The George Inn dates back over 350 years and was the last coaching inn on the route to London. The pub attracts a wide age range, although more of a younger crowd attend at weekends. The range of beers has increased in recent years, with 5 or 6 on offer most days. A reasonable choice of food is available and is of the pub grub style - burgers, pies, steak, fish and chips etc. Piped music plays on a 2 hour loop, but is generally not too intrusive. A TV shows BBC News channel (muted, with subtitles) and occasionally football/rugby, if on terrestrial TV.

The pub sign portrays St George defeating the dragon. The weatherboarded exterior has changed little over time and the building is the oldest in the High Street. Since the 1970s, this has also been called "Ye Olde George Inn" and "Ye George Inn".
