The George and Dragon in Wiltshire

NOT OPEN till 5 on Fridays, please alter your online opening times. Walked over 5 miles to find your CLOSED

A friendly traditional pub which keeps its beers in superb condition. I had the well priced Sunday roast from the carvery which was excellent as was the spiced bread and butter pudding. The wines on offer are limited but the Pinotage I had was good. As there are not a lot of tables I recommend booking. Excellent value and quality.

Great home cooked food and a friendly welcome… a little gem of a pub

Nice Pun, nice food and nice people

A beautiful Sunday lunch, great carvery, vegetarian options greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Excellent hosts,the incredibly kind land lady asked if my dad was ok, just a genuine token. To be fair, we expected a more expantive menu choice, but totally understand the challenges since COVID in terms of running any sort of hospitality business.

This buzzy and very friendly pub was very busy for Sunday lunch including a large table of the team behind the village panto who were celebrating another success. On a Sunday there is a great value carvery with a choice of meats and a vegetarian option. Great value and great service . Booking recommended as can get very busy.

Last minute decision to eat out tonight. Lovely and warm with the burner keeping everyone snug. Full tables so lucky to get a free one. We both opted for steak and chips which came with peas, tomato, mushrooms and onion rings plus a large portion of chips. The steak was perfectly cooked and very tender and exceptional value. We will certainly have this again. Looking forward to another visit soon and try the fish and chips as this looked delicious when we saw if delivered to another table. Happy to recommend

Great atmosphere, with very good food. Advisable

Good people, very good atmosphere and good food.

Really great place, also good local taxi. Visited it 4 years ago. Be careful leaving! The stairs are there. Wonderful experience

Excellent food, atmosphere, and service

This pub has it all with loads of history, character and of course great food and beer. Nigel and Lorraine are outstanding hosts!

Bizarre signing up to run a pub and then not bothering to open the hours advertised? The village community deserves better.

Had a lovely Sunday lunchtime carvery with the family. Very friendly and the food was great. Very quiet which is a great shame that such a lovely pub isn't better supported.

What a shame, this pub was so welcoming and inviting with the previous landlord. This time it was cold no atmosphere and as a previous review stated, felt as if it was closing down. I have used this pub for years when return home to see Mum. Will not be returning in a hurry.

It is frustrating that this village pub has great potential, but the complete apathy by the landlord ensures that customers are put off. It felt like the pub was in the process of closing down. No atmosphere, unwelcoming and we felt like we should apologise for actually wishing to spend money in the village. Surely Wadworth’s can do better than this.

We chose the George and Dragon for convenience. We were not disappointed, the accommodation was ideal, the food was ideal and the friendly atmosphere was extremely good.

Nigel and Lorraine hosted our Morris dancing team for the evening and we loved it. Great food, excellent selection of drinks and very generous hosts. Hopefully we can make the time to come back again!

Lovely sunday carvery, Friendly landlord and staff well worth a visit.

Wonderful experience good food and nice people

Lovely food, good portions,fair prices and friendly service, thanks.

3 of us had a superb Sunday roast. The carvery had freshly made vegetables with roast potatoes and parsnips freshly roasted . The choice was beef pork or Turkey,, and we all went for the pork which was excellent. The service was efficient and friendly. The land Lord serves the roast and then made a point of checking with us what we thought. Great to see during these difficult times such a friendly well run village pub offering excellent food, drink, atmosphere and service.

Fantastic Pub great Landlord and such lovely staff. Had Sunday Lunch and was cooked to perfection. I only live a few doors away am so glad this Pub is on my doorstep.

Lovely quaint village pub. Good food and ales. Friendly staff, even the pub dog is super friendy and welcoming

Terrible Sunday lunch. Meat was stewed, grey and inedible.

We went for Sunday Carvery which was not good at all. However, because this is my friend's local pub I did not leave a review. But now I have heard the disgusting behaviour my friend suffered at the hands of the Landlord/Chef I have decided that I will write the review. My friend was looking forward to trying Sunday lunch at her new local pub. We had a mixed meat roast. All the meat was paper thin and did not look appetising at all, the beef was grey. We gave all the meat to our dog. The veg, however, was OK. We then ordered cheese board to share as we were still hungry. It was a good selection of cheeses. I asked for butter. But the waitress brought a pot of margarine!! So we sent it back asking for butter. The waitress then came back with a message from the chef saying it was not margarine, but soft butter. We could not believe our ears!! I live in Brittany, which is the home of butter so I know what I am talking about and THAT WAS NOT BUTTER!! We both felt insulted that he had tried to fob us off like that. We eventually did get some butter but begrudgingly and with attitude. The landlord/chef clearly has an attitude problem towards customers. As confirmed by the awful way he spoke to my friend yesterday. He actually said that she was 'rude' to his wife regarding the margarine fiasco. She was NOT rude, merely complaing and justifiably so. But clearly this man is so arrogant that he refuses to accept complaints and even blames the customer instead!!

