In May 2023 a new landlady, Annette Brown took over the lease of the George in Keswick.

However, it is all change again and another new Marston’s tenant is at the helm.

Latest addition is a television in the bar, which is something that has never been seen in there before.

The George is the oldest hotel/bar in Keswick, dating back to the time of the English Civil War. It is a Grade 2 listed building and has many original features.

Although it sold locally brewed Jennings ales for many years, before Jennings Brewery acquired it as a tied house it sold Yates beer and before that sold Youngers and McEwans ales.

The snug on the left also used to have its own bar.

It used to be the busiest bar in town for local beer drinkers
