This old coaching inn has been around since the town was developed in the Georgian days and is now an exciting new venue for the upper end of Tunbridge Wells. A smart, friendly free house recently restored to its former 19th-century coaching inn glory with distinct areas featuring wood flooring and panelling. Patio seating to the front or search out the 'secret courtyard garden' in which to enjoy the range of real ales, Dudda's Tun or Turners cider, and craft beer in fine weather. The George is also home to the Fonthill Brewery Co. who started brewing in November 2017. The brewery capacity is 2.5 bbl which produces 10 firkins per brew. They currently brew about once a week and have five cask ales and three keg ales in their portfolio. They also have a Brewery Bar and Taproom in the stables behind the pub which is open Friday evenings and Saturdays. Branch Pub of the Year in 2018 and 2019. See the pub's Instagram account.
