We had a brilliant birthday party at the George & Monkey. Planning was very easy, all messages were responded to quickly and all of our requests dealt with. The venue is lovely, a good sized area in a great location. A wide selection of drinks at reasonable London prices. And the staff behind the bar were fantastic and very friendly. Highly recommended.

We had our family Christmas meal at G&M today. We had lots of kids with us so it wasn’t a quiet affair, but Julija, her staff and even a couple of locals were so friendly and accommodating, even when we had to slightly change and add to orders. On top of that, the food was delicious! For reference we had all the roasts (beef, chicken, vegan and vegetarian cauliflower steaks). Also if you’re hungry try out the baked Camembert - it’s to die for (as is the vegan chocolate slice). Julija helped with all the planning and coordinating and made it all very easy. We’ll definitely be back!

None!

Good evening, I'm George, so pleased to meet you.

That’s right, THE George. I know, I know, I am more handsome in person. But enough about me, let’s focus on you. It’s perfectly delightful of you to stop by. As I assume you are here for information let me tell you a few things about my fine hostelry. Located in the neo Georgian splendour of 68 Amwell Street, The George and Monkey offers the discerning a refined watering hole with all the comforts of home. That is, of course, if your home is furnished with an exemplary gin menu, the finest of craft beer, oodles of wine, sun bathed outdoor space, attentive staff, convivial company and a roaring hot pizza oven. Mine is!

Do stop by for a drink or a bite. I’m always at home.

Warmest Regards
