George and Dragon in Richmondshire

We visited here after reading some encouraging reviews and noting that “booking is essential for food”, we thought it would be a safe bet while we were in the area. Unfortunately, the 2 stars are for service along as the bar staff were very polite and helpful. They are also dog friendly which is a bonus. Other than that, the food was not impressive. We had the Sunday roast and the beef tasted of poor quality, and vegetables were not seasoned and lacked flavour. The cabbage served with the meal was pickled which wasn’t what we expected. We were still hungry afterwards but didn’t want to waste any more money on desert in case it was more of the same. The decor is very tired and the place does lack atmosphere unfortunately. We didn’t drink alcohol but they have a wide variety of ales to choose from behind the bar. We won’t be returning, sadly!

Cracking food at a reasonable price. Staff go out of their way to ensure everything about your visit is great. We will be back. Andy

Great evening at the George and Dragon for Stu’s legendary pie night - delicious steak and kidney for me and rave reviews for both the beef and the rabbit. We were spoilt for choice for quality beers but for me the Rudgate Ruby was spot on. This pub has got it all and is not to be missed if you’re in the area.

We went to the themed Turkish evening last Saturday - what an amazing feast it was - mezze sharing platters for starters followed by a choice of lovely kebabs with fabulous accompaniments - the BBQ veg were particularly delicious Fantastic food and great value

Our first visit since Stuart’s return. If you want proper pies and ale, with great service then look no further. We both had the wild rabbit, leek & mushroom. We both had braised red cabbage. I had mash and my husband had chips. It was superb and the ales we sampled, likewise. The customer service and background information provided by Alex was first rate. We will look forward to our next visit soon.

Went with friends today for a Sunday roast and weren’t disappointed, large portions, a great range of veg, some had the excellent beef and others had large slices of the superb nut roast, friendly and prompt service at a reasonable price. We’ll be back.

New Year’s Day lunch with friends - fabulous food as always with a wide selection of beers including some great non alcoholic options for those driving. The pub was full to capacity with a great atmosphere - a good mix of locals and visitors. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly and we didn’t have to wait long for food despite the busy service

Sampled their rabbit pie yesterday. Very tasty and good value. Went back today for lunchtime drinks. Excellent selection of real ales. Something for everyone's taste. Highly recommended, whether you're a local or just passing through. Welcome back, Stu.

Amazing food, great service. The steak and ale pie was amazing and hubby said the rabbit pie was too. Really good value for money, very generous portions. An amazing selection of beers, shame we were driving! A very warm welcome and a lovely lunch. We will be back!

Just had the privilege of enjoying the first famous pies of Stu's new tenancy. As good as they ever were we had a splendid meal. Steak and Ale and Rabbit pies washed down with some great real ales. Oh and another amazing addition to the real ale offering.... 10 more taps! Booking recommended. Great service, staff friendly, professional and very knowledgeable about all the ales. Whole atmosphere is very welcoming. We'll definitely be back.

We called in for lunch as it was close to the A1 and we were travelling from Cambridge to Newcastle. The food was great value and the staff very friendly. We will call in here again when next doing this journey.

Lovely pub, very friendly staff and great food. We went here for Sunday lunch, lovely atmosphere and a nice view. I am coeliac and so have to have a gluten free diet and the staff were able to adapt the roast dinner to gluten free including gluten free gravy. They reassured me that this was free from cross contimatination and I did not have any reaction. Very impressed by the service. Thank you

Delicious food. Good portions, tasty veg and tender meat. Plenty of gravy. Deserts also yummy. I had the lamb and the rhubarb and apple pie. Speedy and very pleasant service from the village volunteers. Highly recommended

Sunday lunch did not disappoint. Fantastic nut roast today! And beef went down very well too. Lovely staff. Thank you.

