COUNTRY GEM

Our traditional country pub offers all the original rustic characteristics from stone walls and wooden floors, fused with cosy and contemporary touches.

The George Inn is a fantastic place to be all year round. Whether you’re snuggled by the woodburning fire during the winter or catching the rays in our courtyard during the hotter months, the George Inn is a perfect place to soak up the world.

RAMBLERS & HIKERS

With the Mendip hills on our doorstep, we are proud to have an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty as our neighbour. A clear paradise for walkers, this wild landscape is ready for adventure with everything from short strolls to challenging gorges.

LARGE GARDEN

After a long day exploring the historic village, immerse yourself in a relaxing oasis in our garden. It’s the perfect backdrop to indulge in our fantastic food and drink.

DOGS WELCOME

Whether you’re soaking up the sun in our garden, or snuggled by the log burner inside, you can do it all with man’s best friend by your side.

CELEBRATIONS

For your special occasions, you’ll feel whisked away in our private stonewalled function room, with space to laugh, drink and dine with all your guests.

Perfect for intimate dining events or business meetings we can ensure you’ll be taken care of, leaving you to enjoy your time.

Almost any occasion is possible here at The George. We're just at the end of the phone, so give us a call!

🎉 2 Years at The George in Backwell! 🎉 Two years ago we stepped behind the bar with big dreams and even bigger excitement — and what a journey it’s been! From welcoming familiar faces and making new friends, to serving countless pints, delicious meals, and creating memories in our lively community, we couldn’t be more grateful. The support from Backwell and beyond has been incredible, and we’re proud to call The George our home. Here’s to the laughs, the celebrations, the late-night chats, and everything in between. Thank you for being part of our story! Here’s to many more years of great drinks, fantastic food, and even better times together. We can’t wait to see what the next chapter holds! 🥂 #TheGeorgeBackwell #2YearsStrong #CommunityPub #ThankYou
