roll & butter, delicious, followed by lamb with roasted new pot's, veg and a sumptuously rich jous. Hubby chose the fish board with a great selection of fresh fish including mackerel & prawns. The ambience is perfect to enjoy this type of food and a glass or two of malbec. Jane (owner) and the team made us feel so welcome with their attention to detail & friendliness. Definitely recommend.

Just had lunch at The George. Our first visit and we will surely return. Good to see the place busy and managing Covid restrictions so well! Smiling friendly service and welcome. Watched lots of lovely dishes going to nearby tables but we landed on a light lunch of fishy platter and prawns all sourced fresh from Hastings and absolutely delicious. Great chips, too!

It was the end of our 2 week hol and we'd eaten some great meals but so vlad we didn't pass on The George. Always a friendly welcome from Jane and tables well spaced and dog-friendly. The lamb rump was superb and came with fondant potatoes and either red cabbsge or roast veg. I asked for a little of both but was disappointed to be charged extra - although the red cabbage was best we've ever had - so not too bad. Mike's sirloin came with home made peppercorn sauce - in little bowl - nice touch. We shared the house meringue with autumn compote - really seasonal and yumptious. Not cheap but excellent quity and customer service. Thank you and see you next year.

We were looking at houses in the area and thought that the George would be the perfect base for us. My goodness, what a fantastic find. We couldn't have expected more. The atmosphere was so relaxing and friendly, the bedroom beautiful, spotless and comfy and the food was of an outstanding quality. It is lovely to see them using local suppliers.It was lovely to meet Jane and John and their fabulous team. We were really treated like old family friends.It was also great to see all Covid rules were adhered to. Thank you so much and hopefully see you soon

We travelled 40 miles to visit this pub for lunch. It was very worthwhile ! The pub is an unspoiled 17 th century coaching Inn expertly run by Jane & John, the owners. They pride themselves on providing an excellent meal with fresh locally sourced food. Lovely to see the owners taking a full part in the running of the Inn and yet making the time to have a chat with all visitors. We enjoyed a first class meal at a correct price. A pint of my favourite real ale ' Harveys' also went down very well. We will be back !

We visited twice for lunch during our holiday in the area. Great hostess, fabulous food, excellent adherence to all COVID rules and a lovely outdoor space for meals in the garden. Would definitely recommend.

This place was recommended by Carr Taylor Vineyard - we stayed for 1 night - we were very warmly greeted by Jane on arrival - she really made us feel welcome and at home - the George is COVID safe so if you want somewhere to eat/stay that you can feel safe and confident, I thoroughly recommend. We ate lunch, dinner, breakfast and also Sunday lunch - can’t fault any of it, the staff are amazing and very friendly and the rooms clean and we had a very comfortable nights sleep. Will definitely be returning.

Stayed here for a night while going wine tasting, room excellent, hosts very welcoming, nothing too much trouble, food very good, importantly in these Covid times meticulously clean and cleaned continuously, thank you and very recommended 👏👏👏

Ignore the Closed message - went today for an excellent lunch in this lovely little pub and beer garden. We shared the Kofti kebabs and mixed bread starter which was outstanding - Jane was a great server and the owner who we spoke to was really thankful we pointed out that on TripAdvisor it still had them as closed.Don’t just take out word for it - three other tables were complimenting them on the fish chips + burgers - great local place!!

We cycled to the George In for lunch. We pre booked as we were a large group, the restaurant were super helpful at allowing us to prebook and working out how they could seat us to meet Covid rules. The food was amazing - everything dish we ordered was good - and the service was very friendly and speedy. We’ll definitely come back!

We were looking for somewhere to stay in the area and The George had just opened its rooms after lock-down. We had a warm welcome on arrival, got settled into our room and had a drink in the bar. Social separation, hand sanitiser, one-way system all in place and working well. In the evening we had a surprisingly good meal in the pleasant courtyard garden. The menu was kept simple (so soon after re-opening) but the food we had was delicious (the chicken kebab is highly recommended). After a peaceful night in a very comfortable bed, breakfast was well executed and enjoyable. Service for rooms, bar and food was both friendly and professional. We'll be back.

We were staying in Robertsbridge and visited the George Inn for dinner and drinks, from the moment we arrived Jane and the team made us feel really at home. In light of current government guidance clear precautions re social distancing and hand gelling etc were observed ! We had the fish and chips which was simply delicious, followed by the brownie which was divine ! All in all a true gem, would definitely recommend !

Met friends for lunch day after they reopened after lockdown. Lovely pub, Great food and very relaxed atmosphere. Staff were friendly and welcoming. They strictly observed distancing rules and we felt very safe. The food was delicious and generous servings. Would thoroughly recommend.

