Everything about the Pub
The Old Royal George Morton-On-Swale

There is scope for regular activities like quiz nights and live entertainment to be introduced alongside the current regular trade. The pub currently operates at an approximate 70:30 wet/dry split, with the food offer based around a good home-cooked “pub favourites” menu.
