In 1840 Lyonshall boasted seven pubs: now only The Royal George remains.

Built in 1600 just one storey high it was called The George Inn, until the major naval disaster in 1782 when the flagship <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A853706" target="_blank">The Royal George</a> sank at Spithead with the loss of 900 lives: the pub was then renamed The Royal George Inn.

Additions to extend the pub have been carried out over the years; in the 30's the kitchen was a cider mill, and four acres of orchard behind the pub supplied the fruit for the cider.

The Royal George is a village pub at the heart of the community and with community interests at heart. Our intention is for The George to be a pub the villagers can be proud of because of its welcoming atmosphere, its fine selection of well kept cask ales and carefully selected wines and the good home cooked food, using locally sourced ingredients, available in the restaurant.
