The George and Dragon in Selby

Camped over in the large carpark, great atmosphere and service spot on. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Fabulous local pub set in a lovely rural village. Sooo lucky to live here but more so because on this pub / restaurant. Great little pub with a great selection of drinks, plenty of seating with lots of parking spaces outside. Bolted onto this business is Bangla Cuisine (see review) and when this is closed Mondays they arrange for a fish & chips van or pizza van to visit and feed the hungry! 😋 Time & Plaice do great fish and chips, whilst Marco’s serve fantastic pizzas. What more could you ask for? A pub that caters for everyone and again is a shining light within West Haddlesey / Chapel Haddlesey. Keep up the great work guys!

Excellent food. Will be there again this week.

This is about 4 miles away from me, but is my regular place to go. The food is superb, as is the service. The staff are all really friendly and manage to keep the friendly professional approach at all times. The standard never dips, which is reassuring and the cleanliness is visible through the pub.

It’s a small, very old pub, around 500 years old. It’s had several owners, since I’ve been here in 1984.

Went with friends and they refused to accept a valid ID even though we were told by the same staff member that a different bar would accept it, but she wouldn’t! basically seemed like she was too embarrassed and stubborn to admit she was wrong and just serve us and follow procedure!

We are pleased that we decided to come back to the George and Dragon besides a good pub menu there is also a specials board as well. As a roaring fire in the dinning area to great you as well something that is very much appreciated this time of year.

Visited for a meal which was delicious. The beer was spot on and staff friendly. I wish that we had a pub like this in our village

It's closing on Sunday 15/7 and the owners are off elsewhere.

another fab sunday lunch lamb was lovely and tender plenty of potatoes veg and gravy lovely to cheesecake was to die for Paul and Shirley are a lovely couple

Friendly service , excellent value for money.

My husband and I had lunch on a Sunday. I had the turkey roast and he had the steak & onion pie. Both were accompanied by mash, cauliflower cheese, broccoli, mixed boiled vegetables & Yorkshire pudding. And, of course, a large jug of tasty gravy. The turkey was excellent and plentiful, very tasty and moist. The pie was superb! It had a proper shortcrust and a tasty filling. We didn't try the desserts because we were too full from the main course, but, from what we could see from the other diners, the desserts looks great! We will definitely return!

My brother in law decided to try a different eating out experience, outside Selby (about 10 to 15 mins outside Selby. ) It was a beautiful evening and sat outside for a couple of drinks first,before going into the restaurant. My B.I.L had steak pie, my Sister in law had lasagne, my wife had chicken and I had bbq pulled pork. Everybody enjoyed their home made dishes and we all rated our main meals at 5 star. My olive and feta salad starter and Elton Mess pudding were also first class. The restaurant was really pleasant and quite cool on a really hot day and the waitress - owner was both pleasant and courteous. We all would recommend a visit and we will definitely be back. Eating gem in the sticks.

Enjoyable drink after bike ride down the canal from Selby on a very sunny saturday afternoon Will go back to try the food

We’ve been here several times now and always enjoyed it so decided treat my mum and dad for father’s day.

Made us very welcome food was great we all will be back.

Excellent draft beers at a reasonable price and very good home made food, service with a smile too, you'll definitely go home full and happy.

A great little Pub, Eatery + B&B; tucked away in a nice little pocket of North Yorkshire. Fair selection of beers and nice people. There is a car park on site. I plan on popping back for food !

We was camping in West Haddesley with our caravan and friends over the Bank Holiday so on the Friday night we booked for evening meal at the George & Dragon the landlord and his wife were very friendly and helpful and the meal was just wonderful and the it was so good we went back for Sunday dinner and we had a wonderful dinner and sweet to follow .It was so good we are booking for an evening meal

Great home cooked food with huge portions and really friendly owners. Highly recommended but book first as very popular.

Typically British village pub, good home cooked food, plenty of choice, decent selection of beverages

Cycled down the canal from Selby on sunny Saturday afternoon for refreshing drink before ride back

After reading the reviews I though I’d better try this out for myself, it was beautiful I had the mixed grill which was lovely and the portion size was plentiful, I recommend anything with gravy on as well as I tried my wife’s pie which was also perfect but it came with a jug of gravy that I had all to myself!! So yes highly recommended and definitely worth the reviews. The staff in there were also very friendly and helpful.

