George & Dragon in Stafford

Travelling back from Stoke on Trent our grandson was hungry, saw the George and Dragon, from the outside looked a nice traditional pub/restaurant. Now bare in mind this I a Wednesday at 6pm. Outside was clean and well presented including nice flower boxes around an outside seating area. Inside a nice surprise of a traditional pub, makes a change. Greeted by the barman, pleasant chap. Bar well stocked and very clean. Ordered food and drinks, price for what we ordered was good value. Presentation of the food was good, quality was on par (in my opinion) equally to other pub food chains. We enjoyed it. Will certainly pop in again if passing. 7pm the pub was getting quite a few customers in for food and other just to enjoy a drink.

Went in early evening . Service awful .customers looking for bar staff to serve them . Landlord / landlady sat down drinking .no banter , no acknowledgment on entering or leaving .

Visited at lunch time. Very quiet quiet and so little atmosphere. Very pleasant lady server. Food was decent, soup tasted home made. Sandwich was just okay because the bread didn't feel fresh. Beer was good. The eating area was clean and tidy and well laid out.

Great pub excellent new owners good food nice menu friendly service and staff

Was it the best ever Sunday lunch...no. Was it the best Sunday lunch for £7, yes! Remarkable value, highly recommended, nice staff and clearly the new management are doing a great job and need supporting. At this price why cook at home!

Popped in today for a Sunday dinner two dinners for £14 amazing value my husband and I both had the beef which was cooked beautifully. We've used this pub for many years now but stopped coming in as it was dirty and empty since new owners have took over the place is clean first thing I noticed when I walked in the clean fresh smell not like it was can definitely recommend a Sunday lunch here for that price it was fab

Brilliantly friendly staff. Very good value. Food delicious.

Fantastic pub we found on a whim. Driving by after a day out and we decided to pull in for a drink, and we're glad we did. The food was brilliant, and very cheap compared to some pubs. Drinks were very reasonable too. Friendly staff, great atmosphere. If we didn't live so far away we'd make it a regular

The friendliest pub I've been in. The land lord and lady were so helpful when my daughter had a medical issue. Thank you.

After I heard this place was back up and running by my dear friends Andy and Ange, I decided to go for a bite to eat try one of their Burgers 🍔 I can tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it’s great value for money too!! I cannot recommend The George enough for their food!! See you guys next week!

Excellent beer, food a service 🍻

It' is a lovely pub landlord and landlady are a lovely couple running it nothing to much trouble every thing is spotless thay must have a fantastic cleaner in there now never seen it so clean food is spot on lovely and friendly bar staff has well

Cosy atmosphere and lovely staff. Will definitely be returning in the future.

Nice pub with beer garden at the front. Was able to sit in the shade. As popped in on the way back to accommodation for drinks

Called for a quick bite today and the Double bacon and cheese burger was beautiful, came really quickly and was hot fresh and great value

Popped in for a quick beer with my partner on the way to Stafford yesterday afternoon, after seeing the sign outside for 2 for £7 on bierra morretti, lad on the bar has the personality of a brick wall, rude, mumbling, face like a slapped ar*e and most of all told me I was wrong and charged me the full £11, got to the beer garden outside saw the sign that clearly states, 4-7 Friday is when the offer applies (my time of visiting). Place was empty for a Friday afternoon and no suprise there, won’t be returning.

the obese lady serving behind the bar has no personality and zero customer service or people skills....no hello no smile no goodbye thanks for your custom etc etc etc ....sadly I wont be giving you any repeat custom....I suggest a personality transplant 👎👎👎👎 no doubt it will be a Costa drive thru soon

We arrive last night for the first meeting of a new Kitcar cub, unfortunately the kitchen was out of operation due to a problem. However the lovely landlady apologised profusely and appeared half an hour later with two big bowls of chips had a huge plate of fresh bread and butter, all this free of charge. We are looking at having monthly meetings here I what a great first meeting as we were really looked after. Some of the Local guys had eaten and they had to watch as tuck into the best chips I've ever tasted – Barr none Enjoyed ourselves sat outside munching and a good chat with fellow kit owners who we have never met before. Thoroughly recommend the friendliness of this pub I'm definitely gonna have more of those chips! Thank you thank you thank you landlady

Top pub great ale friendly staff

Very very grubby and landlady rude and extremely unhelpful. Would never recommend.

