About The George Charles

The George Charles opened in West Didsbury in September 2015 and quickly established itself as a firm favourite with local diners. It’s named after a previous owner of the site, an Armenian man who married an English girl and opened an exotic fruit shop on the premises in the 1890s. The modern interior design carefully celebrates the building’s Victorian heritage throughout, including a unique feature wall which contains ten different styles of Victorian cornicing. Modern British dishes feature alongside small plates with brunch, lunch and evening menus available every day as well as a hugely popular Sunday Roast. The Salt Beef Hash, cooked to the owner’s special recipe, has never been off the menu since opening and all food is prepared from scratch on the premises. The wine list offers plenty of options with most available by the glass and there is a large selection of gins from local distillers behind the bar as well as 10 keg and three cask lines – as well as prosecco on tap. Keep an eye out for the regular food and wine evenings.

After ringing and asking if you could do me an omelette I travelled down with a friend after booking to be told you could not do as I had asked an SF to be honest the man was very rude so thankyou very much

A real treat of a neighbourhood bar. Open almost all day everyday for coffee and cake through brunch, the cocktail hour and evening food. It’s informal, cozy with interesting beers, Cocktails, a small but good wine list and friendly staff. All the things you could ask for. Oh, and it’s dog friendly too. At dusk, it’s candle lit and charming. Love it.

Came for Sunday Lunch yesterday and the food was lovely. There were 6 of us and we are 50/50 meat eaters / veggies. You have a good choice for veggies and my only suggestion (very minor) is to have something like a veggie sausage option with the Sunday Roast. Veggie loaf / nut roasts etc arnt always everyone choice. We'll be back again soon, please give this place a try and its really cool.

Booked for a friends Christmas meal, we all had a different dish from the menu and absolutely loved the food. A mix of traditional and unique meals. Good portions, really tasty, delicious! The staff were welcoming and attentive.

I have attended for several larger work's gatherings downstairs, in the cosy room available for private booking, and have had quick lunches or drinks upstairs. Most recently had a Christmas do with the added bonus of some carol singers! Whatever the occasion, the food has always been great and the ambience very welcoming. Staff team, Clare and James to name two , are always very friendly and helpful. Definitely one of the best in West Didsbury in my opinion. Amanda & friends
