Green Dragon in Enfield

Used to be my go to local spot for food and drinks and the football. New ownership decisions are a bit bizarre, no issues with the staff (although needs more of them on shift) went on a Super Sunday during the match and only 1 staff present who wasn’t at the bar for half of it as naturally she had to clean glasses and whatnot. Went to order in for the second half of game 1 in preparation for the second game to be told they don’t do any. Very weird decision for a pub to stop serving food and ended up leaving as we wanted food for the games (wasn’t even drinking but usually would have needed food even more to soak up the alcohol). Was told you can bring outside food in but once leaving the place to go out, it makes more sense to walk elsewhere to eat and drink seen as you’ve already left. Went with 3 friends and all left due to the lack of food. On a day when ordering beers would have also been throwing away the purchase of at least 2/3 pints alongside the purchase of food per person. Feels like they’re throwing away lots of potential business+customers. Bring back food please 🙏 Pool table a nice touch though

Best pub I’ve ever been to in my entire life

I have to say i really liked this. Under new ownership sinse halloween. Much better than before and better prices. Also three lovely ladies two of which are the new landladies i assume. Very friendly . They were putting up a very impressive Christmas tree. Made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I will definitely be a frequent visitor from now on. And if you ladies are reading this i was the man with the green jacket drinking cruzcampo sitting at the bar. Definitely recommended

I recommended this pub to friends who wanted to have a meet up with friends on 28th September before moving abroad. They paid £600 for food which was disgusting.. It was cold and cheap processed food..They put £500 behind the bar. And we continued to pay for drinks when the tab ran out. So more than £2000 My friend was told that we had to leave at 8pm as 3 children present. Age 12yr 10yr and 7yr. This suited us and we ordered taxis for 8pm. At 7pm the manager came and told us that we should have left at 6.30 with kids. We explained what was told to us. He threatened to call the police and then turned the outside heaters off. Very unprofessional and childish behaviour from a manager. Considering their website clearly states that kids have to be gone by 8pm. The only positive is that the 2 bar men were lovely that day but the manager 'J' should not work in the hospitality industry. Would never go back and would definitely never recommend them again. Also my friend has emailed them 3 times with no response.

Their burglar alarm keeps going off in the middle of the night

Bar staff are fantastic. And they gave me a free bucket hat

An OK pub, with lots of outdoor seating but quite expensive

Had a lovely time until Joshua asserted his sub standard management skills. Left with children in tears. Avoid at all costs

Rude unhelpful, Joshua in particular was a nightmare

Waaaay overpriced food (even for East London). Pretty sure dressing from a bottle. Burnt food.

Wonderful service, very enjoyable ambiance!

Wonderful experience! Great service. Will be back!

Kerry was amazing and made us feel so welcome

Joshua is amazing … what a lovely guy ❤️

The pub was great, joshua was better. Very accommodating, great Guinness, but Josh really made the whole experience for us all

Great Guinness and atmosphere, lovely atmosphere for the sport. Josh was very hospitable

Great pub, been great for the footy and lovely staff quick service. Joshua great too!

they claim to be dog-friendly but management didn't let us in... nothing to do with the dog as they didn't even look at him, just told the bouncers we couldn't come inside. lying to customers isn't great 🤷‍♂️

One of the best pubs I’ve been to. Really great environment for an F1 race and drinks were nice. Food was delicious and above what you would expect. Staff were great and the environment is exactly what you want.

While the wait staff were wonderful, I'm deeply disappointed. I made plans with friends to come here tonight for their scheduled karaoke night, only to be told that their DJ canceled at the last minute, and there were no backup plans for the event. I would have paid for multiple drinks and quite a bit of food to stay for this event, as would my friends, but now we've had to all of us coordinate to try and make new plans. This has led to our plans for the night completely disbanding. And unfortunately, we won't be here next week when they are scheduled to have the event again. The unreliability of the DJ cost them a decent bit of business tonight, and I would request that the owner of the establishment take this into consideration, as I understand that the DJ's cancelation was extremely last minute. Our entire party was extremely let down, our plans have been ruined, and now the whole party has disbanded in disappointment as some try to find another karaoke bar with an open stage, and others have gone home in a poor mood. A deeply disappointing experience from Old George Bethnal Green.

Josh is a hero, lovely boozer, and lovely helpful staff!

Lovely pub - top man Josh behind the bar

Lovely pub! Joshua was a STAR 💯🤠

Booked a table online. Walked a mile to eat. Landlord told us he doesn’t look at the booking app and they don’t have a table. Muppet.

