The George Pub in City of London, Westminster

Very nice staff BUT completely overrated food online and the price too expensive for the average standard the truly meal was.

Tuve que visitar después de ver en las redes sociales y no me decepcionó, joya escondida en la calle, pero es una visita obligada. Habíamos reservado el almuerzo y estábamos sentados arriba, que es muy acogedor y bordeando el hacinamiento, ya que el asiento está empacado cerca, esto fue el único negativo para mí, pero la comida era fantástica! Tuvimos el huevo escocés y rasguños de cerdo para empezar y ambos tenían fish & chips como principal de cada tamaño. Definitivamente volvería o posiblemente probaría allí juegos de palabras hermanas la próxima vez.

Fish & Chips was really good and the menu overall looked great id go back to try something else. The service was also top tier

Lovely place to have dinner.. we were seated in the red room on the first floor and it was a nice place to converse and grab a bite with volumes not as high as the ground floor..we ordered all the favorites namely the black pudding scotch eggs, pork scratching, fish and chips and the bone marrow curry with mashed potatoes.. loved the taste nd the look of each of the dishes.. the service was good too. Definitely worth coming back for.

La comida en este restaurante es muy buena; todo estaba delicioso, sin embargo, la cantidad de tiempo que tomó para que la comida saliera fue simplemente demasiado tiempo. Llegamos, pedimos, y tuvimos que esperar una hora ridícula solo para que nuestro aperitivo saliera. En general, probablemente deberías esperar una hora para cada curso.

I saw this pub on 'Eating With Tod' & decided to give it a go. I went first on Sunday night but was told the kitchen closed at 8 pm. So, I went back Monday for lunch! I tried their signature Old Fashioned (comes with a beautifully branded ice block), Scotch Egg & Fish'n'Chips. I loved how the egg was runny & the outer meat didn't separate from the egg that easily. The Fish stands apart here because of the batter & the extra crispy bits they put on top sprinkled with Maldon. The place had nice vibes & polite service.

Pedimos el Trio Roast, todo estaba muy bueno, excepto que las patatas asadas eran crudas, y la carne era muy masticable, rump definitivamente necesita un poco más de cocción. Faltaba servicio, vergüenza, lo estábamos esperando, visto en todas las redes sociales, nos fuimos decepcionados, si estás cobrando precios premium del asado, tiene que ser correcto y tristemente no fue esta vez.

Definitely having a moment on Instagram with food reviewers and I'd say worthy of that. Food is upscale pub/British stuff. Very nice scotch egg, good prawn cocktail (although maybe some brown bread and butter would be good with it), quirky pork scratchings. We went on a Sunday and no one wanted a roast so only a few main courses on: burger, ish and chips and a paneer curry. We had burgers and small fish and chips. Burger served medium and super tasty. Fish and chips has extra battered scraps on top. Too full for pudding. Lovely service. Very good Guinness. It is pricey though.

¡Estuvo genial! Había un menú agradable y nuestro servidor era muy servicial! Toda la comida era muy buena y nos gustó mucho!

The food was amazing. We ordered fish and chips and warm parker house bread rolls. The staff were friendly and the wait time was short. The pub is 11mins walk from Portland train station.

Expensive but great atmosphere, all walks of life 👍

Amazing food! The fish and chips were great, very crispy batter, the scotch egg was amazing, and the porks scratchings were so nice. The staff was great very attentive and helpful.

A great old London pub, we had bar snacks that were very tasty, served a decent pint but I never seem to get the best pint in London, good service, was nice and busy, only let down was the building work, the whole pub is covered in scaffold and plastic sheeting Still good though Thank you

We had a lovely lunch on a recent trip to London. The food was good and our server, Dean, was great.

What a great spot in London! We visited from TN and Nicola put on March Madness so we wouldn’t miss the big game! Sunday Roast was wonderful and the Scotch egg was delish. Highly recommend!

Wonderful pub lunch, highly recommend 👍

Came with a large group over the weekend. A few of us ordered the steak and chips and asked for it to be cooked medium and it came really rare couldn’t finish it. The atmosphere and service were very good.

It's not what Instagrammers publish

The best gastro-pub in London!

Beautiful old world pub. Creamy pints of Guinness, possibly the best in London. Exceptional food and even better Irish coffees. We will be back soon!

The service is lovely and the atmosphere great but their fish and chips, £26 and it is not the best chippy I’ve tried. If you’re looking for a great one, Mayfair Chippy or Poppies

Ok. Wish I could have tried the food, but you need to book well in advance if you want to eat here, even if you're by yourself (one person), in March. Plenty of good places elsewhere that have room for 1!