Pretty cool old pub, very old infact... Good food and well priced with a selection off beers/ spirits and hand pumped ales. Would happily go back for dinner and drinks.

Thought we'd try the pub for a meal as hadn't been for a while, tho we knew it had changed ownership. We shouldn't of bothered. Not sure how long they had been trading but it's not good. The pub was dirty and I don't mean just a bit of dust. Tables sticky, cobwebs in the window sill and the toilets need a dam good clean. I ordered the pie, mash and veg. The pie certainly wasn't home made and enough mash on my plate for 3 people, tho not bad for £11. I suppose they are trying their best. As much as I love dogs I don't think that it's appropriate to have the landlords dog wandering around when you are eating. Shame.

Amazing old pub. Beautiful original decor, lovely pint and lovely chat with the barmaid.

Old pub with friendly staff. Pub didn't open when advertised (please update on Google if you're gonna change the time!). No Guinness on tap, which is a shame

Nice beer and wine choices. The place good so with some attention outside would be nice. Still worth a visit.

4 of us dined here sat 13th August food was excellent, staff very friendly especially the cheeky one service very good . Garden little pods lovely and even gave us a lift back to our hotel, exceptional

Was going to a local wedding and needed to put our dresses on , while in another village we was talking to a lady who said , go in the George and Dragon lovely people , they will let you , we ordered a couple of pots of tea for our husbands who sat in a lovely court yard , and the bar lady could not of been more helpful and said we could change in there ,

Saw that it had reopened under new management and thought we would give it a try. We were really pleased with the decision. Staff were really helpful and friendly. They took the time to talk to us. The food was excellent and substantial portions. We both had gammon,followed by cheesecake and bread and butter pudding. AMAZING. I didn't want anything else to eat all day. Special offer on Thursday, Friday and Saturday lunch,£14 for 2 meals and sweets were £3. Great value. We will definitely be doing this again.

Food was average, service friendly prices reasonable, very old fashioned establishment

Loving our local pub. Nice events to meet the friendly community. Food is great too

The manager Tony Tequila is a lovely guy and his food is top drawer at reasonable prices the barmaid Hannah is very friendly an welcoming overall a very good experience thank you both..

Had a wonderful lunch here today, there was 3 of us and we were all blown away by the value and quality of the food. The lemon roulade was the best dessert I've ever had! Very nice and very attemptive staff, the building is beautiful, but could use a little tlc. It's a wonderful place though, we will definitely be back!

lovely pub, amazing food, roast was very nice, very welcoming

Well priced and the service was fantastic, the food could have been better for some of the meals

My family and I had an unfortunate experience at George & Dragon today. We were looking for a late lunch and called ahead to confirm that they'll be able to accommodate us if we arrived before 4. We got there around 3:45 and the hostess seated us and even got a high chair for my kid. However, no one took our order for some time and around 4, the chef informed us that he'll not be able to cook for us and suggested that we might have called another pub with the same name. To be fair, he did offer to cook us something simple but I didn't want to force the lad to cook for us on Sunday and left promptly. Ideally I'd have preferred to be refused service when we came in requesting a table rather than after being made to wait. I hope this was a one off incident and you'll do better in the future. On the plus side got a sandwich at the neraby Subway on the way home which was better than expected! PS: Adding a screenshot of my Google maps timeline to confirm that I was not at the wrong George & Dragon.

Great food, friendly atmosphere, warm and cosy . highly recommend.

We were visiting the village and booked a table for two for dinner not knowing anything about the pub. We were met by very friendly staff and given a table close to the woodburner and made to feel welcome and comfortable. We ordered the pork loin and a burger which were both ample and very tasty. The locals were also friendly and cheerful and we enjoyed our visit and returned to our Airbnb cottage happy and replete.

The food was beautiful, scallops and terrine starters with lobster and steak & tiger prawn main courses. The service really couldn't have been faulted. Breakfast was lovely and relaxed and the hospitality was brilliant.

Friendly and lovely atmosphere, great good at good value.

Although we arrived late for lunch the lovely staff still accommodated us with a lovely meal. Very welcoming. They even opened up the beer garden so our dog could come aswell.

Had a great evening here for a Quiz Night with a group.of friends. The landlady was brilliant - very entertaining but also efficient. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. Some of us ate. The food was good, pub food, reasonably priced. Definitely be back.

Nice village pub real ale and food, tho a rather steep staircase,

Could not fault the quality of the food. Best tasting dishes iv had. Well done to the staff too

Great pub, real asset to the village

We’ve been eating regularly in the George and Dragon in the last few weeks. You’ll find outstanding food and service if you visit. Perfect pints of Guinness too. Plus nice wines. Can’t speak highly enough of this lovely pub.

It is great to see this superbly run village pub thriving in these difficult times. We had an excellent dinner of a Burger and Chilli con carne, both of great quality. The service in this family run pub is both friendly and efficient. The pub has parking a sloping large garden and a court yard....oh and the beer is very good!