Great venue, unfortunately run by an awful pubco. My beer was 7.35. Food is classic chain pub. Awful and annoying ads on screens going the whole time. There’s much better around.

Great football pub. And Guinness. Lovely Scottish manager 😏

I went into this pub and was absolutely blown away. The staff were amazing and the food was great. I will deffo be back

Freezing cold. Often empty. Staff great but no where near enough of them.

This was once one of my favourite boozers - Now it has been bought by a soulless chain, There are now TVs on the walls to play adverts, an offensively bad pop playlist playing permanently at max volume that the staff can’t even change due to the new rules. Tragically the Old George is now feeling more like a slug and lettuce than a decent east end boozer

Really friendly staff, the food was out of this world, and this place is really good value for money.

Amazing food, really friendly staff. Lovely pub!

Best burger ever, definitely recommend.

What a pub to visit nearby Bethnal Green! They have quiz games and karaoke nights.

The staff (Joshua and Hayley) are da best!!!!

What a great pub, with a large selection of beer! And the pizzas were delicious 😋 Shout out to Hayley and Yash, who were super lovely 🥰

Wide range of beers & drinks.. Amazing Food (everything & anytime) Lovely staff & great all around feeling beeing there.. Would strongly recommend to give this Pub a visit (& not just for a drink!)

Hayley and team are superb, delicious food and great atmosphere 🤩🤩🤩

staff was nice, interior was cozy and not too noisy, but food was horrible

Prices through the roof. V cold inside. Volume of sports is very low.

Decent pub for a quick drink but the food is of very poor quality. Ordered some nachos for the table and nobody dared touching it. (The guacamole was literally frozen). Someone else ordered a burger with chips and it looked like they threw it on the plate.

Booked a few tables for 20+ people 2 weeks in advance. Absolutely no fuss, £40 deposit that I could then use behind the bar which was great for proving snacks for people. Cauliflower wings with siracha mayo were incredible. Dj made some weird selections but nice vibes all round. Some security were a bit intense but mostly really friendly

£7 for 1 mushroom spread across 2 tacos ?? Rip off

Great meeting place for hashers

Super beer garden and excellent venue for sport with plenty of tv viewing spots. Enjoyed a great pizza while watching the challenge cup rugby

the worst burger in town. bad service too. a football pib, if that's your cup of tea

Extremely rude staff. Would give -5 stars if possible.

What can you say, clean pub, friendly staff and the beer tasted good.

Kerrie was great and very friendly

Fine but nothing special. Disappointed that some offers shown in the menu (e.g. 2-4-1 cocktails) weren't running in December, but there was nothing to indicate that until we were told by staff at the bar.

Was another day there. Perfect service from nigel. What a good host he is. Thank you for amazing cocktails and good atmosphere Thank you Nigel

Excellent customer service by my tall guy behind the bar

I just visited last week this pub… food was good and bar tenders ten was very friendly and especially the guy name asif was very friendly and treating so well

Everything was so good and team were cooperative.. Asif served me and he was great guy

We had a brilliant night on Saturday, Nigel was the perfect host. Will return for the food and music

Just went in for old times this area is awful now

This use to be a good pub where a group of 30 plus friends met for Wednesday Wings . The new owner manager is rude and grumpy He hassled us to buy drinks , we couldn’t even wait till all of us arrived. Wednesday Wings Was great but now the sauces cost extra !! We have now decided to take our cocktail drinking , wings eating , weekly catchups elsewhere . Very short sighted ! Soz

Amazing pub, friendly staff and lovely food

Went on Saturday Eveong the bar staff were friendly and loved how they smiled and engaged with us. Will be back very soon

Food was really good, served quickly (there was no-one else eating though), the ladies behind the bar were great, the first barman (and that's being generous) needs sacking frankly. Couldn't pull a pint, offered the non-drinker a pint of soda stained with the tail end of the coke syrup and said "try it anyway", beer was sour, 3 of the lines were down and the entire place was cold, somehow all the tables were booked though. No idea what they served them. Genuinely decent and interesting pub let down by 1 poor staff member and a lack of stock (bearing in mind this was a Saturday night with the Rugby World Cup final on).

Great pub, great selection of beers and great staff, particularly Hayley who gave us some great recommendations!

The Karaage Kid chicken burger was amazing. It's crispy chicken with coleslaw and a little bit of spice. Five stars for that. The fries are like twigs though, those need an upgrade. I came here to watch a football game and I'm glad I did - there are loads of screens and lots of seating. Good beer selection too. Will definitely be back.