A friendly welcome, cracking ales, and excellent food. Can't say fairer than that.

After reading all the reviews we were quite excited to finally visit. We booked in on Thursday evening which turned out to be a night when a limited menu only was available (wasn’t informed of this when booking over the phone).

Fantastic dinner again last night as always. Very good variety of different things to choose from on the menu for starters, mains and puddings. The quality of the food just cannot be beaten and the value is amazing. I would happily pay twice as much for it! Shirley and Paul always make you feel very welcome.

This lovely little Pub is very friendly and welcoming. The Sunday lunch was excellent value for money and thw food was homecooked and beautiful. A must try if you are in the area.

Lovely local pub, I had the spicy chicken kebab which was absolutely divine and my husband had the beef rib which he thoroughly enjoyed. Paul and Shirley are very welcoming, can’t recommend it enough

Simple and tasty home cooked food in a traditional English pub. Ample portions, plenty of choice and great value. Hand pulled cask ale from the local micro brewery was in superb condition.

As a regular customer I'm often guilty of ordering the same things over and over as they're that good, but last night I tried something different with Shirley's "posh fish butty" and it was fantastic. Really enjoyed the meal, and as ever the atmosphere was...

Can not recommend the food enough . Shirley and Paul are perfect hosts will be going back very soon . Nothing was too much trouble xx

I visited the George and Dragon for a Sunday lunch with my family. The food and service was outstanding with a varied lunch menu and plenty of homemade desserts to choose from. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone looking for a tasty home cooked meal.

Called in for tea, first time we've been here but will be going back. The food was gorgeous all home made and plenty of choice and good portions.

Very tasty food, lovely staff and huge portions

Always a warm welcome and fabulous food. I'm very grateful that my dietary needs are catered for willingly.

Family and friends all went for the Thursday special. Starters of cheesy potato wedges, Delightful steak pie and gravy. Chips out of this world. Followed by snickers cheesecake. Shirley even did my wife’s own gravy mix as she is gluten free, thanks Shirley!

what a lovely pub this is Shirley and Paul are the best minehost made to feel very welcome food was superb beef and lamb was the best plenty of veg and potatoes desserts well what can I say my granddaughter loves coming if your thinking of a place to go for sunday lunch or through week can highly recommend it you won't be disappointed

Called in on way back from work. The service was as friendly as always. (I have been coming for over 10 years)

Amazing food, absolutely delicious, great staff and atmosphere. Service is fantastic. Just had Sunday lunch and it was beautiful. Portions are very generous, you will never be disappointed here. If you have visited and enjoy Sunday lunch then please book through the week as all meals are homemade and absolutely delicious. Can’t fault it

Found on trip advisor when looking for Sunday lunch, so phoned & booked a table for 4. Good job I did as when we arrived the first thing we saw was the fully booked sign. Lovely little bar with a great local pub feel, the food was fantastic 4 Sunday lunch’s all had different, I had a steak & onion pie it was beautiful, we all had a pudding too. Great to find a proper pub with real home cooked food, a 40 mile round trip for us but we will be calling back again.

Lovely food and first class service. Hope to be back soon.😀

Went for a family meal and the staff couldn't do more to accommodate us. I phoned the night before and requested a special dessert and they were great. Food was fantastic and everyone really enjoyed themselves. Brilliant xx

We loved our family meal here and booked in advance. Such a cosy pub with a warm welcome and lovely dining experience. The food was just fantastic and the puddings went down a treat. Defiantly worth a visit! We can't wait until our next visit.

Lovely warm welcoming pub. Excellent food and friendly service

Excellent food, excellent hospitality and brilliant atmosphere...was first visit and definitely going back!

Love the food and the chips, oh the chips! A lovely and warm welcome, with attentive service but yet you're free to enjoy your meal at your own pace. Thank you G and D! The Foster's

4 of us visited for a meal last night having read the reviews on Tripadvisor. We were warmly welcomed at the bar where we ordered our first round and moved to our table. Everyone was extremely friendly and our food was promptly delivered. The food was very very good with excellent portions. The spicy chicken lasagne was especially good! Although we were full, we forced ourselves to try deserts and they were excellent as well. I hope more people get a chance to try this gem of a typical village pub. We will be back soon!