Decent place, classic pub, food is really tasty. Prices are normal for central London

Great roast dinner here, with friendly accommodating staff.

Service is great, attentive and friendly. You could always find someone when you needed them. Came for St. Patricks Day and received Irish coffees on the house, which was a lovely gesture. The food is really good, albeit a tad expensive (curry sauce for £3.75 is steep in my view) Guinness was good. We did the Paddys Day quiz, which was good fun although at times we struggled to hear the quizmaster as the pub was quite noisy at times. Overall it's an excellent place to come for some food and a few drinks and I'll definitely return and sample their a la carte menu next time.

A warm welcome, good food and gloriously good Guinness. Dog friendly too. We'll definitely return.

Really disappointing experience. Having visited a few times before, my friend booked, on my recommendation, to have lunch with a friend and to watch the rugby. We arrived a few minutes early and our table wasn’t ready, which is ok, and we were shown to a smaller bar upstairs to wait there, which seemed great rather than just standing in the way. Upon entering this small room/bar, there was a member of The George team, in the staff T-shirt behind the bar, to whom I said “Hi there, how’s it going?” And they proceeded to stare at me for a second, before ignoring me and going back to whatever they were doing and walking out. Another guest who was in there even looked at me raised an eyebrow and he passed me the drinks menu, not the member of staff. My friend and I waited in there and after it had got to 10-15 minutes after our booking time, I went to ask if they knew when we would be seated to be told “yeah, yeah, it’ll be a few more minutes we’re just setting the table” and the person walked off. I went back to the bar to find my friend. We were then told our table was ready, but the member of staff disappeared for a moment without us knowing which table was ours. When they returned, and showed us to the table, I said “just as a bit of feedback” and mentioned being ignored earlier and rather than a “I’m sorry” or some form of acceptance that ignoring a client is rude, the host said “oh that’s not his job, he isn’t a host”, kept repeating that line, and couldn’t seem to wrap her head around ignoring someone who has come into your business, because you’re not a host, still isn’t acceptable. We were seated at the same time as another table, who then walked out and were replaced by other guests a few minutes later, who then got served and had their drinks order taken before us. At this point we were told our first drinks would be free due to the wait for our table, and we said no, we were happy to pay our way, and had to reiterate that as they kept insisting the two pints would be free which was just awkward. We appreciated the gesture, but hadn’t asked for it and when we said, no, we’d pay, it really should have ended there. Once food and such arrived, the staff then checked in too much, my friend and I believe as they realised we were a little annoyed, to the point that when I had a third of a pint left, one chap asked me if I had finished it and tried to clear it. The food itself is usually quite good at The George and I enjoyed my starters and mains, and my friend and I both enjoyed the dessert, however he ordered a large portion of fish and chips and appeared to get a medium, with we believe his going to another table. The fish and chips he did get seemed too oily/greasy, and has since been left feeling unwell. Overall, staff really dragged things down, I’m still confused about being ignored and then having someone repeatedly try to justify that as being acceptable because the person wasn’t a host. The over attention after, and then at the end, after being sat near 20 minutes late for our booking, being given our bill, without it asked for, before our slot was up, to ensure we were out, left us feeling not particularly welcome. The George is a place I have enjoyed visiting on a number of occasions, but I won’t be back, I don’t like being ignored and then having someone repeatedly tell me the person ignoring me isn’t there to say hello and it’s ok, because he isn’t a host.

Everything was fine. Totally delicious cocktails.

I only drank a couple of beers. I didn't try the food but the service was okay. The pub was full and it is very small.

Great London pub. Fantastic food and service. Plenty of seating inside. I went just after opening (12) and had a choice of seats. One for beer lovers. Some great breweries on tap. Food was the highlight. Varied menu choices. Recommend the Black pudding scotch egg.

Lovely pub and delicious food !

Excellent fish and chips. La sauce aux câpres est un délice !!! Très copieux voire même trop copieux !! Je recommande à 100%

The George on the corner of Mortimer and Great Portland Streets is a lovely dark timber lined pub offering a wide choice of keg and cask beers. Great service and a thoroughly pleasant place to stop for a drink.

We had a great dinner for 6 upstairs in the green room. The pub downstairs was extremely busy and we had a pint before our reservation. Our table was ready and we were impressed with the atmosphere and comfy furniture provided. I thought the fish&chips were very good and everyone seemed happy with their other dishes like the venison pie. The star of the show was the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Service was professional and gave us all the time we needed to catchup with old friends. Thank you!

