    We stayed at Leeds Castle for 1 night and this pub was at walking distance (15 min each way). Service was superb and we had a good time. We had the steak pie, the gammon and a starter plate, everything was tasty and big portions. Free wifi was available and san Miguel on tap. They had high chair for our baby. The owners served us themselves so you can imagine the treatment was really good.

    Had lunch here today. Faultless. Superb food and really friendly service. Shepherde Neame so beer wax obviously excellent. A beautiful interior. If you are going to eat here be aware of one thing though - the portions are VERY generous! Best not to eat any crisps or snacks before you order! 😁

    Arrive early for Sunday roast, we got there at 3pm and they were out of beef. So had lamb again. A seriously long wait for starters and mains and each dessert when we ordered was sold out. My friend tried for creme brulee, lemon sorbet and ice cream, all sold out. Really? The saving grace a compensatory fruit salad and crayons. I have raved about portions (still huge) and brought friends to get that "traditional pub feel" very close to the castle. however this being my third visit, the wait (people were someone how getting their roast before us!) is the reason I have edited to 3 stars. Free parking at the back remains a bonus!

    Nice pub for food and drinks with proper service for a change! Thanks to all the staff and have a great Xmas. Parking can be tricky when busy as not many side roads to park on when car park full.

    Really nice, welcoming pub. We had a meal there and the staff were helpful and efficient. 🤩 The food was well cooked pub grub. The batter on the fish and chips was crispy, the fish pie was yummy and the veggie burgers were filling. 😋👍🏻 Chips were good, and the cheeseboard at the end was enormous with a great selection of cheeses! Just be warned the portions are very generous- you should be hungry when you arrive...😁

    Had a really lovely meal, before seeing the lights at the Castle. Will definitely be visiting again. Need to see if the rest of the menu is as good. Lovely friendly staff.

    Driven passed lots of times, always looks welcoming. Had our Christmas meet up on Tuesday and wasn't disappointed. Food was excellent, service was spot on, the atmosphere was full of Christmas. This will NOT be my last visit. Thank you for a very happy evening.

    The George managed to squeeze us in at the last minute, in an already busy pub. On arrival the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. Food and drink ordering was fast and the wait for our food was minimal. Food arrived really hot and was tasty, proper pub grub. Would definitely go again.

    I’ve often eaten here with my elderly parents and loved the home cooked food and atmosphere. When my Dad passed away we decided to hold a celebration of his life here, as it was his favourite local. We hired “The Hayloft” and it was an absolutely amazing space. The food was exceptional and service superb. Every guest complimented the location, food and service so thank you Jason and your amazing wife, you and your team looked after us and did my Dad proud. I look forward to booking a table over the festive period. Kind Regards Paul

    Lovely Kentish village pub at the heart of the community. I had a sausage and onion sandwich on ciabatta roll - and it came with chips and salad! My wife went for a light prawn cocktail. Great service and very friendly.

  • 5/5 Stuart 1 year ago on Google

    Great food, wonderful service, and a delightful soundtrack of soft 80s jazz. Would highly reccomend.

    Impromptu visit but got a table in the busy restaurant. Good food and friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Chris G. 9 months ago on Google
    Great dinner spot. Quaint but roomy pub. Staff and atmoshpere were incredible. Think traditional pub and you are there. All the main dishes are here, with a little culinary flair that sets this place apart. The lamb and bangers were amazing, gravy for the mash is top grade. Desserts were as great as the main, reccomend the custard 100% on any steamed pudding. Thanks to the staff for an amazing time

    The George Inn is a warm, inviting and very friendly place. Only 4 for now because I haven’t eaten a full meal. That said I was very lucky as the wonderful staff were soon busy with a full house The delicious hearty Pea and Mint soup with crusty bread hit the spot mid-way through my long Boxing Day walk in beautiful sunshine. Just the job The Gorge Inn has been on my list for a while but always just passing through. Now I know Jason the Gent Landlord I will be going again soon Thank you Jason, Ed and the lovely Lasses

    Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, the food was tasty, plenty of choice (including daily specials) and the portions were generous. The ale was also good and fresh.

  • 5/5 Mike L. 1 year ago on Google
    We were recommended to this place by one of the staff at Leeds Castle, it did not disappoint! Cosy pub with a nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Food was reasonably priced and very good quality, would love to return if I'm nearby in the future. Car park round the back.

    11 years since I've returned here with my wife and it was absolutely lovely! The reply for a table on Facebook was instant and the service was fast! Also would like to point out that the food quality was very very good for the prices! Well served and the presentation was top notch 👌

  • 5/5 Mark C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent quality food. All four different meals were of a very high quality and reasonable price. They have Bishops Finger on hand pump and it was excellent. House wines reported as good. I only partook of the 🍺.

  • 5/5 Mary C. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff were lovely. The food great. A thought, it would be a good idea if the elderly could have a choice of a smaller portion. Thank you for our lovely lunch today x

    I had the vegan curry at the George Inn today, it tasted amazing, great colour, rice, chutney, naan and popadom. Not cheap at £12.95 but I was happy to pay this price. Unfortunately there are no vegan starters or desserts so I cannot comment on those. It's a really welcoming, well run pub, warm and friendly.
