George and the Dragon in Stafford

Super micro pub, great host and team on the bar!..... Always a warm welcome and well kept beers ... always lovely to pop in when in the area! c

Great little real ale pub, good selection of real ales,ciders and gins. Very friendly landlord and locals. Good cheese & onion and ham cobs and lovely bloomers and tin loaves are sold on Thursdays.

Great small family pub, great choice of drinks on offer, Beer and Cider.

We have revisited The George & Dragon in July 2024 for a drink .We were all very pleased we called in as we were really impressed by the quality of the Facers Flintshire Mountain Mild . This would appear to a nearly permanently basis . It is a superb example of a dark mild for only £3.60 a pint . Visited George and the Dragon early evening on Friday 18 May 2018 for the first time after seeing it's entry in the Good Beer Guide. We managed to park the car in the street just up the road from the George and the Dragon. The pub is an interesting 1735 building slightly set back from the road. On entering the bar is directly in front of you with seating and tables both to the left and right. There is another room past the bar. There is a very good range of real ales on the bar with 5 handpulls on the bar. We had a well kept drink of New Brew Steam Stout , from Newport, at the very good price of £3.00 a pint. The place was busy but there was still space. Both the staff and customers were friendly and welcoming.

This is one of those special pubs. It was busy with locals - real ale and keg but only local stuff. No music, tv, WiFi - just good old fashion chat. Clearly the best pub in Gnosall and one not to be missed. It is super dog friendly- oh and cash only.

Used to be the local shop when I was young. On a return visit I was pleasantly surprised to find it a very welcoming micro pub with excellent beer and friendly locals.

Fantastic place with great real ales, a gem

I just love the fact that we were new visitors walked up from the canal. We were warmly welcomed, nice beer so my husband says, I had a spritzer but the place was full of locals all talking to each other. No one on phones. Great place . Keep up the good work.

Cracking ale house in Gnosall. Won a couple of awards. Great selection of ale and cider. The couple who run it are very friendly, as are the locals. It’s cash only so bring some money. A very kind local bought me a pint as i had no cash on me. They like a pint round these parts.Thank you again! Has pork pies and batches I think? Very highly recommended 🍻

An absolute gem of a traditional pub in the centre of Gnosall.

This a a great micro pub , serving a good selection of ales and ciders , bars food consist of great home made sausage rolls and premium snacks. Friendly staff and locals , no fruit machines music or distractions, just beer and conversation, rare in this day and age. The review below headlined "disappointed " is referring to a pub over the road in the same village named "The Horns" the George doest sell meals such as fish and chips etc

Excellent choice of beers and bar snacks. Friendly landlord.

Belting pint of mild and a lovely little boozer

The beer is wonderful, so is the landlord!

George is always friendly and knows what beer i drink even when i don't know

Great little Micro pub for real ale drinkers

What a fantastic, friendly little gem of a pub🤗 everywhere was so clean & tidy fantastic 😀

A proper pub with no phones or TV so you have to talk to each other. What a pleasure, well worth the walk from the canal bridge 35.

Lovely little local with friendly staff who know how to treat customers properly. Can get busy on a weekend but that just adds to the lovely atmosphere

Best pub in Gnosall. We love it

Cycle friendly, great selection of beer, cobs available, what more could we ask for. Plenty of interesting items adorning the walls and as table stands all with a story to tell.

Always a great pint and very friendly.

Great pub fantastic beer great company

Fantastic atmosphere, very welcoming.

Wonderful friendly micropub! Good beer & cider! Definitely worth the extra walk from the canal! (We were on a boat.)

The George is a small but comfortable typical rural pub set in the the quaint village of Gnosall. The welcome and service is always splendid. Fine, well presented ales await as do several interesting bar snacks. To be honest in my opinion this establishment is best suited to a more mature type of customer. There's a nice friendly atmosphere here and if you're in need of a pint or two, pop in and judge for yourselves. I don't think that you will be disappointed.

One of the friendliest pubs I have been in, good beer also

Great place. So glad it's back open. George and Lynn are great landlords. A true gem

Great beers, lovely owners and a very pleasant, vibrant atmosphere. All that you'd want from a traditional, thriving village pub.

Wow! For a micro pub this really is “the place!” Good range of beers, great atmosphere. Don’t expect high cuisine, but the cheers cobs are to die for. A must visit place.

140 miles away, so visits are rare, but it's a marvellous achievement & my favourite pub.

Friendly place lovely atmosphere

We spotted this little boozer on way home from a house viewing and what a find! Wrexham ales and in particular a lager of 5% which was an awesome drink . Great atmosphere . Great lagers. Great local customers ! This is a little gem and is well worth a visit with a unique style and range of drinks Congratulations to the inspired owner !

Brilliant Pub, quality beers, great landlord

Excellent service and excellent drinks

Home from home , for great beer, kept by an expert landlord,whose wife's bar snacks are the makings of a good night out. Friendly clientele, most welcoming pub in Staffs

What a hidden gem, easily thee best micro pub/pub I've ever been no TV no jukebox just drinking and chatting landlord and landlady were really welcoming I'll definitely be sinking a few more in there 5*****

Great people wonderful place dog friendly.

Busy, friendly and a great Pint.

Excellent ales in pub time forgot. This is a good thing

Great athmosphere and the beer is fresh and a pleasure to drink. Clean pub now with lots of quirky items to look at. Dog friendly and the owners are welcoming . Overall a great drinking pub.

Lovely country pub Great Ales, warm welcome and a nice cosy fire to have a steady few beers by.

Great place to visit, full of character.

A gem of a pub. No music, no machines, baps are only food. Friendly locals, real ales at excellent prices. e.g. Holdens Golden Glow £3.00 a pint.

