George & Dragon in Lichfield

Expensive pub prices for very basic freezer food. No atmosphere. No steaks available they had run out. Wouldn’t recommend. Customer service not the best. Menu was covered in food and sticky.

Lovely pub with a very welcoming atmosphere. The new owners are great. Can’t wait to visit again.

We had still got half a pint and he was telling us come on drink up ladies the new land lord is very rude and he did not make you feel welcome

This pub is brilliant amazing staff great food and a brilliant atmosphere. I would highly recommend going in a Tuesday when ale is cheap and the sirloin stake is amazing

Lovely food and very friendly staff. Really enjoyed sitting in front of the log fire. Looking forward to coming back for a Sunday roast when they're back on the menu next week!

Excellent outside service in a heated marquee. Fantastic staff with fast and efficient service. A great experience.

Wasn’t my cup of tea quite boring and In date

I had portion chips and they was very greasy , and over cooked i had to ask for cutlery and sauces . I not seen the waiter before he was lacking hospitality skills . Boys doing drinks very friendly polite .

Great food and a good selection of real ales. But of a wait for the food order, but was told beforehand. Friendly staff.

Great food and service from the new owners, will be using as my new local!

Not the best if I'm honest ! Rump steak was tough for all 4 of us ! Myself & my daughter had the rump steak ,chips, onion rings & peas . Not worth the money at all, Gave the dog most of my steak ! Peas were hard . Hubby and son in law had mixed grill, again steak was tough and such a small peice, sausages were overcooked and dry! Hubbys fried egg was over cooked Chicken & Chips were ok , but certainly not worth over £16 ! No one bothered to do a check back , had they have done I would've said something . Shall not be visiting again unfortunately!

Great staff very helpful and friendly, great room,

Nice typical British pub. Haven't tried the food, but it looks good. Own car park and beer garden at the back.

Beer was reasonably priced and the food was well priced too and of excellent quality. We were a table of 7 people. We all got our food at the same time. Staff were polite and friendly. I can not find a fault.

Amazing food, large portions @ great prices! Friendly staff, clean nice pub

Sign in the pub says 'no smoking, no vaping '. Opposite which is a bloke chuffing away on his vape.

A great place to chill out and be happy

This has become our favorite local since moving to the village 3 months ago. The combination of friendly staff, good drinks, and delicious food keep us coming back. The traditional pub decor, convenient parking, and lovely outdoor seating add to the charm of this beautiful pub. Don't change a thing!!

Was late for a family meal due to emergency. They held service for 30 mins for us. The food was excellent

Stayed one night in Room 1 as visiting friends in Lichfield. The village is lovely and the pub is fab. Landlord and staff so friendly. £55 for a room. Comfy bed, slept like a baby. Yes there is a shared bathroom but you know that when you book up so I don’t understand other reviewers commenting on that. Plus £8 pp for a full English breakfast, which was very tasty. Great place. Will return when visiting the area again. Top pub.

Sadly my meal was dreadful, had the pie, pastry Rick hard and burnt. They didn’t do anything about it 😞

Pub and food were good enough. But our bedroom, which we stayed in for 3 nights, unfortunately not up to standard.... Carpet, not hoovered! Full of dog hair, and other matter, as was rattan couch, full of dog hair. Massively needs updating! The bed was OK, and clean sheets. But they need to hire in cleaners. Also bathroom....shower needed cleaning, I counted 5 spiders in the shower alone.....and as you are sat on toilet, you will notice very dirty skirting boards and radiator dirty....and the fact that you have to share this bathroom...it should be cleaned regularly !!!! Why don't thy know that...for 2 of those days, there was a bit of smeared poo on the floor, which I refuse to clean up ! NEEDS ALOT OF ATTENTION!!!!

Food and service was fantastic. Sat outside, everything was very neat and tidy. The "rabbit hutch" is a lovely place to sit.

