Nice staff all facilities available

They really looked after us after my fathers funeral. Great pub.

Don't bother staying here if you're working in the area. Every website that the George advertises on states bed & breakfast. The breakfast is only available from 9am, so that rules out most people who have to get to work. The pub is extremely noisy and can be heard right through the floorboards. There is no wifi code offered in the rooms, so you have to go down to the bar to get this. Also found putting in my car registration on the bar tablets to be very off putting as all the local punters are perched by the bar therefore one must virtually move them out of the way. The curtains aren't blackout so the light streams through them in the morning and there is no mention of key deposits when you leave. I presume they think everyone can't surely use their 'hotel' for work purposes. All in all a quite dismal display. At £95 a night, just offering a bed is quite atrocious!

We had a great stay here for 4 days. It was our introduction to living in the UK and a great one. Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely room, dog friendly, overall a great time.

Nice pub in a lovely location. Good Food and drinks. Friendly staff.

Super pleasant staff, very welcoming & attentive. Food was top notch. An excellent time was had by all :)

Had meal on Mother's Day- food a d service were excellent

Staff are welcoming and friendly, room was great ( but we couldn't figure out how to open the windows), bed was comfortable, room was warm, shower was great, breakfast was delicious. Totally worth it! Would definitely come back! Thanks to everyone! 👍🏽

Stupid car park arrangements having to log in, nice staff beer a bit varied and not all good. Food edible but not to be recommended.

Me an my boyfriend love the place great atmosphere

Lovely place, nice & clean with super helpful staff. Ray was a diamond 💎!

Lovely pub, great friendly staff with a good atmosphere

Lovely place. Friendly crowd. The staff were wonderful. I haven't tried the food yet but I've heard good things about it. Can't wait to eat there.

Lovely Sunday lunch with the family. Great food and good portion size. Had the full 3 courses...now fit to burst! Very friendly and attentive staff. I would definitely recommend trying this out.

Pleasant village pub, nice atmosphere and friendly service.

Popular pub with accommodation. Rooms large and clean, ensuite

Loved our stay here, the host was very warm and welcoming and the food they served was delicious!

Where do I start..... avoid at all cost ! If I could score 0 , I would have done . Checked that they could accommodate a family group of 12 to celebrate mums 70th birthday and was reassured it wouldn’t be a problem. How wrong they were.... service appalling! Richard cooks/served has ZERO customer service ! He constantly wiped his brow with tea towel he then serviced dinner plates with... he wore socks throughout .... he moaned he was too busy to bring all our cutlery out or the garnish for meals.... and I use the word ‘meals’ very loosely ! The mixed grill was undercooked, bland, tasteless (except for copious amounts for pepper) ... the hunters chicken was a chicken breast ... tough as old boots... covered with cold BBQ sauce and cold grated cheese ... Richard accidentally ‘stabbed’ the forearm of my young nephew when placing steak knife on table ... when challenged he said he was busy trying to get everything served ! No apology or concern for nephews well-being ! We approached Richard and Steve to complain about the poor food... who looked at the 11 plates still 3/4 full of the food !... and Richard then said and I quote ‘f**k this I’ve had enough ... took glasses off... got a whisky from the bar.. and sat outside ... Steve swore on numerous occasions and said he ‘needed to get in the kitchen as he’s left a steak on the grill which was ordered as medium and if he didn’t hurry up he’s get another f**king complaint !’ Our group also included 2 children, my 70 year old mum, who all witnessed their foul language, disgusting defensive behaviour and complete lack of customer service ! A polite young bar person and server apologised profusely for our experience . I initially requested a refund for the 2 mixed grills (inedible) but for the behaviour and extremely upsetting experience that followed I requested a full refund.... which we eventually received!

We stayed here, for the weekend. Food was spot on, hospitality was exceptional. Highly recommend will definitely go back. Xx

Good staff, lovely place. If im in the area, im coming back

Staff were quick and efficient There was a live band on which were cool an d played very well Food served promptly Drink served well But they did call last orders quite early for a Friday night! Which I guess gave reason for a house party elsewhere... Otherwise another star

Shows promise, food pleasant but staff need serious training. Lager and lime, lager with a piece of lime floating. Cappuccino served in latte glass. Lemon tart srved hot !!!!!.will try again in a few weeks, I'm sure there just not used to being open.

