Absolutely fantastic pub great food. Cooked to order and wonderful staff. Great find for a lovely lunch

Lovely village pub with outdoor seating and dining. Traditional bar. Good food. Great decaf coffee at the George and Dragon, Speldhurst. Friday mornings, you get free pastries with your coffee or tea!

Beautiful pub in lovely village. Really good food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Very dog friendly.

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere, however service was a shambles. Different people serving our table and none of them communicating. Every initial request we made was forgotten about, from sauces to a high chair, and we had to ask different staff more than once. The food was worth the wait, but clearly understaffed on a very busy Sunday - a real shame as it would definitely put me off returning.

Food was good, service was a bit slow. Took around 10 minutes just to order our drinks

Food is ok but small portions and comes on the cold side. Staff are brilliant though

Always stop in for a few pints when in Speldhurst visiting family. Had a very lovely lunch the other weekend. We sat outside surrounded by hydrangeas watching the world go by.

Me and my partner came today for a lunch and it was such a lovely meal and the staff were amazing would defiantly recommend!

Stunning little pub that serves great food in a wonderful atmosphere.

Sunday lunch for 4 booked for 1.30. We arrived and ordered by 1.40 but had to wait an hour for the food to be served! We weren’t the only ones… Only 3 came at the same time. Undercooked roast potatoes. 1 carrot and 1 slice of greens each! Unacceptable for a £24 lunch. We duly complained, asked for extra veg and we did get 2 large servings of carrots and greens to share plus extra gravy. Just such a shame these weren’t provided as part of the meal: veg is not that expensive and should be plentiful. The food itself was tasty. Staff so young and uninterested in the service standards and clueless about the menu. The male duty manager was very apologetic and nice. We refused to pay service and finally got 20% knocked off the bill but such a shame as we wouldn’t visit again.

I visited this pub last week and loved the vibe of the place, service was very good!!! I had a burger that was very tasty! They quality of the meat seemed very good, but it kind of lack a bit of salt. Nevertheless, very good!!! My friend had a fish dish that was very very tasty!!! I will come back for sure!!!

Amazing Sunday roast. Lovely beer garden to sit on a sunny day. The food however took ages to arrive. They were apologetic. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely pub good selection of beers and very friendly and helpful staff

We only stopped for a drink. This pub was closed for some time, but reopened and has been sensitively redecorated, retaining the original features and feel of the old building. Service was very pleasant and while we chose to sit n the garden area the atmosphere was pleasantly lively.

One of our favourite venues in the Tunbridge Wells area, excellent quality food and a decent price point. Will definitely be going back in the v. near future.

It was a great place, found along our walk, it was a Sunday and we enjoyed delicious barbecue food and the staff were really friendly and welcoming, I would definitely recommend it.

We visited on a Thursday lunchtime to eat. A very friendly welcome and we were given a choice of tables to sit at. We ordered our drinks, were given menus and told they would bring our drinks to the table. The food menu was excellent and it was difficult to make a choice. We decided to share a starter and they kindly brought two plates. There were three female staff, all dressed neatly in black, who all provided an efficient and friendly service. All of our food was excellent and came promptly. The pub is very interesting with lots of nooks and crannies and a superb great hall above the bar. An extensive patio area to the rear.

Beautiful food, fantastic customer service from start to finish 10/10

The roast was decent, very nice gravy and veg, fortunately some mint sauce was found (a must!). Loved the little bees on the sticky toffee pudding and it tasted really good. Service was fast and friendly.

Been to this lovely pub twice in the past couple Of months, food is amazing and staff so friendly Highly recommend

Delightful pub/restaurant and a great menu selection

Lovely pub ,great staff food and beer garden

Very nice atmosphere, service a little long but very good!

Sunday roast was good. Great variety of accompanying vegetables. Staff friendly and willing. Good atmosphere inside pub. Large outside seated area.

Lovely old pub with great food and beer.

Stopped into this pleasant pub in the pretty village of Speldhurst while walking the Tunbridge Wells Circular Route from Southborough to Tunbridge Wells. I had a much needed pint of Harvey's Sussex Best after the walk up Speldhurst Hill. I didn't try the food but the menu sounded good. I enjoyed my pint outside in the large courtyard area. Service was friendly. It's well worth popping upstairs in the pub to admire the ceiling, mind your head on the beams though!