Great Sunday lunch from Stuart and Keith. Super beer, in a comfortable country pub well loved by locals from far around! What could be a better way to while away some time with friends and family

The George & Dragon is in my opinion the best pub in Yorkshire. Been going for 6 years and although it’s had a few recent changes of landlord and is on the look out for another, as a community owned pub it is an absolute pleasure to visit. At the moment only serving Sunday lunch but worth the trip for that alone and plenty of choice of great beer. Give it a try and you will not be disappointed.

We stopped into the George & Dragon for a pint & packet of crisps each as sustenance on a walk with our dog. The drinks were excellent, crisps tasty, dog treats well received, views fabulous & staff very friendly. We'll definitely be returning & plan to book Sunday lunch soon.

We called in for a drink while staying in Hudswell on holiday. Such a warm and friendly welcome, good prices and it is very dog friendly too. The views from the garden are amazing. This is a community run pub, so please support if you get the chance.

Such a treat. Been a while since we've been here. Sunday Roast didn't disappoint. Gravy..proper gravy. Meat so tender, roasties crispy, cauliflower cheese, roast veg plus mash... just managed to fit in a cask beer...oh and blackberry donuts. May not eat for a while. That was just the food. Staff great.

We had Sunday lunch with friends - everyone loved the food - the service was quick and friendly despite the pub being very busy. The lamb was excellent and plentiful and the veg were amazing. We couldn’t resist the homemade puddings which were also excellent - great to see the George and Dragon back. Can’t wait for the next visit 😍

First Sunday lunch we have had in a while. Can’t wait to go back. The lamb was delicious. Loved the red cabbage , roasted veg and cauliflower cheese. Even the puddings were all home made.

Due the last landlord moving on, the George and Dragon is now being run by volunteers until a new tenant is found. The drinks are up to their usual high standards, lots of choice from many local breweries. Food is only served on Sundays at present, a previous landlord is back in the kitchen to help out. The roast beef was excellent served with a good, and large, selection of vegetables. If you haven't been for a while, come up to Hudswell and give the pub another go, you won't be disappointed.

Came here on good trip advisor recommendations. Was very much looking forward to the home made pie but it failed to impress. All food came out ridiculously fast so was obviously reheated. Begrudged paying for it but didn’t dare complain as the chef is also the landlord so wouldn’t have got very far. Wasn’t nice to see him vaping inside constantly in front of paying guests. Barman was a delight of a man and couldn’t do enough to please. Garden is unkept and scruffy. Establishment appears to be riding off the back of positive reviews from the past owners.

Sadly not the pub it used to be. Tired in places and what was a beautiful garden needs attention. Very limited in terms of gluten free options with the excuse of 'It's a very small kitchen'. Food was a mixed bag - some good meals,...

Went with 4 adults, 2 children for Sunday lunch. There is no kids menu and my daughter didn't want a roast so she ordered lasagna as the only real kid friendly item on the menu. I think it was made either with actual chilies or...

Lovely dog friendly countryside pub with incredible home cooked food made from local produce. We went as a family of four with no reservation and we were greeted by warm friendly staff. Great menu, with lovely specials and even treats to purchase for your dog....

The food was good, an alternating range of beers, some brewed locally. Dog friendly. Outside eating and seating areas to rear with a fantastic view. The staff were brilliant and very friendly. Unfortunately our experience was soured by the grumpy owner remonstrating with his staff...

Just had the most amazing breakfast at the G&D. Local sausages, bacon, black pudding, beautifully poached eggs, mushrooms, grilled tomato, hash brown, baked beans and toast. Coffee was gorgeous and tea in vintage cup and saucer. Great Yorkshire quality and value for money.

An absolutely lovely meal. I have coeliac disease and they went out of their way to accommodate me. I had a curry and the chef mad me a gluten free nan bread. My husband had a steak pie and it was absolutely delicious. Portions were...

We came here for dinner while staying in the area we ordered the Fish Goujons the Dragon Burger and the George Burger all food was lovely. Can highly recommend the burgers lovely tasting and massive portions, the staff are all lovely and made our dogs...

