please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The whole concept of a site like this is so that in anonimity you can share your honest opinion of your experiences.
Whilst I don't expect everyone to agree with my views (and I'm happy to be contradicted) it's a shame when some revert to personal abuse.
I've always given a forthright and blunt appraisal of my experiences - not for gain or malice - and If you don't them, well that's unfortunate, but abuse wont stop me giving them.
Hope you agree with my next appraisal, but quite frankly I don't care.

The Pub Ghost talks utter nonsense as per usual. The staff are vibrant and vivacious. Something to bring a smile on the face of anyone with a pulse.
Ghost's do not exist, however The Pub Ghost is a real entity, albeit a gross abomination of manhood.
Thankfully, the obesity of which should put pay to his rants in short order.
A happy day for all when this happens.
Your cloak of anonymity will wear thin and you will be seen for what you are.

It's a whole different ballgame now. A third of a Million has been well spent giving the George the facelift it deserved and judging buy the first few weeks it's been a success.
Principally a restaurant now, but better that than the dump it was before and now with drinkable Beers and Lagers it's worth a visit for a meal, snack or just a tipple.
Hopefully in time some mature staff who will have the time for conversation - currently kids too busy with their own affairs, but hey, it's like a new pair of shoes which need to be broken in.

thepubghost, your name obviously describes you well, ghosts have long gone and so will your comments on this website, you should be ashamed of yourself, if you had the bottle why not speak directly to the staff, i can see why you hide behind a website, its probably to do with the lack of manhood you seem not to posses,
Small minded people exist everywhere it just so happens we in Wraysbury have more than our fair share, grow up pubghost, get a pair of cohonas, we know who you are, have a look in the mirror, your exactly the kind of person this village can do without.
wait till low cost housing is built on the site, then you really will have something to really worry about.

PubGhost's usual rant (every few weeks!)
He/she obviously has a major axe to grind. Staff in this pub all speak English - a lot better than he can spell, and to talk about drugs and slops is just idiotic.
Move on Ghost - to another pub or, better still, to another country which caters for biased and racist trolls.

Sorry to disillusion you but keg returners are commonly available for about �60 in the back pages of the Publicans Morning Advertiser and others, and are in common usage in far too many pubs.

thePubGhost - I Find Your Comments about the staff not being able to speak English extremely offensive as the staff are all British born and have native accents. I feel the pigmentation of their skin may be clouding your views of them. - You seem like a fat internet troll with not a lot going on in your life.
If you feEL we were putting Slops back into the Kegs I would be happy to show you our cellar, you would find the barrels are rigged up in such a way this is physically impossible. Instead you take your presumptions and try turn them into truth via forum slander .. Yes you are a fat internet troll with nothing going on in your life.
We do not permit illegal drinking, drugs on the premises, underage drinking or cars doings wheel spins in car park and if any of these situations ever happened on our premises the situation would be resolved with the most professional etiquette.
Our glasses are not dirty nor our beer bad and if you disagree we would appreciate you not coming back to the pub as the sweat from the underneath of your man breasts is causing notorious odours that our air freshener is struggling to cover.... we know who you are and don�t appreciate the abuse being posted about our pub in this forum.. i hope you find an outlet other than abuse on forums to fulfil the voids in your life and wish you the best in the future.
Best Regards,
Management.

CORRECTION ** CORRECTION ** CORRECTION ** CORRECTION ** CORRECTION
I had predicted that the George was to become an Indian Restaurant (as I was told by the man who currently ownes the lease).
IT HAS IN FACT BEEN TURNED INTO A TOILET.
Staff unable to speak my language, bad beer, illegal drinking, loud music, drugs on the premesis, dirty glasses, underage drinking, cars doings wheel spins in car park... YEP, IT'S A TOILET
I know there are some Lagers on sale which are cloudy, but Peroni should be crystal clear. I am reliably informed that the only reason lager is cloudy is because the management return the slops to the Keg.
|
As I predicted 12 months ago, another English Pub bites the dust to be turned into an Indian restaurant (dont we have enough of them around here?).
I just hope it's a classy one, but am told it will also have a bar.
The Percy, the field is yours.
|
Like Rats leaving a sinking ship the multi-layers of management and hangers on have evaporated and the George has now reverted back to 1) the actual owners & 2) their leasing company.
At least there is more change of some action now, however serious money is required to turn The Goerge into what it could be - a successful Pub restaurant -and in today's world it'll be a brave operator who takes it on.
I predict The Percy will be 'the only Pub in the Village' for some considerable time.

12/01/2011: Last week this sad Pub tried to turn itself into a late night music and dancing venue. The management only succeeded in shooting themselves in the foot as the views and complaints from 50 or so objectors were reported in the local press... Everything from the Vicar saying he can remeber it when it was a nicePub and he wouldn't want to go in, to it coming out that the owner was asked to 'help Police with their inquiries' regarding a kidnapping at another licenced premesis owned by him.
The sooner the layers of management, lease holders, opertating companies, Breweries and freeholders sell up to someone who knows how to run a decent Pub the better - until then it will remain a like the Marie Celeste fit only for contractors and occassional live music events.
|
this pub has definately not been brought by matt from the perseverance enquiries were made but to no effect apparently there are big changes happening to the pub soon ???
|
So much potential - wasted
Other than wednesday nights (wednesday) when you cant get for strangers the Pub is a Licensed Grave.
Manager of the 'Perseverance' claims to have bought the lease. Rumour is his backers are the group of Indians who have ruined the Percy. If so it will be another Pub to be transformed into an Indian Restaurant.
Dunno what's worse.
|
A small change for the better on a recent visit.
Real Ale now drinkable (not brilliant).
Pub has had a clean up of sorts and now has some stock!
Looks like they are trying at least ... Am keeping my fingers crossed that it will turn around.
|
This Pub has the atmosphere of a Funeral parlour which should be no surprise as its run by two Undertakers with assistance from a Zombie barmaid.
The real Ale is an insult - even the Lager is in a constantly poor condition.
The Outside is tatty and the Toilets are a disgrace
What a shame - run by a professional instead of a Bumbling amature with no backing from the owners this could be a superb drinking establishment in a pretty village near London
|
nice looking pub from the outside so called in for lunch and a beer . car park empty, pub was empty, no real ale, run out of several items on the menu, food average, will not go there again and will never go into an un-tried and tested pub again which is empty .
|
Judging by the size of building, this must have been great in its day. On a weekday lunchtime though: car park empty, front two bars closed, back bar empty but serving. Most of the lights out, and a plasma-screen TV playing to no-one. However, if all that hasn't put you off, there's a real ale: TEA, very pleasant and inexpensive. Food: curries, pies, and stir-fries, home-cooked, surprisingly tasty, good sized portions and not a long wait. So the place looks a bit 'sad' at lunchtime but presumably pays for itself evenings.

Old style, great british food (no chips).
New management that could work well
