The George and Dragon in Cheshire West and Chester

Beautiful place and I love the smell inside

Lovely old traditional pub with friendly staff & good beer.

Great Sunday roast, worth the drive

Perfect for a dog walk and for us, a Sunday lunch. We booked ahead which was lucky as the pub was packed. Food was good pub food and dogs were welcome in the front bar/restaurant. What made our visit was that as we were leaving the landlord made a point of having a lovely chat with us, apologising he’d not had time to say hello and just really introduced himself. We’ll be back.

Our favourite pub when we visit the area which is regularly. Always a warm welcome whether we eat or enjoy a drink on a sunny day overlooking the church !

Lovely surroundings, OK food, OK beer, shame about the service. Waited 20 minutes for a single pint today without being acknowledged by the barman. There was only one othe person at the bar. Bar/Food servers need training. That kind of wait is not OK.

Beautiful village. Stunning church. Great History. Birthday lunch. 5 adults. Liver onions mashed potato. Soup and sandwich. Curry. Burger. Steak. Wine Drinks coffees sweets. £135.00. Fantastic meal. Lovely hot well presented menu. Will be back.

food fantastic beer delightful 😊 ☺️

Really friendly staff make you feel really welcome and pet friendly too

Visited here on numerous occasions and never been disappointed. Unfortunately our last visit was not the usual good experience. The restaurant was mostly empty on a Saturday night and no one came in after us . The waiting staff were slow in taking our order and when the food arrived was definitely not up to the usual standard. We both had fish and chips....the fish was overcooked and the chips were hard and more like a small crisp . No we didn't complain as it was a special occasion and didn't want the fuss but would think twice about returning.

Didn't get in wasn't offered any other options

This is our goto saturday night place for dinner after a busy week what a place to go to Food always spot on the beers are finevand the staff give amazing service with a genuine smile 10out of 10 !

as usual the chef was up to scratch, a lovely meal, served with a smile, plus our 2 dogs made so very welcome, but a little bemused as to the recent comment about the Ladies Room having a smell, I have been using the George and Dragon for over 18 months, and never found any faults. BUT the building is very ,very old 1722, and used by many walkers, especially in the warm months,so maybe the writer had visited on a warm Summer day.

Recently visited on a Friday lunchtime with my elderly aunt and wife. The food is good wholesome food. My wife had corned beef hash and I had sliced beef on a roll with gravy and chips. For sweets it was apple tart and custard and sticky toffee pudding with custard. The service was very good even though it was busy and the atmosphere is also very good with prices that wont break the bank. Found within a lovely picturesque village the George & Dragon needs to be good otherwise it would not exist. Give it go you will not be disappointed.

Had a lovely 'pub butty'. - Excellent.

Excellent pub restaurant, excellent food, and service staff very friendly, beautiful location

My wife and I had lunch yesterday 12 September. The food was fine, but towards the end, a couple came in with 2 dogs. Despite them being shown the area where dogs are allowed, they sat next to myself and my wife while we were eating. One dog was on the floor next to me, the other was allowed to sit on the chair with its owners. I find this extremely unhygienic, if it wasn’t for the fact that we had nearly finished our meal I would have asked to be seated elsewhere.

Ham and egg salad was a lovely light lunch, sat outside in the sun with the view of the beautiful village. Will be back!

Idyllic setting with good food but let down by the cleanliness standards. I don’t think I have ever before entered a ladies toilet which smells as bad as this does. It smells strongly of old stale urine. I had to double check that I hadn’t entered the gents in error! The whole pub does not smell fresh or clean. The floor outside needed sweeping and the tables needed wiping. It was as though they weren’t ready for customers. The hanging baskets had just been watered leaving the front steps dangerously slippery. I enjoyed my lunch but the cleanliness needs addressing.

Like pubs of old, locals and visitors are all in there, a lovely atmosphere.

lovely sunday lunch nice deserts friendly quick service but beware the lunch gigantic....would be better if they offered a small version 👍

Fabulous food . Fabulous pub all round

Wow. Great HOMEMADE food! Went for lunch. Fantastic taste, great portions, great prices!! Will definitely be returning.

Just had a beer in the sun. Fantastic

We took a trip out to this lovely village as we were in the area and I used to drink here many years ago. Stone plaque built into the wall inside 'Nil Nimium Cupito' 1722. It was early and we had a cuppa outside. They'd not been open long and we didn't feel the owners/ barman was in the mood for conversation. Lovely spot, I'd like to come back here to dine, feels like a real winter pub.

