So many options in this are, I am not sure there is enough to make this stand out to warrant a recommendation - as pleasant enough as it is. Nice woodworking detail and gold leaf images on the outside. Inside, long and thin with a bar that had at least 6 hand pull cask on. Too many? Probably.
Two from Park Brewery and I went for Goodnight Pete - a hazy (was it meant to be?) IPA.
Mainly geared up for lunch time diners and smelt very much of fish and chips :-)

I hadn't planned to visit the George on this trip, but when I was walking from the nearby Cheshire Cheese to the Olde Cheshire Cheese to meet a group of friends I happened to catch a glimpse of a double handful of cask beers on the bar here. I managed to persuade a few of them to join me for a couple of halves on our way to the next scheduled pub. My photos show what I think are seven beers and a couple of ciders, though I may have missed one. I went for a pale beer called Scaramanga, brewed at Gun Brewery in East Sussex and which I can remember drinking in Brighton. Though I don't think it was as good there as it was here (NBSS 3.5 or 4). I was too busy drinking and chatting with my friends to make any notes about the pub, so I may have to come back another time. The beer range and quality would definitely not discourage a return.

Absolutely rammed with the afterwork crowd when I rocked up just before 6.00PM yesterday, so I didn’t get much further than the long thin main bar room. The impressive row of nine ale pumps is still in situ on the bar but the beer choice available pre covid is now long gone. So of these, six were unused and Sambrook Wandel and GK IPA were the only beers available with a third pump being pulled through. The Wandel was a decent pint but I didn’t linger long enough to see what went on the third one in use, as the Edgar Wallace just around the corner awaited. The local workers crowd, presumably from the Law courts opposite, seemed to like it, but it didn’t have any great USP’s for me.
