Old George in Slough

You know, when I think about the Old George in Colnbrook, it really stands out as one of those pubs that gets so much right – it's got that perfect mix of a cosy, lively feel where you can kick back and enjoy yourself. The food is a highlight for me; their Indian dishes are packed with flavour and spot on for authenticity, and those deals like the Tandoori Mix Grill with pints make it such good value without breaking the bank. Plus, the staff are genuinely lovely, always ready with a smile and that extra touch that makes you feel welcome, whether you're there for a quick drink or a full meal. It's brilliant for sports fans too, with big screens everywhere showing all the action, and being dog-friendly just adds to the appeal – you can pop in with your four-legged friend and not worry about a thing. On the downside, the opening hours do seem a tad inconsistent, with some days wrapping up earlier than you'd hope, which could be a shame if you're planning a late-night gathering. And it does get packed on busier days, so you might have to queue or find it a bit hectic at times. All in all, it's a solid choice for a great night out, with plenty to love and just a few niggles that keep it real – I'd definitely recommend giving it a go if you're in the area.