The best homemade plate pies absolutely superb coupled with an amazing Real selection I had the Banoffee Milkshake Stout, cheese & onion pie didn’t disappoint pie packed full. I desperately wanted a pudding but had no room.

Lovely friendly village pub owned and run by locals. Dog friendly! Food top class, warm and cosy on a wet and miserable evening. Worth a visit anytime of year. Definitely recommend.

So we are pie hunters, for real. We scour the Dales for the best of ‘em. We found it here, right here tonight. Proper homemade. No messing. And what a change to have leeks and beans as an accompaniment. Plus a singer! Julia Buckley -...

Been here before visiting the area. This place has spectacular views out the back so fab for sunny days. Inside the fire was lit as it has been each time. Having traversed far n wide round this sceptred isle it is brilliant to find a...

Not much good when the pub is in a popular walking area. Does that mean take the boots off? Or knock the mud off them first? (as any decent customer would anyway) we didn’t hang around to find out. I’ve seen plenty “Muddy Boots Welcome!”...

Monday night visit so we didn’t expect the pub to be busy, which it wasn’t. I was part of a large group of 13 that were out for a work meal. The staff that greeted us could not have been more pleasant and welcoming on...

Called here on a Tuesday lunchtime to find that only sandwiches are served on Monday and Tuesday. Fine-we each ordered a toasted bagel, ham and tomato and a tuna melt. When they arrived they were inedible,burnt on the bottom and cheese not melted.The owner arrived...

Terrible experience today at this usually great pub. Took some friends from Darlington as the food is usually outstanding. Today we paid £15 for a roast dinner with all the trimmings. The portion was not enough for a child. Half a carrot half a roast...

Read some good reviews online l liked the look of the food so phoned up to ask for a takeaway meal of braised steak pie with veg & chips so going off the original pubs website and menu . However it's since changed hands and...

Popped in for lunch the other day with our dog and was made very welcome,the burgers were really great,we will be back.

Mothers Day Lunch was such a disappointment. All 4 meals were lukewarm.The 2 roast potatoes were too tough and chewy to actually cut and one shot across the table. We all had a laugh at the lack of mash potato, we had a heaped teaspoon...

The food was was very good - generous portions and friendly service. I didn’t know what to expect when ordering the cheese and onion pie for our veggie daughter but it was very tasty.

It is not often you find a pub with friendly owners, great food, excellent beer, exceptional value, dog friendly and cozy atmosphere. This pub hits the mark on all accounts. Thank you for a superb visit yesterday. Highly recommend.

Booked a Monday night to meet up with friends and we were not disappointed. Very welcoming landlord and a great host. The choice of beers was superb with a choice of 2 stouts which suited me down to the ground. All 4 of us had...

Great Sunday lunch. Perfect home cooking in a real pub. Excellent roast beef and all the trimmings the nut roast was alsovery tasty. And the sticky toffee pudding was a great way to finish it all off. Good beer as well. Highly recommended.

Visited as a family of five for an evening meal. Very ordinary food and drinks. Service was ok but tables, crockery and the whole place slightly grubby. Food appeared to be quickly thrown on a plate and of a low quality. Wouldn't recommend.

Absolutely lovely. One of the best pubs I have been to in an age. Huge beer selection, well kept and tasty. Friendly staff. Incredible food - though you should go hungry because the portions are huge. Veto popular with walkers in Dales and it is...

Had a walk out for lunch and came to the George and Dragon in Hudswell. Very busy for a afternoon but got an outside table without issues. Ordered the pork and beef sandwiches which were delicious and filling. Great ales and ciders on tap too....

Lovely local,old fashioned Yorkshire pub. Sunday lunch amazing and vegetarian options. Dog friendly and walks near by. Great outdoor area and great views. Fire burning by the bar. Would return. Set in a lovely village.

Great "proper" pies!! We had steak and ale and the cheese pie - both were excellent. (I never choose the pie eating out as the quality is usually poor and this was just like homemade pie). Good gluten free choice for coeliac member of our...