Excellent food. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Well done. Fabulous place

Lovely food, beautifully presented to us.

Had Sunday lunch with my family their was ten of us for lunch the food was excellent as was the staff

After a busy early afternoon, we stopped and had the fish and chips, which were brilliantly cooked, the fish was delicious, chips cooked just right, the sauces and minty pea were just spot on. All in all, it's a fantastic meal to sit and enjoy in your amazing front seating overlooking the church, lovely to unwind on a sunny Saturday afternoon.

There were 9 of us for lunch. The service was excellent. Food great We will definitely be visiting again.

A beautiful quaint pub/restaurant with an incredible menu and drink selection. The pub gardens and location of the George and dragon really is what gives this pub the extra edge. Speldhurst is a beautiful and idealistic village in the outskirts of Tunbridge Wells, holding much historical value.

Fish n chips were overcooked and subsequently lack of taste.

Lovely Sunday lunch made all the better by Jake and Emily - will definitely be returning

What a lovely experirnce - wonderful service from Emily, amazing food and a lovely atmosphere - would highly recommend. Thank you x

What a wonderful Sunday lunch. I can't recommend the George & Dragon enough. Jack and Emily who looked after us were exceptional. A proper pub with proper food. Just right a little bear used to say.

We were just passing by Tunbridge wells and decided to try this pub for dinner. It is a beautiful pub from the Elizabethan style exterior, elegant and cosy British pub interior. The service was efficient and friendly. However, it was the food that could have been improved, the waiter was a bit too efficient and checked back on us too early as I haven't had a chance to try everything I ordered to say if everything was okay. We ordered chunky skin on chips for £4 a portion which was generous in size but was a tad bit too dry which was off putting to eat. The moules starter had promise as it was elegantly presented, generous portion of good quality bread, priced at £9, mussels were fresh but the sauce lacked the flavour you would expect from moules dish so was again felt slightly let down. On the other hand, my friend had sausage and mash which was delicious as they used good quality sausages, the gravy had good flavour to it and a generous portion. So just have to be selective in what you order next time. Overall, it was a lovely pub to visit and seems like a popular one. So unfortunate to mention the food in a critical way but felt like it was important to say.

One of the best pubs in the area - worth a stop. Staff are fantastic too!

We managed to get a last minute booking for early Sunday lunch! We sat by the fire, best roast beef I have had in a while, attentive service and fabulous atmosphere! I feel like more and more pubs like this are hard to find! A real gem -1000/10

Highly recommended, service was great with happy staff. Chicken pie and burger were both excellent. We won’t pass without stopping at the George and Dragon again when in the area.

Absolutely unbelievable! Stopped in for lunch after not getting to visit for 20 years, had the most welcoming service in a super cozy atmosphere and sat right by the fireplace. Our meals are going to be hard to beat anywhere else, from the children's mac and cheese, to the lamb pie, to the sticky toffee pudding, everything was delicious. Without a doubt anytime we get to come back to Speldhurst for a visit we will plan a lunch or dinner here. My son said his sticky toffee pudding was a rating of a million out of ten. Well done! Can't say enough about our experience 🥰 thank you!!

Service was great. Food was superb. No complaints at all. Highly recommended!

Great quality Sunday roast and super food. Fantastic staff and service ! And yes , Lovely old Kentish pub. Highly recommend. ⭐️

Excellent Sunday roast. Great food and service.

A lovely, welcoming, traditional village pub with very friendly staff and a delicious food offering (the mussels were particularly good); better still, they were very welcoming towards our dog too. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back, a great place to rest after walking the local countryside.

Really great country pub, the service was good and we really enjoyed the food. Lovely atmosphere

Friendly service and excellent food 👌

What a fantastic place, the roast dinner was excellent.

Amazing Sunday Roast. I was part of a very large group eating in the medieval barn. Fantastic attentive service. The team of waitresses were outstanding in every respect managing to serve the delicious food speedily and they were so responsive to any requests. Super smiley- all in all a lovely experience. A big thank you to everyone involved.

