Given the usual range of dispiriting options in this crowded tourist area, the Royal George does a good job of providing a fine place for meeting up and having a drink. There's plenty of upstairs seating (couches, and both low and high tables with stools) and more downstairs, which on a sunny Friday early evening was almost empty as everyone crowded into the cul-de-sac to drink. The downstairs room, in particular, has been done up and is quite bright. |

Food is served noon-10pm Monday to Saturday, and noon-9pm Sunday. It's decent quality, from a standard [[Category Mitchells And Butlers|Mitchells & Butlers]] menu. Apart from mains, there's also a selection of smaller dishes which can be combined as a sharing platter. [[Ewan]] tried the vegetarian pie, and it was a tasty concoction, and a properly encased pie at that, served with mash and cabbage (£8.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3428901796/ photo]</small>. |

There's a ukulele group on a Wednesday, who use the downstairs room, though generally there's still space to sit downstairs if you can possibly stand the sound. |