Very happy with the rooms. Very clean and tidy. The food was really tasty. The owner is a very helpful and nice person.Definitely recommend it.

Owners boyfriend is an absolute physco! Physco being an understatement..

Really nice country pub. Staff friendly and welcoming

Great place for a stopover, good breakfast and friendly staff. Room was clean and warm with a very comfortable bed. Would definitely use them again, thankyou for a very pleasant stay

Brilliant place to stay. Followed every rule. I've never felt so looked after during a night away. Really clean room and lovely decor. No mess no fuss

Really helpful from initial short notice booking , friendly staff. Highly recommended

Great place with great staff. Very welcoming and helpful.

Great place, friendly staff, covid conscious and good food. We got the cowboy burgers and the sausage and mash in giant Yorkshire pudding- all was delicious and served promptly

Great food and service with welcoming staff and owners, would always recommend bringing friends here!

Great hotel and bar. Top staff very nice bedrooms would stay here again and again

Good pub good food not too expensive.

¡El miércoles por la noche es noche de carne! Dos filetes y una botella de vino de la casa por 20, ¡una ganga! El bistec estaba tierno, solo para tu gusto y delicioso. Servido con champiñones, cebollas, aros de cebolla, guisantes y patatas fritas. Todo bien preparado, servido rápidamente, personal amable. El vino Shiraz fue una buena selección con el bistec, con cuerpo y lleno de sabor.El pub está muy limpio, bien cuidado, el personal es amable y muy trabajador.Recomiendo una noche aquí, ¡el viernes hay música en vivo para comenzar el fin de semana!

George y Dragon volvieron a cambiar de manos. Disfrutamos de una sabrosa comida allí el viernes por la noche. Las opciones de arranque un poco en el lado de relleno, pero los champiñones empanizados eran agradables. Caña de cordero sobre puré de papas deliciosa con mucha salsa. El pescado y las patatas fritas eran porciones generosas. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Buena música en vivo.

Highly recommended . Food was excellent very clean and I would recommend it to everyone

Friendly atmosphere,. But ready for a face lift.

Very basic rooms not comfortable.

Hi there, I’m the landlady at this pub and felt the need to respond to the below review. I was indeed the helpful girl behind the bar, and the ‘donkey’ you referred to as running the place is actually our part time apprentice who suffers with severe learning difficulties. Lee is one of the most helpful, sincere and hardworking members of staff we have and his confidence, skill set and knowledge has developed in leaps and bounds during his several months of employment. We do not tolerate bullying or inconsiderate or misinformed comments or judgements towards any of our members of staff. So for anyone wishing to visit please be aware the place is not run by donkeys, but instead by someone who is willing to give those who need it a chance to work to the best of their ability when others certainly don’t. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and should you visit The George please take the time to say hello to Lee who absolutely loves getting to know our customers, and he will help you in any way he can.

Krásný malý hotel , velice příjemný personál. Pokoje malé útulné a velice čisté 👍🏻👍🏻. Doporučuji 👍🏻.

Braw pint in the garden area. Lovely locals to chat with too.

Went there for a meal but they had finished serving meals as they had a quiz on. When my wife asked the lady behind the bar about food she was very helpful but the old guy that dressed in his chef uniform was awful. Looked like the landlord. The way he talked to his staff a costumers. Customer service of a donkey. Looks like a amazing pub shame about the monkey that runs the place

Delicious food and friendly host. Entertainment is often provided and always fun. Dog friendly with doggy treats always available for our four legged family. Five star establishment

Asistieron al festival de música, el pub ha cambiado de manos recientemente y las chicas están haciendo un gran trabajo. Hay noches de concursos de bandas, así como otros eventos, comida buena y personal razonable, amable y acogedor. Un excelente pub para un pueblo no 5. Chester

Nice pub but went to eat and food was bland an boring. Looked no better than a Wetherspoons. A few chips with a bland chicken breast with a bit of melted cheese and a little bit of bacon with a miserly bit of bbq sauce. Poor

Apareció un domingo por la noche y entró directamente. El primer plato era bastante agradable y las hamburguesas eran increíbles. El servicio era bueno y el camarero muy educado. Aunque había algunos elementos del menú que no estaban disponibles porque las cosas se habían agotado, ni siquiera podíamos tener un desierto. Pero definitivamente volveremos y recomendaremos este restaurante a nuestros amigos.

