The George

Walk up Mount Ephraim and you'll find The George doing what it does best: being a proper pub without any pretence. The kind of place where regulars prop up the bar, the landlord knows your name by drink two, and nobody's trying to Instagram their pint. You're looking at solid pub fare that doesn't overcomplicate itself, paired with a decent selection of ales that rotate thoughtfully. It's the sort of venue that makes Tunbridge Wells feel like a real town rather than a collection of tourist spots—the backbone of local social life, whether you're popping in for a quick one after work or settling in for the evening.
