EATING
AT THE GEORGE

We offer an exciting blend of seasonal modern, classic traditional dishes, inspired by the cultural melting pot that is British cuisine. Diners can enjoy the convivial and bustling ambiance of the pub and café, or dine in our new 65 cover restaurant. In the summer, alfresco a la carte dining is also available, whether full a la carte in George's Herb Garden, or simple casual dining in the rest of the garden from George's Grill. Serving breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and of course Sunday lunch, you’ll never go hungry at The George. Give the gift of George - we also offer gift vouchers in denominations of £20 upwards.
