Very dissapointing after a good visit to the Great Eastern opposite,more hotel like than a pub,my pint of Hepworths Harvest was flat and uninspiring,at £3.50 a pint i would expect better,my mates pint of Pullman was in similar condition at £3.60. Wont be back.

Down from London for a business meeting that finished at 2.30 we were delighted to come across this splendid pub. Great food - vegetarian moussaka and mushroom risotto - friendly staff, pleasant ambience and 3 good beers of differing strengths/styles that offered a real choice.
Will definitely make a point of revisiting next time am in Brighton.

Once upon a nice pub with a beer garden, The George has apparently now become a petty, rude and homophobic pub with new management.
We went there with a group of about 15 and later at night, when the pub was less than half full, we asked the manager if he could turn down the loud, horrible music and he said it's company policy. When we told him it's bad customer management he insulted us by saying we have been there for a while and not getting many drinks and that I should go home if I want a lime cordial and soda water. Out of the 15 people only 2 had soda&lime cordial and the rest were drinking alcoholic beverages and two people had dinner. When we said we're leaving the manager acted very rude and directed homophobic insults, justifying it by saying he can say it as he's gay.
I have never seen such a bad customer service and will never step in this pub under the current management.
The Great Eastern across the street is much more friendly.

I used to really like the George. It taken over by new owners earlier this year. The burgers, home cooked fries etc are ok, but I found the other items (thai curry, chill etc) were pretty bland though. The old management was a lot more vegan friendly - it isn't now - nothing is labelled vegan on the menu, you have to guess/ask and I did overhear the chef moaning about fussy eaters in the kitchen when I requested a vegan version of the falafel burger. The new owners have a dog and seem to welcome customers' dogs, which I'm sure is great if you're a dog owner, not great if you're allergic and don't want to slobbered on my a huge, smelly hound whilst trying to eat.

I have visited this pub several times over the last couple of years ,normally on midweek evenings and it always seemed to be practically empty while The Great Eastern across the road always seems to be rammed.
On my most recent visit all the ales were off, so we did'nt bother staying and on the previous visit there seemed to be some new barstaff on as they had trouble pulling a pint.