Me and my fiancée moved nearby. Wanted to try this place. We lived it. Cosy , quaint and the food and service was great. Made to feel welcome by bar dude and waitress. Although we wanted two portions of chips at the bar, we were given loads. Loved it. Can't wait to eat in the restaurant this weekend which looks bigger.

Loved this pub a great stop when travelling north on the M6. Gorgeous village too

Very quaint building (1733?) in a lovely Village. We travelled there for my belated Birthday present. He had Mussels, I had Pate to start. Both fine. The mains however were disappointing. The Fish pie was ‘sloppy’ and the Stroganoff was tasteless? Service was ‘formal’.

Lovely pub in a picturesque village! Good food, good service!

Quintessential British pub set in a Harry Potter type film set. Had a superb Sunday roast, one of the best we have had for a very long while. Will be back on our next visit to Marbury Country Park.

We had the Sunday Roast with Sirlion Beef and had desserts afterward really good the berry crumble is not on the menu anymore the best desserts were apple tart and chocolate cake

Food was okay, it was quite busy but the decor looks like it could do with a refresh.

Very nice pub in a small English village. We recommend.

Wow!! We had a Sunday dinner it was the best!! The restaurant was very busy, good atmosphere. Amazing staff and service. Really recommend this place food just perfect!! Looking forward to our next visit 😀

Lamb over cooked,fish soggy. Short of front of house staff

Great old pub with high-quality food in an idyllic village

Such a lovely gem in a beautiful village. Lovely building, some well preserved features inside and a lovely atmosphere. Welcoming villagers and good variety of drinks: coffee as well as beers and spirits. Food beautifully presented, and tasted good. Can't fault the place. Will definitely return again if in area.

Outside table dirty. Had to ask waitress to clean it who tried to wipe it with a dry cloth and some spray. Ordered drink at bar and had to pay for drinks seperate to food order. Food order was taken by the waitress at the bar and paid for af the till via another staff member. Food average at best. Chips cold, salad not fresh and toastie greasy. Very dissapointing.

Visited here on BH Monday evening for a meal. What a lovely hotel/pub. Friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere. The food was really, really good. Freshly prepared, fresh ingredients, hot, great chips and be warned, large portions. We had gammon, and liver and onions. We'll be back!

Great old pub in a very pretty village. Friendly service good cask ales at great prices and a perfect Guinness pour. We didn’t have food but it looked amazing.

Booked an early evening meal for two adults. Friendly welcome by staff. Good choices on menu at reasonable prices. Very tasty and decent portions. Good atmosphere. Well worth a return visit,.

Amazing food with a great deal of choice on the menu and the puddings are gorgeous. Fabulous surroundings and great staff. Can’t wait to come again.

After taking a walk round this beautiful village ! Sit down and enjoy an amazing meal ! Opposite the church what a view ! In side is beautiful I would book to get seats as it’s busy ! We sat outside watching the village go by ! The staff are amazing 10/10 service ! Have a cheeky pint or cider or even gin & tonic ! You Perseco lovers !

The food,service, atmosphere and location is outstanding. Definitely will be visiting again soon. Highly recommended the specials ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely lovely pub, the service, quality of food and atmosphere was excellent.situated in a beautiful village. We will definitely be returning again.

Beautiful pub in beautiful village

Beautiful authentic old pub with lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and great pub food. Highly recommend in a picturesque village

One of the nicest steak pies I’ve ever had, absolutely packed with meat and the pastry had that traditional homemade taste. The ice cream was from a local farm shop apparently, it tasted a lot nicer than standard ice cream, it was really creamy and full of flavour.

We can't fault this place, although the atmosphere was a bit difficult to score, as it was a quiet time when we went, so not a lot of people in. But it did seem brilliant.

Booked a table on a friend's recommendation. Wasn't disappointed, food was amazing freshly cooked, team members were really friendly, very busy but didn't affect service. will definitely be back very soon. Highly recommend

Excellent location for lunch. Despite it being very busy, we had prompt and friendly service.

We really enjoyed our food here and the staff are lovely. We had the roasts and for desserts Apple tarts, sticky toffee pudding, and a Sundae. I'd recommend booking, we really liked our table too, felt like it was a bit private.

