A beautiful building set on the banks of the river Stour in picturesque Fordwich, just four miles from Canterbury.
Fordwich, the smallest town in Britain, just oozes history, and the pub has been at the centre of community life for centuries.
Our passion lies in finding quality fresh ingredients and preparing, cooking and presenting them in a modern but unpretentious way. Our menus have a spine of classic British dishes complemented by more exotic influences from other parts of the world.
We update our beer lineup regularly so check here to know what's on our pumps today. If there are any you haven't seen and think deserve a place, let us know next time you're in, we're always happy to talk beer.

Our go-to place for guaranteed good food, our favourite being the roast dinner which we recently had last week. The price matches the quality and the food is always delicious. No matter how many new places we try, we always go back to The George and love it every time. The outside area has a large covered area with heaters and a lovely garden for the warmer months. The place has a warm, family feel to it and all in all a great place for food, atmosphere and service.
I have been many times before and never disappoints. This time, we made a spontaneous stop for lunch midweek, they accommodated us and we chose their three-course menu. Solid menu, delivered well. Good selection of drinks nice staff. Go and visit, judge by yourself
My partner and I only decided we wanted a meal out around 5pm tonight (some may be able to relate to the fact I didn’t fancy cooking!) and we were able to book a table through the website with ease. I was pleasantly surprised there were available spaces. On arrival, we were promptly seated and soon placed our order. The menu is reasonably varied with some good choices of traditional dishes. We opted for garlic bread and crispy squid for starters, followed by the steak burger and confit pork belly for mains. My partner is fairly fussy, nothing bog standard but also nothing too fancy. He sang praises on the food throughout the meal and I very much agree. Good portion sizes and great flavour accompanied by a prompt, polite but not overwhelming service. After our meal, my partner had a brownie for desert and I had a latte which came with a complimentary, home made biscuit. A lovely touch. I cannot fault the meal, nor the service. 2 full, happy people leaving with smiles and discussing our return visit. Thank you all for a very nice evening x
With a really nice welcome from the landlord being our first time visiting here.. This was a really nice and quiet pub/restaurant not having to shout for a conversation with my other half. We was really looked after, amazing food and amazing people that work there! This is one of the places that we will return!!!
It was an amazing experience. Small old town in the heart of Kent. I had the best traditional pie in my life!!! All was delicious and waffles with soured cherries and chocolate were perfect.
