  • Community Owned

Following the pub's closure in 2020, local residents came together to form 'The George Community' with the aim of saving it.

With the support of Ashford Borough Council, Bethersden Parish Council, the Plunkett Foundation and our local MP Damian Green, a successful share offer was launched at the end of November 2022 which raised £300K in just a few weeks. With part-matched funding from the Government's Community Ownership Scheme, we were finally able to buy The George and took possession of the pub at the beginning of February 2023. After refurbishment, the pub reopened on 26 May initially as a 'wet pub', food will follow once the kitchen has had further work completed. 4 handpumps.

Open on Bank holidays.

Buses from Ashford and Tenterden stop outside.

A proper village pub and CAMRA branch runner up Pub of the Year 2019.

Also opens as a Cafe Wednesday to Saturday 10:30 to 16:00