Great place good company great beers good landlord land lady

One of my favourite little pubs, Lottie's favourite also 😁

Well the George & the Dragon has it All! Excellent hand pulled Beers, Stout’s and upto 4 still and 1 slightly fizzy Ciders and Perry’s! A selection of Belgian beers and European larger, wines and spirits Generally fresh home made snacks available but demand is great for the sausage roll’s, Balti and Breakfast pies always in great demand!

A Great community spirit pervades this well appointed micro pub, with friendly welcoming staff and locals. What you won’t find at the George and the Dragon is Gaming machines,Televisions,Bad language or receive Bad service!

We travelled across to Gnosall early evening Friday 18 May ,2018 for a drink from new Beer Guide pubs in the area. We were able to park in the street and have a short walk to the George and the Dragon. The pub is friendly and welcoming with a small bar in front of you as you walk in. The bar has five real ale handpulls with a variety of local beers and beer types. We ordered halves of New Brew Steam Stout , very reasonably priced at £3.00 a pint. The beer was well kept and interestingly only from Newport in Shropshire about 6 miles away. There are two spaces with tables to the left and right of the front building with a small rear room with more tables and seats. The locals and staff were friendly and helpful. An all round lovely experience and looking forward to further drink sampling at the George and the dragon!

Micro pub with great kept beer and local snacks and produce. Had never been before and fell in love with the place. Lovely village too.

Only went in for a few drinks while visiting but it was friendly, cosy and well stocked with great beers. It's a real 'boozer' and that's nothing to be ashamed of. There are lots of pubs in the village that don't quite know what they are but the George and Dragon is quite clear on it's purpose and achieves it 100%. More pubs could and should learn a lesson from this place. Keep up the good work.

The George is a 'micro pub' (hope that's right?) and is what us older drinkers remember - local craft beers / cider / lager. No food menu or TV or music. But a place to relax and enjoy good company. Well worth a visit

Went in for the first time yesterday late pm and I wish I had gone in here sooner. It has a lovely atmosphere the landlady is really friendly and welcoming. Great selection of drinks including wine and spirits as well as the ales and ciders. The regulars in there were also really friendly and best bit of all is that dogs are more than welcome in there. Will definitely be back!

Well what can I say, this is possibly the most perfect Micro pub in the country, based on simple rules of No televisions, jukeboxes, gaming machines, quasi pub/restaurant fusion, just a brilliant friendly atmosphere mixed with great beers and banter is always on offer from the friendly locals You can enjoy some of Lynn's wonderful home made Sausage Rolls, Small individual Pies and Ham or Cheese and Onion cobs. You may be invited to try piece of one of her famous cheese cakes as she is often seen dashing in and out of the bar from the kitchen replenishing the ever depleting stock of the excellent simple offerings! George the Landlord prides himself on the excellent selection of crystal clear and extremely well kept beers and larger, he also has an excellent offering of whiskeys and Gins! If you are passing through Gnosall whether by Road or via the canal on a narrow boat it's worth the effort to make the first visit, you'll soon realise it won't be an effort to visit the second time!

Great pub. Fantastic relaxing atmosphere. Very Friendly staff & customers. Dog friendly. Love the tables made from old engines & farming gear.

If you like a proper pub, superbly hosted, serving fine beers and ciders, in a warm friendly environment, then the multi award winning George & Dragon is for you..... George and Lynn are fantastic hosts who certainly know how to serve a great pint and have created a real gem on the Gnosall high street. The atmosphere is welcoming and the locals will make you feel at home.....this is an honest pub where conversation is king without the distraction of wifi or music. The home made bar snacks are delicious too....... visit once and you'll be back. It's award winning for good reason.

A lovely micro pub with a great selection of cask ales & trad ciders. The beer is always kept in great condition. The pub has a nice atmosphere with no background gaming machines and TV's to ruin this 'proper traditional feel pub'

Very good experience, nice to chat and be heard and hear. The atmosphere is very lively at week ends but you can still have a conversation.

Good selection of real ales and ciders. Voted best pub for real ale and cider by CAMRA. Land lord and landlady front the pub. Five starts

If Carlsberg did micro pubs, they wouldn't be selling their lousy lager here because the beer (and the cider) in the George and the Dragon is simply fabulous.

No frills micro pub. Perfect t for just having a drink and a chat. Some nice local brews on offer. Hosts are welcoming. Would recommend

What relief to find a pub with no music, machines or TV's (go elsewhere if that's what you're after). Definitely not a restaurant, but a wonderful small cosy pub with no Carling or big-name beers. 4 or 5 regularly changing beers from small producers (including, always, Holden's Golden Glow) and a similar number of Ciders - all at incredible prices these days, which is one of the basic principles of the place. Log-burners to keep you warm in winter, and Lynn's Cheese and Onion rolls on the bar. Occasional home-made sausage rolls and such-like. They have "pie night" on a Sunday evening at 7pm, where regulars make the pie - slices available (for a donation into the Charity bottle on the bar - they have raised an amazing amount for local charities and good causes) if there's any left after the "Pie Club" members have tried it!

Quite simple really,A great friendly pub with wonderful ciders....Too wonderful sometimes!!!!

An excellent, well run, friendly Micropub, various ales, ciders, single malts & bar snacks. Spot on.

It's not strictly a restaurant but they do serve food in terms of pie and rolls and it'/s all very tasty. The place is best described a a pub and boy, it's a good one. Fantastic selection of beers and ciders, no noisy music or TV and perfect if you just want to have a decent beer and a yap. The landlords, George and Lynne, are very experienced, very friendly and run a great pub here.