Visited here last night having read all the hype on facebook and boy were we not disappointed. We had booked in advance to get Shirleys Thursday deal and arrived to a lovely warm greeting in the bar and from Shirley. If you book in advance on a Thursday you get two starters for £5, two mains for £10 and two puddings for £5 so basically a three course meal for £10. The menu is a limited menu for this offer but there is still loads of choice of starters and mains and puds and they certainly are not small portions like you get in some places when offers are on. The service was fast, the food was lovely homemade food which we could not fault. My husband who is a vegetarian was more than happy with his choices and delighted to find the chips werent cooked in dripping. Thank you for a lovely evening Shirley, we have already booked to go back and having looked at the full menu last night, lots of visits are needed to make sure we try lots of things we fancied on the menu.

Lovely friendly pub.Shirley can’t do enough for you.Always travel to come here for an evening meal as the food is...

Thank you once again Shirley for a truly delicious meal. Your cheese pie gorgeous as usual and yours are the only chips we ever eat! Cheesecake to die for now having a lie down . Can recommend Shirley's home cooking and she never stints on portions. Book for a Thursday £10 and you won't be disappointed.

Re visited the G&D; after a number of years and really pleased as the food on offer is really good and matched with great service.

Not often I bother to write reviews but for the George and Dragon I’m willing to make an exception. Visited for Sunday dinner (Shirley fitted us in despite calling last minute) and can’t speak of it highly enough. Starters were lovely and the mains (steak and Stilton pie and turkey roast) delicious, veg cooked to perfection, exactly how a Sunday dinner should be. Portions were very generous and all courses very reasonably priced.

Sorely tempted to award 5 stars but I VERY rarely do. This was a very good Pub meal with Pleasant and courteous service and smiles throughout. Well-presented Pub food in a dog-friendly clean and pleasant country pub. Thanks guys.

Visited this place several times know we were there sunday 21st Jan good was lovely we had beef and lamb choice of potatoes and veg in abundance gravy is the best sweets are yummy and plenty to choose between my granddaughter gets so excited when she knows we are going Shirley and Paul are so friendly and welcoming

First time trying this pub & we had a lovely Sunday Lunch. Very busy & a little short staffed waiting on but the lady did a fantastic job & the food was ‘hot ‘ & plentiful. We will definitely be going back. Price is good as well. Need to book

So very lucky to have this place as my local..my addiction to steak pie means I have visited many many times!!!Thursday's two for a tenner a fabulous offer not to be missed. However..Shirleys home cooking on a evening , with a full choice from the menu was scrumptious.

Me and my girlfriend visited the 2 weekend in January, I could not believe how helpful the staff was, they seemed to appreciate that we had come out of our way to visit! The food was amazing and what a portion ive never seem a portion so big in all my life! Food ✅ Customer Service ✅ and a great choice of beers ✅ I had fillet steak which was amazingly cooked and my girlfriend had sausage and mash which was amazing too we’ll be back soon that’s for sure

Been a few times now and always something different on the menu - not just your usual pub grub (but there is that too!). Always a good selection of beers too and Shirley & Paul are always wonderful hosts. Our dog loves it too

absolutely amazing. stunning food and great service

Visited for Sunday lunch today with a large group, Paul was very helpful in regards to the booking we made. Some of our group were delayed due to a name confusion, but they were very understanding. Overall the food was divine, that gravy with the roast dinner I wanted to take home with me!

Ate here as a family of 5 for Christmas Day lunch. The food was fabulous, all home cooked and with plenty of choice. Service was fantastic although the pub was very busy, nothing was too much trouble. It must be very difficult to produce food to such a high standard for so many diners and to give up your own Christmas Day. I would recommend this pub for anyone, just give it a try and you won’t be disappointed! You’ll want to keep coming back as much as I do!

I have been coming here on and off for years and it never disappoints. We came here for sunday lunch this week and the food was amazing as usual. Always a warm welcome from Shirley and the food was amazing as usual! Shirley how do you make that gravy?!!!! hopefully wont be long before our next visit :)

Local family took us here for lunch, after raving about the food. It did not disappoint, delicious roast dinner. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely be coming back. If I lived local I'd definitely be a lunch regular.