The food was disappointing. We ordered the Fish & Chips, and the loaded pulled beef style fries - it took around 25mins for the food to arrive which would have been okay if they came to the table fresh.... The loaded fries (£9) ended up becoming one solid piece glued together with cheese as though it was sitting aside for a while & lukewarm (pic attached). The fish & chips seemed overcooked. The fish was over fried on one side and piping hot vs the colder fries on the plate. The menu said "skin on fries" but they were just freezer McDonald's style fries. It was not a classic pub style meal at all - and definitely not worth the £15. The service from the guy at the bar was great and apologized but we had already pre-paid at the bar.

Good food and very friendly service

Absolutely love this place, gorgeous garden amazing service and delicious food! 10/10 recommend

Great garden and great service. Prices good!

Charming traditional London Pub. We didn't eat there, however they had a good collection of craft beers I couldn't resist London Pride which was in perfect condition. The barman knew all about how to cellar.real ales and it showed in the product

Great atmosphere, great beer, pints are a bit expensive though. Didn't try the food

Decent local boozer, showing live sport. Prices are average for the area but the actual place itself is nicer than many around.

It's an expensive London pint, but it's a great atmosphere and their pub quizzes are real good fun. Would recommend

Love the pub quizz! Bit longer waiting time for food, but not surprised. Pub was packed, worth waiting!!!

Great place to go specially with this hot weather! Big and beautiful garden, good selection of cold craft beers! Lovely and helpful staff. Will be back for sure.

what an amazing pub, mr Joshua was very kind and very handsome! i will definitely be returning soon :D

Awesome drinks and atmosphere! Matty and Josh gave us great service and great food!

Love the outside area and decent beer selection but there are crimes against chicken wings being committed here. Beyond disgusting - if you like wings, avoid at all costs.

Decent pub with a great garden and decent food -hence the 4 star- other than that quite overpriced.

Nice English pub. Very good complaints resolution.

Good food, and beer. Staff look unapproachable. Could have more use of the outdoors with live sport. No atmosphere with music.

This has now closed! So no point in trying to turn up for a drink or a meal. By the time you read this it will probably be a supermarket (unfortunately)

Ahora es Cerrado y no es una sorpresa!

He estado aquí un par de veces en la semana, el restaurante está cerrado con la comida que se sirve en la zona de pub, que no estoy demasiado interesado en sabor pero PILLA a personal.

Me parece recordar el Green Dragon siendo un agradable pub muy bonito, un poco como el Salisbury bajando la calle, pero eso ha cambiado. Parece que se volvieron locos con la pintura negra uno Halloween, bien la parte trasera parece haber evitado. Así que las bebidas, ¿qué hemos lager, lager, sidra, lager, lager y luego dos mano sofá bombas, " ¿qué son", "Lo siento que no funciona, nosotros no tenemos ninguna Ale, lager". Así que este lugar no estará en la lista de CAMRA esperábamos impacientes entonces. Así que subimos a un restaurante completamente vacío (sábado por la noche! ), y se nos pide "hemos reservado? ". Teníamos una recogida de las mesas, y nos las arreglamos para contener nuestra risas hasta el camarero nos dejó. La comida estaba bien, me sentía como que tiene comida preparada y calentar su trabajo, pero en una habitación con 3 m entre las mesas no era el mejor entorno. Así que resumen, buena comida, pero pobre entorno y no ale. Buena suerte en permanecen abiertos.

La competencia por este pub para la comida ha crecido recientemente llevándolos a la escala de satisfacción. Comida del almuerzo normal, pero caro para el estándar. Incluso había leafblower ir en el jardín de la cerveza en el servicio de almuerzo conducir los pocos clientes dentro vacíos por personal - dice algo.

Habiendo estado aquí muchas veces a lo largo de los años y siempre tener una comida estupenda. Me quedé sorprendido con la calidad de la comida, que tenía un aroma distintivo de "hervir en la bolsa" y el servicio es muy lento. Otros amigos han notificado experiencias similares. No volveremos.

