The story
The George is a historic London pub that, according to food traveler Mark Wiens, serves “gourmet-level pub food.” Wiens singled out an “incredible scotch egg” and what he calls “arguably the best pub fish and chips in London”—a plate of beer-battered haddock with a light, fluffy batter and all the classic accompaniments. It’s a polished take on a beloved British staple.
Beyond the signature fish and chips, the menu features smoked Ebetico pork ribs, reflecting the kitchen’s ambition. With an open kitchen, live cooking, and a buzzy yet elegant atmosphere, The George works equally well for a date night or a group outing, all within a setting that feels both refined and welcoming.

AI summary of what 3 dish mentions say about the food
The George’s Scotch egg earns rapturous praise, with its perfectly runny yolk and crisp, savory shell. Reviewers describe the overall vibe as unpretentiously satisfying comfort food.
“That is one of the most beautiful scotch eggs you'll ever see. There's black pudding within it, minced pork, it's crispy on the outside, with a perfectly oozy soft-boiled egg and that yolk in the center. The egg is nestled within the mince meat and the black pudding. The flavor of the black pudding, the egg completely melts in your mouth. The white of the egg plus the yolk have almost the same texture — that buttery creaminess, the sausagey flavor of that minced meat served warm and hot. There's an herb in there too, like a sage flavor. The crispiness of the outside shell with the creaminess of that egg and that sauce which is perfectly sour and a little bit sweet. You have to try their scotch egg.”

Smoked Ebetico Pork Ribs
These ribs were pre-smoked and then the chef puts them on a really hot charcoal grill downstairs and bastes them in barbecue sauce until it caramelizes onto the ribs. They smell amazing. So fatty and juicy. You immediately get that caramelized barbecue sauce which is actually not too sweet but has this savory, peppery flavor. Pure fatty juicy goodness.
Beer Battered Haddock and Chips
This is without a doubt one of the most beautiful plates of fish and chips in London. The display, the quality — it's made with haddock, battered, with all those little scraps and crispy tangly bits on top. The batter is incredibly light and fluffy, like a cloud of fish, a pillow of fish. It has not absorbed any of that oil. It is the crispiest, lightest, fluffiest batter you'll have. The haddock on the inside just flakes and melts in your mouth. When I took that first bite, I thought it could collapse the whole piece of fish, but it holds up — that's how crispy and well-engineered that batter is. The whole piece of fish doesn't just collapse on you. The extra crispies, the scraps, make it even more crispy in your mouth. The curry sauce is perfect for dipping chips — it has an amazing sweetness and sourness along with that curry powder flavor. The mushy peas are next level — you smell the mint, they taste like very young peas, more silky than starchy. This is the best pub fish and chips in London.
