About
a real traditional country pub that does not pretend to be anything else
The George inn, run by Sharon and Mitch, is a traditional English family pub, offering camping within easy reach of Canterbury and the ports to the continent. The restaurant is 14th century and extended in 18th,19th and 20th centuries. It was the set for Channel 4's drama Southcliffe who filmed the pubs internal scenes here in 2012
