Peter Forster left this review about The George Hotel (JD Wetherspoon)

An unusual Weatherspoons. It is divided into several rooms which creates a very different ‘hotel bar’ atmosphere. The real ale choice is very poor, being Ruddles, Doombar or Abbot. The place was extremely busy when I visited early Friday evening but I managed to get a small table. This was fortunate as when I approached the bar there was a long queue snaking away from it. The rest of the bar was empty! It is against my religion to queue in this way in a pub so I had two options. Previously I have just gone to the bar bypassing the queue but on this occasion I didn’t feel suitably brave, so I found a table and ordered on the app. As the ale choice was not my taste I ended up with a pint of Seven Brothers Easy IPA (£3.50). It was actually quite good. Given the beer choice and the queuing I won’t be returning.

The advantage of a Spoons' in an old hotel is that it has an assortment of drinking areas of different styles, rather than one massive room and this is no exception. The bar lurks somewhere in the middle and there are various parts leading off, including a small glass conservatory, as well as some outdoor café-style patio areas. Sadly the terrible trio of beers still took up half of the pumps, with Brain's SA the only Welsh brew in evidence.

This opened as a Spoons on the 21st of February. Although it is one of their hotels there are only four rooms which seems odd considering there is quite a lot of space for the pub side of it. The Evan Evans brewery were the previous owner or lessee but why they gave it up is anyone's guess.
Inside it's a rambling sort of place that has various seating areas and the bar at the rear. Being a new Spoons the fixtures and fittings are better than average. As is common with new Spoons the food is dearer than average. It was quite busy on my Wednesday evening visit but they were woefully short staffed so getting served was a real problem until the food orders subsided.
There are two banks of six hand pumps which had one unused, the JDW Trio Of Doom doubled, Evan Evans St David's Ale, Grainstore 1050, Brecon Six Beacons, Vale Of Glamorgan Dark Matter and Loddon Hullabaloo. I went for the St David's Ale and the 1050 but completely forgot to write down the prices. They were both in decent enough nick.
This Spoons seemed OK but they do apparently have a staffing problem.
