“I recently had a knee operation at St George’s Hospital, and I can’t speak highly enough of the care and professionalism I experienced throughout my stay. From the moment I arrived, Lynda at reception made me feel welcome and reassured, setting a positive tone for my visit. The nursing team on Ward 3 was nothing short of exceptional. Catherine, Sarah, Melissa, Dawn, and student nurse Jess all went out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and well cared for. Their kindness, patience, and dedication made a real difference to my recovery, and I am truly grateful for their support. I know there may be other staff members who also contributed to my care, and I sincerely appreciate all their efforts, even if I haven’t mentioned them by name. The hospital facilities were also impressive. My single room was kept spotlessly clean, which added to my comfort during my stay. The meals were well-prepared and tasty, ensuring I was well-nourished as I recovered. Overall, my experience at St George’s Hospital was outstanding. The staff’s professionalism and compassion made all the difference, and I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone in need of care. Thank you to everyone who played a part in my recovery!”

“The Piccolo, double shot really wake me up !”

“We went for lunch for my sister-in-law's birthday. My daughter and I ordered specific dishes(as she doesn't eat all things, like a lot of teens), and has to be careful of peanuts. She had chicken stirfy and I had a pork and noodle dish. The others ordered a variety of starters and main dishes to share. Everyone loved the food. So tasty, the flavours are fantastic and good portions, we managed to take left overs for my partner to try. Would definitely go back. Thank you for a wonderful meal.”
