The George Covent Garden is a lively pub at 8 Great Queen Street, positioned between Covent Garden Piazza and Holborn station. Cosy interiors and a spacious outdoor terrace create contrasting places to settle in, whether the occasion is lunch, drinks, an evening meal or a gathering with friends.
The kitchen follows a straightforward policy of preparing food fresh, cooking it to order and serving familiar pub dishes with care. Snacks and smaller plates suit casual visits, while sandwiches, burgers, pies and other substantial choices provide the structure for a complete lunch or dinner.
Vegetarian choices and a menu for children make the pub useful for mixed groups and family meals. Weekday lunch offers combine sandwiches with chips and a drink, while buffet menus can be arranged for parties, work events and other occasions that need food designed for sharing.
Draught beer, wine, spirits, spritzes and alcohol free refreshments support both quick drinks and longer meals. Live piano sessions bring music to the pub each Wednesday, and the terrace, bookable tables and flexible function options help the George accommodate visits of many different sizes.
