Famous George Orwell, Hayesback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
No draft Ale but the keg is OK. Staff generally friendly if treated with respect - as so I!
|
Closed just before Xmas 2012, now reopened as Bootlaces Pub. The Guiness is now upto (my) standard.
|
I can't disagree the other reviews but what i can say is the public speak with there feet and they have spoken the Orwell is CLOSED.
|
Previously Rowley's Record Shop, then 'The Moon Under Water'.
Nice Guiness, pleasant staff, now one of my locals on MOndays and Fridays.
|
Sorry but forgot to mention in my last post (11/4) the word "Famous" has been
droped so in now just "The George Orwell"
|
In here last Saturday for the first time in years.
Hard to believe this was once a JDW it�s so small.
There are five had pulld but only two different ales on
Courage Best @ �2.10 a pint and Wells Bombadere @ �2.30

I presume this pub, as it was once a Moons, was named with some connection to the 'Moon Under Water', George Orwell's mythical ideal pub, as Orwell, aka Eric Blair once lived in Hayes. However it is more like the desperate boozer Winston Smith stumbles into in '1984'. For the last week several ales have been 'coming soon' but they have not come.
Why is it called the 'Famous' George Orwell? So people can call it an inn and therefor the 'Innfamous George Orwell'?