Good honest food at a reasonable price. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, staff and locals all seemed to be having a lovely time. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent pub with a traditional range of beers. The food is very good and the staff very polite and friendly. This is one of 3 pubs in Alrewas and possibly the most popular. They do have plenty of parking and limited availability on accommodation.

Smashing pub. Really nice atmosphere good quality food and great beer. Staff are very welcoming and very helpful. I also saw they have bands in every now and then so will definitely be back for one of them!!!

Good service and.beer food good but not great. Food muchic improved since our last visit. Service and food not up to standard of the past

Nice place, and friendly staff. No decent wine, only bad quality Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay, which went out in the 90s. No steak last time, and no tartar sauce for fish n chips. Went back a few days ago, and food was better. Nice wine available too 😁 Went back again, and had uncooked tough steak, which is supposed to be dry aged, but was cheapest tough old meat ever.

Service & food were excellent, especially on a lovely-weather Saturday evening. Had 2 meals, dessert, and a couple of drinks each & everything came out perfectly (cooked as ordered, condiments and sides and such) and the chocolate cake & Rocky Road Sundae were wonderful before our walk back to the canal. Highly recommend! *Edit to add - it was so good, we stopped again on our way back up the canal, and once again, absolutely perfect! We couldn’t have felt more welcome and at ease, even tho we are clearly not local with our Kentucky, US accents. We ate several good meals around Alrewas but if we had to choose just one place to eat every time we’re in the area, this will be it.*

Great pub. And hotel. Bar lady's extremely helpful. Managers went out there way to book me in again and keep luggage safe till returned from work. Set as your nan would have bedroom but with smart TV. And the comfiest beds ever.. thank you

Amazing location. Amazing staff. Amazing pub grub.

I had lunch at the George and Dragon recently, I was eating on my own so I was really glad of the friendly service. I had a burger and chips, it was served really quickly and it was delicious. I regularly recommend the George for great pub food and a warm welcome.

Amazing fun, puddings to die for ! Super friendly and helpful and lovely atmosphere

The George and Dragon in Alrewas is a great choice for good drinks, tasty food, and a welcoming atmosphere.

Well had I have known that a side plate of yummy cheesy chips were going to be so awesome I would have had them sooner. Lovely meal out with friends and nice to catch up with the friendly locals. Will definitely go again 😁

Extremely disappointed with the food. You would think that ingredients for a simple plate of Natchos would be easy to source. Nope. Sour cream ‘style’ sauce!! Cheese sauce (what’s wrong with real cheese?). It was really cheap tasteless rubbish. We didn’t even get any guacamole which was on the menu (probably awful too). We did mention the key missing ingredient but no offer to put things right; though an apology was given. We won’t be returning.

Good,honest pub,lovely staff and decent menu at reasonable prices!

New me u so tried the new Hotdog. It was delicious and filling. Great value for money. Staff were very friendly and the service was quick. Nice atmosphere... Nice village pub

Really lovely “festive menu” Boxing Day family lunch….food was tasty, staff were fab, great value….😊

Great old fashion pub,it just a nice place to be

Festive lunch for 23 people. It was first rate, food and service.

We booked three night’s accommodation and two family meals arriving 1 December travelling from Cornwall. On the way to the room we where told it was A shared bathroom and shower for the three rooms this came as a total surprise , which obviously showed as the young lady said it is on the booking site. They refunded our money in full with no complaint. I checked the booking page when filling in the booking page there is a section giving the rooms facilities it had no mention of having or not having an on-suite But when you click to confirm you then enter another page which has a title room facilities you click to open and this does mention that it is shared bathroom! I did not click when booking. This is now 8pm and we had to find new accommodation. We did not cancel our two dinner reservations Table for six and next day a table for four. When our table of six met on the 2nd December we where surprised at the normal bar menu as we believed from their webpage it was festive fair when asked they said we have to book festive fair two weeks ahead!!! My booking was at least six weeks ahead but was never told this when booking on the phone (the only way no online booking service) so it turned out to be a pretty bland affair. We left the venue undecided whether to return for our family of four as we where told they don’t offer Sunday lunch. There is no email service to the pub so I hope they read this as we won’t be eating at the George and Dragon on Sunday 3rd. Make your own conclusions to what you think has taken place but we thought things could be so better.