Great meal tonight food was amazing and staff could not do enough, will be back soon

Tonight we were served by a beautiful young soul called Courtney what a fantastic young lady. She will go far in life So warm and welcoming and as I scanned the room I noticed her keeping an eye on the tables so as to always make sure people were tended too. All the staff here are lovely and the food was exquisite as always. 10 stars on service, atmosphere, and food. Thank you Paul for the cheeky mints.

Very slow service, had to wait over 30 minutes after ordering for food to be brought out to us

Wonderful country pub that hasn't lost its charm like lots of other pubs these days. Staff were very helpful and polite, and food was fast, hot and tasty. Recommend trying this pub.

Four of us went to this lovely pub for a sunday roast and it was delicious.I can honestly say that the roast sirloin beef dinner was amazing(one of the best i have ever had) and would highly recommend a visit.All four of us were made up with the food/service and lovely staff. thanks once again

Excellent food and fantastic service. Been twice in last few months and they are best meals out I’ve had in ages. Staff couldn’t do enough for us- waitresses and managers lovely people especially Angela who went above and beyond to look after us. Highly recommend this place.

First visit for us but recomended by our fellow guests. I couldn''t rate the George and Dragon more highly. Staff were plentiful, attentive and lovely. Our food arrived quickly and was hot and delicious.

Really beautiful place, nestled on the hill. Great budworth,

Thank you for a wonderful mother's day Sunday dinner, without fount the best we have ever had anywhere. And thanks to Angela for cheerful efficient service.

Decided to go a little bit further to try a new establishment for a weekday lunch with the better half. The George and Dragon did not disappoint. Friendly service, and some tantalising dishes on the menu which made ordering difficult, having to whittle it down. The Tempura Vegetables and Crispy Chilli Beef with Pilau Rice were both impressive starters. The Chicken and Ham pie off the specials menu was sublime. The best or I think I've ever had. The fish and chips were equally delicious according to the better half. Definitely a place we will be returning too.....if only for another one of those stunning pies.

The first meal here, and it won't be the last Absolutely beautiful place, A must visit if your in the area. Lovely place and lovely staff

A village pub with great character and class, with a small car park to the rear and some outside seating too. We chose to eat in the bar area. However, further back, there is the option to sit in the dining section, which did look very inviting. There is a sign to say well-behaved dogs welcome on leads in the bar, which is great, so we will certainly visit again with ours! The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We were only inside for moments and were warmly treated and shown to our seats. The food was delicious. We weren't adventurous and just had the burger and chips. However, the photo does not do it justice, neither of us could finish the meal, it was freshly cooked with a reasonable waiting time, the food was of a good quality, tasty and filling, to the point we just couldn't face a pudding so a return trip is a must! It's such a shame that more villages don't have such a unique and valuable asset for the locals. Great budworth is very fortunate to have the George and Dragon!

Chips mmm very few soggy, flaccid and not I would call chips. Very disappointed tbh, won't eat there again, I was in a party of three so I can't speak for them. We did decide not to come back.

A beautiful pub inside and out situated in the picturesque villahe of Great Budsworth - serving tasty food including a few vegan options. We noticed the printed menu did not include them, but ask at the bar or look online. We had the vegetable Wellington with vegan gravy, chips and veggies. There are also a couple of vegan dessert options!!

We were a party of 16 and we were well looked after by the staff and the food was first class , all food was served at the same time , we will definitely be coming back to the George & Dragon soon

Best place to eat in the area, dogs welcome, people friendly

Beautiful pub in a lovely area. Food was mouthwatering and service was excellent. Really enjoyed our visit and definitely will be back.

Have been going for years new management and staff great phill landlord Paul and Ann Marie and the team would highly recommend vic and liz

Beautiful food an staff are amazing thanks for a great meal an excellent service

Nice food ,decent service £2.95 for a glass of water with a dash of lime.

Enjoyed a very nice traditional Sunday lunch here, good quality ingredients and plenty of it. Nice friendly service too. I would highly recommend this place.

The pub is situated in a very pretty village and our experience was good. All four enjoyed their meal. They catered for a gluten free member of our party, although service was a little slow. Recommended

Lovely meal and very pleasant staff highly recommended 👍

2nd visit food great service very good..toilets drains are awful..smell was horrible in men's

We stopped off here after an exploration of the most beautiful village as I have ancestry here going back to the domesday book. The staff are lovely, as are the locals and there was a roaring fire that thaws the soul

A wonderful Cheshire hotel. A brilliant place to dine - excellent food in traditional surroundings, excellent service in a great atmosphere.

