George and the Dragon in Stafford

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

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

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.

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 !

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*****

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.