Great old school pub with friendly service and a fish and chips worth a detour for. The apple crumble desert was heavenly.

Great pub with a genuine feel, friendly expert bar staff and good beer.

Pranzo a Londra il sabato pomeriggio, locale bello all'interno ma a mio avviso eccessivamente caro. Siamo in 6 e prendiamo varie cose : Fish and chips, scotched egg (molto buono), cheesburger, insalata bacon e petto di pollo, piatto indiano con il maiale. Per 1 piatto principale e 1 birra a testa, prezzo sui 45 euro a persona, non giustificato a mio avviso. Considerando che Londra è molto molto cara, alla fine ci può anche stare per assaggiare dei piatti tipici (come le uova, venison pie e altre cose), ma non aspettatevi che sia conveniente.

Una cena muy agradable para cuatro en el comedor de arriba - la comida y el servicio eran excelentes. Como dijo el crítico en el Financial Times, "Maldita sea casi perfecto". No te dejes llevar por el andamio exterior - interior, todo en el interior es punta - condición superior.

Lunch in London on Saturday afternoon, nice place inside but in my opinion excessively expensive. There are 6 of us and we take various things: fish and chips, scotched egg (very good), cheeseburger, bacon and chicken breast salad, Indian dish with pork. For 1 main course and 1 beer each, the price is around 45 euros per person, not justified in my opinion. Considering that London is very very expensive, in the end you can also stay there to taste some typical dishes (such as eggs, venison pie and other things), but don't expect it to be cheap.

Very lively place with good food. Try the venison pie!

Visitó el 8 de febrero para ver el Six Nations Rugby (Inglaterra v Francia) y tuvo una experiencia realmente positiva. El personal era tan atento, el servicio era excelente y a pesar de lo ocupado que estaba The George, el ambiente era excelente. Agradecido de que pudimos reservar una mesa con antelación, la pantalla estaba bien posicionada y el ambiente era genial. Gracias a todo el personal que lo hizo una gran visita - ustedes trabajan increíblemente duro para hacer The George tan grande como es!

Nice atmosphere, bit pricey for the pints though.

What looked potentially nice was very very average. Food was all incredibly bland, right down the trifle. All dishes that you would have expected to be rich in flavour were somewhat lack lustre. It’s attempting to be the Devonshire but misses the mark yet carries a hefty price. Noise from downstairs also makes for a terrible atmosphere.

Got the Sunday roast and boy was it a platter! The sauces complemented the meats very well, and the vibe was vibing. It was a lot of food so bring your hungry bellies!

Great pub Sunday roast, one of the best in London.

disgusting, smelly, urine all over the toilets, broken glass all over the pavement. clueless and self-absorbed clientele making it impossible to navigate around the pavement as well. staff do FA about controlling any of this

Went here for dinner last week. Fish and chips! Ate upstairs which is quieter and nicer.

⚠️Closes at 11pm (not 12am as it says on Google Map). 💰Service charge 13.5% and £1 for a bottle of tap(?) water added to the bill. 🍽️ Good but expensive. Had a fried chicken burger and chips (£18.5) and a spicy margarita (£14). The marg was pretty nice actually, esp for a pub. 📋 Interesting and good range of menu, the pub classics and a few unique dishes. Expensive! If say £50 pp with a starter £10, main £25 plus a drink £15. 💡The place is small and gets crowded quickly. But turnover is fast too. 3 of us walked in at 7:30pm on a Tues, got nice seats.

Worst London pub food ever - and despite having many good meals in pubs over the years that’s a low bar. Several of us couldn’t even finish our meal. Staff had a serious attitude as well which just added insult to injury. Just say no.

Me and 2 friends spent the day in the west end from the jeff beck exhibition near green park to Bradley's and the social. We heard the music but the pub looked closed due to the scaffolding. But what a wonderful surprise. When we went in. A great solo guitarist knocking out the classics with a great voice. Lovely staff and best of a great pint of huiness and pale ale. I hope no one reads this review. It's my new No.1 west end pub. Top marks to the team behind the refit and running it. Top marks all round.

The fish and chips are extraordinary, the best in the town, i am speechless, i ate it at Berties in Edinburg, the George is getting high with 12 points from myside

Tried just scotch eggs, but too greasy for my taste.

Not many options on menu, but enjoyed the fish and chips. It was huge. Maybe a bit pricey overall.

It's so dark that I can't even see the text on the menu (I think it's a concept, but why...) The staff is very friendly. You can just drink without ordering food. I ordered fish and chips and butter chicken. The food tastes just average.

