The George and Dragon Inn in Chichester

Friendly staff and great service. Would go back. Lovely pub, i had a lovely experience here it was very nice

We were looking for Sunday lunch at the last minute, and were seated after a short wait. We were delighted with the quality, and generous amount of food. The roast was served with a wide variety of vegetables. The service at the table was outstanding, with the kitchen being most helpful to cater to our needs. The restaurant was quiet, and the price was not expensive.

Great stay at The George & Dragon - comfy room inc tea/coffee/biscuits/hairdryer/iron/shampoo/shower gel/soap Beautiful breakfast! Great choice: we had avocado on toast with poached eggs cooked to perfection mmmmmm croissants were delicious too and the cooked breakfast another day = perfect! Sunday lunch here was magnificent!! Fit for a king! Warm, friendly staff too - highly recommend

Excellent value stay in central Chichester. Spotlessly clean and comfortable and the stable rooms are accessible outside of pub opening hours via a side gate. Nice not to have to come and go through the bar area. Staff were really friendly and the breakfast exceeded expectations. Smoked salmon and scrambled egg, crushed avocado and poached egg as well as the more traditional full English. No parking at the hotel but plenty of car parks nearby where 24hrs is under £8. Will definitely be staying again.

Lovly staff so helpful, very nice room lovly for an overnight stay, pub was very busy , as it was Saturday night, plenty of laughter, and the breakfast was absolutely amazing .

Stayed for a couple of nights in one of the twin rooms over the bank holiday weekend whilst visiting friends. Food was good, atmosphere was great! Both nights were lively due to their 80’s night and karaoke but thoroughly enjoyed both. Drinks a little pricey but worth it

Yet another great time had at the G&D visited for the karaoke on Sunday night and had a brilliant time friendly staff and some really interesting beers on sale including red stripe which I can’t seem to find anywhere on tap. Always a win with me and my friends

A crap place to forget!!! never seen in my life such an orrible b&b. wifi not working, the room was damp and dirty, continental breakfast non existing (a bunch of dirty tea bags and hot water, yougurt not available, milk from weeks before, bad quality fruit - an apple and an organge). The plus was the staff: rude, unhelpful, not knowing the place they live in: I asked for the local tourist information and a girl at the reception looked at me as if i was asking for the holy graal! and the tourist infomation is just a block away from this crappy, dirty, ridicolus place. not an Inn, a hovel!!!

We had a lovely couple of days. Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, clean, quiet room, fabulous breakfast. Perfect

We visited this inn for a special dinner organised for our friends who are church bellringers and we were having a week's tour in Sussex, The inn has such a splendid atmosphere you feel you should be arriving by coach or a sedan chair. They had had a large lunch party and were still clearing up, but this was all done very efficiently and they were soon ready for us. The food was one would say typical good pub food and it was well presented and served. At the close of the evening we asked the proprietor to get us a taxi but he couldn't find one available so he very kindly drove us to our hotel himself.

Average Pub, average décor. But found the lagers very expensive and all well over £6 a pint and if you want a bag of crisps its £1.60. Dont even get me started on the price of a large house wine. Maybe acceptable if in London or fancy wine bar but not a basic pub.

on a whim we stayed here to wander around Chicester and celebrate my wifes birthday. We booked a room which was very clean and tidy and very good value. The staff were efficient and polite and although we did not eat in the evening what we saw looked good. However the real prize was the breakfast. continental or english the choice was varied and copious. We will definitely stay again. Thank you to Kieran and the staff for making us feel at home and I promise I will not mislay the keys again!!!

Food was not good. I had the minute steak, it was so tough and tasteless. Husband had a burger ,mediocre. Booked for 6pm as going to theatre. Meal took a long time so had to rush it. My steak has come home for the dog if she can manage it

Lovely place to stay, friendly and welcoming staff. Rooms are clean and perfect for an overnight stay. Would highly recommend.

Good pub grub with friendly staff. A good varied menu with plenty of vegan options. Quite a long wait for food to arrive, but it was worth it.

