Nice comfortable pub, staff efficient, friendly locals, good beer garden, 6 ales on when we visited. I had Windsor & Eton 'Conqueror' [5%] a nice pint and Windsor & Eton 'Guardsman' [4.2%] a tasty ale.

I stayed here and the rooms were clean and comfortable BUT rooms to the front beware as there is an 'unofficial' taxi rank outside where at the weekend there is high brow riff raff on the streets shouting and carrying on until the wee hours. Apparently it's £5 cheaper to get cab Eton side of the Thames - hence the taxi rank. The place itself though is OK and suprised to read comments about ale as the Windsor & Eton Brewery ale I had was excellent BUT £4 pint! There was also a beer fest due (local ales) the following day.

Group of 4 visited The George Inn, last weekend. We had three glasses of Garter from Windsor & Eton brewery, all tasted of vinegar/acidic. Barman took a taste and declared that the ale was good. We left the beer and the expensive pub. Will stick to the Carpenters in future, where they know how to look after beer.

Now the "Prince George". To paraphrase BinBagBob, this is a restaurant that doesn't even bother to serve beer, despite billing itself as an Inn.

An average looking pub, but in a great located just a short stroll from the footbridge that links Eton and Windsor.
It has one large room, with an almost 'pretend authentic' look, with two real ales on the bar, including Guardsman from the Windsor and Eton brewery. It also had a large rear yard which, whilst not having a view of the nearby river, was a nice place to sit for an hour.
The bar staff were very friendly and extremely professional. We tried the food and the swordfish was the best I have ever had, it was superb.
The drawback to the pub had to be the price - £4.10 per pint, which would put me off returning in a hurry.

Traditional looking boozer inside and out and one that I was looking forward to visiting after a busy day out in Windsor. The pub itself was very quiet, 2 or 3 student types chatting to the equally student looking barman. I had a pint of Huntsmans Best while my partner had a pint of lager and lime. Then came the price! 8 pounds and 10p!
When will these pubs learn. If they had charged a reasonable amount, maybe 6 pounds 10p, then I would have quite happily spent the rest of the afternoon in there. As it was I couldnt wait to get out and felt annoyed with myself for paying these exorbitant prices.
Went to Weatherspoons and had a full rack of ribs with a pint of John Smiths for 8.25. Nuff said.

i visited this pub a few months ago forgot till now to post this comment, terrible food, rude staff, i even emailed the owners who didnt offer me anything either, stay away from this place.

Well this will confuse you. This is a food pub and the food and service were both excellent. The main course was as good as anything I had eaten in this great country and the service was attentive and they couldn't do more for youl. There's a lot of choice in this great town but this is a good place for British food.

Absolutely dreadful pub - 6 of us went for lunch and the food was terrible. The melted cheese starter was cold (as was the "hot" winter pimms). When the mains came, one steak turned up with plastic on it, two other "rare" steaks turned up burnt to a crisp and completely rubber tasting and they messed up two of the other orders (mash instead of chips, chicken pie instead of steak & mushroom). But the worst part was that the staff didn't even apologise and quite frankly were pretty rude. Eventually they agreed to take some money off the order but then when the bill finally turned up they hadn't taken anything off!! Appalling value for money, terrible service from inexperienced staff - I would definitely NOT ever recommend this pub, ever!

Tries far too hard to have a traditional look about it, but has clearly had a good deal of money spent on it to look that way. I suspect that in the not to distant past, it did look like a traditional pub without having to think about it. The food was very nice (if a little over priced. Just because it is Eton is still not an excuse to over charge for things) and there were a couple of nice ales for sale. The staff were also friendly and helpful but there was just not enough here to make me think that I would make an effort to visit here again.

Sooo disappointing. After trying to find somewhere nice to eat on Sunday we finally settled on the George cause the menu looked great. However...
We started with nachos to share which came with barely melted cheese, tomato sauce salsa, and flavourless guacomole. Very very average.
They then took about 15 mins to clear away the starter before letting the kitchen know we were ready for mains.
I had the Club Wrap which might have been nice if the taste wasnt totally overpowered by the burnt wrap.
My boyfriend had the Beef Stew with Dumplings which came only warm, not hot and without any of the advertised potatoes! Very small meal.
We asked about the lack of potatoes and they apologised and said they would take my Pepsi off the bill (which was about �1.50!!) which we felt was a bit crap considering the meal had come without one if its main ingrediants and the potatoes was one of the main reason my boyfriend chose it!
Overall, it was a huge disappointment. Ruined our day as we were really looking forward to a nice lunch and EVERYTHING was below average. Would not recommend.