What a wonderful pub and land lady ( with her son helping ). A wonderful welcome for a weary biker on his way to London for the Dave day ride back to Barrow in Furness. Kitchen closed, but she offered me a superb ham sandwich and enjoyed a lovely couple of pints. I asked if there was anywhere near to camp , and she offered me a piece of grass in the carpark. Fabulous. Ment I could enjoy a second drink and relax. Thank you so much for a wonderful welcome. Good luck and all the very best. Tim ( Contented biker who knows where to go next time I'm passing through ).

Great pub and atmosphere friendly. The food is coming together now, after the kitchen being sorted and can't wait to see what the next few months bring 😊

The beer was really quite good!

Warm and friendly welcome by new landlady

Lovely pub, fantastic service, Stephanie very helpful.

Lovely pub. Plenty of choice. Staff very friendly. Nice outside sitting area even though we didn't use it. Plenty of car parking space

The meals was lovely when we went staff was lovely and polite nothing to much trouble and the ales was lovely what thay had on

It was very quiet and i believe awaiting new tenants, beer was ok. I think it needs an injection of enthusiastic pub landlordism.

Did not have food, just drinks. Excellent selection and quality. Thank you.

Strangely, we were welcomed by a sign saying "due to unforseen circumstances we are unable to serve food until further notice" I ordered coffee, but that was off limits too. It really was no wonder we were literally the only people in & the place was in the sole charge of one teenager.

The kitchen is closed until further notice 😳

Great Xmas lunch, would highly recommend.

Cosy pub nice atmosphere good food

Had a great meal. The portion was large and so tasty. The staff were so accommodating. Highly recommend.

Went to the George & Dragon at lunchtime For a quick bite to eat, I ordered the chicken burger, which was absolutely spot-on, great place to pop in and have a quick bite to eat a decent menu all at a reasonable price👍

Nice pub, good food, nice atmosphere and reasonable prices

Ate here for our works Christmas meal, excellent service and very nice food! Great value for money and table service

I ordered the Hunters Chicken from the lunch menu and was told it was the large portion but when it arrived the small and large portion were identical. There was no sauce to speak of the chicken was dry, but the chips were hot

While staying nearby I stopped here for the evening for dinner. Food was great, as was the staff too. If I'm up this way again i'd gladly stop here! Would highly recommend it to others as well.

Called in for the first time ever for a light bite. One item was missing from our order and it was quickly brought to us at no extra charge and the portion was HUGE and very tasty. This was the staffs way of apologising for the oversight. All in all the food was really nice and the staff very helpful and friendly.

Great food at reasonable prices win win

Popped in here on a bit of a whim last night while we were driving around looking for somewhere to get food and we were so glad we did!! Lovely pub, the meal was delicious (curry and a drink, which came with a lovely soft naan bread and a freshly cooked popadom, not one out of a packet from the supermarket!) for less that £12 each, really tasty. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and seemed to have a lovely rapport with the regulars and made us feel very welcome. The pub was lovely and clean and the food and beer great. What more can you want!! We will definitely be returning soon (hopefully on pie and steak nights!!) Anna

Very enjoyable experience both food and drinks enjoyable

We were shocked. Having lived in the area all my life never been in the pub but wanted to. Today sadly we did. The Pepsi glass was filthy, I had another which was no different. The gin and lemonade wasn't drinkable as again dirty glass. I had a bottle of low alcohol beer asked for a glass,sat down and then realised you couldn't see through it, disgusting Near £12 for the privilege. I wouldn't think the place had been hoovered for a few days. Grubby is an understatement. Chairs split/ worn. Don't be fooled by the kerb appeal. We won't be back. Dick Turpin had a mask ! Avoid.

Nice food lovely attentive staff

Nice pub good food pity no one in .nice staff clean nice place shame all pubs to expensive now be none left soon

I went in mid-afternoon for a birthday meal, the place was clean and had a nice atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and attentive throughout entry, during the meal and on exit. The toilets are nice and clean. We had drinks on entry and were free to choose a table, staff greeted us and were always friendly and chatty and able to answer questions. We had one grill meal and one vegetarian meal and both were excellent and served nice and hot and well presented. Staff checked in through the meal and we ended up having puddings to which were also very nice. All in all wonderful visit and would definitely go again!

