Website

A town centre Wetherspoon's, comprising a spacious L-shaped bar with a small raised alcove, with an enclosed beer garden to the rear, and other outside seating areas. Situated opposite the Hailsham Pavilion, a classic Edwardian auditorium, it is convenient for local shops and businesses, very popular with locals especially at the weekends when families often visit.

The George has a range of very reasonably priced ales, with at least one LocAle. Occasional 'Tap takeovers' from a single brewery take place. Up to eight ciders/perry are stocked, served from a dedicated cool room for optimum temperature. However, four of those currently offered no longer meet CAMRAs latest definitions of real cider. (i.e. Black Dragon, Moonshine, Whisky Cask and Old Rosie).

After several local CAMRA Branch awards for its cider, the pub reached ten consecutive years in the Good Beer Guide in 2024, the presentation picture above shows manager James (right) receiving the award from Roger, vice chair of the local CAMRA branch.
