"The George is a delicious and decadent take on a pub. The downstairs bar is Fitzrovia’s usual mix of slurring suits and those trying to ignore the slurring suits, while the upstairs is an OTT velvet boudoir of a dining room. The room gives off an energy that mixes the Tudors and the posh bit of the Titanic while the staff, who are friendly rather than fawning, will encourage you to eat foie gras and British classics turned fancy like breaded langoustine and chips. Indulgent? Yes. Silly? Certainly. The Sunday roasts? Very good." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
