Saint George and Dragon Inn in Exeter - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Visited again for lunch, service was lovely by Farrah. Pate was excellent as was the chicken schnitzel. The wife had garlic mushrooms and a curry which she was great.

Going downhill and fast. Used to be a real nice place but standards have slipped and the management team are substandard. Staff look overworked and hardly any staff. Food has slightly improved since my last visit but still substandard food that feels microwaved when hot on the outside and cold in the middle. Head office need to have a look at this failing business and see how badly it has fallen over the past year.

Absolutely fantastic staff , definitely recommend a visit, food fabulous. Tia and Tracy made us so welcome, food was fabulous.

Delicious roast followed by an apple & blackberry crumble with hot creamy custard! Shout out to Tracey our waitress for fab service :) Will definitely be back again for dinner soon!

Booking: The initial booking went well, but amendments to the booking were ignored. On the morning of the visit I tried to amend the booking. I completed the online form which brought no response. I phoned the number on the website and was put through to the pub, but no one answered. I left a voicemail but no one returned my call. Despite having specified a dog friendly table on the initial booking I received a text on the morning of my visit asking if we were taking a dog. I was unable to respond (see above). Service: Clearly my messages had not got through to the person allocated to seat us. I explained the difficulties I had experienced but received no apology. We were left standing around until a table was finally found for us. We ordered drinks but I had to chase them up at the bar having waited for about half an hour. We were told that there was no draught ale as it was 'settling'. Having run a pub in the past, I know that this can only be due to poor management. Food: The food was acceptable.

Tracey was a really nice server. Food was lovely and very good service. Food was quickly served even when it was busy. :))

This is a great friendly pub with good food and service. A special word for Tracey who served us and made us feel very welcome

Loved the atmosphere, Tracey really looked after us both at check in and dinner , very friendly very hard working and efficient. We love it here will stay again.

I spent one night at the George and Dragon in a twin room. The room was located on the ground floor with easy access to the car park. The room was clean and well appointed. The only slight issue was that the window latch was broken meaning it was not that secure but it did not detract from the stay. Flat screen TV, hair dryer, tea/coffee facilities, lots of chargers and free Wifi. Would definitely stay again,

We were shown to our table. We asked about the gluten free options, as the printed menu had no information. We were shown the tablet wth the onion app. Unfortunately this was not up to date. When the drinks arrived we requested to speak to the person in charge. We were told the person would come and talk to us. This never happened. When the food arrived two meals were cold. This was dealt with quickly and it did come back hot , and it was explained that it had been reheated. The food was average at best. When we explained to the person serving us that we had asked if we could speak to the person in charge but the person didn't come. We were told that if we had asked them , the person would have come. But again no attempt to rectify the situation. Maybe vintage inn should reassess their menu labelling to include G/F as this seems to be the case in many hospitality venues.

Went to G&D this evening and was amazing staff and food, I had the Mac and Cheese and was outstanding for such a standard dish this was really up levelled with bacon and beef brisket! Have to give a great thank you to the Chef Paul who even came out for me to thank in person! Really shows his care and passion into the food he puts out for us. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning in the future!

Outstanding in every way, highly recommended, lovely rooms and pub, staff excellent, stayed overnight so enjoyed dinner and breakfast whilst sleeping in a comfy bed, loved it

An excellent place to stay. Good location - it even has a bus stop outside - very comfortable room; attentive and friendly staff; good food and a well thought out menu. St Austell beer. The best place we’ve stayed in for ages and we hope to go back.

What a lovely evening, Tracey looked after us so well, such a character, 5 *****, great food and beer 🍻 , good value. We will Return. Tx

We ate dinner here to celebrate the birthday of my late father-in-law. Tracey served us. She looked after us so well. She was really friendly and very warm with us. We really appreciated all her attention. Thank you Tracey 👍😀

It was a birthday event. The food was excellent. Two of us had sirloin steaks and they were cooked to perfection. We were looked after by Tracey. What a fantastic waitress she is! She has a great sense of humour and made sure we were satisfied with our food and drinks. We look forward to visiting again soon. We'll done St George and Dragon!

We have just enjoyed lunch, having last visited some 40 years ago! We were greeted and well looked after throughout by all staff but particularly Tracey whose good humour and professionalism make her a real asset to the pub - what a star! The restaurant is airy, but at the same time cosy, and the food didn't disappoint: we enjoyed pizzas and burgers, all of which were tasty and well presented. We'll be back but won't leave it so long next time!

We stopped here for lunch on the way to (and back from) Exmouth - that's how much we enjoyed our meals; we went back! Great service from Tracey and another lady who didn't give us her name. The food was very good and plentiful.

Visited mid week with a friend for a catch up over food. The food was lovely, as always. Our server for the evening, Tracey, was really friendly and polite too. She didn’t both us too much when chatting but was always on hand when needed.