Lovely place with a friendly atmosphere. The guest rooms a lovely too. The staff are friendly and they have a good selection of beers and wines.

A lovely warm welcome from the solo chap manning the bar & restaurant. He was friendly and jly efficient. Food is always good and it's value for money.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our charity fundraiser meal was a great success. We will definitely visit this pub more often.

I stayed for business reasons during September for 4 nights. The closest car park was Northgate car park, literally a 2 minute walk, as there is no parking onsite. The room was basic but clean, the staff were very friendly and the complimentary breakfast, was...

Charming staff and a good room. The inn is in an excellant location. Thank you all for your help and care.

Lovely old traditional pub. Staff were very helpful and friendly. We booked as a family for a 2.00 pm Sunday lunch sitting which may explain some of the misgivings. The service was very good with the food coming out at about roughly the same time....

Nice cosy pub, our second visit and we also stayed the night, everything was perfect. In the centre of town close to everything.

Whilst staying at the G&D we ate in the restaurant and excellent it was too! Recommend the sausage & mash & steak & ale pie - yummy!!

The inn staff are so nice and helpful, our room was perfect, clean , comfortable and easy accessible, we will stay there again. Thank you all at the inn.

Very friendly staff. Although the menu was geared towards the usual pub dishes, there was plenty of choice and the portions were large. I rarely have difficulty choosing as there are normally a limited number of gluten-free choices but there was plenty here. I had...

Stopped for lunch after visiting Chichester one Saturday as the menu had a couple of interesting vegetarian options. The main pub seemed a bit dark, but there is a large conservatory at the back, where we sat. This overlooks the garden, which also looked nice,...

The pub has a nice restaurant area at the rear off the pub which is just on the North Street close to the main theatre car park. Only time for one course but the sea bream on potatoes and peppers was delicious and very good...

Great stay, great value, great food! We were lucky to get in, nabbed the last room available. Beautiful weather too! Recommend the pizzas but especially the hash-WOW!

We wanted a place to eat before the theatre so booked this on a recommendation. The pub itself wasn’t very busy but I’m not sure we would have got a table to eat without booking. It’s a decent pub menu with no major surprises on...

The staff, room, drinks were all good.....only one thing that spoilt our stay. In the morning we found 3 old blood spots on my pillow case. The case had been washed and put on again. It wasn't visible when we arrived which makes me think...

Nice welcome, bright and light inside with plenty of outside seating to trear. Heineken Zero on tap if required.

We had a long weekend in Chichester and on an evening wonder came across this pub. What a little gem. Had the most amazing cocktail and the staff were so lovely, especially Michael ! Lovely lad. Wanted to take him home. He was so helpful....

Just popped in for a quick drink, but were made to feel very welcome by Zee. Lovely garden area out back - a real sun trap. Recommended!

Had a post lockdown lunch. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent and reasonably priced. I would certainly recommend if you are in Chichester. Tina, our server, was excellent.

We stopped in on 1st may, the bar staff were really accommodating and managed to squeeze us a table of three at the last minute. We ordered the Hawaiian pizza, wedges and mussels. Hats off to the chef every plate of food was lovely.

Great atmosphere and great service. When you talk about a nice pub atmosphere in Chichester this is the best place in to be. Would heavily recommend this place.

Amazing customer service and brilliant food! Lovely garden out the back with a nice chilled vibe. Highly recommended

Originally drawn inside from the smell of food and free WiFi. Chips were tasty but absolutely no sign of any WiFi, bit disappointed as just need to do a few things. Good staff, good ale. Good covid rules.

Had a veggie burger yesterday and thought great a meal for just under £10. When ordering was asked if I wanted chips which I did. Those were extra so came to nearly £12. I assumed chips were included in the original price. Burger was ok but big

Won’t be going back to the George and Dragon for a while. Whole place looks rundown inside which is less that expected after 3 months of closure. Painting unfinished and really shabby looking place inside the conservatory unfortunately. Food was Terrible also, plain looking and bland. Not sure what’s happened here but something needs to change. Used to be decent!