Fabulous food, brilliant service and very welcoming…

Popped in for quick lunch with family and friends. Let’s get the positives out of the way first: only two of our party wanted a main meal. One chose fish and chips and the other had the gammon. Both were reasonably happy with their choices, although the gammon chooser was rather disappointed that the egg was way overdone and hard. Myself and my wife just wanted a snack, so picked the prawn cocktail: “Succulent prawns in a Marie Rose sauce. Served on a bed of shredded iceberg lettuce, with cucumber and a lemon wedge. Served with multigrain bloomer bread & butter.” The bread was lovely! No lemon, no cucumber, no lettuce. Just a dish of prawns with enough sauce to nearly cover about maybe one and a half prawns. After eating a couple of prawns I noticed that most of them were still frozen, so I took them back to the bar. The guys were extremely apologetic. The replacements arrived and we were assured that they were different prawns, but it was still just a bowl of watery prawns with a droplet of sauce. Did we complain? Nah, couldn’t be arsed, but won’t go back. You have been warned.

I don’t normally write reviews about accommodation I stay at but… Stayed for a couple of nights as work had booked it. Shared bathroom for the 3 rooms was clean, however the shower was terrible. It appears that it should only be used on eco mode and heating cannot go above a certain level before cutting out with “low pressure warning”. Someone had marked this on the shower unit, so must be a known issue. No desk to work at in the rooms & wifi speeds are less than 3mbs download/0.45mbs upload, so unable to do any work in there. The room I stayed in was dated, did have black out curtains but also had an emergency light with green LED that made sleep near impossible. The pub looked nice enough, but TBH would not stay here again.

Lovely food nice staff always lots of people eat there

We had a nice meal - Cowboy burger and Gammon steak were good. But first we shared what we thought was going to be Nachos. Please avoid these. The pub should not try to serve these as Mexican Nachos. The only edible bit were the tortilla chips. Squeezy processed cheese squirted over the tortillas and watery salsa, sour ‘cream’ was still in the shape of the jar it came out of. The guacamole was adequate-ish. Yuck. Other than that a nice pub and a good pint. Tried to edit online other persons details but couldn’t so ignore other comments.

Arrived at the pub to spend the night there. Had booked in for dinner which was very nice. The staff were friendly and helpful. The steps to the accommodation are very steep so not for the disabled. The bed was comfortable but the pillows had seen better days and were very flat. Also, no one had been round the paintwork with a damp cloth in a long time as the dust was stuck to it and the room could do with an overhaul but value for money.

Thank you so very very much for helping us when the A38 was closed. I forgot the name of the lovely barman (in the relief of being helped!) who guided us home but please thank him again from us - I'm sorry another motorist pipped at him. Thank you also to Nick and the other chaps for being so helpful. Your pub looks lovely btw!

Good food, craft beers, friendly staff. Good range of meals at reasonable prices.

What an amazing pub,stayed a couple of nights and was very impressed. The food was excellent,had breakfast for the 2 mornings and an evening meal,the food was excellent and not at all expensive, compliments to Nick the chef who was also the landlord. The staff were super friendly, and as was the atmosphere in the pub. I will certainly be visiting again and would highly recommend this to anyone. Thank you again to the George & Dragon for making my stay worthwhile.

Superb pub, great food and entertainment across the month.

Fist time for a very long time-very very nice - will come again - thank you

Great local village pub. Good range of beers, fairly standard menu range, that is good value and served to all areas including outside. Jade is an excellent front of house manager able to multi task drinks and food service for customers with consummate ease and friendly smile.

Wonderful village pub/restaurant. Very welcoming, great staff, good food. Overall a really good place to have a good time.