Llegamos en el pub alrededor de las 9, pedimos unas bebidas en 9,30 9,40 shisha (6:00) y me dijeron que teníamos 20 minutos para llegar y salir! Nos dijeron que decide cuando el pub cierra y armado un lío y nos hizo salir. Pedí hablar con el gerente y el bar hombre llegó y habló con nosotros y Pretendió ser el gerente y cuando pedimos hablar con el gerente me dijo que estaba en la planta de arriba y muy ocupado! Hay signos de que claramente decir el pub cierra a las 11 de la noche. Estoy absolutamente maravillado por la mala educación de el personal esta incluido el hombre del bar con vasos, otro hombre de bar (mediterráneo, con ojos azules) y la chica que trabaja en el bar que estaba sentado en el jardín de la cerveza charlando con el otro hombre del bar todo el tiempo. No volveré aquí. Pagué por shisha que estaba iluminado por 20 minutos. Pésimo servicio

Llegamos esta noche (01/09/2014) con una persona y conocimos a otros 4. Nos subimos a comprar dos bebidas alcohólicas junto a fuera shisha en el jardín de la cerveza. Esto era de aproximadamente 9:30 :45. Por el momento en el que nos sentamos para reunirse y saludar a los amigos y pedir la shisha, alrededor de las 23:00 9:50 dijeron por un camarero el pub estaba cerrando a las 10:00 pm a pesar las señales en las instalaciones y en línea indicando sus horas cierre era 11:00. Nos preguntó y comentamos con el miembro del personal que respuesta era que «es demasiado tranquilo, así que estamos cerrando'. Así que como consumidor pedimos hablar con el gerente para resolver el problema de manera justa (I. e - pedir un límite fijo de tiempo para terminar nuestras bebidas y shisha (20-30 minutos sería razonable).

The service was terrible, there was not enough staff on the bar, we had to wait 20mins each time to get a drink. When we complained to the manager his attitude was even worse. Not recommended.

Yo a veces vienen aquí en mi pausa para el almuerzo en el trabajo con colegas y nos encanta. £7.95 por una copa de vino (o un refresco) y un curry es una ganga. La comida sabe muy bien y el personal es amable. Comida siempre sale rápidamente. Volveremos próximo día de pago!

When we visited a couple of years I remember the food as being very good. This time around it was OK, but nothing special.The restaurant is upstairs in the pub and run as a separate unit. Initial service was very good with a Thai making very helpful suggestions as we worked our way through the menu. As a result we avoided ordering what would have been too much.We probably made a mistake with the shredded duck starter for both of us. It was rather dry and not up to the standard of most Chinese restaurants. As to the main courses, the red curry was good but the other dish was uninspiring.There are plenty of beers available, both draft and bottled. We chose a wine which was OK but a bit pricy. Towards the end of the meal the service fell away and we had a job getting the bill.I can't say it was bad, and I did get a good Tastecard discount, but I won't be rushing back.

I had an awful meal at the Green dragon, on Sunday 2nd MarchCame at approx 7pm, the pub downstairs was quiet yet still waited for around 5 minutes to be told to go upstairs.Got seated etc, ordered drinks, all OK thus far.The barmaid who brought the drinks up, proceed to spill Guinness all over the table, didn’t clear it up and then said "here's the other drink, I don’t know what it is, I didn’t take your order" and waltzed off. We ordered a Dragon Platter and the Tod Mun Kau Pod (Sweetcorn Fritters). The fritters were extremely dry and looked, tasted and felt like stale biscuits. Dragon platter was all OK apart from the satay chicken, which was under seasoned, dry and had no satay sauce.One main course was OK, a prawn panaeng with rice. Although I am suspicious as to how this was prepared due to the dryness of the sauce around the edge of the bowl (similar to that you get when warming something up in the microwave), but it was mine that really infuriated me.The weeping tiger is supposed to be a succulent piece of sirloin steak, delicately seasoned with Thai spices with a nice kick to it.What turned up was a dry, burnt, shrivelled steak, with not a drop of seasoning (even salt) that had been thrown on top of semi raw white onions. I sent this back immediately and ordered a Thai Red Chicken Curry, which was watery and again the chicken was pale and tasteless. When the waiter delivered this replacement main course, he did not even make an apology on behalf of the chef.I will categorically NEVER EVER return to eat or drink at the Green Dragon – we felt like uninvited guests in someone’s back room.

Visited this pub at 4pm on Saturday 4th January. Nobody serving at the bar! Quickly realised that the barman was outside having a cigarette with who I think might be a waitress. Decided to leave after waiting for 5 minutes. Plenty of nearby alternatives.

We went here for dinner with 6 people. Our evening ended up turning into a scene from a sit-com. We arrived at the resturant unclear where we where supposed to go so we wandered upstairs following the resturant signs. At the top of the stairs we were met by an empty room, some loud house music and a man with a hands free kit. We were told the resturant was closed due to a private party. Confused, we went downstairs to enquire at the bar. What unfolded from here was bizarre.We went back upstairs to the resturant, the private party in the next room involved very loud house music, which increased every time the door opened. The only waitress was unwell and emotional and burst ino tears when we asked what drinks they had. She disappeared and we (and the only other table in the whole restaurant) decided that we were leaving. We discussed our unhappiness with the bar staff but they really couldn't have cared less. On a tip off we went next door to Mozz which was great and helped us salvage the evening! Avoid at all costs due to the bizarre set up, non-existent customer service and unprofessional management (not the waitress; we all have bad days). Can't comment on the food as we didn't make it this far!