Visited with 8 family members New Years Eve. A warm welcome greeted us. The food was outstanding as always. A varied menu, something for everyone. The Sunday roast is wonderful with plenty of everything. Shirley is a fabulous cook, loved it all. This wasn't our 1st visit and certainly wont be our last.

Whenever I travel north to visit family I'll always insist on dining at this restaurant. We're always greeted warmly and promptly by staff. The food isn't just great because of the very reasonable pricing and generous portion size. You can taste a wealth of experience and passion in every bite, that is very hard to find these days.

We visited the George and Dragon for our Christmas Day Dinner this year. Five of us ate in total and had the meal booked from October.I feel eating elsewhere for Christmas puts a lot of pressure on whoever is hosting you, to get it right - but I had no doubts about Shirley's menu or capabilities! Shirley duly delivered on a fantastic turkey dinner, lovely starters and (two!) brilliant deserts. Despite the pub being full of both eaters and drinkers, we never felt rushed to get to our table, or get away from it - it was a thoroughly enjoyable few hours of our Christmas Day and would recommend this to anybody in the area. Our plans are still up in the air for next year, but given half the chance I would book again in a heartbeat.

I booked for Christmas Day at very short notice and was lucky enough to get a table. I took 2 children with me and we all enjoyed the food. I ordered the roast beef, steak pie and vegetarian cottage pie and they came with loads of vegetables including sprouts, parsnips, roast potatoes, cauliflower and swede. As the kids have small appetites I ended up eating most of the meals (no mean feat as Shirley does very generous portions!) so I can say with confidence; the beef melt in the mouth, the vegetarian cottage pie was very tasty and the steak pie was, as usual, to die for. For dessert we had 2 chocolate fudge cakes and an Eton Mess.........again I ate a lot of this and both puddings were fab.To say I rolled home is an understatement!

We booked for 33 friends and family. The food as always was lovely and made all the more special by the great friendly service. This is the best food I have ever had, all home cooked and delicious. The gravy is the better that any I have tasted. Thank you xx

Ate there with the family on Christmas Day and as usual the food was to die for! Starter of prawns and salmon was delicious, turkey and trimmings including roasties, cauliflower cheese and loads of veg absolutely amazing and the Christmas pudding cheesecake was fantastic! We eat there as often as we can. Thank you Shirley!

This is our 2nd year at having Christmas Dinner at the George & Dragon. There was something for everyone, from the traditional Christmas Dinner to the Fish Platter that my Dad enjoyed. The portions are enormous & incredibly tasty. We have been eating at this pub for the last 6 years & cannot recommend it enough. Such a warm, cosy pub & the owners Shirley & Paul are so welcoming. There wasn't a starter that my 9 year old liked (fussy!) but Shirley went out of her way to accommodate him & made him something that wasn't even on the menu. Talk about hospitality! All 5 of us had a different dessert & I wish I could have eaten them all. I had the homemade Christmas Pudding Cheesecake & I will never go back to eating just Christmas Pudding. It should always come in cheesecake form. You never feel rushed to eat & leave like in a lot of establishments & Shirley is always the perfect host. If you only try one new place to eat in 2018, make sure it's this place. I promise you won't be disappointed!!!

We have been coming here for a while now and are always blown away by the quality and amount of food. Shirley is superwoman and she never stopped to make sure our Christmas was perfect. Couldn’t have asked for anything more.Superb service and excellent food. Thanks once again xx

Thank you so much for a lovely Christmas Day lunch! 7 of us went and we all had a really lovely meal, as usual Shirley went out of her way to look after us and make sure we all had a great time. We all left feeling happy and full! Would definitely recommend and I’m looking forward to going again for Sunday lunch soon! Big thanks to Shirley and Paul!

Another wonderful meal at the G&D again last night. We had steak & kidney pudding and steak & ale pie. Both were really tasty. Mountains of tasty chips and the veg is fresh and perfectly cooked. We both also had starters, coffee and a couple of pints each - total cost less than £40! Cannot be beaten in the area for quality and value. We’ll be back again soon!!!