Great afternoon with friends few beers and some nibbles

All good except one gin and lemonade cost over £6 ! When I queried it I was told I was charged for 2 lemonades as I asked for a splash more! Bare in mind this was from the tap and not a bottle! This has never happened anywhere else ever ! I am feeling ripped off and angry!

Lovely food, lots of variety from the menu also a children's menu. Not overly busy, will be coming back

Service was good but burgers were tasteless, dry and overcooked.

We really enjoy going to the George & Dragon Good food good ale Lovely welcoming staff Very dog friendly We take our 5 with us.

Nice friendly pub with good beer

Friendly staff and value for money food.

Difficult to share my experience as it was lunch time. The place was very quiet. Service was good and the food was good and tasty.

What a lovely friendly pub. The staff, very happy, The food, all cooked to perfection. All food piping hot served on hot plates. Would thoroughly recommend this pub. Definitely give it 5*****

Lovely pub, just stopping by while visiting the Arboretum. I’m sure I’ll be back :) Nice beer, nice atmosphere, nice pork scratchings. The kind barmaid even let me charge my phone for a bit with her charger. Many thanks!

Booked through booking.com for a 2 night stay. We were shown to the room and my heart sank. It was dreary and dated and in desperate need of a good clean. We tried to find another hotel but all were full so had to stay for the first night. Thankfully we have managed to get a hotel for tonight so won't be returning. We are £110 down, which I know is not a huge amount but we at least expected a clean room. The mattress and mattress protector were filthy, the sofa in the room stained, the walls were wafer thin so we could hear everything the other guest was doing, the shared bathroom was filthy- faeces on the loo seat, filthy shower and in need of a good wipe down and vacuum. When the toilet is flushed, the sound is like an aircraft landing on the building, no hot water in sink in the room. Bizarrely, the heating came on at 3am despite the temp being 19 degrees. Couldn't open window until pub closed as smokers used area below room. We have stayed in.pubs before and have never had such a bad experience. I feel totally robbed. How they can charge to stay here is an insult. The only good point is free parking. We will not return. I have photos which will not load atm. I will try again later

Thank you for letting us stay over just before the Bearded Theory festival, your staff are very welcoming.

Nice food, pub basics. Based in a lovely little village, good selection of drinks, friendly staff

Nice wee pub in a beautiful little village. Good beer and dog friendly. Could use a little redecorating but only if You're picky.. nice atmosphere.

Great for a Pint with my local family x

When ordering our food at the bar, we asked for a Sunday roast, as had looked at menus on line, which stated that they served a Sunday roast, the lady said ‘ooh no we don’t do stuff like that’ I did suggest if that was the case then the web site should be updated accordingly. We chose other options from the menu, I was told quite rudely that I ordered 3 macaroni, no I ordered 2, if I wanted 3 that’s what I would have asked for. 2 of our drinks we ordered were soft drinks, when I asked if we could have ice in them, there was a huff as she had to go and get some as the ice bucket was empty. Our meals were fine. After which another of our party went to the bar to order another round of drinks, the same bar tender looked at her, ignored her and went on her mobile phone, then the male bar tender came along and served a group of locals who had come to the bar after, so we left. I have worked in the pub trade for many years, and bad customer service grinds me to the bone, if you have lack customer service skills, then find a job in another sector. I also understand that people have off days, but still no need to be rude. Such a shame that one person can let a team down so much!

When I passed through Alrewas - about eight or nine years ago - and visited The George and Dragon for an evening meal which turned out to be the worst meal I had ever had - anywhere, and I have travelled the world quite extensively, it was nothing short of vile. On the odd occasion of passing through and noticing that it had changed hands but I had neither the interest or inclination to visit again - until last night. The first obvious thing to notice was the decor - very nice and the warm welcome of the staff as open and genuine. The meal ordered arrived very quickly and was piping hot and after consuming I was sated. I can only say on my return journey I will be visiting again and am really looking forward to it and would genuinely recommend this pub without reservation.

