Atmosphere & Layout
Pros:
"Nice inside layout with set-back booths either side of the main dining area."
"Had a great time, don't know if that was because I saw my cousin for the first time in 22 years and the pints being under £4 or what but, this place had a really good atmosphere either way."
"We really liked the low key vibe and popularity of the George."
"Perfect. Fantastic traditional pub ambient frequented mostly by families."
"Nice big space, always lots of seating and two bars which really makes it pleasant when ordering not too bad for queues."
"Lots of tables and booths. The Guinness was excellent."
"A nice quaint pub located in the heart of Croydon."
Cons:
"The inside decor has not changed in the last 15 years at a bare minimum."
"Even by the standards of a Wetherspoons this place is dark and dreary."
"Food was ok, defo needs a face lift on the inside, made the atmosphere feel a bit drab to be honest."
"Place is slightly outdated (ie old and not so clean carpet, dirty toilets with wine bucket to collect water from leak..)"
"The actual pub itself is dingy and dilapidated."
"Pub itself looking a bit tired and could do with some new chairs and seat coverings etc."
"It does need dire redecoration."

Food & Drink
Pros:
"Truly amazing place to go out. Food is beyond delicious and great variety of drinks."

"Terrible waste of money. Bread tasted funny, hash brown drowning in oil."
"Disappointed with the food ordered 6 meals all come out cold and not to correct spec."
"Ordered egg, chips and mushy peas. Almost cold when it was served and with garden peas instead of what we ordered."
"The curry wasn't flavoured. The steak was mediocre."
"A cow's hoof would be more tender then the steak I was given, if u can call it that."
"Their lemon chicken was just boiled chicken with seasoning on it."