The food here is fantastic and there's plenty of it. It's all home made too. The service and the staff are all excellent. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

My wife and I visit this Pub every Sunday for Lunch, we always find the food fantastic and the service great, Last Sunday we went with 3 of our relatives. We ordered 2 Turkey roasts, 2 Steak and Mushroom pies and a Hunters Chicken. Our relatives, who eat out a lot, all agreed that this was the best Sunday Lunch that they had ever tasted. My wife and I will be back this Sunday and the following Sunday we are taking out some more relatives as a birthday treat. Go on, try this pub - you will not be disappointed.

Booked a table for 2 last Friday evening and arrived to a warm welcome in this cosy village pub. Opted to skip starters as we had already spotted the desserts board. We both chose meals from the specials board - lamb shank served on a bed of mashed potato, and steak pie with double Gloucester and black pepper pastry - both were amazing! The steak in the pie was so tender and full of flavour, served with a rich gravy and seasonal veg. My husband was equally pleased with the lamb - it was so tender it fell off the bone. We didn't think we would be able to manage dessert however we were temped with sticky toffee pudding cheesecake to share and it was divine!All in all, genuinely friendly service, fantastic home cooked food and great value. It's 18 months since our last visit and we won't be leaving it that long again!! See you soon......

EXcellent food, realistic prices, friendly staff and local real beer what more could you ask for? IT is also dog friendly that,'s what. THis is well worth a visit.

The village of West Haddlesey is beautiful, enjoy a walk along the canal before or after a visit to the pub. We booked for Sunday Lunch and received a warm welcome, enjoyed great food and will be back again.

We've eaten here several times but this was our first time for Sunday lunch. It was absolutely beautiful. Great portions, all home cooked, fresh veg and a lovely welcome as always. Hubby had the beef and I had the quorn cottage pie. Both left full to the brim and fell in to a satisfied carb coma! Great value, you won't be disappointed!

Best meals ever look forward to going great service plenty of lovely food would recommend to all took friends with us and they even had vegetarian options really pleased with their meals

As our monthly eatery the owl at hambleton was being refurbished I suggested we should try my favourite place for pie! My 5 friends were more than impressed with the Thursday night meal deal and were blown away with Shirley's delicious homemade pies. Thanks for saving me a cheese and onion one. I mentioned that the cheesecakes were all homemade too and suddenly there was room for pud! All to die for the owls loss is your gain Shirley they will definitely be back. Thanks Chris Marshall x

Following reviews on tripadvisor we decided to visit for the first time for Sunday lunch.Starting with local ales and then followed by a Sunday lunch which was unbelievably good. I started with the tandoori chicken goujons was were very good. We both chose to have the turkey roast, What an excellent choice. The lturkey tasted fresh and tender with one of the best array on vegetables. Before leaving we placed a further booking.

Went back for Sunday lunch yesterday with my other half and her sister. They had pies and I had the beef. All of us were left fully satisfied. The beef just melted in your mouth. Lovely fresh veg and generous portions. Starters and puddings were spot on too. Absolutely cannot be beaten for price and quality in the area!!

Went for Sunday lunch and yet again Shirley doesn’t disappoint.First time I’ve managed to get in as I usually book too late and it’s always busy. Now I can see why. Friendly greeting at the bar and quickly seated. Great choice for Sunday lunch, not just the usual roast dinner (although that was what we fancied!)We quickly ordered and food arrived in no time (as usual) piping hot and generous portions. We got a turkey and a lamb dinner and a MASSIVE Yorkshire pudding! Yum! Potatoes and veg served on the side which I prefer as I don’t overface myself (and eat everything in sight!) absolutely delicious. Dessert was the usual cheesecake and crumble, amazing and such great value.This is one of our favourite pubs to visit and always look forward to going. Can’t visit too often as it’s not good for the waistline ;)

What a place to eat, fantastic food, great staff that go over and above for the customers. This is our second visit to the George and Dragon and all I can say is if you haven’t eaten here it’s your loss Can’t recommend highly enough Thank you for a great experience

Lovely pub in a rural setting that really is worth looking up. Good real ale served well and the food is excellent. The Stilton Pie is to die for, best i have ever had. Gravy also is sublime. All of our meals were of high quality. The puddings are also first class, especially the cheesecakes. Service was quick and efficient with nothing too much trouble. Get to a little hidden gem now and support local independent pubs not mass produced chains.

