Most Disliked
While most experiences are positive, some diners note that prices at George & Dragon can be slightly higher compared to neighboring pubs. This has sparked discussions among locals about perceived value for the offerings. Additionally, weekends can see an overwhelming crowd, especially Friday nights, causing a bit of a wait for food and drinks during peak hours. Some patrons also mentioned that, on busy nights, the intimate vibe can feel a bit stirred up, which may detract from the casual setting they expect. It's worth considering visiting during less crowded times for a more tranquil experience.

We went to the george and dragon last night (Mon 29th) and had a lovely dining experience. We were greeted by friendly and attentative staff who had good knowledge of the drinks and ordering process. We then proceeded to the garden which is well kept and a really nice space for outdoor dining and watching sport. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming this was helped by how polite and helpful the staff where. The food arrived in good timing and we where all pleasantly surprised at how large the portions are. We each had a burger and thoroughly enjoyed them! The beef burger was tender and super flavourful and the chips where crispy and fresh! Overall i would highly recomend this pub and hope to return in the future. 10/10

New landlord and small changes have made a big difference to this village pub. Had Sunday lunch and the food and service was outstanding. Outdoor space is refreshed and much improved. Table service is fast and efficient. Food and drinks were priced above other local pubs but I think it’s worth it.

Great pub with a good beer and food selection . Good quality is spot on and fairly priced . Beautiful garden out the back with plenty of seating . But gives you old skool English pub vibes which you can not beat

Amazing little pub! We expected it to be busy on a Saturday afternoon, but there was loads of outside space available! Absolutely beautiful building and plants in a slightly hidden location! Really friendly and helpful staff, parking available and good prices for drinks with a very tasty looking menu! Will definitely go again!

We had a couple of drinks with roast that was incredible. I also loved how cosy and artistic it was inside. I definitely felt very welcomed and will visit again.
