Pleasant venue by the water - though note that not all of the tables have a water view. We had a veggie Sunday roast, a lamb Sunday roast and a chicken starter platter (intended for 2 people - pictured).Overall quite happy with the food with just a few niggles - the chips were not rosemary salted as proclaimed by the menu and we had not consented to having ordinary chips instead; the lamb itself was small and chewy; and the Yorkshire puddings were hard as old boots. But the veg, chicken and gravy were all pleasant. On service, we were seen promptly enough at the bar despite it being a busy Sunday lunchtime, though we were not all served our food at the same time (I know one was a starter, but we did ask for it all to come out at the same time) which is obviously a little antisocial, items were not cleared for us and one bar worker had a hacking cough which made us a little uncomfortable.Prices were ok given the location, brightness of the interior, avoidance of crowding.

Fine pub with nice outdoor area looking onto the river and midsommer common. Good for value can get a bit crowded in the evenings. Food is really nice and well cooked. Go here to unwind.

Went with my girlfriend. Great food and such a great location. The views are amazing and breathtaking but service is just as good. I mentioned it was my other half's birthday and we were treated to a free fudge cake which was such a nice gesture from the team. I would highly recommend to visit on special occasion or pop in for a visit while walking on the Common! Thank you team fort St george!

A good pub by the Riverside. It's a Greene King pub, so naturally lacks some of the character of an independent, but has managed to retain most of its charm. It has a small selection of real ales - naturally most are Greene King ales but they do have some guest brews. The locale and ambience make up for the generic nature of a franchise pub.

Lovely location and service was quick. Food is pretty standard Greene King fare but wasn't too pricey at around £10 per main. Unfortunately a few things weren't available on thr menu. Only other small qualm was that despite it not being that busy, none of our plates or glasses were cleared away, so 45 minutes after we'd finished we still had our plates in front of us.

A sweet pub overlooking the water, not far from the college boat houses, also backing onto the green. As a fan of Camden Brewery, I was delighted to find their pale ale on draught. Extensive indoor and outdoor seating, peaceful and relaxing

The pub is located by the river 20 minutes walk from the spot full of tourists. I am very happy to find it. Very quiet and nice view. The steak cooked excellent! I would definitely recommend family or friends enjoy meal there.

This is a great pub in front of Midsummer Common.The service is good, they have a good variety of drinks, and food is really good.They have two terraces. One is near the river, which is nice but usually busy and not easy to find a table, and the other one is in front of the Midsummer Common.Would definitely recommend it!!

Named after the Fort St George pub near its southern end. The unusual name of the pub, commonly abbreviated to just 'Fort St George', but, now better known as The Fort reflects a supposed resemblance to the East India Company's Fort St George at Madras (now Chennai) in India. This bridge is now open for use by cyclists.