Recently are hear and had a Sunday roast - absolutely beautiful Pub clean New management have already turned this place around lunch

¡Han pasado más de seis meses desde la última vez que visitamos a George y al Dragón, a pesar de que vivimos a menos de un minuto!Escuchamos que el pub estaba bajo una nueva administración y decidimos darle otra oportunidad. ¡Estoy muy contento de haberlo hecho! !Esta noche, entramos en un pub vibrante, limpio y acogedor! Nos recibieron con una sonrisa y un servicio rápido. Debido a nuestras mayores expectativas, decidimos comer.Pedimos la hamburguesa G&D y el gammon de 10 oz. ¡Ambos estaban absolutamente deliciosos! !Estoy muy contento de que ahora tengamos un excelente pub en el pueblo y ambos nos marchemos con la misma sensación. . . . esto es peligrosamente demasiado cerca y demasiado bueno. . . nos vemos de nuevo muy pronto; -)¡Gracias a todo el equipo que sirvió y cocinó para nosotros esta noche!Sarah x

We went to tarvin to visit friends for the weekend. We went in to the George and Dragon as heard it had changed hands. The girls in there are doing a great job and I can't wait to see what the place will be like in a couple of month's. The food was great and the service was the same. Hopefully we will have to book a table the next we are down. Thank you for a great weekend.

Encantador pub de pueblo con nueva dirección que lo están haciendo orgulloso.Buena comida fresca cocinada con un ambiente cálido y agradable, un lugar agradable para visitar.

Went for drinks with friends only to have the bar staff swear at a friend and when the manager came down told to f*** off to be sworn at in a public house by staff and a landlord is absolutely disgusting. You can’t serve some people after hours and not others. Just a polite we are not serving anymore would have been acceptable but to be sworn at was disgusting. Will not return . Such a shame for a village pub

We stayed at the George and Dragon for a weekend because it is quite close to Pryor Hayes where we were attending a wedding.

Visited on Sunday with the family and had high expectations. The decor was qwerky but very charming and the staff were very welcoming and attentive. However we did have to wait a long time for our main courses which were just okay. The beef was overcooked, the Yorkshire puddings were a little too big for the balance of the meal and the potatoes weren't fluffed up and crispy and the whole dish was slightly underseasoned. We would return but wouldn't rush back.

4 of us went for a meal last night, 2 of the meals were adequate but 2 were dreadful, I han cod in batter and the middle part of the fish was hard and dry. My frien d had steak which was also very dry and tasteless.

Nice local pub we visited twice on our trip to Cheshire. Good selection of food, friendly staff. Clean, well laid out

Nine of us ate here on bank holiday Monday evening.

Very good service from male bar staff ,we all enjoyed our meals ,not small portions and not expensive , would eat here again if visiting .

Excellent roast beef (topside) with generous helping of vegetables followed by upmarket sweet - price for 2 roasts a mere £14.90 - you couldn't find better value for money! The Banks Smooth Bitter a very good pint @ only £2.90 + good selection of other draught beers/lagers. An extremely comfortable restaurant and bar area following last refurbishment. ANYBODY IN TARVIN OR VISITING THE AREA CALL IN FOR A MEAL!

This is a very friendly place, the food is good and reasonably priced. Ideal if you are staying in Tarvin as it is only a small village so this is within easy walking distance.

Mi marido y yo hemos llamado a George & Dragon para un par de copas sólo para ser despreciados por el personal en favor de la gente normal. Obviamente mi dinero no es suficiente para ellos. Me apresuro a añadir que son locales, en que vivimos en el pueblo.

My husband and I went in friday night the meal we had was pleasant and the atmosphere lovely.would go back again.

