The George Tavern reviews
1 Star Review by Alvin Wong
This place is not disable friendly. We come for lunch with 9 people and 4 of them over 70 years old and one with a walking stick. They stuck us on a table with booth seat, and when asked to change tables we got rudely denied saying that the other tables were reserved. Bare in mind we came at 11.30am when it just open and we were one of the first tables in there, the place was empty at this point. Sat down and the tables were sticky, and this sticky stuff went all over our shirts and when the other table came, they had 5 people on a 10 seater table and it was just a family with their kids. While we were 9 adults, 4 oldies on a table with 8 seats so we have to fit on the booth seats. This does not make sense to me how the staff here operate. Food came, and the seafood pasta was just full of chilli and no other taste, its as if they dropped half the bottle of chilli into it. We put another order thru and pay for a new meal cos they wont do anything about the pasta as thats how its suppose to be. Mind you we order two of the same pasta, and one was edible, the other was not. The new meal took forever to come. And to top it off, the disable toilet door is stuck and doesnt close. So if youre coming here with oldies and have trouble moving around, dont bother coming here.

This place is pretty consistent. It's good pub food. Yeah maybe the prices are a bit higher than some pubs but I've never been completely shocked by the bill. The things they have on tap though are awesome. The Ginger Beer is potent and it's like drinking a normal Bundaberg Ginger beer for flavour so really good... It will creep up on you. Overall the selection of both food and drinks is great. The service is very good and the staff are professional and friendly. Can't ask for more.

Beautiful interior, very polite and welcoming staff! The staff looked me in the eyes and engaged in conversation which made me feel very welcome..... Good selection of traditional and craft beers on a great tap set up, the bar looked good! Food was delicious, I had the chicken schnitzel w/chips n salad and mushroom sauce. It was the lunch special ($14 w/sauce), I think it was a very reasonable price for the portion size and sauce included. Plenty of room inside and a large outdoor area as well. Massive tv screen inside as well, it's huge..... I'll be back!

We used to take family here for dinner and birthdays but will not be coming back. We came for my nieces family dinner on a Friday night. I had the seafood platter which was just fried frozen food dumped on a plate. For the price you expect maybe some garnish or presentation but no - literally just fried and served. Dry as dust. Burgers were dry, schnitzels tasted pre cooked and cold. 10/10 not going back to this . Not worth it. Shame used to be a good pub. Oh and was told off by the staff for singing happy birthday songs with our grandparents and kids at the table because they feared the police would come if we sculled a drink. Read the room.

I booked a table for 4 people on Saturday night, Im so glad I booked because the place was packed. The service was extremely friendly and the food was absolutely beautiful. The George Tavern is 100% a place we will be going back to for a great night out with family and friends