A large pub hotel with good food selection and excellent local beers. Busy at weekends but a comfy place if you have a largish group.

My first visit to The George and what a delight. The friendly welcome and atmosphere was perfect and this was followed up by the fantastic food. We had the roast beef and belly pork and both were amazing, this was followed up with treacle tart, delicious and we were left totally stuffed. Everything was top notch, so much so we immediately booked a table for Mothering Sunday.

We couldn't fault the food or the service, so not sure why other people had problems with this in earlier reviews. Very attentive service from (the owner?) and really nice menu - not too ambitious, but sticking to what they do best. You can taste the difference between food cooked on the premises by a good chef and food prepared offsite and reheated (which is what most pubs do, trust me...). I cook food for my family every day, so I know the difference.When I eat out I want to eat food that is better than I can cook (or food I haven't got the time to cook). If I can do it better then I've wasted my money. Needless to say the chef did a better job than me and so this menu is a treat that I will be coming back for. The loveliest cod that I've tasted in a long time and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the slow cooked pork, which melted in the mouth. So, food: excellent, service: very good, ambience: excellent, convenience: fair (had to travel 20 miles from Eastbourne in Hurricane Dennis) ;-)

We arrived in the middle of a power cut so chose to come back later. The owner John kindly called me to let us know that power had been restored. We had a very enjoyable Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, served beautifully and tasting even better. Exceptional value for such an totally wonderful experience. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Just had the best Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding EVER... And the gravy was outstanding...it's an absolute must if you are in the area

Unfussy and tasty food, friendly service and cosy bedrooms. An attractive inn set at the heart of a pretty and historic village but with easy access to the A21.

This is a lovely, homely pub with very friendly and helpful staff. The food is tasty, well presented and good value for money. There's a good choice on the menu and a good choice of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. There's a small car park outside but street parking is available. Another bonus is that it is dog friendly.

This pub has a lovely atmosphere for either drinks or food. We have eaten here a number of times and for pub food it does not disappoint. The owners are friendly and know how a pub should be run.

From experience it pays to book ahead , not just to reserve a table on a busy Sunday but to ensure the chef has time to make a decent veg option for the sunday roast. Alas even 4 hours wasnt enough . My pint of Harveys ale arrived cloudy but it was replaced by the barstaff who were absolutely lovely. My table was ok but practically in the bar with the slightly hungover looking locals. The small bowl of very undercooked veggies arrived and was described as a 'share bowl' which was very odd and frankly pretty miserly considering the price. Anyway my long awaited nut roast came out and... my god... it was so bad i laughed so i gave a taste to my friend who almost gagged. It was like burnt Saxo stuffing with some bird seeds and marmite rolled into a soggy burger type shape.The waitress (who was lovely) told us that no one had complained before and they were also what they sold as their veggie burgers.. hello i was eating a veggie burger on a plate of gravy sold as a sunday nut roast?? Anyway the lovely waitress took it away and offered us the dessert. The result? Cold chocolate brownies . I gave up. Was the chef hungover or does he really hate people who don't eat meat either way, I wont be back to find out.

I popped in on my way back from a course, warmly welcomed, spacious bar and seating restaurant area, good menu not to big, a few specials all looked very good, a few local ales on tap along with the more widely known ones, the service, food and drink were all very good and reasonably priced, i shall pop back !

We happened upon The George whilst escaping a dreadful place we’d booked into down the road and delighted we did. Jane & John are excellent hosts, super friendly and welcoming as are their staff. I stay in dozens of hotels and the bed here was one of the best I’ve slept in which is an added bonus. Highly recommend.

All staff were friendly and forthcoming about the various beers and the extensive food menu. Our food was very good but it was the welcome which made it for us.

Called in again to this pub - had a great lunch and some cool drinks on a very hot day. Too hot to sit outside - despite the sunshades- but it was fine indoors. Staff helpful and friendly.

We stayed on a Friday evening at this great find. Busy but not chaotic, friendly staff with great service & a smile. We had dinner & breakfast both of which were excellent. Brods as a member of the team definitely went the extra mile - we’ll look forward to sending the invite to the TBA party next year!!

We were warmly greeted by Jane and taken to our table. The menu had some great choices including several good wines under £20. After a ciabatta starter, we shared the fish and chips which was lovely. The South African Chenin Blanc was very good and prices overall were very reasonable.

God food at reasonable price, service is excellent, staff are always friendly and a credit too the pub.

Accidentally stumbled across The George Inn on a Saturday afternoon drive; we were met with a thoroughly warm welcome and led to the beautiful beer garden in the back with a brilliantly varied menu to choose lunch from.