Nos alojamos en el Red Lion al otro lado de la calle. Como estábamos cansados después de un largo viaje no queríamos ir muy lejos así que comimos en este restaurante.

Me and my partner decided that we wanted a night to ourselves but couldn't go to far from home. Someone recommend the George and dragon as they stay last summer. They said the rooms where lovely and staff was friendly. So on there advice we stayed on the 15th October. We was greeted by Henri who couldn't of been more helpful. Showed us to our rooms (which was clean and well presented) then took us through fire protocol. We settled in then ventured down for a drink in the pub. The locals and staff all very friendly and made you feel at ease. We asked where we could get food from to which they replied that they served food aswell as mentioning other local businesses. But as we was staying the night we thought we may aswell try the food. I had the Texas burger (brilliant value for money) which was a lot bigger than I had anticipated so couldn't finish it all. But very tasty. The partner had hunters chicken to which she enjoyed. Then at 8pm tables where being shifted and a band started setting up which kept us in the pub for the remainder of the night before retiring to bed. All in all a very good night which we both enjoyed. Would recommend it to anyone.

Attended the George and Dragon on a Saturday evening. I can't comment on the food as we only had drinks which were fine and reasonably priced. The one thing which stood out to me was the rude, condescending attitude of who I presume was the manager and the way he spoke to his staff! The young girls behind the bar were friendly and polite, the manager came onto the bar and belittled them in front of the guests and spoke in a sarcastic tone which obviously made the girls uncomfortable. He needs to learn some respect for his staff before they find another job where they are more appreciated!

came here for a meal on wednesday night and it was very good Steve and the steak which was good and i had the chicken tikka misala which was excelent

Me and my husband stopped off for a drink and lunch on a Sunday in June. The place was dead, which seemed strange for a sunny Sunday. Even though we were the only couple in the place, the chef (or waitress) got part of our order wrong so we had to wait extra time for our food. Food was average, and the ashtrays in the garden had not been emptied from the night before + there were cigarette butts all over the floor, which was off-putting. However, the waitress was very pleasant and decor inside was nice. Disappointing overall. We haven't been back since. Really hope it improves.

We live nearby to Tarvin and have called into the George & Dragon now and again with no reason to complain. However, yesterday we called in for a drink. The first thing we were greeted by were around 6/7 young lads sitting on the tables out the front eating chips from the chippy. My husband went to the bar while I went to the toilet. It was disgusting & dirty. It hadn't seen a cleaner in a long while. Days maybe. I left the toilet thinking we won't stay but my husband had already bought a drink. We decided to take our drinks out into the back garden as it was a lovely evening. Wow, at least five ashtrays on the tables full to brimming with cigarettes, days and days worth of cigarettes. We didn't even want to touch them to move them away. It is evident that no staff had been in the garden to clear away for days. We were then greeted with more youth of Tarvin eating more chips from the chippy in the back garden. The whole place smacked of being dirty, uncared for and blatantly an absence of any management whatsoever & if there is a manager then they aren't doing their job! If this is what is looks like out the front it beggars belief what the kitchen and other behind the scenes areas are like. Imagine paying to stay there as a hotel guest! No! No! No! I wouldn't let my dog walk round that beer garden, we won't be returning. Such a shame - for what has been in the past a nice place to go. If I could have given a zero rating I would! Wished I had taken photos as I can't put into words how awful it was and how full the ashtrays were.

We were a party of three 2pm Sunday afternoon and the place was dead. Order two roast dinner and a fish and chips. The service at the bar is poor and staff seem distracted talking to friends.Food was only average. Two slices of prepared beef. Prepared roast potatoes not cooked from fresh. Yorkshire puddings were served deflated and very fatty and late. Shame as once this place had a good reputation. No longer we were the only diners and now I know why. Lots of other nice places to eat locally. Give this one a swerve. Great shame. Bar staff need to retrain. Focus. The place could of done with a clean as in the floor vacuuming.

