Our story
A traditional village pub in Morton-on-Swale, more than a hundred years old and under new ownership.
Named after a warship
The Old Royal George takes its name from HMS Royal George, the great sailing warship you can see on our sign and in our logo.
For more than a century the pub has stood on the road through Morton-on-Swale, a few miles from Northallerton, welcoming locals, walkers and travellers through the same front door.
Traditional pub, fresh start
Under new ownership, the George has been lovingly refreshed while keeping its character: beams, an open fire, a long bar and a warm welcome. We have added three refurbished en-suite rooms behind the pub, each with air conditioning, so you can stay the night.
Our aim is simple: good beer, good food and a place where everyone feels at home.
Supporting the local community
Pubs have long been the heart of a community, and we are carrying on that tradition with an open and friendly space for village residents and visitors alike.
We run regular community events, quiz nights, live music and seasonal celebrations. If you have an idea for a new event, or would just like to get involved, we would love to hear from you.