Visited as a family with my wife, son and daughter in law. Pre-booked for 1330. Menu was very simple with a variety of roasts including a vegetarian nut roast. We all opted for roast beef and were not disappointed. Well presented. Good selection of vegetables...

We met friends for Sunday lunch and weren't disappointed. A great selection of beers, friendly service and lovely location. Roasts with plenty of veg and good meat and a veggie option too. Traditional selection of puds and all reasonably priced. Will go again.

Went here for dinner whilst on holiday in Richmond and honestly the loveliest country pub ever… Food was just outstanding and bar man was great too. And extremely reasonably priced. Cannot fault it Cannot understand the bad reviews , they must be bonkers

Our lunchtime stop off on a walk from / back to Richmond. I doubt I’ll be saying anything different to the other reviewers but if you happen to be in the area you have to pay a visit. Tasty pies, great beer and a stunning view, all served by friendly and enthusiastic staff. Can’t fault it.

Unfortunately the beer and the view outside (weather permitting) is the only good thing about this pub. The food is basic and somewhat tasteless. My husband had the steak and ale pie, which wouldn’t pass muster if I had cooked it! I had chips with pulled pork which was spoilt by the synthetic tasting sauce it was in. I wouldn’t say it was a friendly reception and the decor is a mishmash of old, uncomfortable looking furniture. Our visit was only because we were staying local. It’s really not worth the visit.

We were staying locally and this pub was recommended by the hosts of our accommodation. This is a very traditional Yorkshire pub with friendly welcoming staff and super views from the restaurant and terrace. The roast beef dinner was one of the best roasts we have had and included everything you would hope for: cauliflower cheese, red cabbage, crispy potatoes, plenty of gravy and an enormous, perfectly cooked Yorkshire pud. All for £11! The sticky toffee pudding served with vanilla ice cream was equally as tasty. We will definitely return next time we’re in the area. Thank you!

This pub was recommended to us, we walked from Richmond to be met by a frosty unpleasant barman. Wish you weren’t here dirty looks, wish I wasn’t here vibes. Apparently the beer is good hence 2 stars.Never going back as life is short, the world is big and unless we call out filthy bad service nothing will ever change. Don’t bother with this pub, there’s plenty better out there.

This pub is a real gem. We had the brisket and the pie of the day followed by yorkshire parkin, everything was home made and absolutely delicious. Staff were brilliant, really friendly and helpful and service was super quick. Great selection of real ales and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Everything you would want from a country pub, absolutely spot on. Would definitely recommend.

We visited Saturday evening, Sunday lunch and Monday evening. Couldn't fault any of the meals in quality and portions. Drinks were local brews too. Great value for money around £10-11 for mains

We were told about this pub and decided to try a lunchtime visit. The socially distanced arrangements were very well laid out. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The food was fantastic. We had been told the pies were good so opted for a wensleydale and onion pie accompanied by chips and the best red cabbage ever and a steak and kidney pie with proper mushy peas. great food and great value for money.

Enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch in the beer garden in a pub which was clearly Covid secure. Outdoor toilets for those in the beer garden, attentive waiting staff and one way system.

Walked to the pub through Hudswell Woods from Richmond on a lovely spring day. We were lucky to get one of the last available tables and enjoyed our time. The choice of drinks is varied and the staff are great. Mixed reviews on the food - the homemade chips were the best thing ever, but the homemade cheese and onion pie and the lamb kebabs were not to our taste. Would def visit again though.

Entered the pub to covid overdrive. Staff,however, walked through on the their mobile phone with no facemask. We had a table which we had to move from at 6.35pm when those it was reserved for at 7 arrived early. Anyway not too much of a problem until just gone 7 when the staff decided that everyone needed on their evening out to listen to the latest announcement from Boris Johnson!! Turned up to fill volume!! Sorry atmosphere destroyed!! And when asked if it could be turned down ignored!! Oh and if you want to be covid secure practice what you preach. Saw staff high fiving.... the table we moved to was not cleaned (tbh I don't really care) also the beer mats from the table we left were not changed. Oh and the one way system is just stupid because I could leave via the door I am sat next to minimising my risk to and from others, but no I am forced to walk through the pub last numerous other tables and people. If you want a night of being made to feel like you have to obey and listen to the news without choice this is the place to be!!

