We hadn't been to the George for a couple of years, having been seduced by Bartellas, The Cricketers and the Kings Arms, but we decided to try The George for Sunday lunch. The beers are very good and the food, although not the best, is fine for the price. They used to do a choice of very nice breads which we were looking forward to having with our starters, but on this occasion the bread wasn't offered. I asked the waitress for it but it never appeared and there was no apology. I had to ask for salt and pepper, which did appear. I ordered a pint of Spitfire and was brought a half pint, although this was changed without problem. Most of the waiting staff are very pleasant but one is unhelpful and unsmiling and lets the others down badly. Still, if you want very good beer, and ok food at a reasonable price, The George is a good choice.

Easily the best pub in Meopham - The Meopham Green pubs now being bistros with boozers added on as afterthoughts and The Railway degenating into a place totally devoid of any semblance of soul - there is much to admire about The George.
Good beer ( a tad pricier than The Cock), supported by great staff and fine food all help to explain why this place is so popular. In contrast to The Cricketers where there is a parking space for the ambulance for the heart attack you get on receiving the bill, each visit is very much a pleasure.

We had always driven passed the George Inn before, but this time we went in and we were very glad we did! As soon as we walked in to the restaurant area, we caught our breath. It was beautiful. It was ambient, the staff were extremely attentive, the wine and food was more than excellent. We looked at the bar, and agreed we would return. The terrace/courtyard was very pretty and would be fantastic on a summer's day/evening. Good food, good wine, good staff and an establishment steeped in history. 10/10

I took my gorgeous new girlfriend here and we had a very nice evening, the food was excellent and the staff were very nice to us and provided a very good service. They have a great range of beers and ales etc and we will be going back again and I highly recommend it, this pub is very nice and they also have a very nice garden and the atmosphere is great.

Visited this pub last week.
Very much agree with Pat Bateman re the layout and the very friendly barstaff.
Had Shep Neames Early Bird. Very drinkable. Spitfire and Masterbrew were others available. Also had a very nice meal from a varied menu
As it was a warm day had a further drink outside round the rear of the pub.
Would definately return to this pub!
One word of warning for the taller drinkers. I'm only 5'8" and my head brushed the beams in a couple of places!

Well managed village local, good staff and selection of drinks

A pub of 2 halves really.
On entering through an old oak door (very nice), you arrive in a low ceiling bar with wooden floors, which is very cosy and has a great feel to it. In one corner there is a massive fireplace, which sadly wasn't in use.
The other part of the pub consists of a carpeted area, which is a bit souless really and a kind of modern extension/dinning area out back.
If you can get a seat in the wooden floor area, then I would highly recommend a visit to this pub.
Very firendly and polite staff as well.

Shepherd Neame beers always good (according to my partner - I don't drink beer myself). MasterBrew, Spitfire, Bishop's Finger, Autumn Red. Food and service is always very good and today was no exception. Have visited this pub many times and can really recommend it.

Attractive but unpretentious coaching inn; can't cooment on food but menu had a good range (not all pricey main meals) Sheps beers were decent, and included seasonals. Lovely villages around here.

Have eaten in the restaurant in the extension at the back a few times and have never been disappointed. The food is great, really well priced and the staff are vey friendly and helpful. Great pub!

The george inn is one of the jewels of kent, I have eaten here on many occasions and the food is very good(& sunday lunch is wonderful) although it's a fair way to travel for myself & wife (we live in lewisham) it's always well worthwhile, it's very clean & friendly with wonderful staff a 5 star experence! give it a try.

We (me and the other half) weren't intending to call in at the George Inn but we were so hungry that as we passed we decided to try it out. Low ceilings and a heavy oak door grabbed my attention immediately. There is an old part of the pub (approx 1325) and a new extension and whilst I prefer the old part, the new bit has been decorated tastefully. The beer was shepherd neame (nicely kept) and the service was superb. The atmosphere was a happy one and the barmaid and the waitress were both very friendly (genuinely so - not the usual fake smiles). I can recommend the toasted sandwiches (particularly the cheese and ham). We will be returning soon to sample the restaurant menu.