Lovely local pub with all the facilities. Really lovely land lady with fantastic service. Cant wait to do the walk and Sunday lunch.

A cosy village pub. Friendly staff.

A working lunch.free wifi. Unlimited tea and coffee- you just need to buy lunch. Stunning idea!! And a bargain to boot!! Well done!!

Amazing stay, great hospitality, very friendly and welcoming with lovely private accommodation - thoroughly enjoyed our stay here

Lovely clean pub, landlady was brilliant and chatty.

My colleagues and I regularly get roast lunch from the George & Dragon and it's soooo good. Very accommodating and good portions. I have a small veggie roast which has everything, in replacement for the meat there is a portion of cauliflower cheese. I would thoroughly recommend this place for a roast. We wouldn't return if it wasn't any good 😋. The meat is usually pork, beef or lamb (not chicken).

Nice Sunday Roast and well thought out facilities for a safe and pleasant visit under the circumstances. Well done.

Went to the pub today and had some lovely food for lunch. They have really made the effort to adhere to social distancing guidelines and felt very safe. We had a lovely time and food was delicious. Would 100% recommend !

Amazing food with even better hospitality.

Pensé que la cosa mas dura que habia tenido que pasar en mi vida fué cuando tuve que superar la muerte de mi abuelo y de mi mejor amigo el mismo día, luego intenté comerme uno de vuestros filetes y mi opinión cambió.

The welcome on a Saturday morning for a pre wedding gathering was spot on. The coffee, beer and welcome were all good and in a very good setting too. Only problem is that I don't live in Potterne.

We booked a table fo two for 7pm and on arrival we were the only people in the pub. A table had been reserved and set for us by a roaring log fire, the menus and order were presented and take quickly and efficiently. The...

Pub sympa et authentique autour de la bière locale 6X de Noël 🍻🍺 Essayez le jeu de bouling en bois au sous-sol typique du coin.

You will be disappointed if you don't go in. The staff are fantastic, nothing is too much bother. Always a friendly welcome, a warm, clean pub. The food is amazing. Not everywhere gets it right, but The George and Dragon have. Sunday carvery is simply...

Fab food. Cater for Coeliacs as most food is cooked from scratch. Wonderful service too

Sunday carvery second to none. Friendly staff. Good ale.

Friendly staff lovely room fantastic food couldn't ask for more

Great food, good selection of beers etc. Lovely garden, worth a visit. 👍👍🍺

We visited this pub several times during a stay in Potterne. The food, especially the burger, was fresh and of good quality. We also enjoyed the desserts. Louise, the waitress, suggested both the custard and ice cream on cake - AMAZING. The Sunday Roast is...

Tasty food, very helpful landlady and friendly locals.

Great local pub - full of history

Nice friendly country village pub

Excellent food , warm welcome and friendly atmosphere ,the perfect village pub

Wonderful carvery in a lovely old pub. Friendly and helpful staff, awesome desserts!

The George & The Dragon in Potterne easily serves the most delicious Sunday carvery! The bar staff are always helpful and quick to seat you. You aren’t waiting long before you’re called up to the carvery where the bubbly lady who carves the meat always...

Great pub,good selection of food and drink, friendly staff and a shooting range in the back.

Terrible coffee, couldn’t drink it.

Great family run local. The cider was good - I had to have several just to make sure

Good traditional local pub, nothing fancy food wise but a warm welcome from staff. Dog friendly, chatty locals and reasonable prices. Let's go on a mission to protect these precious village resources before they disappear altogether.

Our visit here was a pleasure, I can't think of any thing that wasn't right. The food was nice traditional style. I would look forward to calling here again should we be in the area.

Nice pub for good coffee and hot chocolate

Friendly, cold cider and decent food, just what I'm looking for in a pub so I'll be back when I'm in the area again.

Pub was okay, staff didn't seem very friendly though.

Highly recommended, 5 star services.

We went on a Saturday night as staying at a nearby B&B. We booked the table in advance but it wasn't too busy so wasn't necessary but this may not always be the case. The staff were very hospitable and friendly and quick to serve...

Beautiful lunch, polite and friendly staff

We are visiting family in the village and have eaten here several times and each time the food was excellent. Freshly cooked and piping hot. There's a wide range of dishes to choose from and some delicious desserts (if you have room - the portions...

Great Sunday carvery and friendly staff

Such a lovely place to visit. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Food is fantastic and Sunday roast.... well I couldn't have cooked one better. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome. Will definitely be seeing more of you. Keep up the good work your doing a great job!! I would give you 6 stars if I could! Richard.

Menu is not extensive. No pasta for example. Service is friendly and good but can't help feeling it needs a bit of a makeover

Excellent food...family run ...really friendly atmosphere

Its nice to find a local pup for locals ,always a warm welcome ,warm cosy ambience and if you're staying for Sunday lunch you won't find better.Another excellent Sunday lunch will visit again
