picture of Royal George
The Royal George is an excellent little local, next to one of the biggest fire stations we've seen. The colleagues of Captain Flack, Barney McGrew, Dibble et al were not in evidence when we last visited, but what we did get, was a warm and friendly welcome. It's a Shepherd Neame pub so fine pints of Master Brew and Spitfire are available. Attractive stained glass windows at the front, ship models and tankards give the pub's interior character too. Recommended.

second opinion:

This pub has had several managers over recent years. It was also refurbished some time ago and the bar was repositioned. Went there for the first time in 12 years a couple of weekends ago - what a little gem! Good Shepherd Neame ales, the most amazingly clean toilets, live entertainment... and then the bombshell came, after talking with the locals. This pub will close in January 2010 if a buyer isn't found. Me and my wife have fond memories of the George and were thrilled to see it in such a good state. I can honestly say I felt a bit sick when I heard it might close, and one of the locals we spoke to was a bit choked up when he told us.
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