I was surprised to read some of the reviews below, as I've now been to this restaurant twice and had an excellent experience on both occasions.My mum was down for the weekend, so I wanted somewhere local, and I booked a table here for 3 of us. There was no problem getting in (it wasn't too busy - just 4 or 5 other tables occupied) at 7ish, and the waitresses were attentive. We ordered mixed starters & chicken satay, which were both good, and then green thai curry & the fish (I can't remember which fish it was - but it was sumptuous!) for mains.The food was top notch - not cheap, but worth it.I'd definitely return, and I'd urge those below to give it another chance.

An hour and a half wait for food! Reason why was because they were very busy in the restaurant up stairs. Don't serve food in the pub if you can't cope with a full restaurant! They don't deserve the business and I won't be returning in a hurry.

I should not have believed it possible that a British pub would not have bitter on tap until I visited the Green Dragon. Lots of lager, the staff were fine and they do good chips, but NO PROPER BEER, Unforgivable!

I had eaten at this pub many times when it was "Jim Thompsons" Thai restaurant. I had always enjoyed the food and the service/ambience. I returned very recently and found that it was under new management. The food was terrible - chicken and beef satays were so tough I could not eat them. The rest of the food was just as bad. My big regret was that I had decided to give this place a try rather than my usual meal at Kampung just down the road. Never again.

Me and my friend who have both grown up in the area all our lives went to Have a drink there on Saturday night (both aged 28). If I'm honest it's probably one of the worst pubs that I've been too. For the following reasons.1. The bar staff don't recognise who is next in line to be served, allowing people to push in and get served before others that have been waiting.2. The pub is far to packed for the amount of staff they have3. The pub seems to attract all of the local filth. Mutton dressed as lamb seems to spring to mind for the girls and spoilt little daddies boys seems to reflect the guys nicely. Both bought together for their love of shiney things and attitude.4. The bar prices are also pretty high (central London Prices). You are looking at about £8.00 for two pints of beer.5. The decor is also looking a bit shabby. As you walk in to the pub you are greeted with a Thai figure head that actually looks like birds have gone to town on its face, or maybe a scene from Pukaki movie.So to sum up, this pubs is aweful!

As a pub , the Green dragon his a local landmark that goes back generations they once had a CAMRA recommendation as I recall. However things have moved on and now you can only get lager served , The pub is more for the younger visitor and to be honest I found it a bit tatty despite being a "themed" interior. I have eaten here a couple of times before and it was acceptable whilst not fantastic. This time it was not good at all. The food was not the best tasting Thai food that I ever had and the service was appalling. The staff themselves were , to be honest , doing their best but it seems that the level of staff doesn't come anywhere near the number required for a higher than average priced pub eatery. One of our meals never arrived and so three of us started before the food that e we had got cold. Eventually one of us went to see where the fourth meal had got to only to be told that the kitchen couldn't actually provide the meal. Heaven knows how long we would have had to wait to be told this had we not enquired ourselves. My guest had to make do with another dish which then arrived , as I say, somewhat late. Ok , so we got a reduced bill and a proper apology from the waiter but like I said, I wouldn't rush back there. I don't really thing that even if the food had been brought out as ordered it would make me change my mind. At best the food doesn't come up to the price.

Very poor food, bad service.nice looking restaurant good if your taste buds are non existent. Am writing this whilst sitting in restaurant wish i could add pictures.

The Green Dragon is a big pub with lovely outside area. My partner wanted a relaxed "do" for his 40th, where his family and friends could hang out and celebrate with him. The manager, Martin, arranged a decent inside and outside section of the pub, which didn't cost anything to hire. It meant though that we could have our own dedicated bit of bar and a tab which would be safe from other customers, plenty of room to sit and for the kids to draw and play, our own toilets, and seating whether it was sunny or raining. We were able to decorate the venue beforehand and they stored our cake and brought it out later with candles lit. Martin also arranged for a BBQ, with a member of staff to cook it for us and clear up. The bar had music, but Martin also made an iPod dock available so we could have our own music too if we wanted.My partner said it was the perfect party and we all had a brilliant day, so I would recommend it!!
