George at Wallop, Middle Wallopback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
I see this hasn't been reviewed since 2015, so would like to recommend a visit...The George is a Lovely old coaching inn that gets the balance between pub and inn just wright. The bar area is friendly with lots of locals, but you always feel the food and service to be that of an inn. Beers were Two Cocks Roundhead bitter and Beavertown neck oil, plus lots of lagers and ciders. Dog friendly including rooms, which is a bonus in this lovely area. I'm guessing most people stay a night or two passing through too or from the many lovely towns and cities this area offers. Owner is also the chef I think, and the food was top notch...

Word on the street is that Hughen and Joyce Riley, from the Silver Plough at Pitton, are taking over. Surely this can only be good news for the George. Not so good news for Hall and Woodhouse, they'll be losing yet another good management couple. Maybe one day they will realise.........licensees need to make a living, not pay extortionate rents!!!
Good luck Joyce and Hughen!!!

I have now tried on three occasions to get into this pub and it's always shut!!! Visited (or tried to!!) last Wednesday at around 1pm and alas.......SHUT, curtains closed, no sign of life. Went to the White Hart, down the road, and there was a group in there having their Christmas 'works lunch', problem was they were suppose to be enjoying it in the George!!!!
Oh well, another licensee about to visit the bankruptcy courts no doubt......
Watch this space.

The pub is much better now it has had its refit. Good choice of beer and food so it should attract more locals. Although it is hard work for strangers to suceed in this village. Worth a visit. The two ugly dogs moved back to essex a few years ago :-)

Popped in after reading good review in local paper, I remember going there few years ago and wasnt impressed, however the new owners have really turned it around and welcoming.
Was greeted by Lee (landlord) lovely bloke very professional and very nice to talk to, had nice giggle about life.
The ales and choice of wines is really good, local beers from �3.00. About 30 wines and champagnes available.
The menu has choice of starters, mains and BLACK ROCK and desserts
The Black rock is what we had, you actually get a plate with a 400 degree rock in the middle and you cook your steak fish chicken how you klike it, we both loved it.
We had profiteroles and a belgian chocolate orange bombe for pudding and 10/10...
I would reccomend this place for any occasion, quick stop off, relaxing lunch, romantic evening...
Thank again

Now reopen. Great beer, fantastic food (if you're OK with steak).
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Beer: Adnams Broadside & Ringwood Fortyniner tonight. Good enough for several.
Food: steak cooked on red hot granite slab - really works, an absolute must.
New people. This pub deserves local support, so get out there.
No sign of ugly dogs.