Really good food and atmosphere. Great recommendations from Dean for food and drinks. Keep doing the great work and thank you !

Amazing Pub with so much history and a really authentic feel

We had the Sunday Roast and it was absolutely delicious. The lamb was so well cooked it melted in your mouth and the potato’s were very crunchy and delicious.

Sarah is a breath of fresh air and provided amazing service, especially considering she was on a busy floor all by herself! 10/10

Really nice place to go, great atmosphere always! Come here with me and my pals all the time, greeted amazingly by one of the staff Toby every time. Staff are really friendly and create a great environment for community.

Fantastic experience at The George! The food was top-notch, and Pedro’s service was impeccable – friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. Can’t wait to return!

I was so excited to try The George, I'd booked for 8 of us to have dinner there in the dining room about 5 weeks in advance (with it being the festive period). I had a call 2days before my reservation to check we were still able to come. The lady on the phone asked 'are you happy to sit downstairs?' to which I said yes as I assumed it would be a downstairs area of the restaurant. Instead it was a table in the pub section and it was extremely rowdy/busy and we couldn't hear one another well over the noise. In the end we ended up having to leave and find somewhere else to eat which was SO a shame as the menu looked so delicious. If you're going then make sure they don't seat you in the pub for dinner! To respond to the below, we were absolutely not offered a table upstairs within 30 mins, we were simply told that upstairs was fully booked and they could not accommodate us so we had to leave to find another restaurant. I booked a table for 8 people, 5/ 6 weeks in advance! So we were a large group! When I was phoned about the booking I was simply asked if "downstairs was alright?" To which I answered yes as I assumed it would still be the dining room and not the pub floor! There was no mention of the dining room being 'fully booked' and that we would have to be seated in the pub area. As I said above I booked a long way in advance as we were a party of 8. I'm really disappointed by the inaccuracies in your reply here but thank you for providing an email address.

Five of us stopped for a drink and took advantage of the comfortable room to talk calmly. Wide choice of drinks (being a teetotaler I appreciated that you could also drink apple/orange juice). The fries we ordered were also good. Friendly staff! Excellent location

I really wanted to like the George but unfortunately the food was let down by long wait times, fatty cuts and missing items. For over £70 a head it feels wrong to be waiting nearly an hour for a Sunday roast, especially as after waiting we were told there is no pork. No real apology or ask if they could substitute/if we wanted to change our order, more told 'were going to give you extra of the beef and lamb’. It seemed to just be replaced with more lamb (only 6 slices of beef between four people). The lamb was overly fatty and some pieces inedible. Portion size for the price was small considering it was supposed to be between four. (One bowl of vegetables, two half potatoes per person). The starters and cocktails were good, and the atmosphere was nice, but sadly the meal felt like a let down. I’d go for drinks and bar snacks, or wait until the Christmas season is over.

The Green Room is a great little snug type room off the main pub. Was great to have your own private space whilst being so close to the action.

Awful food service. We were there for Christmas menu at £75 per head and the dinner came at 10 minute intervals and finally we did not get any veg... We had booked a private room (the green room)and it was a disaster. Never go ther it os a rip off and the food is awful

Such a lovely pub , very authentic with amazing food. Loved the bubbly wine. Will definitely be back soon.

Food was cold and unseasoned. We were sat at the door which opened often and allowed cold in.

I would recommend booking upstairs for dinner. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and kind. We went on my husband's birthday. They even had a card for him when we arrived! The food was nice and the decor was lovely

Outstanding food, perfect service and a stunning decor - can’t recommend the Indian dishes such as the onion bhaji and the chilli and coriander toastie enough!! Our server was great and the upstairs seating area is so beautiful. Will definitely be back! Came back for dinner and it was incredible - highly recommend the Sunday roast, the paneer curry and their English sparkling wines.

Un lugar fantástico para reunirse con amigos para bebidas casuales y buena comida. Es un pub clásico de Londres, pero con una gran vibra y comida que es digna del bombo.

Really really good Sunday roast! I love the interior, and the little green room upstairs is a perfect place for a long Sunday lunch. Super friendly service also. The beef could have been more tender and the potatoes have more salt, but the meat was perfectly cooked and all the trimmings were super flavourful, especially the red cabbage. Next level Bloody Mary, and the Welsh rarebit croquettes were amazing. Prices are quite steep, but for the quality and the location, it’s reasonable

A pub in which you simply feel good Definitely my favorite pub that I visited during a trip to London. Beautiful interior is really cosy and relaxing, music is not too loud, so you can easily talk. Wide selection of very good beer, I really enjoyed hazy (don't remember the exact name). Scotch egg, which I had for the first time, was well prepared.