Good food with their own smoked products. Log fire always a joy. Comfortable venue with welcoming staff

Chichester turned out to be a perfect destination for a mini winter break with a friend. The George was welcoming, the smallish double rooms comfortable, tea, coffee and biscuits pleasingly provided and a good cooked breakfast. Excellent value for money.

We had been using this pub on a semi regular basis for some time, nice bar area, nice garden area (but nothing special), but something seemed to change.My wife was served two very flat pints of lager, when she asked for them to be changed, the bar man seemed to her to be grumpy about it, but did change them, but clearly it was some effort for him (it's now apparent it's the bar manager). So we started to use a Tavern closer to the Park round the corner, which has been far more welcoming & a friendlier vibe in general. Recently a group of us used this venue to celebrate Christmas, my review is my own experience rather than anyone else in the group, but talking to others since, we share aspects of opinion. On arriving I ordered a lager, hoping that previous experiences might now have been resolved (they haven't been). I went & joined our group & while waiting for food to arrive, not rushing my drink, it had gone flat (not just lost it's head as the manager told me. Our starters arrived, Prawn Cocktails, served in a half pint jug, bland sauce & maybe 6 or so small prawns. Others having the same starter also commented how mean the portion was. One was sent back to have the unusual topping of raw onion removed (I didn't mind this topping, though it was quite different). Other comments were how mean that no bread or butter was offered with it. I also wasn't bothered about the presentation. Others sat near me had soup, they weren't sure what it was, they thought it was bland. While waiting for our main course, I went & ordered another pint of lager. Explained what had happened to the first, the same bar manager poured the pint & it was almost flat in the glass, losing it's head almost instantly. He poured it into one or two other glasses & said I should complain to Heineken. His attitude was really quite unusual for a bar manager & perhaps accounts for how quiet the pub often seems to be & how many adverts they have for new staff requirements! I took my sad looking pint & went back to the table. Main course arrived, which was a Turkey dish. By now I was disappointed with the managers unnecessary poor attitude (I had been polite to & other staff). Probably about halfway through the main course, my drink was flat, devoid of head, likewise someone else also drinking lager said their drink wasn't like it is in other local pubs. I decided to go to the bar & ask him to refund me for my drink. On speaking to him, he was basically quiet rude. This was a £20 meal consisting of one poor Prawn Cocktail & an ok main dish, plus £4.80 for one dire pint & the second proving to be the same. While this isn't a huge amount, our group are volunteers at a local charity. So we give our time for free. After speaking to him, I decided that the best option was to leave, having been drinking in pubs for more than 30 years, I've never encountered someone with so little idea of good customer service & that has been so rude & unhelpful. When I asked him to refund my drink, he said that I hadn't given him the opportunity to do anything about changing my drink or anything else, ie a drink on the house - which is nonsense. I gave him my main meal back & said that I would not be paying for the poor food. I promptly left & don't plan on returning. The food that I did eat/or the 1 1/2 pints of flat/headless lager did give me terrible gut issues the next day! When or if the manager replies to this, please do leave your name, which you refused to give me so I could complain to your superiors. Thank you

We were looking for a Sunday roast in Chichester and there are a lot of options but many places had the feel of style over substance.The George and Dragon is not a flash venue and could possibly do with a little sprucing up in the bar area but the staff were really friendly and keen to help.My wife and I both decided to have the roast beef and a side of cauliflower cheese to share. The menu itself was small but I would rather 5 or 6 choices done well than 20 poorly.Our food arrived quickly and was excellent, three types of veg, slices of beef and four large potatoes along with a Yorkshire pudding and gravy.Overall an enjoyable experience that I would repeat.