Good food and good prices what more do you want

Steak was cooked to perfection, great selection of lagers and ales, helpful and friendly staff, best pub in the village!

Fantastic food, great choice of lagers, ale and wine.

Stayed at the George over the weekend very good place clean very friendly excellent food would recommend to anyone

Excellent service and a great pint too 😎

Great pub good food and great drinks. Prices are very good and staff are very friendly and willing to help. Would definitely recommend

Too daunting, I don't drink booze, yet thought I made 3 friends at this pub yet made to feel incredibly unwelcome for absolutely no reason after. Definitely not the place for me at all. History with drinkers too is also triggering to me as well so I always avoid as much possible.

Great pub and friendly host. Cheap room to stop over with breakfast next morning

3 tuppence for a pint. Excellent

Friendly staff and welcoming place to go with family. Also very cosy and not too loud. Drinks and food was excellent which is why we're bringing friends and family at the end of the month for dinner. Really looking forward to it.

Super friendly staff and a great atmosphere. The food was very nice and good prices. Would recommend!

Excellent value and good service.

Great pub! Excellent 'burger + drink' offer, £11.50. Really tasty and more fries than I could eat, can't fault it.

Second night we have eaten here this week and both nights all seven of us were happy with the food. The pub is really nice and staff are friendly, nice atmosphere

Really nice place to eat and drink

Good food, nice friendly local pub. Love coming here since fradley has nothing.

Great beer food and service and malamute friendly too !

Great little pub, friendly atmosphere. Food is good too.

NATCHOS sharer A FEW flakes of unmelted grated cheese and tiny amounts of salsa sour cream and guacamole, Very dry and Un enjoyable STEAK IVe never had such a TOUGH steak before like this one , I had to cut it into tiny pieces to ge able to chew n swallow it , mentioned it to our server who just smiled and said “oh” DRINK OF COKE ordered two glasses of coke which was measured out and only filled the normal size ball glass to half , ( as we didn’t have ice ) Second drink I asked for ice which baught up the level to 3/4 in the glass I really wanted to say can I have the other half of the drink pkease What really anoyed me was the server knew we were not happy and was un-reactive to us PLEASE REDEEM YOURSELVES AND PROVE TO ME YOU CAN COOK !!!! Very unhappy as I work hard for my money and this was a total waste of my money

Popped in for lunch and wasn't disappointed. Lovely village pub with food specials. Beef Bourginon was excellent and the service friendly and speedy. Great pub and will return

Great pub not been here for years. Still good

Great landlord. Good meal and atmosphere. Lovely and clean too

A lovely stopover. Room was comfortable, clean and breakfast was definitely worth it. Thank you for your warm welcome.

Alrewas is about 6 miles outside Lichfield, This Marston Pub has all 3 things that you require in a great pub are a resting place, food and drink, even a tv in the main pub to watch sport on. We booked to spend one evening here as wasn't disappointed with what was on offer. The room is basic but clean but well heat ...one thing that might spoil it is that you share the bathroom facilities but that wasn't a problem with us, Bar was was modern and looked like it had a recent refit. bare was full of different beers as a Marston pub wainwright on draught was a bonus for me.... the bus stop is outside the pub at £3.80 to Lichfield bus station by the way about £15 in a taxi back at night... breakfast in the morning is filling and fresh food and will set you up for the day... if i ever visit the area again i will stay at the George & Dragon

Travelling on the canals at quiet time of year, it's always nice to find a pub prepared to offer food on a Monday. Staff were pleasant, good pub grub.

We enjoyed our visit, the meals we had were hot & tasty. Thanks to the staff for welcome & service.

Lovely pub, great beers, great food fantastic atomsphere

6 of us ate here on Saturday evening. In addition to the above comment about the bbq chicken burger made by one of the group who is a big burger expert. All meals were excellent pub grub (curry, mixed grill, sausage and mash, lasagne plus ultimate chicken burger). Beer was good (pedigree) and accommodated the 2 collies too. Lots of poor reviews but we had a great meal and super evening.