This place is a gem. Warm friendly welcome. Beer is perfect and the food is amazing had sunday lunch today amd was the best i have had in alot of years. Will Defanintly be telling friends and returning. Thank you

Went into this pub for a price comparion on drinks when compared to another pub about a mile away [ Jug Inn] at Chapel Haddlesey - in the area - where for a G & T,[ ice & lemon] and 1/2 a lager I was charged £10.00, which seemed excessive.My wife & i went into the G & D - ordered the same drink & was charged £6.20. Which was nearer to the price I expected. Very busy at the bar area, although there was plenty of space for dining. It has been several years since we visited last - and we felt it quite bare & basic. Did not have any food at this time, although i understand they do serve good wholesome food. As i say i wanted to 'test the drink prices' .

Never been here before, and I have to say was made so welcome as soon as we walked through the door, the food was all home cooked, and everyone enjoyed it. Great price and plenty. The staff couldn't do enough for you. We will defiantly be returning, and I would defiantly recommend it. Thank you and see you very soon again x

We went to the George and Dragon at West Haddlesey for sunday lunch this weekend , what a fabulous meal and the staff couldn't have been friendlier , we both had the steak and stilton pie and it was magnificent .Would definitely recommend a visit especially as they made this weekends Yorkshire puddings with locally sourced duck eggs !! Where else would you get that ?

Visited George and Dragon with my husband for a meal tonight. Meal was delicious and Shirley made me a vegetarian option. We visit often and we are never disappointed with the service and food. I would highly recommend this friendly little pub. We will be back.

excellent food and lovely friendly service we will be coming back the fish platter is superb wonderful homemade puddings

I have been to this pub loads of times over the years but haven't been for quite a while of late. I decided to go there for Sunday lunch as I've not been for several months. The lunch was fabulous as always with everything cooked to perfection. The meat was plentiful and there was the added dish of vegetables to put on the plate - no-one went hungry I can tell you. The gravy is proper gravy and is delicious. After we had polished off this mound of food we went on to dessert.........I'm the one who checks the desserts before the mains s I was all prepared for the malteser cheesecake. It was gorgeous served with ice cream (I really should be the official pudding tester for this place!).All in all a great experience with a wonderful meal.

We recently had Home made pie and have to say it was absolutely excellent, the gravy was also fantastic. It was full of meat and the pastry was lovely This pub is well worth going for a meal, fantastic service and excellent value for money It would be hard to find another place who can bake pies as they can here. Would recommend a visit

Been here so many times for food with family and friends, with never anything less than 100% satisfaction from everyone who sits at Shirley's table..... but this time it was just me, on my own at 2130ish, for a quiet pint....and once again, the perfect pub visit.....perfectly served pint of Theakstons....great conversation from bar staff and regulars....can't recommend this place enough.

Went to George and dragon for Sunday lunch 17th Sept food was excellent lamb and then surperb dessert sticky toffee waffle ice cream and strawberries Shirley and Paul second to none mine host looking forward to our next visit on Sun 1st Oct if you not been before well worth a visit mavis and brian

This pub calls me back every time for its great hosts and tasty food and never fails too disappoint. We had spicy chicken lasagna and steak Pie followed by snickers cheesecake and Eton mess great pub food. Everything was hot and served promptly by landlady Shirley. Worth all the positive reviews

Shirley does a number of fantastic dishes at the George and Dragon, all home cooked - but a stand out star is the Steak, Port and Stilton Pie. Cracking chips and signature gravy, I could eat this over and over again (and do, pretty much every visit).Aside from cracking food, this pub makes for a great evening of social drinking and nattering with friends and family, Paul and Rob are both bang on behind the bar and are very good at bringing different guests together to enhance the atmosphere at the bar.Top notch, if you're thinking of going - get booked in!

Well done Shirley...only give you an hours notice but you fitted us in no problem excellent food and service once again...keep up the good work...AAAA++++

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch for the two of us . Lovely home cooked food at its best accompanied by a well kept pint of white dragon