Great food , fish and chips was incredible huge potion and they do an amazing Guinness

Excellent place!! Good atmosphere, good service and good food. It was our first time at The George and we will return. Excellent place!! Good atmosphere, good service and good food. It was our first time at The George and we will definitely return

Extremely disappointed in their Sunday roast!

Unfortunately just does not live up to the instagram hype. A bang average London pub. Sorry

Amazing Scott egg! Lovely atmosphere for a Friday night. We were sat upstairs but the pub was lively. I also had the new hot dog which was nice. They're not very veggie friendly tho. There were options but not many but for the rest of menu it was great

As always great! The Sunday roast is amazing!

Lovely pub, great food and kind staff 😁

Gorgeous pub in a great location. The Guinness was good and the food was absolutely delicious.

An average pub with over inflated prices! About £11 for a house red wine glass is just bonkers!!

Revived by an mazing Bloody Mary and brought back to life by a perfect pint of Guinness. Many Thanks!

Thank you to The George, London, where the Sunday roast was truly an absolute hit. Offered here are chicken, beef, lamb and vegetarian (in the form of a mushroom and celeriac pithivier). Roast potatoes are simply delectable - fluffy innards and crisp seasoned outers. I find a roast potato often sets the standard for the rest of the plate. Wine selection and service were very good: we weren’t hurried off our table but were gently nudged shortly before the next booking. Points for improvement? The cauliflower cheese, which was lacking in cheese, and the mushroom sauce for the veggie roast could be more plentiful and spreadable.

Really excellent experience. Delicious food and genuine enthusiasm and passion from staff. We had a lovely meal and I will be back soon for sure.

Oh my life, my family and I had an unforgettable meal at The George, London. There may possibly be other pubs in London named 'The George', but make no mistake; no others compare. The atmosphere was great and Pedro was the most sincere and wonderful experience manager we could have asked for. Much appreciated everyone 🙏 ❤️

Oh dear, noisy, smelly and totally unorganised! Not sure where to begin, booked a table for 5 but when we arrived only table for 4 was reserved. Had to wait for 30min till another was found. The meal did not arrive for a party of 5 together, one of us had to wait another 10min for his to arrive. All may be forgiven, but inedible roast beef on a Sunday in an English pub is unacceptable. We won’t be back

Food and drinks were yummy. Ambience and service were all great!

Fantastic buzzy pub, great service and the Irish women in the white shirt was amazing

The Gorege used to be lovely pub few years back but currently went down hill because off stew the manger !!!

Well I think we have hit the Sunday roast Jackpot. Ordered the roast sharing plate and certainly were not disappointed. It was also a nice touch having a selection of different gravies. The beef gravy was one of the best that I have had.

Good service and scotch egg. Beef slices for Sunday roast much thinner than pictured

Simply an original, good service, delicious food, ambience, perfect!!!

Like David Beckham claiming you have a strong right foot, as a fat American, I can honestly say this is the best fried Chicken I’ve ever had. (The much less fat GF says it’s phenomenal with the “English Fizz” (aka champagne) to boot)

One of the best Sunday Roasts I’ve had. For a starter, we split the Scotch Egg and Prawn Salad. The Scotch Egg was perfect. The Prawn Salad was okay, but doesn’t take away from the 5 Stars. We split the sampler roast (beef/chicken/lamb), it was outstanding! Enough for 3 or 4 people. We didn’t go away hungry. Service and food was excellent, Keep up the great job!

Really disappointing Sunday roast, after reading all the reviews I decided to take my family for a birthday meal. Nothing was seasoned and I had to salt almost every single component of the meal. Service was a bit slow and thought everything was overpriced sadly.

Excellent Sunday roast. Love the scotch egg and sticky toffee pudding! Beef was lovely.

The Guinness and food is great, I have eaten at The George three times and it’s been faultless each time. Mark has always been so welcoming and accommodating when I’ve been in with my young children. I believe it’s the best service I’ve received in a pub in London. Thank you Mark.

The fish and chips is so good that it will make you forget that your wife is cheating on you.

Highly recommend. Excellent ambience. Very friendly & efficient service. Great food.

A lovely dining experience and atmosphere! Emma my waitress was a joy to meet and the Fish and Chips, The Best I Ever Had! I also enjoyed the welsh rarebit croquettes, mushy/mash peas, and The George Fruit Trifle (great recommendation Emma!).
