How can a pub on the Isle of Wight justify charging �8 for two pints of locally brewed beer when every other pub charges around �6.50 for the same beer?
Whatever the other merits of this pub they need to lok at their pricing policy.

Went in last night while on a pub crawl on the island.Bought a pint of cider at �4 which the barman said sorry for the price 2 friends had Nipper Bitter also at �4 a pint which is a joke how can you justify the price .Will never visit again

Very handy for the shops and the bus station. A comofrtable old fashined type pub, with a good range of drinks and the biggest and tastiest Ploughman's I've ever had. Seems to do good raost dinners as well!

Four ales on though none from the island. Ringwood Fortyniner was quite drinkable. Handy for the bus station.

Reliable pub. I've been in several times. Usually an Island ale on of some description. Have eaten at the George, too. Try the steak pie - amazing. Spent most of a Saturday afternoon in the George when 'The Goldie Lookin Chain' were on stage at the IOW music festival one year. I thought to myself, I'm not watching that rubbish. I'm going for a pie and a pint of ale at The George.

Like the poster from Detroit, I remember this pub when Bunnie (surname George by coincidence) ran the pub.
It's changed a a lot, but it's normally possible to get a seat for a pint of well kept, if somewhat expensive, beer.

expensive.. but still very popular
|
so gone down hill shame it was a really nice pub a few years ago get rid of the " chavs " and get real people back in.

As above but meant to leave my email address, just in case

I used to go into this pub when Bunnie had it, 1966 onwards. I live in Detroit USA now so I haven't been there since around 1980, has it changed very much?
