Located in the heart of Castletown, the ancient capital of Mann, The George Hotel is a landmark destination steeped in character, history, and hearty hospitality. Housed in a registered historic building dating back to 1833, The George blends old-world charm with modern comforts, offering a traditional pub atmosphere alongside a menu that celebrates locally sourced produce, real ales, and home-cooked food with a creative twist.
Whether you're popping in for a relaxed lunch, settling in for evening drinks, or gathering for a family meal, The George has something for everyone. Open daily with lunch served from 12pm to 3pm and dinner from 5:30pm to 9pm, the pub offers an ever-changing menu of daily specials, seasonal dishes, and crowd-pleasing classics, all prepared fresh to order. Families are well looked after with a children’s menu, and dogs are welcome, making it a great all-rounder for locals and visitors alike.
The food menu is a true mix of British comfort food and global influences, with standout options like the Bunny Chow Curry — a South African street food-style dish served in a hollowed bun — and Bobotie with yellow rice and Mrs Balls chutney. Manx pride is evident throughout the menu, with local lamb appearing in dishes like the 12-hour roasted shredded lamb and Manx lamb bap with mint yoghurt.
Pub classics are also in full force: from fish and chips with homemade mushy peas, to hot pot pie of the day, spinach and mushroom lasagne, and a lineup of buttermilk chicken, steak, and curry dishes. The burger menu is extensive and imaginative, offering everything from the towering Big Daddy Burger and spicy Rocket Man to plant-based options like the Where’s the Beef? veggie burger and Halloumi & Guacamole.
At lunch, guests can also enjoy sandwiches served on fresh focaccia, while children’s meals and pizzas round out the selection, ensuring there’s something to suit every appetite.
The George is also a haven for real ale lovers, offering an ever-rotating selection of cask ales, including Okell’s, along with an excellent choice of boutique gins, bespoke spirits, and a carefully selected wine list. Whether you're enjoying a pint in the cosy bar or relaxing in the outdoor seating area, the drinks menu is just as thoughtfully curated as the food.
Open year-round and located just five minutes from the airport, The George is accessible, welcoming, and full of character. With accessible toilets, dog-friendly areas, and a friendly, knowledgeable team, it’s an ideal spot for anything from a casual pint to a memorable meal.
