The Royal George is an L-shaped pub with a blue regal carpet throughout and red banquettes with tables and red upholstered chairs that sit under pots, kettles and spoons that hang from the ceiling beams above. The serving counter across the rear supports four hand pumps, two of which were in use drawing Doom Bar and Landlord, and there’s a standard and premium keg selection. There are also drink deals on spirits and I noted an advertisement for the monthly Friday meat raffle. Behind the counter is a loungey snug and at the rear is a pool table past the toilets. There was some background music playing off the jukebox during a recent Friday afternoon visit when a handful of friendly locals were chatting with the equally friendly barmaid. The ale selection isn’t going to draw anyone in, but I enjoyed my visit and would be happy to have this pub as a local.

I called in here on the suggestion of the lad behind the bar at the Five Bells, but the cask beer offering of Landlord and Doom Bar didn't float my boat, on a day when I was hoping to drink mostly local beers.

Pleased to report that there’s no change inside (I was worried there’d been a refurb as the outside has been freshly painted a shade of baby poo brown). Cask-wise, it was 2x Tim Taylor and another I forgot to note (Pride, maybe?). Unfortunately the TT Golden Best hadn’t shifted and was a bit stale (NBSS 2) which was a real shame. Still, I like the feel of the place and I’ll call again next time I’m in town.

A pub unchanged since what looks like a plush 70s refit; tudoresque beams both fake and real, pub carpet, red fabric banquettes and loads of brasses hanging from the ceiling. Some nautical ephemera, presumably because the Royal George was (I found out) a ship, the sister of HMS Victory, no less. Someone is busy with the Mr Sheen here, the place was spotless with well-polished tables you could see your reflection in. Three ales on; Doom Bar, Hop Back GFB and Fullers London Pride (very good shape) served-up by a bamboozled barman. We enjoyed our stop here and I’d be putting my head round the door next time in Salisbury. As mentioned below, a more adventurous ale choice would really make this one stand-out. 7.5