Rubbish roast dinner, on Sunday late pm, the potatoes were reheated and tasted awful and the balsamic vinegar in red cabbage was way too much that took over the dinner! No parsnip too! I had sticking toffee for pudding was not great and the cheap ice cream topping was watering The waitresses were poor slow service but it was pretty quiet in the restaurant!

This was a great visit. The staff were really great, friendly & not flustered with a full pub. Food was tasty & there was a couple of vegetarian options which were good

Amazing food and service even though it was a very busy Sunday. Difficult to better this place.

Fantastic local pub - absolutely worth a visit!

We've just been for an excellent Sunday lunch. Delicious food as always, complemented by truly great service. A particular mention for Sue, who's friendly and efficient manner - even during a busy service period - really made our Sunday lunch a treat. Thanks Sue.

Excellent food , starters , main course and dessert. One of the best meals I had in this trip to the UK. 👍👍👍👍👍

Beautiful 13th century building pub that has maintained the original look & feel. The food was amazing (had the porchetta and apple & plum crumble). The fireplaces dotted around the interior are a wonderful piece of ambiance. On top of this the service was incredibly friendly and helpful, they even prepped a surprise sausage for the dog!

Absolutely delicious lunch; superb, quick and friendly service from Sue and an ambience we have come to so appreciate at our “local”. Thank you, once again.

Excellent customer service, food and everything was perfect for the big celebration we planned here. The food was absolutely amazing. Thanks so much to all the staff!

Burger tasted like it was made out of an old boot and was so tall it was inedible. Make it taste good before you make it look good.

Beautiful food as always. Service is lovely & attentive , We also tried the tasting menu last year and was delightful. Fire fire is lovely too.

I've been to the george and dragon 6 times now , never disappointed, the head of house comes round and talks to his patrons, staff are great and very helpful, food outstanding for a pub 👏 lee

Visited with my husband, parents and baby for a family dinner while staying in the local area for a wedding. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, food was excellent and atmosphere was great, lively without being crowded. Wish this was our local!! Hope to see G&D team again!

We were called before we arrived to alert us to the fact that there would be a reduced menu, which was very good of them. We still went along and the food was delicious. The staff were equally delightful! Smiley, happy and friendly. It was very quiet, so atmosphere is difficult to gauge!

Nice place a bit out in the sticks. Good service and food reasonably priced.

We had a family wedding here today and Richard and his team went above and beyond to make sure the day was amazing. We are all local to speldhurst and it’s lovely to see the pub in such good hands , thank you .

Love coming here for lunch/dinner and drinks with friends. The live music in garden has been a great touch, the kids love it, the food is excellent and it's always busy. Also just going for a quiet drink with friends for a catchup is also great. The burger we had recently was delicious and a good range of beers on tap.

People need to know about this burger!!! It's hands down the best in Tunbridge Wells, by far! I've been coming to the George for years and feel like now they've nailed the perfect burger (and truffle chips!) Great beer garden too:)

Really good pub with enjoyable atmosphere. Excellent service and professional staff. Smart garden with loads of seating 👍

Had lunch here with my wife and daughter and grandson,lovely food well cooked and presented,well impressed.

Great old wooden pub with a large garden

Food and service was good. It was very busy due to late booking for a funeral wake. We had a very enjoyable meal and would visit again.

My son and I repaid a visit we made last year. The menu was excellent and the service excellent and personal. We both enjoyed our meals - 10" Rib-Eye Steak and Haddock and chips with crispy, cider batter.

Really great food. Really good service. Lovely atmosphere. Refused to pay £10 for the extra gravy we ordered!!! It wasn't a problem. They took it off the bill 🤔🤔

Amazing service, made to feel really welcome and not rushed. Friendly and professional. Good food made a big day really special.

Great news from my last visit, no complaints about food. Fish properly cooked this time. Eton mess probably best I've had for a long time. Harvey's bitter tasted great.

Bar tender came outside to offer another round of 2.5 pints. Bill came with a service charge! Ridiculous! Just for walking to the bar and back. Watch out!

