The George Inn was situated at 94 High Street. This grade-II listed pub closed in 2014.

Originally an ABC (Aylesbury Brewery Company) pub it was one of the most attractive licensed building for miles around, much of it dating from the late medieval period. Throughout the eighties and nineties this perhaps the most popular pub in Great Missenden, offering a high level of food and drink as well as a lively atmosphere in the capable hands of Guy and Sally. When they loved on, the place began to drift, although it did for a while play host to a Thai restaurant. In recent years it has passed through a number of hands without ever being terribly successful and often being closed between tenants. Its future as a pub is very much in doubt but the age of the building means that the structure cannot be altered in any major way.