Really nice village pub combing modern and traditional in its decore with lovely staff both polite and attentive felt welcome from arrival to our leaving. The breakfast included with the room is more than is to be ever expected at this price bracket nice thick cuts of bacon and well presented. The pubs evening offering followed suit with food cooked very well . The rooms face the road but due to the quiet village setting the loudest noise is church bells , would recommend to anyone.

We popped in for food and had to wait 1 hour, which was understandable as it was Saturday afternoon and the pub was rammed. The food was well worth the wait, and a bargain at 2 meals for £8.49! Every time we visit our son in Chester we'll definitely be coming back!

Excellent value for food and bedrooms. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely atmosphere. Very welcoming. Would recommend.

We had a lovely meal out with the kids here. It's not somewhere you would go for a special occasion but the light bite menu is tasty and very good value for menu.

We visited for a break from a long hike and the cold beer was very welcome! There was a good selection of craft beer on tap as well as the usual Guinness etc. I had fish, chips and mushy peas which was excellent. The batter was crisp and the fish well cooked with no evidence of grease. My companion ordered a chicken dish which was also nicely cooked. Although we ate inside the outside area looked clean and tidy. I would definitely visit again.

Visited for lunch two weeks ago having had a friend from America call,very disappointed with the quality of the food described as "giant garlic prawns" receivedfive tasteless catering prawn of a piece of soggy bread with very little taste at all.Discussed the quality with the staff was told she would discuss it with the chef and put it right.Two weeks later,my neighbour visited ordered the same item and received theprawn dish exactly the same as we had.That is another person who will also vote with his feet.In our 50 years in catering we always listened to the customer.The George obviously feel the the customers view does not matter. I can tell you it does !

Good food served by friendly staff. Managed to get our order spot on despite all the permutations. All food was spot on. Small menu with nothing super special. Good standard of pub food.

Ordered steak medium rare which looked like it had been slow cooked as was a pale colour on the outside and totally raw in the middle. First bite I could tell it was rancid and literally inedible. I tried a second piece from the centre of the steak which was the same. I have never had to send a steak back, but on doing so the manager came out and argued the toss with me saying he had tried it and it wasn't off, I hope he didn't swallow any of it as I wouldn't have fed that piece of meat to my dog. He reluctantly offer me an alternative which I declined as I was disgusted with his attitude. I then had to ask that it was removed from the final bill. I wouldn't eat there again and would highly recommend that no one else does.

Not a lot no staff very slow girl on bar spend to much time talking to her .mate management nowhere

Good steak and pizza. Extensive menu. Mainly locals drinking on Saturday night. Nice decor and lots of space

It's been a while since this venue has been anything other than inconsistent. Recently undergoing a make over & under new management, it is showing positive signs of a return to it's busy times. Food was good, good selection of beers (kept well).Worth a visit now.

The chef hadn't turned up so it was expected really.duck not cooked.The staff were so good but food awful but we could laugh about it

I have never sent food back let alone walked out after being presented with the starter. As locals we don't tend to eat in the George but we thought we would give it ago after it recently changed with new management and a new look! The starter arrived and I ordered king prawns, my parents mushrooms stuffed with Stilton and my brother and his wife had the pate. My king prawns consisted of two king prawns cut into pieces on brown toast! The mushrooms were three tiny mushrooms with Stilton plonked on top and the pate looked and tasted like costcos budget block! An absolute disgrace and as a chef, he/she should hold their head In shame serving this! We sent it back and told them not to bother serving us our main course and left! Do not waste your time and money!

Before a ramble through the countryside, my husband and I stopped here for lunch. Good tuna sandwiches and vegetable soup set us on our way. Along with a pint or two of the guest bitter and Banks bitter. Friendly and helpful staff made for a pleasant visit. A good place in a small town.

A group of us went to the George and dragon on Sunday evening 13th July and after 7pm which is when they stop doing food we felt like some sandwiches, so we asked the owner if there was any chance of this. Within 20minutes they arrived, gorgeous sandwiches with plenty of filling, thick carved ham, smoked salmon with cream cheese, salad garnish and a plate full of cheese,crackers and crusty bread.

