| This is a pub well worth avoiding, the service is very slow with unmanned wasted bar space downstairs. They have a reasonable choice of beer but get so busy at times it's not worth the wait. They have a late licence and it gets busier than they can handle, with people trying to get a last drink before heading home. The worst thing about this pub is the staff's attitude when it comes to closing time, as there's an outside areaat the front fo the pub ie: the street (that is if you want to stand and watch people queing up to get into G.A.Y.) they are very pushy when it comes to letting you cross the premesis boundry when trying to use the loo before going home. I was pushed off the premesis even though I had been drinking there for an hour and a half and told, 'Were closed, you can't come back in.' When this happened to a friend of mine a few months later the staff not only kept him off the premesis they also told him to urinate in the street! Which I think is a public order offence. A bad attitude towards customers means they lose them. They should sort their act out and stop being so offensive. Normy - 11 Feb 2010 19:44 |
| Now here was a real suprise, went out last Friday, now I came here years ago, before a gig, it was always that dingy little pub that you went too before a gig only because it was the closest place, the service was never good and it always looked dirty. However things have most definatly changed, it looked great, it was well cared for, people eating at most tables, but still that same friendly vibe. But the best bit was when, I ordered my pint of ale and was shocked, when the bar man actually took the time to tell me about a new guest ale they had, this was while the pub was busy and he was also serving someone else as well !!! The ale was great and the rest of our night was fantastic, I will be back. petesinclair81 - 18 Jan 2010 15:46 |

| Emily1983 and dez_93200, I notice you are both new, ‘one-time’ posters and in your mid twenties. Although you make some attempt to restrain your ‘reviews’ they essentially read like advertising puffs. This leads me to conclude you are either the new owner(s), bar-staff or in some way connected to the venue. It may well be that the Royal George has improved of late, in which case-great, because it needed to. However, anyone who is not a casual user of the site can see through self-promotional guff like this at a stroke. (Five reviews in a year, then two in a week? Hmmm.) It might be worth taking on board that ultimately, it tends to backfire on the venue. Finally, I stand by everything I said about my visit to the RG at the time. aleandhearty - 2 Sep 2009 15:18 |
| I was really shocked by the reviews I've read here, I was at the Royal George last week on a Friday and I had a great time. Albeit I haven't been in a for a long time and I grasp that they're under new management so obviously these reviews are reaaaallllyyyy old. I didn't experience anything of the sort. The new manager has obviously thought to hire a new vibrant team that actually want to work, I was served by a all of the staff throughout the night and had a nice chat with one of the barmaids about the different live bands performing in the pub. Great atmosphere, really eclectic crowd. I quite like the range of lagers (nothing like Carling, Kronenberg or Fosters ew). I had one of their huge burgers from the BBQ which was really nice, chef was really smiley, which is weird for a chef in my experience!!! ha All in all, I had a good night and recommend for people to come and see the good changes in the place! emily1983 - 2 Sep 2009 14:30 |