Beautiful pub the staff and managers are amazing and friendly go the extra mile + to help you the beer is well kept and hot drinks available would 100% recommend I will be back soon

Great food. Homely atmosphere. Lovely ladies running the pub. Would return and recommend. Close to trentham gardens and monkey forest.

Food was definitely microwaved and salad was not fresh. Ordered macaroni cheese and undeniably from a packet and clearly never seen an oven by the dish it was served in and the temperature. Shame nice people chef Mic let them down.

Popped in as we were passing, lovely warm welcome from the people behind the bar, the pub is lovely and has a really nice atmosphere. Had some lunch there and the food was lovely, service brilliant staff really friendly and chatting. If we ever pass that way again would call in again.

Nice quiet bar 🍸 🍺🍹🍷🍻 Friendly staff 🧑‍💼👩‍🔬👨‍🎤👩‍🍳 Large car park 🚗 🚘 🚔 🏎 🚓 🚕 🚗

Good food and staff were very welcoming and attentive 👍👍Lovely family pub. would recommend and will go again.

Lovely food. We had the burger and a pudding. Really enjoyed it. The staff were really friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Will definitely go again. 👍🏼

The food was quite good.The youth who took our order, not so good. The meal deal was actually wrongly calculated, that added approximately 6 quid, but given how long and difficult it was to order, was just not worth making a faff about...

Lovely food and great service. Attended as a group of 8 this evening and the food all arrived together, all delicious and we have departed with full belly and big smiles. Great value for money and staff very welcoming and professional. Free parking and spaces available. Outside area available. Will most definitely return.

6 of us went at 5pm on a Sunday at the end of a hot weekend, great food and drink, welcome was very friendly. Would be happy to go again 🙂

My husband and I called at the George and Dragon at Stone on Thursday for the 'Steak and Drink' deal. The steak was cooked to perfection, just how we asked for it to be, the rest of the food was lovely and arrived quickly, nice and hot!! The staff were very friendly and attentive!! Lovely atmosphere too !1 Would highly recommend and will be revisiting very soon !!

Me and my family went on bank holiday the pub was every busy but the service was outstanding and the meals where really nice and a lot of choices for the whole family

We went for a meal last night and the food and service were fantastic. Staff were attentive to our needs and had the patience of saints. The only thing that could be said is the table next to us ruined what was a fantastic night with petty complaints and ring rude to the young staff members who were running up themselves dealing with barrage of complaints and abuse. Would totally recommend.

Poor customer service. Most things on the menu they didn't have. Starters come out with your mains. Meals came 40 mins later and missing half of the condiments. Asked for well done steak got a rare one. Over all bad experience. Very over priced for what you get (3 chips with your steak). Won't be visiting again.

Very reasonably priced food. Recommend the deals of the day. Brilliant steak & drink for £12.95 good size steak well prepared can't fault it for value for money. Worth the trip on way home. A no brainer!!

Excellent service the food was awesome we had a curry and defo go back again. Would I recommend anyone to go there and try the curry's plus the value for money

Went here as a drop off for a hen party. Great little pub, excellent service and stunning location.

Service was amazing Lovely staff Food was served on time and was delicious I had really wonderful time and would recommend to anyone to come visit

. The bar staff were friendly and greeted us with open arms. Felt like I was seeing family. Seated to a table and given menus. Wide range of meals. Ordered a steak and it was cooked perfectly. Drinks were taken to our table by a...

The food was outstanding and the drinks were cool and refreshing. The staff were friendly and the managers were at the front of the team. Great experience and honest feedback. Will return without a second thought.

We only popped in for a drink! It was ok.

Really nice pub and very welcome. The lady that runs it was fantastic, all staff are very friendly and we really enjoyed the food. Will definitely go back.

Visited for a private party upstairs. Lovely friendly pub with outdoor seating and cold beer 👌

Superb eggs done just the way I like them ,great pint too.

Very poor sorry. The food was not nice. The lasagne was like a poor quality ready meal. Poorly presented. The starters were not too bad. Wouldn't mind if it was cheap but it isn't. It's just not very good. We were very disappointed £46 for a very poor lunch for 2. Wished we had gone elsewhere.