Went here with a friend and 2 dogs, which they catered for really well. We had to wait at a small table with our drinks until one became free for food, which they let us know of straight away. Us both being vegetarian, we had the cheese and onion pie with chips & braised red cabbage - amazing! The prices were very cheap and the staff were very friendly and really attentive. Also, the view from the outside seats is incredible. Would recommend

We went to the George and Dragon en route to the North East for Sunday lunch - and liked it so much we stopped off again on our way back. Great food, great beer, lovely spot, many thanks to everyone

Love this place .. New to area and so pleased we've found the George and Dragon. Lovely friendly staff great beers and the most fantastic Sunday lunches in the whole of the land and sticky toffee pudding heavenly. Mid week lunches and pies amazing too and outside views fabulous. Can't wait for Sunday!

Amazing food, good vegetarian choices. Home made pies delicious and some of the nicest homemade chips ever. Covid safe too.

What a find! Lovely country pub. Staff are brilliant, really friendly & more than helpful. The food is beautiful - delicious & home cooked. Large beer garden at the rear of the pub & the views from here are amazing. Can imagine it being lovely sitting out in the summer.

I don't often write more than one review of pubs we have visited, but with the George and Dragon I will make an exception. This is just such a brilliant pub. Fantastic food - the pies are home made and served with proper gravy. The chips are just sensational!!! We were lucky to be there this week on one of their 'specials' nights - Curry night. Normally I would never eat a pub curry, but the curries on offer were absolutely gorgeous. Now that Stuart has started brewing his own beer it adds a further dimension - and believe me they are very good!!! The whole team who work their are friendly and welcoming - I just wish we didn't have to drive 75 miles to get there!!!

Visited for lunch as we were staying nearby. As we entered the pub we were met by a friendly guy who explained all the COVID procedures and showed us the specials on the board so we didn’t have to get up later to look. My husband and I both had pie which was lovely . Light pastry and plenty of filling. Well cooked chunky chips. Service was friendly at all times . The locals were very friendly . Great views out the back in the garden .

A few of us had a meal in the G&D a couple of nights ago, it was quieter than normal due to the Covid distancing restrictions, so lacked some of its usual atmosphere, but the food and service were excellent as ever, staff very cheery despite what must be worrying times for them.

The three young staff that were on duty done a very good job to make sure everyone was covid safe and were all very friendly and helpful.The pie, chips and mushy peas were very tasty as was the apple and rhubarb crumble with custard and the chocolate brownie.Beautiful views from the terrace at the back of the pub.

A few days break in Swaledale took us to the George and dragon for a delicious Sunday roast. We are in difficult times with covid regulations about to change yet again but everything was well organised and we had a lovely meal. The dog was even given a dog treat and made a fuss of, which he appreciated. I had the nut roast and my husband the roast beef, both had a good size Yorkshire pudding with a range of vegetables including delicious red cabbage. After a pause the ginger Parkin and ice cream also went down very well. Thanks for the welcome and friendly atmosphere. Better add that the rage of craft beers was very welcome by my other half.

Having called with friends we found some of the staff had not much idea how to deal with the new rules for COVID try to do a bit but to me it was not good enough. Cleaning tables after what a joke Ask the staff something one of the older member of staff something just blanked us How ever this pub won an award is beyond me we will not be back far better pub down the road at the Holly inn

Having read all the reviews was really looking forward to visiting and being blown away by the food but unfortunately we weren't, don't get me wrong it was nice but nothing amazing. We had asked if we could have garden peas instead of mushy but the chef was obviously not open to this request, was busy being the last night of the government scheme and by the looks of it by himself in the kitchen but they were offered on other meals. Staff worked hard in the big garden area keeping orders flowing. We were lucky enough to visit on nice evening but can imagine others aren't with only the outside area open. Lots of covid procedures in place.