We used to eat at the George and Dragon quite a bit when our daughter was alive. One day I had an appointment at ENT at St Richard's Hospital so we decided to make a day of it and go shopping in Chichester. The place is as we remembered it; pleasant surroundings and nice food. We both had the bar meal of a selection of three sausages. I had brown bread with mine and my husband chose white. We each had a glass of wine. I think that when we visit Chichester again we shall return. The staff members are friendly and pleasant and one is not rushed over one's choice of food.

We popped in about 5ish for a pre-theatre supper. There was a warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The food was great ...freshly cooked and some really interesting flavours of pies!!! Portions were more than generous i will definitely go back and I have already recommended it to other friends.

Proper pub with an innovative chef. Lunch: trio of sausage/ cheese and beans jacket. Sausages lovely, very distinctive, the mixed smokey beans with meaty bits, delicious. For dinner, the chicken stack yum, pie was the only let down, hard pastry and some of the beef tough, bubble and squeak was very moreish. Excellent breakfast, very comfortable, clean room for our stay.

Cosy little pub/inn offering rooms which are set just at the rear of the pub in a cute cottagey style building. No parking at the pub but huge car park 5 minutes walk away via underpass and not expensive. The pub itself is quite lively and serves a good range of ales and 31 gins! Our room was quite small but adequate for a night's stay, average shower and no plug in the sink! Double bed was clean, comfortable and room was clean. It was quite noisy at night and early morning with guests in other rooms coming in and out, banging doors and creaky floors etc. Rooms probably could do with a little updating, carpets changed etc but didn't detract from comfort and hospitality of the staff. Good breakfast with cereals, fruit and plenty of hot choices cooked fresh to order. Great central location, would definitely stay again when visiting Chichester.

Recently dined here with friends, including one baby and one puppy. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and the food was good too. Reasonably priced meals that cater for all diets. Definitely recommend.

This is a dog friendly pub, which is important when you have a dog. The staff very friendly and knowledgeable about gluten intolerance and the pub food was very good. We had lunch, all served in reasonable time and we felt the staff looked after their clients well. Would definitely go again.

Although the pub is pleasant enough and the beer is good the food frankly was very disappointing . Shame !

Here for breakfast, service was good but food was just average with sausage being rather dried up. Have had better elsewhere for less money.

Positives. Lovely quiet location in the centre of the city. Clean rooms that are cleaned every day, which is a plus. Helpful staff and great food.

We've eaten here a couple of times now and will visit again.

New Menu is great for casual eating at any time.The log fire and comfy seating are inviting on a cold winter evening. Very convenient for the Theatre.

We had a stop over in our former home city as we were visiting a ill relative. The inn is very cosy and our room was comfortable and clean.only complaints were they don't have their own Wi-Fi, they rely on the cloud which is not very good as so many people use it. Also at breakfast there was not a lot of choice if like me you are for healthy eating. No choice of eggs, I requested boiled eggs and toast and was told the best they could offer was poached eggs on toast.

We had booked to see the Nutcracker Ballet with our daughter & granddaughter & wanted a light bite before the show. Our daughter who lives in nearby looked for a pub that served food. She found the George as it looked like the nearest pub to the theatre that served food. We were not disappointed, The food was excellent chosen from the fresh cooked list of chef's specials and served quickly & with a smile ! Excellent range of real ales were also on offer as well as mulled wine.

Another overnight stay due to working locally, prebooked G&D; based on reviews and price.

Welcome to this lovely famous cosy pub,which I have the pleasure to frequent.

Suspect something needs to be done to separate the reviews of rooms from those of the restaurant since they are really separate.

Recommended by a friend for 'Good Food and Friendly Staff'. Staff lovely, food not so. Only ordered Chicken Goujons as a light lunch, with sweet potato fries. The chicken was so tough we sent it back! The replacement. fish, was better, but will not be going again. Very expensive for what we had; four goujons for £6.50!!

My wife and I popped into the George and Dragon for an early evening drink, there were only a dozen people inside at the time, there were 3 guys at the the bar so drunk that they could hardly stand up f.ing and blinding at the top of there voices, they would have been asked to leave any other pub I have ever frequented but were unchallenged by the bar staff who continued to serve them.

