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.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.

The locals were also friendly and cheerful and we enjoyed our visit and returned to our Airbnb cottage happy and replete.

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).