Booked a quiet table which had a view of the garden . We were warned about another large group due. Nice atmosphere helpful staff and nice food. Took our time over food.

So many eateries make the hackneyed claim that they serve the best fish & chips in town, the UK, the known universe, etc etc. I haven't visited them all, so I personally can't say which is best, but I really can't remember anywhere being nearly as good as the George at Robertsbridge when we went for a delightful lunch. It probably helped that the cod had, allegedly, come off the boat at Hastings that very morning. The light, non-oily tempura batter also had something to do with it. The double-cooked chips were also perfect. I would go back for this meal alone.

Really lovely pub in this quant village. Nice bar area, good selections of beers and professional, friendly service. Manager seemed a little over keen to show us to the table and take our orders, but as we were mid conversation, we politely asked if we could be given more time; which we were. Starters came at a nice interval and were all very tasty. Likewise, the mains came in a similar manner, but unfortunately one of our party who had ordered ham, egg & chips was offered fish & chips. After a brief, friendly exchange regarding their misunderstanding, the correct meal was presented and whilst the quality of the ham and the chips were excellent, the plate and the generally temperature was not really hot enough. Lovely deserts and cheese followed and we all agreed to meet their again, as it is a nice place with nice atmosphere and good food. We will be back, despite the couple of glitch's.

Set in the historic Sussex village of Robertsbridge, this former 18th century coaching inn is a great place for a meal. From the very friendly welcome, the exceollent service and the excellent menu, you would be haerd pressed to find anywhere better to east, drink and be merry. An extra benefit, if you have a dog, they are welcome as well.

We booked this last minute (10 minutes to go!) on a Saturday night, as we were passing. We were welcomed at the door and shown to our table - where our dog was also welcome. The restaurant was busy. I ordered gluten-free fish and chips and asked that the chips be swapped for sweet potato fries. My, they were gorgeous!! Fresh fish, not taken from a ready prepared packet. Service was excellent, yet discreet. We'll definitely want to return for another meal.

After a long walk around Darwell Reservoir (after two trips of diving down random footpaths we're still yet to find the reservoir ), we were ravenous. We were heading home, planning on ordering a feast of Chinese food, when we saw the historic interest sign for Robertsbridge. On a complete whim we dived off and found the George Inn. It was aroubd 5pm so a bit of an odd time, but luckily they were doing food. We didn't have any expectations, but we were blown away. The halloumi sharing board was delicious. Every mouthful an explosion of flavour. Then roast beef Sunday roast. Now I've had many bits of bad, tough beef, so I'm surprised I went for this as I usually don't 'risk it' anymore, but I'm so glad I did. The beef was soft and tasty and the gravy plentiful (but I was still offered more, which I declined (utterly unheard of) as I didn't need it. Perfectly balanced. We've already planned to go back to try the deserts.

Fabulous, service food wine, people all of it was wonderful, no hassle not anything we could complain about, so go and eat there and enjoy it the way we did.

Today we went back to The George.

The food in the Restaurant is wonderful. Good portions and freshly cooked. the desserts are heavenly. If you are staying in the Pub the breakfasts are marvellous. Not cheap but worth every penny.

We were on a weekend away, and were recommended to eat at The George. The meal was wonderful, the staff were pleasant and helpful, and the atmosphere was great. We thoroughly enjoyed three courses of food, and will certainly visit again when we are in the area. It's dog friendly aswell, and he enjoyed himself too!!

We stayed here as part of a few days away in Kent, it is ideally situated to explore the local area.

Friendly staff that were very helpful and made us feel relaxed. The food was truly scrumptious and ample portions. I would recommend to everyone to visit. The pub had children to older generation really lovely atmosphere.

Our annual visit to this well-presented hostelry. I had the belly-pork - not sure the half hour wait worth it as crackle only half done but a good slab of pork. Despite time taken veg were more than al dente - which takes quite some doing with courgette. However the rump of Romney Marsh lamb was superb. Flavoursome and mouth -melting. Good pint of Franklins too. Dog friendly is an extra bonus. Sorry not to see Jane the landlady as she always takes time to make you feel welcome but the barman was very knowledgeable.

Two night weekend stay at this cosy pub. Staff very welcoming and helpful, rooms comfortable and clean with a superior air, good food and great breakfast. Ideally located on route to Sussex resorts Hastings and Rye.

We used to be regulars many years ago when current owners took over. It was always excellent food of a very high standard!

Found this pub after taking a wrong turn. What a find! Such a warm and friendly welcome. I had ham, egg & chips and it was fantastic! Would have given more stars but only 5 available!

Just happened across this wonderful place while out for a drive.
