My group did enjoy our lunch overall at this pub today and the servers were generally friendly and helpful. However, I was absolutely appalled to have the server who took my order come back over after I had already started eating to tell me there was in fact butter in part of my dish (the mushy peas) despite that I had been abundantly clear when I placed the order that I have an allergy to dairy. When I asked how on earth this had happened, he responded that he thought it was just an intolerance. I cannot explain how angry it makes me that this venue could be putting people’s lives at risk like that and in any case, whether an allergy or “just” an intolerance, the kitchen should always be notified and should never have let a plate with any dairy go out. I hope the server himself learned from this and that he did in fact feed the error back to the kitchen as I requested. While I am grateful that my meal was not charged for, I now have a waiting game to see if I have a full reaction (over and above the minor reaction I had at the time) to the thankfully only tiny amount I ate as my symptoms are usually slightly delayed onset. Not taking allergies seriously can kill people and this venue needs to be FAR more careful. As a side note, I would add that sadly the fish and chips was a bit flavourless although it may of course be better with the addition of the mushy peas.

Great dining experience. Special shout out to Vanessa, Pablo and Kitty who, in their own ways, made our lunch special and gave us great recommendations for food and drinks! Pablo was very attentive to my allergy needs so thank you!!!

Had a lovely Sunday roast here the other week!From the atmosphere to the incredible service, we had an amazing experience at The George!Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a small and cosy place to eat a Sunday roast — or grab a pint — in the heart of London!

They pull an excellent Guinness, sling delicious cocktails and serve some magical food. What a wonderful reprieve from the horrors of Oxford Street.

I’m honestly confused as to how this place gets such a high recommendation so I felt as though I should write a review.Service was terrible. Took 45 minutes for a roast to come out. Roast was very bland. Had a sharing roast between two. Chicken was very average. Beef was good but lamb was very bland. Vegetables very average. No frills, no seasoning. Yorkshire pudding was massive and only two very small pots of gravy provided. Asked for more gravy and was charged £4 ?. Also charged for tap water!?Got seated in the bar area on very small tables. Very uncomfortable and when eating, hunched over on a small bar stool with no room on the table, I am shocked when paying £36 for a roast dinner that this is the atmosphere, food and service provided. Was only asked if we wanted a drink at the start and empty glasses throughout the rest of the sitting. In all honesty, I wouldn’t believe the hype and I’d save your money!Finally the sticky toffee pudding was nice but clotted cream on top is such a strange combo and added 0 to the dish.I never write negative reviews but this was one time we felt something should be said.

We just had drinks but managed to find a table despite the rugby being on and it was super busy…..Very friendly place! We chatted to the people on both adjacent tables. Very noisy; great atmosphere. Guinness on tap. Particularly liked the gold plated toilet brush!

One, by my standards, an expensive inferior beer...

Lovely pub, housed in a beautiful building.The staff are friendly, and my pint was spot on.I love pubs like this!
We only went for a few drinks. We entered the pub, heard the live music and for a moment thought we might not be able to hear ourselves talk. But, who cares?!?!? We ended up staying, dancing, singing with the crowd! Amazing atmosphere ✨ definitely for those who love a good English pub and some good Dolly Parton, Beatles and hey, T.Swift too?
Uknow
Apple lemonade was so good.And restroom was so clean.

Very nice atmosphere. We were surprised when we saw the whole PUB atmosphere on the ground floor but there is a great dining room upstairs. the service is great. the food is really good and very reasonable prices for London. We advise.

I love this pub. Have been here for a roast on a Sunday which was incredible! But also on a Saturday night to listen to live music. Always a welcoming atmosphere and a lively vibe. One of my fav pubs.
