A proper old school boozer,tied to Mc Mullens but without any Macs signage externally.It sits between two lanes in a V shaped plot giving space at the back from a good sized beer garden.The signs outside state there is no food sold here but the team are happy for people to bring in their own grub,there is a baker next door.
Internally it's two distinct rooms,a front lounge with some attractive fittings,a calm space .There is a door to the lavs which also acts as a connecting corridor to the rear tap room,with some high tables opposite the side bar,more traditional furniture elsewhere,a sports flatscreen and a livelier atmosphere ,with french windows into the beer garden.The muzak was good and played at a reasonable volume and the welcome from behind the bar was friendly.Both rooms have the same Macs ales,on my trip AK,IPA and Country Bitter (NBSS Good),while the keg selection was very mainstream.
Good to see a pub that has retained a traditional layout and a community focus,this is one of the better pubs in Sawbo and is worth a quick squint despite Macs pedestrian ale range.

Just within the Hertfordshire border a few minutes’ walk from Sawbridgeworth Railway Station is the George Forth. Outside the front of this McMullen’s’ pub is a paved beer garden with seating that straddles the driveway to a garage. The interior consists of front and rear bars that were both fairly busy with a local crowd during my late Thursday afternoon visit. The front bar houses a plasma screen that was showing muted tennis via Sky Sports whilst the likes of Bon Jovi played a few hits. The rear bar was a little quieter with older regulars sitting on emerald banquettes in a traditionally decked out space. Monday through to Saturday there is an extended license until 23:30.
Available from the bar was a standard draught range and the cask ale options were McMullen’s Cask Ale, Country, IPA and AK.
I found the staff to be polite and the locals to be friendly. I liked it in here and thought that it was the best pub on my mini crawl of the area.

The George IV is a friendly, comfortable, clean, lively pub with great landlords and happy staff. There is a tv in one bar for sporting events & often on a Wednesday evening there is live music which is well worth a visit. There is a very nice patio garden with tables & chairs & gazebos. Plus a patio heater, making it more comfortable for the smokers in the winter! Good beer too. Highly recommended.
