My family and I have been looking for a restaurant which serves a good roast dinner and after 2 months of searching this restaurant far out ways others. The food is well presented, piping hot and very tasty. I would highly recommend this restaurant, we travel a 40 minutes drive and know we’re not going to be disappointed. The George and Dragon has a lovely ambiance and the waitresses are very attentive and always go the extra mile to make sure that you have an enjoyable dining experience.

We had such a lovely meal. We appreciated your flexibility when I needed to increase the table from 4 to 7 with only a couple of hours notice on a very busy sunny Sunday. Whilst the pub was extremely busy, the staff worked like a well oiled machine, friendly and efficient. Well done everyone, we will be back!

We went for Sunday lunch last weekend. The staff are really friendly from the moment you walk in the door. There was four of us and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our roasts. Difficult to decide what to have for dessert as the choice was so good. All the food was excellent and the service really good. We will definitely be going back.

Roasts were amazing! We had a lamb platter for 2 for the grandparents, 4 Pork and a beef and all were amazingly cooked. The only thing we had to ask for was more gravy for one of them for preference. Booking nans bday next!

I have only recently returned to the George & Dragon after about 20 years. It is now a regular on my list of reliable places to take lunch. The menu choice, food and service are all predictably positive experiences. Julie is particularly commendable; welcoming, attentive to our visits, always remembers our names and amenable with all your guests.

We loved it - the new owners have done an amazing job - got the old feel back! Just one suggestion - more vegetables with the mains please -I had a wonderful pie and mash but it needed more veg with it. We thought just a couple of tiny pieces of tenderstem broccoli was disappointing. Oh, and the service was great - the people are lovely. Overall - fantastic. See you soon :)

Unfortunately we were running a bit late so ended up behind a party of 40! Not a major problem. All the staff were very friendly and one in particular made it her business to make sure we were kept informed about the delay and did her best to make the wait tolerable. Think her name was Tanya.

Owners were away for the weekend so did not get the full experience. The staff coped well but the young waitress needs a bit of training ie. Bring the cutlery before the meal is served and knowledge of food and drinks availability. Also the wine list did not provide details of wines by the glass. A lovely old building but mind your head if over 6 foot tall!

Ambience, environment great. Service friendly and efficient. Food: vegs great, potatoes not so (felt a tad undercooked and reheated), yorkshires burntish, beef absolutely beautiful and pink. Plates cold. A bit picky I know but you asked me! Had better, had worse. Be back!

Lovely comfortable private room, & friendly staff. Food was adequate, but took ages to arrive due to staff shortages in the kitchen, although we were kept informed by the staff, we waited nearly an hour for our meal.

We went for a roast dinner on a Sunday. The pub itself is lovely and staff were very friendly, however service was a bit slow. The staff weren’t very clued up on allergens, and didn’t actually check if there were any allergies at the table. The staff gave the impression that the kitchen would be a bit inflexible in regards to allergens which gave limited options for that person. Most places will happily accommodate an odd change here and there and potentially even make suggestions on what they could do, but not here- they just implied as is on the menu, that’s it. There was quite a wait between each course although the restaurant was busy, it wasn’t full. The meat was very good and nicely cooked however the veg was overcooked and a bit limp. The cauliflower cheese looked more like soup. They also had no apple sauce to go with the pork, but didn’t say so until after it had been brought out - not the end of the world, but disappointing when you’ve been waiting so long. Additionally the servings came with a very little amount of gravy and the Yorkshire puddings were dry and tough and very small (made with muffin tins rather than yorkie tins for sure!) - it felt like an average roast you would have cooked at home rather than a ‘going out for a meal’ roast. However with the backdrop and the pretty little pub that it is, with friendly staff- it was a nice visit. Probably wouldn’t come back for a roast again though.
