George - Croydon

I don't understand why people are complaining in the reviews. This is a pub that serves food, not a fancy restaurant. There are no waiters here! The food is consistently good and I have never had a bad dish. The staff, especially George and Laney, are great. I have been coming here since it opened and have been to some questionable Wetherspoons, but this place is not like that at all!

I ordered the cod and chips with a pint of Ruddles at The George. My meal was exactly what I was hoping for and I really enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and attentive. In summary, The George is a well-managed and affordable restaurant.

Every time we visit this restaurant, the manager is incredibly rude. His behavior is absolutely unacceptable. This is not an isolated incident, as other patrons have also mentioned his unpleasant demeanor. It seems that his negative attitude is affecting the staff as well, who now have to make an effort to serve customers. Despite being a longtime customer, I have never had to complain until now. Unfortunately, it seems that the restaurant has gone downhill due to the behavior of the bar manager, Mario. It's a shame because it used to be a great place to dine and socialize with friends. I will not be returning anytime soon.

I had a chicken and chips the chicken came out all slimy and uncooked no one came round to the table to ask how our meal was had to get a waiters attention told him the food is uncooked and I actually feel sick. He took it away. Then 5 minutes after a barman came over said this is how we cook it. I said I am very unhappy with the food then he walked away. No one else came back so I stood outside the kitchen and asked for the manager. A waiter said the manager is here can you speak to her. I said who do you think you are talking to her. He apologised I said I have had a bad meal and now you are speaking to me like this you need to have some costumer service training. Kim manager gave me a refund and apologized for her staff for talking to me like this.

Breakfast wraps bland, bacon overcooked and all our table orders came out at different times part of meal was forgotten so everything else went cold while we waited for it. Friendly staff and clean toilets also rather dusty bottles over the top shelf behind the bar