Lovely atmosphere. Fantastic food.

The service was extremely slow. The waitress blamed us for her getting the order wrong. Generally not a great experience.

Fabulous Sunday lunch! The best roast around! Always looked after and friendly staff. Cosy even for a drink with the fire lit. We will definitely be back.

Lovely old pub. Well looked after by the staff. Food was excellent.

Just went in for a drink but will try and book there soon xxx

We came here with friends for a Christmas night out, it was the best Christmas meal we've ever eaten, we have decided to come back in the summer and again next Christmas time. There is a dog friendly area inside too. We would come more often but it is quite a way from home for us. The atmosphere was great and the service was excellent.

Wonderful meal today. Lovely pub with great food. Full marks.

Very nice food, very nice environment. Staff were lovely but a bit slow. But I understand that they were low on staff and it was very busy. Would recommend👍

If you think about a country pub - this is it! Fantastic place, lovely beers and extremely homely.

We had a really nice meal with the family. I think the lady who looked after our table was called Angela. She was so friendly and accommodating! Thanks again!

Went here for a lunchtime meal. Excellent food, the lamb rump was very special, excellent beer and excellent service. We'll definitely be back.

Food and football with the boys. Burger and chips Amazing staff today. I will be coming back asap.

So prettily decorated for Christmas, with a roaring fire and lovely atmosphere. The smell of gorgeous home cooked food as you enter! Welcoming and helpful staff. We both had open sandwiches with hot beef and red onion - so tasty and fresh! Also chips, which were perfect for me, and the usual small pub salad. We sat outside with our dog in the sunshine, because there were no dog-friendly seats available inside (we hadn't booked). Although the pub was very busy the service was speedy and pleasant. The toilets were spotless, which for me is an indication of a hygenic kitchen! Woud definitely go again, thank you.

Beautifully decorated for Christmas and very friendly staff. Roast Sunday meal was the best we have had in years snd served piping hot. A really lovely experience. Highly recommend.

Such a cosy place for christmas, came here with my family and we all had the turkey and it was beautiful and so tender mmmmm! overall was fantastic x

The George and Dragon catered for the wake after my father’s funeral. There were 150 of us and Ann Marie and her staff laid on a fabulous buffet. The cosy atmosphere and the roaring fire warmed our hearts after the church service. This is a pub definitely on the up. We have also had lunch at the pub before and after the funeral and each time, the food has been top drawer. The beef pie is a hit in our family!

We came here for our Christmas Meal after coming a few weeks ago for Sunday Lunch. Once again we wasn’t disappointed, it was a fantastic meal, nice and hot, food was spot on! We had a 3 course meal and each course was delicious. Great portion sizes compared to other pubs we have visited in the area, will definitely be coming back in the future!

Pre-booked a table for two on a Sunday evening (5:45pm), arrived about 20mins early and were able to find a parking space (as others have mentioned this is very tight). Despite arriving early we were shown straight to our table. They were very busy as you would expect at this time on a Sunday at a pub that's famous for their Sunday roasts. It took about 15 mins to order drinks and we used that opportunity to order food too as we course the staff were very busy. They didn't have any of one of the starters we ordered (baked camembert) but suggested some alternatives duck bon bons. Despite how busy they were the starters (2 x portions of the duck bon bons) arrived promptly, it did take some time for our plates to be cleared but as mentioned the staff were rushed off our feet. Our main courses arrived hot and nicely presented (2 x 14 hour braised beef and ale pie) and they were delicious and good portions. We did order another round of drinks last way through the main course but these never arrived, again I think due to how busy they were (we were not charged for these drinks). Really nice atmosphere, lots of people enjoying themselves, nice and warm with log fires going and decorated festively.

Quaint historical hotel in a unique Cheshire village.

Amazing food and great staff Managed to fit us in last minute Definitely recommend Going again soon

My Partner and I had a lovely 3 course meal. The staff were so friendly and accommodating and delivered a fantastic service throughout our meal. The food was DELICIOUS! We felt that the menu had a great choice and it was really good value for money. We really enjoyed the cosy atmosphere that the pub offers too! We will definitely be returning and will recommend to our friends and family!

Excellent roast beef on a Sunday Wholesome hearty home cooked food served with a lovely smile Thai is the real deal Will Definitely be coming back