This is a lovely pub with amazing views which has the best home made pies. We have been before on a nice summer's day but unfortunately this year we booked to go just as Storm Francis hit and the only available seating due to Covid19 was outside under open sided gazebos so it was very cold and wet! However the service was brilliant as was the food although it could've done with being a bit hotter. The pub is doggy friendly and there is a lovely walk nearby through the woods.

Evening sunshine, amazing view, great facilities, and fantastic food. Everything is as Covidsafe as it can be - efficient and easy to follow - they've really thought about how to make it work and still be as pleasurable as possible. The staff are friendly, totally professional and attend to everyone quickly. Their job is much harder now as it is strict table service...and there are steps between the various levels people can eat. Although a reduced menu and gone are sharing platters they go all out to make everything the best they can. Beer is high quality too.. if you like real ale I've never been anywhere to better it as their many CAMRA awards attest..and the best beer brewed by the Landlord #livebrew.

Friendly and efficient service during COVID times. There procedures to ensure people were distanced and safe were very practical. Staff friendly and helpful, food delicious and lovely views. We came for a drink and stayed for lunch!

Incredible food and service with amazing views. The pies were delicious - I had the cheese and onion which was so flavoursome (unlike the usual vegetarian offering) - with yummy sides. Very well organised with social distancing, outdoor toilets, ordering from tables and outdoor tables well-spaced under a marquee. Book in advance. Can't recommend highly enough - go! (Dog friendly too).

Booked for Sunday lunch having found the pub in the Good Beer Guide. Social distancing was well thought through and the views from the terrace are simply stunning. Enjoyed a pint each if great beer and then an amazingly delicious nut roast (with appropriate trimmings). Fantastic and then a scrumptious banana cake for pub. And with fantastic staff, can’t wait for our next visit.

We walked up the many steps to the George & Dragon for a long awaited pub lunch. We were slightly nervous after lock down and with all the changes to establishments following easing of the restrictions. On arrival there were clear one way signs and the new system for ordering was clearly explained to us before being shown to our table overlooking the stunning view. We immediately felt relaxed and fully appreciated all the safety measures the team had put in place. The food was amazing we all had pie and it made the hike up the steps well worth it. I have to say the banana cake was one of the best I have ever tasted it was delicious. The staff were very professional and despite a busy lunchtime there were no long waits for food or drinks. As our first trip out following lock down this was a really positive experience thank you George & Dragon team

Haven't been on a Sunday for a while and certainly wasn't disappointed. Had worked up an appetite walking up to the viewpoint. One beef one lamb roast. Meat soft and juicy, toasties crisp and fluffy, windy puds my mum would be proud of and gravy beautiful thick and meaty. Beer perfectly conditioned and poured with care. Service warm, friendly, efficient and professional. Maybe I've been a bit wordy here but 'wow' didn't quite say it all.

A group of 11 of us were staying in the village for birthday/anniversary celebrations. Called for a drink when we arrived on the Friday - the pub was very welcoming and the staff were lovely. Warm & cosy atmosphere and good selection of ales and other drinks. I had emailed the pub beforehand to book a table for us all on the Saturday evening, glad I had as all tables were reserved. Menu wasn’t massive - but that suited us all as sometimes too much choice is off putting. Everything we had was spot on - my husband said the steak pie was one of the best he’d ever had and my lamb hotpot was beautiful. The staff were friendly, helpful and lovely. Such good value for money and every one of us enjoyed what they’d ordered. A few of the party called for drinks on Sunday and really enjoyed - all tables booked up again for Sunday lunch and my son ordered a lamb dinner to ‘keep him on’ until our evening meal - said it was spot on.