A long bicycling adventure in Wales left me out of daylight and still some distance from home which resulted in my search for somewhere to stay for the night. Deciding a realistic chance was to be had in Tarvin I changed direction and was able to secure a room at the second attempt.Amazed at how far I had gone that day a supper of a double (or was that quadruple) helping of cheese sandwiches was provided while being only charged the standard amount and I was permitted to have the use of a USB charger for the night so my phone wouldn't run out of power before I had done logging my progress.A breakfast tray was provided so I could leave early so I can't really comment more on the food but thank you to the staff at the George & Dragon without whom I would have spend the night in considerably less comfort.

I don't usually do this but I'm really angry and not happy.I booked this b&b to stay tonight about 4 days ago and was really happy because it looked lovely and so did the food.As I was packed and ready to come straight from work today,I woke to a answer machine saying it has been double booked and I couldn't stay.I also had a email saying the same.Really blunt and no alternative b&b given.Thought it was really bad customer service and would never try booking again!.Just thought I would air my thoughts if anyone was looking to book,to save disappointment it it happened again.

Le service dans cette chaine de pub est toujours attentionné et amical. La cuisine, très bitish est certes un peu calorifiques mais toujours excellente, c'est une vraie démonstration de ce que l'ont peut trouver de plus traditionnel en UK. Essayez les saucisses, pomme purée ou le pie de poisson, c'est juste génial pour qui aime la cuisine du terroir. Les bières au Cask sont superbe, le cadre très british. Nous y passons toujours de bon moment, peu importe la ville ou le pub.

delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great, friendly service, welcoming staff and excellent value for money. Would visit again

We have eaten here on many occasions in the past and thoroughly enjoyed it and thought it was time to revisit. It hasn’t changed much since we last went, which is some 5 years ago. It is a “warm” pub (and I don’t mean heat!) I mean it is “homely” but it isn’t old fashioned (I know what I mean!). What I don’t get is the large TV in the bar – to be honest it cheapens the place and in my view it needs to decide if it wants people in to watch football or people in to drink – they don’t mix unless it’s a two for one type of place! The menu is quite large and varied, which is good for a fussy eater like myself - there really is something for everyone. If you have a big appetite, you will love it – the potions are enormous and if you are a bit tight in the wallet department, you can share starters and puds they are so big  I had the nachos to start with and even with some help I couldn’t eat them all. They were home made, but they could have done with a bit more cheese to be honest. G had the tempura prawns and they were delicious and there were lots of them (I did try one) – we would have shared had we have known how many there were! The starters were so large that we really did struggle with the main courses. All the food was very well presented, some of it on food slates – and yes, all the jokes about affording plates were made! The service was very good, the young lady serving us was very friendly and professional (almost silver service!) and attentive without being over powering. I like wine, in fact I like wine a lot, and the wine list was, I think it is fair to say, on the limited side! I had planned to have just a glass of wine, as there was driving involved, but ended up ordering a bottle (from a very limited selection) and taking what was left home. The wine available by the glass was very poor. In fact, they only had one wine by the glass, which was the house wine, (red, white, and rosé, I hasten to add), I really didn’t fancy it, and judging by the expression on the face of a fellow diner when he took a sip of his house rosé it wasn’t the best! It’s not quite gastro pub, but it’s pretty darned good. You really do need to be hungry to do the portions served justice. In fact, Chef might want to think about making them a bit smaller – he’s never going to get to sell any puds with portions that size! It is quite a drive for us, but in my view it was worth it and we won’t leave it so long to visit again. Criticisms, I have to say it needs to decide if it’s one of those horrid sports pubs (the TV/Sky sports - why oh why!) and the wine selection really does need a review.

We went to the George and dragon as we were staying at friends nearby, the staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for us , the service was quick , the good was amazing! Loved it and we have plenty of practise of eating out! It was lovely, we shared the pâté n chees starter, the message had real n ale pie n I had Cajun chicken sizzler, lots of food, very tasty and value for money. 42 quid including drinks was well worth it, on par with the likes of Stanford bridge n white lion . Definatly going again. Why go gunnerys wen the George is better!!! Thanks guys

After eating in the Gunnery, had booked in for bed only. Very comfortable, lovely warm room and would recommend to anyone.
