The George Hotel is a historic JD Wetherspoon pub and hotel prominently situated on Load Street. Originally a merchant’s house dating back to around 1608, the beautiful black and white timbered building now serves as a bustling town centre venue.

The pub opens early every morning, serving a comprehensive breakfast menu from 7:00 AM. Throughout the day and into the evening, the kitchen offers a wide range of affordable pub classics, burgers, and curries. The bar is extensively stocked with spirits, wines, craft beers, and a regularly changing selection of real ales, frequently earning it a place in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide.
Beyond the main bar and dining areas, the venue features a spacious outdoor beer garden at the rear, offering a great spot to relax during the warmer months. For visitors looking to stay overnight, the hotel provides twenty comfortable en suite rooms equipped with free wireless internet, flat screen televisions, and tea making facilities.