Really great friendly staff. Food is not bad either. Couldn't say it was dirty but it needs a spring clean. I would eat there again, varied menu and very welcoming staff.

Greeted on a rainy Sunday by a "manager" having an argument with somebody whose room was not ready on time and who had all the charm of a tacky nightclub bouncer. "Food or drink?' he barked at me with a grimace.

Popped in today for a spot of lunch whilst in town. Ordered the chicken poppers to start with and whilst the chicken was very good the leaves on the salad had not been washed so gritty. The nachos were very good and homemade. Main course of pie of the day was ok and ploughman’s wasn’t bad either.

We ambled in here almost by mistake, but what a find!!!! We sat in the airy conservatory and had a really lovely lunch. The staff were warm and welcoming and I will be going again for sure!!

Lovely staff; food good value; breakfast excellent. Good mattress; excellent location.

Whilst on holiday in Chichester,we popped in here just as kitchen was due to close,and all enjoyed a Dragon Burger, good food and great staff

It's difficult in Chichester to find somewhere that a) is not a restaurant chain b) welcomes dogs and c) offers food outside 'normal' eating hours. That's why we love the G&D.; It was late afternoon on a horrible rainy bank holiday Monday.. Most pubs not serving food and we can't go into restaurants because we had the dogs with us so we nip into the G&D; and immediately are made to feel welcome. It was cozy and warm inside and the service from Alex was impeccable. Food ordered, us and the dogs watered, we sat down and savoured the atmosphere. A steady trickle of people made it feel lovely and all in all we kind of didn't really want to leave in the end. The food is standard pub grub but hot and delicious and just what we needed. We shared the fish platter and then had pie with veg and bubble and squeak. No room for pud after that! Love the fact that it's a bit tatty, that's part of the charm and adds to the welcoming atmosphere. Thanks Alex for making a miserable afternoon feel so much better!

A few of us came here for Sunday lunch recently & it was very pleasant to see that their menu whilst offering the obligatory roasts it did offer a few other choices. Two of our party did opt for roasts whilst one went for a tuna dish, another for a burger & I chose fish & chips. The general consensus was that most people enjoyed their food but if I’m honest it wasn’t the best fish & chips I’d ever had, the fish was slightly overcooked & along with the batter tasted quite bland. The chips were ok but the mushy peas & tartare sauce accompaniments didn’t have much flavour – pretty average. Some of our party decided to have desserts & did enjoy what they had. The service was also a bit hit & miss, but friendly – we’d literally sat down & were having a quick chat & were asked if we’d chosen food when none of us had even had a chance to look at the menu - the place wasn't very busy & I wasn't aware that we were in a rush! The pub has a very good beer choice but looks very tired & tatty in places & my overall impression was that I don’t think I’ll be visiting for food any time soon.

Simply had to re-visit our fave place again for another special Christmas. NEVER disappointed & looking forward to returning to see the new ferb! How exciting!! Can't wait!!!

So they've changed their name to simply 'The George' described as a pub and smokehouse.

The staff and friendly and very helpful, food good, but rooms not so clean. Comfortable but the bathroom needed a proper clean.

Pre-Christmas dinner with work colleagues, so menu choice geared to turkey, ham or fish (salmon). I chose soup to start and turkey for main. Good size portions, but food was rather bland. This is a good pub for drinking, but not the best for eating (in my opinion).

We have eaten here before and decided to return as we were visiting Chichester again for a shopping trip. Food , service and atmosphere good and prices reasonable. Recommended.

Pub with accommodation, the room we had was small but clean and tidy. It could have done with a makeover and spruce up but was good value, the room was cleaned to a high standard each morning. The pub is detached from the accommodation and there was no noise from the pub.The breakfast, included was excellent and fresh cooked to order.The staff were a 10 out of 10 without exception. All were attentive,very helpful with local information and suggestions of places to visit. Overall a very pleasant few days.