One of the best pub roasts I’ve had in a long time. Our servers were excellent and friendly, and the food is perfect. Some places can be really hit and miss with their roasts but this was spot on. Loads of gravy, lots of meat and vegetables, really well cooked and a huge Yorkshire to top it off. I’d thoroughly recommend the George and Dragon to everyone - you won’t regret it

First time visiting the G&D and it honestly felt like we had been locals in there for years! We felt so welcomed by our server Tess and Richard. The food was lovely and great value. Will definitely be returning and supporting another beautiful village pub.

This pub is a real gem, lovely inside decor and to match it has a great outside garden. The food has been excellent every-time we have been. The staff are brilliant too.

Went for a drink Tuesday evening. My companion had a burger which was nice although found the £18 a little more expensive than necessary - I’d had a burger the previous evening in Southborough for £18:50, so seems to be the average price around here. I guess times are changing and it will be like going back to the 70’s & 80’s for me - when people only ate out for special occasions. It was enjoyable sitting outside, there are heaters, lights & outdoor speakers. Ideal for plane spotters like me if the planes are inbound to Gatwick flying overhead. Nice staff & atmosphere. Haven’t been for years and I’ll try not to leave it so long next time as it’s very pleasant.

We had a celebration dinner for 20 people last night and the G&D were exemplary!! The food was absolutely delicious, the staff couldn’t have done more and our night was perfect. We were reserved an area outside for drinks then went upstairs to a private area for dinner. The table looked gorgeous. Thank you to all the staff who made our night perfect!

Me and my friend enjoy a lovely summer lunch outside. Beautiful building, amazing food and great customer service. It wasn't busy when we went. It was a weekday. It was perfect

Excellent food, lovely staff, couldn't do enough for you, I arrived at lunch time and my one criticism would be no lunch menu only one main Menu, but the food I chose was delicious and sat in the garden in the sun was heaven

Excellent food and friendly, helpful staff. Very polite. Will definitely visit more often.

Beautiful old building sensitively restored with tasteful decoration. Food is yummy 👍🏻

This is one of the best pubs I randomly popped in. We had a day of climbing in Harrison’s Rocks and having a dinner in the pub was the great ending of the day. Delicious starter, main dish and dessert, reasonably sized and very filling. Friendly staff and serving was prompt. Will definitely come for a dinner again when back in the area.

Late lunch for a party of 8. Food was delicious and the service was spot on. Definitely worth a visit.

We dropped in for lunch. It’s a lovely old pub, loads of character. We both really enjoyed the food, the beer was good, there was a lovely warm welcome and we sat in the sunny garden with our dog. What could beat all that?

Very good food, service not so great a bit slow but overall very nice

Lovely old country pub, good service and beers. The manager was very visible and took an interest in his customers.

We booked the George and Dragon for a Christmas lunch after having come here once for the most delicious Sunday roast. Our 2 year old son woke up on Christmas morning vomiting which led us to having to cancel our trip from London to the George and Dragon. Richard, the manager, could not have been more incredible. He offered us a refund or voucher to return which we did so this weekend and I cannot fault the food and incredible staff here. It really is top quality. Everything from the produce, the exceptional cuisine and attention to detail on everything from decor to customer experience. Despite coming with two toddlers, the staff did not bat an eyelid at the spills and mess caused and did everything in their power to give us an incredible day. If you are wondering whether to go to the pub or not JUST GO. You won't regret it! It's one of the special places you will return to again and again.

Great dinner. Beautiful drive there. Will be back very soon.

A wonderful country pub, with an excellent team, and beautifully cared-for dishes 🍽️ A special thanks to Michael, a great host, as well as very knowledgeable about watches 🕰️ 👍🏻

Had our first pub meal as a married couple here. Food was extraordinary! Very large servings that I was stuffed and my partner couldn't finish hers, but the quality was immense. We went for the vegetarian roast with cauliflower cheese and the fish and chips. Highly recommended. Only annoyance was lack of parking, but the staff opened up another parking spot for us, so no big deal.

The best lunch time in a long time good food great service chicken ham pie is to die for as for the rhubarb crumble it needs to come with a health warning

Nice dry white wine. Friendly service. Only a quick visit.

Great atmosphere and delicious food! I’ll be back! 🍷

Great ambiance, food nice but a little expensive. Great for a meal on a Kent country side tour.
