The George Pub — Restaurant in North Hertfordshire

Went in the pub recently for the first time, girl behind the bar was nice as was the young lad that collected the glasses but that’s where the good stops.

The pub was empty, I think I counted 4 customers in total, having visited, I can now understand why the place is so empty.

The place is a dump. The gents toilets are filthy, god only knows when they last got cleaned, you could feel your feet stick to the floor, place stank to high heaven.

Building is old and tired, its not character, it’s just been run into the ground with little to no love or money put into it.

Prices are ridiculous also. £3.80 for a 330ml bottle of larger!!

I’d give it a miss myself, far better pubs in Hitchin.

Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my review about your establishment.

In reply to your response;

My visit was not a Friday or a Saturday, however a young guy who was very friendly and polite and a real credit to your establishment collected glasses.

My maths is not that great, happy to admit that, however I don’t have too much trouble when counting to four, of course I didn’t count myself or my guest I was with at the time, nor did I count staff.

I can only take your figure of 400 guests as much as you took my figure of 4.

I’m sure you have given blood sweat and tears, the fact you have bothered to take the time to reply, proves how passionate you are about your establishment, have changed my review to reflect that.

Maybe the toilets are checked and cleaned every 15 / 20 mins at peak time, I guess when I visited and with it being as quiet as it was, that rule didn’t count, was certainly not enforced whilst I was their.

Apologies about my initial mistake in putting 250ml, that should of read 330ml, I have now corrected that.

Your more than entitled to have your suspicion about my review just as much as I am entitled to review a service I paid for / experienced.

I’m not trying to damage any locally owned food and drink business, again, if I pay for a service, I’m entitled to my views of that service.

Cheap dig with the Wetherspoons comment, never been in their myself so I can’t comment, however with just under 1000 establishments they can’t be that bad and must be doing...

Extremely rude staff. Was very rude when asking and checking IDs, I understand that checking ID’s is needed when someone looks under 25 but there is no need to be rude. Staff obviously like the power of being rude and checking them as the staff member scratched my ID multiple times even after it was proved it was real. They should think twice about treating customers better as I will never be returning. In response to your reply i would like to state that i was not rude at all to your staff, even when they were rude to us I still was not rude to them. Your reply just highlights the same level...

This pub really is a hidden gem! I went in for a Sunday roast and quite frankly it was life changing! Roast dinner with all the trimmings with a roaring open fire next to me.. the Pub I understood has recently been refurbished it’s warm and light inside the staff are also on point with the covid rules In place no one was allowed in without a mask that I saw & the bar staff will kindly remind you to mask up if you leave the table. So all in all great pub amazing staff & top...
