About This Pub
Ah, The George Pub – it's one of those places that just feels like a hidden gem in Hitchin, with its beams dating back to the 1600s and those inviting fireplaces that make you forget the world outside. I love how it's kept that independent, family-run spirit, serving up classic pub grub and a cracking atmosphere that's both lively and laid-back. The Sunday roasts are a real highlight; folks rave about the slow-cooked meats and generous servings that won't break the bank, and it's dead easy to spend an afternoon there with your dog in tow, as they're made to feel just as welcome as you are. On the flip side, though, the back of the pub can get a bit gloomy, which might not be ideal if you're after a brighter spot for a catch-up. All in all, it's a solid choice for anyone looking for good company, decent drinks, and a touch of history, but do keep an eye on those opening times to make sure it's open when you fancy a visit.

My husband and I popped in for one drink as the exterior looked so inviting. Inside it was delightful with an amazing fireplace. The ceiling was beamed and dated from 1600's. The staff were so friendly & informative about the area. Definitely worth a visit. No rating given for food as food not served.
Great place for a Christmas work do.
When hiring we didn't realise the amount of space we would be given which was half of the 1st floor!
Service was friendly and food was delish.
Lovely roast with a great home made Yorkie! Friendly staff and good service. Visiting with dogs and they were made very welcome too! Just needs a bit more light in the back area, was a bit dark during the day. The bar area by the front door was very well lit though.
This place has the most fantastic roasts. I got a large and actually couldn’t finish. The slow cooked ribeye was incredible and roast potatoes perfectly crispy. Staff friendly and accommodating and the prices so reasonable for the snacking quality of food
The George is one of the last traditional family run pubs in Hitchin with two cosy charming fireplaces. They also do an amazing Sunday roast! The pub is very dog friendly and welcoming we love it here
