Very impressive & good value

Aug 2020 • none

Whilst staying at the Hellingly Travelodge, we visited the George on 3 occasions between Aug 1st & 3rd. We were impressed with the way they handled social distancing & felt very safe. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner at the start of the Eat Out to Help Out so they were even better value than normal. The staff were friendly & helpful & toilets clean.

Busy but nice

Jan 2020 • none

Very popular pub just on the fringe of the town high street. Very popular. Menus vary between different Wetherspoons. Some offer soups or pizzas, some vary in price in the three items for such and such a price. Drinks are mostly of a very good price

Scrumptious fish and chips, friendly staff and quick service

Aug 2020 • none

Visited here with friends on Friday night 14th August. It was very busy, but not surprisingly so. They have sanitisers as you walk in/out and seem very keen to keep their staff and customers safe. Really like the booths they have now surrounding the tables at the bottom end of the pub. It makes you feel safe and also creates a sense of privacy. All the staff are lovely, I was served by a lovely lady and the service was super efficient. The staff all seem happy which is always a good sign. The food arrived very quickly, hot and delivered so we all four ate at the same time. A special mention to a young man called Darren, who brought our food to us and made sure we all had what we needed (condiments etc). He was polite, friendly and clearly enjoys his job. My fish and chips were cooked t perfection, the chunky chips are a favourite of mine, the batter on the fish was crispy and light and the fish was fresh. My friends were equally complimentary about their food, scampi and burger. All in all, a very positive experience.

Sadly a shadow of it's former self

Oct 2021 • couples

Before lockdown we regularly visited the George for meals and were very impressed with the quality and value. We were therefore looking forward to a meal there this week before our visit to the Pavilion cinema. I'm sorry to say we were sadly disappointed. I ordered the Beef Madras which was ok but the poppadoms were soft and partly uncooked and the nan was like a piece of leather whereas on our previous visits they had been superb. My wife had the steak which previously came with peas, onion rings and a mushroom. This time she was served an overdone steak with just chips nothing else. So sad to see our local pub go downhill like this and it has put us off visiting again.

Value for money

Mar 2020 • none

Went and had their special Friday fish and chips which included a drink very good value. Very fast service from when ordered. The meal arrived hot and a reasonable portions. The one downside, was that they did not clear the tables very quickly. Our table was not cleaned when we arrived and had to ask for it to be cleaned. Plates were not removed when we had finished, still had not been cleared by the time we left, which was 15 minutes after we had finished our meal.

Excellent food and service!

Sept 2020 • none

Our group of 6 visited Thursday evening. Everything is very well organised following government guidelines, and we ordered via the app. The food was absolutely delicious, most of our party having curry as it was curry night. I had BBQ chicken melt and it was perfect, the chicken being so tender it literally melted in your mouth, and perfect chips as not greasy. The service was so quick and very friendly. We enjoyed it so much we are coming every other week, as long as the government allows us! Hoping to get our favourite table!

Horrific

Nov 2022 • friends

Where to start. This place is a typical spoons, except the manager is probably worse than the customers( who think it's okay to start a brawl in the middle of service). He likes to impose himself and act lik God almighty but can't handle criticism whatsoever. Furthermore he removes people from this place because they were getting "picked on" .. he offers no explanation. If you want to eat som where cheap get a Tesco meal deal and eat it at home, because this place is utterly woeful James is half okay on the front of things however when someone questions his actions he can't handle it and removes you ... I've seen this with staff as well as customers. Between the fighting from hailshams finest and the management and door staff this place if truly horrible.

Review of weatherspoons

Mar 2022 • couples

I would like to thank the staff at this spoons because they where all friendly, had smiles on their faces. One of the kitchen staff I believe is part of management called Darren was very nice, cheerful when bringing out our meals. All bar staff was amazing, happy. The chain should be proud of the team at Hailsham and I would recommend folks to try the friendly pub. Me and my partner had a wonderful experience, Thanks Guys for a wonderful experience.

Not a Hotel, a Weatherpoons.

Sept 2021 • friends

Met friends with child here to eat, she apologised in advance as said only child friendly place for food on a weekday. Predictable, food good quality, some hot some cold on same plate. Pretty much what we expected. Drink prices great, decor good and clean, busy.

Enjoyable!

May 2022 • family

Our daughter lives in Hailsham and visited here for lunch on a very wet Saturday! It was very busy inside but managed to find a table. My daughter really enjoyed her all day brunch and we enjoyed bowls of chips and onion rings. The price was very reasonable and the staff were friendly and hard working. On a sunny day will be nice to come back and sit out the back where we spotted some tables outside.

Breakfast

Jan 2020 • couples

Popped in for breakfast. Nice friendly staff. Food arrived quick. Husbands breakfast Luke warm and my bacon sandwich didn’t look like it was cooked properly. Very anaemic and again Luke warm. One coffee machine broken so a little wait to get hot drinks. If this had been my first visit I would not be returning. Hopefully a one off. Please cook the bacon for longer. I agree with a previous review it looks odd.

Flies

Nov 2022 • couples

We come to The George regularly, the food is always pretty good and the value is excellent. However, for the last few months one part of the pub is full of fruit flies, which are landing on food and in drinks. Having raised this with the staff, they advised that they are aware of the issue, but have been unable to find a solution. I do think, given the amount of time that this has been an issue, that a chain as big as Wetherspoons would have resolved this by now.

Decent food especially during the week….

Jun 2023 • family

We’ve been coming here for years. We like it for the family walled court yard at the back. They also have a side section by the pub for smokers. The one thing that I struggle to understand is they have seating area adjacent to a public highway/ foot path yet you are not allowed to sit there with a dog. Yet the dog would not be sat on Wetherspoons land which I believe is illegal as they have no right to dictate who is actually on the path!!! I would totally understand it if you sat right next to the pub. We find the food and service is far superior during the week than at weekends. The last couple of weekends we have issues with our meals and unfortunately they have made out it was our fault. No just look at the menu, and you will see cheese and bacon comes with the gourmet chicken burger!!! When we pointed this out the cheese and bacon was brought out. Yet we don’t come across these issues normally during the week. They also appear short staff at weekends. But I believe it still offers great value for money.

Good covid measures in place

Jun 2021 • couples

Visited for lunch , but apprehensive after going to Brighton Wetherspoon's and it was appalling. Greeted by a lovely young lady who made sure covid check in was completed before we could order. Took our order promptly. Food arrived quickly and piping hot and of a good standard. We asked if a drink could be changed as the vodka was served in large glass drowned in lemonade rather than lemonade in separate glass as we asked so we can only put enough mixer in to our taste. This was sorted out perfectly. Place was very clean and staff seemed very happy in their work. Well done . Maybe these staff could go over to the bright helm and teach them a thing