Nothing to write home about, but was OK

Paid a visit here last night after visiting "The Royal Stag" in Datchet of Friday Night (Another pub owned by the same Company). Sadly will not be back. This is now a Restaurant pretending to be a Pub, and the prices reflect this. Must be the dearest Pub in the area �7.20 for TWO Bottles of Becks Lager, a cool �1 more than most other pubs. If it was not for the Tourists a clear candidate to close in the Credit Crunch
|
This is a restaurant that happens to serve beer - not a pub that serves food.
|
Went there Friday good pint of Breakspears for me and pride for my mate the outside area is very nice but oh dear the pub is badly let down by the gents , half the wall of tiles off and badly in need of a lick of paint , times are hard but this badly lets a pretentious pub down !!!!!
|
I enjoyed it when I went there. Nice food. True, the bar staff seemed a little bored and uninterested. But so would I be in their pitiful shoes. Not at all bad.
|
Visited the Pub in August 2007 with my wife and three kids. Have been to Windsor a few times and must say this is one of the better pubs.
We sat in the massive decked out area in the back, which looks rather pleasant, nicely finished.
Food was of a high standard, and I�m a fussy eater! Courteous staff that were well mannered and looked after us.
As for the prices, not bad at all for Windsor � especially for the size of portions and quality of food.
Well worth a visit.

Sadly I have to agree with all of the previous comments. The staff only appear to be interested in getting through their shift with as little effort as possible, rather than giving half a decent service. Walk on by, there are better pubs within a stones throw.

Me and my boyfriend went in here on Saturday afternoon for some lunch.When our food arrived my boyfriends burger was bloody in the middle.We complained and the waitress said she would get another one for him.5mins later a waiter came to us and said the chef couldnt cook it properly as burgers cant fully cook!! my boyfriend said to leave it,once id finished my food as iwas already halfway thru my hard jacket potato we asked for the bill,iexplained to the waiter that our lunch was ruined and i ended up eating on my own,and ithought my boyfriend shud at least be offered his drink on the house,(a coke i might add!!!)with that the waiter(who was french and seemed confused frm what i was saying)got a manager(supposedly) He was very rude to us my partner said we will never eat there again,on that his reply good, dont, i dont care!!! (customer service at its best)he walked off leaving the french waiter with us who then started saying"if you order something that cant be cooked properly you cant expect not to eat it!".We cud not believe this remark as we have never eaten a hamburger with blood dripping out of it!! Eventually the "manager" returned saying he spoke to the "manager" and we could just leave the bill!!! That food was awful the staff are rude, and have no customer service skills at all,shame as the pub is in a nice location they just need to be more fussy on who they hire to work there!!!!!

Avoid like the plague. Unfriendly bar service. Told coffee machine wasn't working and they looked at me as if I had a disease when I asked if they could make one using a kettle. Cleary not interested in service. Charged �3-50 for a pint and �3-50 for a small bottle of beer. Rip off! It this were a ploy to keep the place select and free from erks then I might understand but we finally left due to the group of middle aged men f-ing and blinding at a large volume. If you cant find a better alternative then I suggest you go home.

Went in here on Saturday - waste of time. Polish girl behind bar said she was not serving drinksas she was awaitress. All other staff were downstairs in the Celler sorting out a problem, I waited for a bit then gave up. If the beer is as bad as their customer relations,AVOID and go elsewhere.

Avoid plently of better pubs to choose from in the Street

nice wine selection great food cosy for a quiet drink
|
Good outside space, although is very much a "pretty people" hangout. Nice food but a tad pricey. Would be nice for a lazy Sunday afternoon.
|
A kind of half-in, half-out gastro pub with conversion that's a bit too clinical for my taste and devoid of atmosphere as a consequence. A decent Brakspears, but in Windsor that's nothing to get excited about is it?
|
Is this a pub or a restaurant ? Make up you mind landlord and whilst you're at it look at lowering your prices ! (In a small whisper)good ales though.

Seems to be more of a restaurant than a bar. Good service and three real ales available. Was a pleasant place for a round before dinner, would probably not settle in for the whole evening unless I was eating there.
|
I have been here a few times and found it to be a marvelouse place for food. The atmosphere is a litle on the quiet side, though I have only been early in the evening.

Bigbird is right, the George is not a place for a big drinking night - but the food is fabulous, the best I have ever had in a pub in all my years. Round off the evening across the road at the New College with some Badger ale and then a stagger back to the B&B across the adjacent bridge which crossed the Thames.

Good looking pub but the prices are extortionate, not all that drunk frindly either - I recommend walking up the high street to the New College or Henry VI.