What a great place - like going back in time to a traditional country village pub run by people with passion and providing great beer and fantastic quality pub food. If you are near make sure you go and whilst you sit drinking and eating smile as you are also supporting a community pub.

One of those Sunday dinner without anything green. Easy red cabbage, carrot only in bowl of diced roasted parsnips but was quite cold. Cauliflower cheese contained 3 florets between 4 of us. Meat not much taste. Another meal where you feel leaving disappointed.

Stayed in the village for a few days and visited here for an evening meal. Great ales and a very friendly atmosphere with a roaring fire. Food was great and plenty of it with gluten free options as well. Definitely recommend

Very welcome resting spot after a long walk and climbing a lot of steps. The brew was well priced and the views are stunning. Worth nipping in if you’re walking by. We didn’t eat but it smelt lovely inside.

Walked here from flowery dell. Dogs welcome not a bad little place .ordered food pie crusts where very well done and was wasted .chips were lovely and the sandwiches quite expensive for what you got. Wouldn't visit again holly hill was much better food .

Four, 5 including our dog, of us arrived on New Years Day for lunch and the place was packed with locals, walkers and dogs, we waited a while with a pint in hand for a table and were rewarded with a superb meal. The George specialises in pies, we a had cheese and onion, (Wensleydale of course) and steak and kidney pies, unfortunately they had run out of roast potatoes but the chips were of similar size and just as tasty.There were only two people that we could see, a barman who was very chatty and helpful with little waiting time for drinks, and a lady who served the meals, cleared the tables, avoided the various dogs and helped us with our choices. All in all brilliant, efficient service, it makes you wonder why other pubs and restaurants have so many people to attend to you.The range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks was extensive, As a community pub this is brilliant and well worth the support from anybody and everybody who visits the Richmond area.

Simple menu, brilliantly executed. Staff and service, friendly, efficient and polite. The cheese and onion pie was absolutely spot on as was the steak and kidney. Nice pastry and loads of fillings. The chips were ‘proper’ and the roasted veg a delight. Decent hand pulled beer and a fair wine selection means we will definitely go back!

Great friendly pub with good beer and great pies. Only problem is prising the men out! Love it. Great place.

Really good Sunday lunch, most of us had beef, one pork and a highly recommended nut roast. Good selection of sides, mashed and roast potato, braised red cabbage,cauliflower cheese, roast root veg. Highly recommend the deserts. Fantastic value and friendly service

Had rad about the pub and decided we would all go. They did smaller portions for children. Husband and son loved the cheese pie. My steak pie was very very tasty too. Happily full, we walked the mile back to lodges. Great service by staff on a busy night.

A menu based on pies was different but we were not disappointed. The cheese and onion pie was fantastic and something you never see on a menu. We also had the braised red cabbage and roasted root vegetables.

Staying just down the road, we decided to walk to the pub for our evening meal. We arrived ordered a drink and viewed the menu along with the specials. Although the menu is not as extensive as I was hoping for (really fancied steak) we both found something that we were looking forward to.

This pub is fantastic. Great food, beer and view. The homemade pies are delicious. There is a pie of the week along with other specials and a good menu of other pies and choices. There is an excellent choice of vegetables and potatoes and the extra gravy comes in a little jug.

We went to Richmond to wander around the castle and the shops.. had googled where to go for lunch previously and based on the reviews on trip advisor we chose this place. We walked along the river from Richmond which I can highly recommend (the route is described on a link on the pub’s website). Had a warm welcome and friendly service.

Whilst on a break in North Yorkshire we were lured from Upper Wharfedale, where we were staying, to a village just outside Richmond, by the promise of excellent food (according to trip advisor) in the North West Yorkshire pub of the year,the George and Dragon at Hudswell.Oh how we wished we hadn't.

Welcoming pub with a fantastic views, Good dinner time selection of food, the steak pie was amazing at a great price. Will definitely be back

My wife and I were advised to go to the George and Dragon by our Caravan Site Host, he said we would not be disappointed and we weren't, the food was stunning!!!