Had a fantastic meal in this pub, 8 of us so was quite a large party. 100% recommendation

Nice little pub, nice beer and lovely food.

Booked online, confirmation received, a booking for 4 adults , 1 baby. Arrived before due time, left waiting at the bar as bartender was serving, I said we had a reservation for 6.30pm, he looked puzzled. He went over to a different area to speak...

Not very friendly, which is a shame as it's in a great location. Doubt we'd come again, surely a pubs welcome is part of its service.

Fantastic service & the food was excellent, as a woman dining on my own with 2 children the staff were helpful & the food was really good. A great experience all round

Dining on my own with 2 children this experience was made easier by the staff being helpful & attentive, the food was so nice, I recommend the pulled pork baguette, definitely will be going back again

Lovely pub nice staff great food coming back again Been back and loved it see you soon

The most friendly helpful wee pub. Called to the George and Dragon late in the evening in our Motorhome. Staff gladly let us parked. We had a few drinks in the warm cosy bar. On seeing a food special my other half insisted we stay...

Just popped in for a quick pint, but seems a nice place. The beer was good.

Haven’t been for a long time, and definitely will be back. Advised on new menu and a great selection to choose from. Food and service brilliant, staff went above and beyond to deal with my friend’s allergies. Definitely recommend a visit sooner rather than later....

New menu has plenty of choice and food was delicious thank you! Staff super friendly and helpful 👌 Good choice of drinks and nice clean bar area. Thanks again x

Great food and a lovley atmosphere. Dog friendly as well which is always a bonus. The ultimate chicken burger was absolutley beautiful 😍 my partner had the fish and chips and the fish was huge and looked amazing. Will definatley be returning regularly

Great pub with friendly staff and good food. Warm welcoming environment and the prices are fair. Will be returning.

Excellent food and very friendly staff couldn’t be more attentive and helpful will definitely be returning

Excellent food at a reasonable price. Good beer too.

Turned up late one Friday looking for somewhere to eat. Phoned on the way and were told they stop serving at 8pm. We arrived at about 7.45pm and promptly ordered but were told what we chose was it off stock. Made an alternative choice and paid for our food. The food was OK, but nothing exiting. The service was pleasant but basic, the place has no atmosphere and is more for your local residents to have a drink rather than drawing in people from surrounding areas. I'm reluctant to give a bad review as it was our choice to come here so late in the evening and the food was OK. But it just didn't make me feel like I wanted to come back again. Didn't take any photos

Lovely atmosphere, dog friendly, welcoming and inviting.

Visited the g&D with my family for lunch. Great, quick service, food was tasty and reasonably priced. Would recommend

Gorgeous food and amazing friendly service, love the new menu and such a lovely atmosphere

Lovely service … great choice .. all needs met .. slimming world friendly.. although decided to go for chips 🤭. Will try the skinny steak next time 👍🏻

Called in the pub as we were passing. Nice pub with friendly staff. Food was good, usual pub grub, nothing too fancy, which is what we like. Had a good selection on the menu and right price. Would definitely come again

Food was great, more than expected from a standard pub meal. Staff were helpful, chatty and attentive. Will visit again, thanks!

Visited on 23 Dec early evening. Group of 6 adults an 2 children. Staff were friendly and accommodating, food was plentiful and really tasty. Kids menu was one of the best in the area. I'd definitely recommend visiting!

Thank you so much for providing an excellent buffet for the christening. We jad had great time. The staff were amazing and we're very accommodating. Thank you so much xxx

We had Xmas lunch here we had a lovely meal the food was hot and plenty on the plate the only thing wrong was the poor attempt of a Yorkshire Pud. Service was a little slow at times but we were in no rush and...

Came here for a family Christmas get together. Food was lovely, delivered quickly and clean plates all round, really lovely. The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough to help. Very cozy and Christmassy atmosphere, will definitely be visiting again.

Food was very good service was excellent all the staff very friendly and helpful.There were fifteen of us for Christmas menu.will be back .

Works Christmas party. Fantastic food and service. Friendly owners and brilliant staff. Can’t wait to come again next year. Thank you George and Dragon 🎅🏻