We enjoyed our time at St George & Dragon and what made it special was our fantastic waitress Tracey! Tracey went above and beyond to make our time here very special and entertaining with olives and tomato ketchup in abundance!!!!! Thank you for working so hard Tracey, we loved you!!! The Ponds xx

Went in for dinner with family. Seated quickly and staff were great. Lovely atmosphere and food was very tasty and reasonably priced. Would recommend

lovely cosy atmosphere and fantastic food, we were served by Tracy who was very helpful and very funny Tracy certainly added to the whole experience will certainly be going back soon.

Three old friends out for a simple lunch. One of us has severe mobility difficulties, but we were so well looked after by Tracey from the moment we arrived to the moment we left we forgot all about it and just had a lovely time. Good food and excellent service. Thank you Tracey!

Very friendly and quick service from all staff. Tracey was our server and took good care of us. Would recommend.l as it’s good easy food, large free car park and nicely decorated throughout for a cosy pub feel.

We came for lunch today, a table of 3 and was really pleased with the quality of food and service! The lovely lady who served us was very attentive, friendly, smiley and couldn’t do any more. My Nan struggles with using her own cup and they made her coffee in the mug we brought from home. We’ll be back again! Thank you!

Poor service.Cold food.Inedible steak.If we were not with friends who had suggested we would have sent it all back and walked out.

We Were Invited To Our Friends Ruby Wedding Anniversary. The Roast Dinner Was Plentiful And Delicious. A Lovely Selection Of Desserts. The Staff Were Very Efficient. Lisa Our Waitress Was Very Bubbly And Friendly A Good Time Was Had By All

Been coming here for many years and the standard of food and the hospitality has always been great..Thank you for a lovely meal.

We had another excellent lunch today at the St George and Dragon. Tasty food cooked well and good value for money. Friendly staff.

Lovely pub very friendly staff with a lovely welcome when we came through the door, enjoyed our food I had the sea bass, the chicken salad amazing to,loved the lemon tart for my pudding

We have a long standing booking ahead of rugby matches for a group of 6 and the pub we used until recently let us down badly this season. Everyone was impressed with the menu, food was tasty and plentiful. The staff were helpful, polite and contentious, particularly mention to Zoe who kept everything ticking along through the meal. All are looking forward to our next visit in a couple of weeks!

Couldn’t get the table we booked. Very long delays throughout, ordering chaotic, food cold, side arrived after I had finished my main. Disappointed with the Macaroni Cheese (primarily the lack of it). Bill wrong & I missed the added ‘10% service charge’ which I would have certainly not wanted to pay. Thankfully we did not leave a tip. Would not recommend!

When we arrived there was a queue but this was dealt with quickly and efficiently. We were seated and looked after for the evening by Charlie, he was friendly, attentive and professional. Very rare to find these days. The other chap delivering the food was also very professional. The food came out in a timely manner even though the restaurant was busy and it was all delicious. We all approved of the new menu.

Booked a table for 6 for 3.15pm for Mother’s Day lunch. Had a call the day before asking if they could change our table to 3.30pm as they had overbooked. As we arrived for 3.30pm the table was still not ready for a further ten minutes. Service to the table was extremely slow, no one checked throughout the time we were there if everything was ok. Seems they were extremely understaffed for what is known to be a busy day. Clearing plates between courses was extremely slow which added to an already prolonged lunch. Overall, food was alright - nothing to rave about. One member of our party ordered the banoffee pie for desert which was sent back to the kitchen as it came out solid and with burnt banana. Won’t be going back in a rush.

Good food, served quickly. Very good service throughout our visit. Welcoming and professional staff.

What a shambles from start to finish on what was supposed to be a special night. Ordered food only to be told some 25 minutes later that 2 out of our 4 main courses were not available. Starters were OK if not rather small for the price and the main courses looked like child’s portions with a side of Mac n Cheese barely filling half the ramekin dish it came, literally a fork full for the two of us sharing and at £2.95 a complete rip off. Puddings were obviously forgotten about as they came out after we enquired what the delay was with a thick skin on the custard and stone cold. All in all a very poor experience and with little apology from the staff who really seamed more bothered about chatting to one another. Obviously won’t be visiting again.

£16.50 for cold broccoli, undercooked potatoes, and 2 baked up fish cakes, which you would expect to buy from Tesco! The portion wouldn't feed a 3 year old! After complaining we were given a free cup of coffee! The service here was excellent, but the food was a disgrace! Never again!

Called on the off chance. Great service great food thoroughly recommended for anyone passing. Will be coming back soon

The place is a lovely, friendly and well organised resteraunt, the food was delicious and fairly priced and the lady who served me "Emily" was absolutely fantastic and a true credit to the company! Food was faster served by her and she is one of the friendliest, down to earth, bubbly and pofessional people I have ever met! An embassodor to the business! 5 stars all round!

Visited with grandchildren for Sunday lunch, busy but not full, v friendly and efficient waitress, plenty of choice for children and adults on menu, we ate excellent lamb and turkey with lots of extras, sadly veggies were undercooked and crunchy, lovely puds. We had a lovely lunch, many thanks, we will return.

The last time we came here was years ago as we didn't enjoy the food then. But it's much improved since last time! We had a really good visit this time, atmosphere lovely and cosy and relaxing. Our waitress was lovely and smiley and friendly....

Went for a birthday celebration. Lovely atmosphere and food. Great, smiley service. Thoroughly recommend. Will be returning soon.

Really nice food and choice! Staff great, served by Zoe. All managed our meal great even with a busy wedding party in too.

First ti. e I've been to the St George & Dragon, but was really impressed by the food and friendly service by the staff, particularly Zoe, she was very helpful. We had the crispy sticky chicken starter which was better IMHO than TGI's.

Awesome food, service and atmosphere. Loved tonight. Price was irrelevant!!! Would come again. I live local and can’t believe I have not been here before. Great place. Will come again. 😊

Great food, great location. Stopping for the umpteenth time to keep ourselves sane over the winter months. Will be back soon!

What an amazing friendly, comfortable safe space. The food choice and food itself was amazing. The staff are very friendly and very accommodating. Definitely a place to return again.

I love coming here for brunch. A really good diverse menu for brunch. Gorgeous building and decor. Lunch is great too btw! Really kind and helpful staff. I was here in November with fellow cancer patients and they kindly put us in a quiet section...

Food was excellent. Service with a smile by Lisa, a very pleasant experience. We'll be back again as we're never disappointed. Very impressed they do gluten free gravy.

Lovely staff, well catered for by Emily and Lisa, lots of vegetarian options. Had a nice Sunday roast which was good value. Definitely coming back

Delicious Sunday lunch, served with hearty portions of meat, fresh veg & lashings of gravy. Some great vegetarian options too. Relaxed atmosphere, very friendly attentive staff, particularly the lovely Lisa. Great value. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

From the moment we entered, the warm greeting and great welcome really set the course for our lunch. The waitress Emily, was courteous and friendly making our experience lovely. This on top of the wonderful food, made the time here a really great experience.

This was a great venue for a family meet up, which was equidistant for both parties. Excellent food, first rate and very friendly service and we thoroughly recommend it. We will definitely be returning.

The food was lovely as always! The service was quick, we felt like nothing was too much to ask from the waitresses who went above and beyond.

This is a nice pub, but is clearly part of a chain. The food was ok, but the service let it down. Stood at the bar for 10 minutes before anyone came to serve us. Our waitress was very good, but clearly she had too...

Nice venue let down by absolutely terrible management. Prebooked our Christmas meal for 7 over a month ago using their (clearly broken) online system. Didn't work so phoned - after about 5 phone calls with a very dismissive and rude member of staff (I believe...

A table of 6 were unimpressed by the lack of atmosphere, no one in charge of staff who seemed distracted and not really suited to hospitality.The first courses on the Festive menu were good but the mains were poorly presented with an emphasis on quantity...

Shocking staff stood on phones, then when ordered taken the bloke with a beard was stood looking at my wife’s cleavage. Food was okay staff shocking…

I visited the pub yesterday, and it exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere was cozy, with dim lighting creating a relaxed vibe. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure we felt welcomed. The young blonde waitress in particular was amazing and really made the experience...

LOVELY OLD PUB WITH REALLY HELPFUL, FRIENDLY STAFF. BREAKFAST CRACKING. ROOMS REALLY CLEAN AND GENEROUS SIZE - AND THERE IS A BIG CAR PARK!!

To keep it short, service abysmal, food terrible, did not think a restaurant could be that bad, but it was.

Went here with friends for a festive meal , ordered the scallops and goats cheese tart , which was very nice . The turkey dinner was another story ! The best thing on the plate was the meat and pigs in blankets, the potatoes were...

A fantastic meal with a large group of people. We came for the festive menu with a booking for 21, the orders were taken and the food came out from the kitchen quickly and hot. We had a range of starters, mains and desserts as...

Lovely old english pub. Much larger than you expect, with lots of different areas surrounded by beams. Good home cooking. Lovely breakfast. Very clean. Comfy beds, lovely ensuite. Plenty of parking spaces. Easy reach for Sandy Park, or the City Centre. No phones in room. Pay as you go with all food and beverages.

Food and service is really good but the restaurant, the design and all details are amazing. I couldn’t stop walking around to see every corner. Really nice place, clean, cozy and welcome.

3 of us popped in for some food about 4.30 and placed an order for drinks and food. The food took a while, but that was ok. The veg with the chicken pie was awful, cold brussels, tough dry cabbage and carrots which were shrivelled up. We ordered puddings and these were ok but the service was very slow. It was cheap and you get what you pay for I suppose

It was a surprise family evening gathering and was treated for my 60th Birthday before the wife and I went to Paris.The atmosphere was warming and welcoming. The staff were great & helpful and the food was very tasty.
