The George & Dragon in Lancaster

Lovely village pub with a great food menu. The portions are good the food we chose was delicious all freshly home made. Absolutely no complaints. Good place for all families , and they have plenty of games to keep the children occupied.

We all had a really great night. Good choice of dishes both in the menu and on the specials board. Food was delicious and presented beautifully. Generous portions, really enjoyed the variety of fresh vegetables. Waitress was very attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Friendly welcoming landlady and locals. Would definitely return.

We had been to this pub several times in the past, always taking friends and as a whole having a great meal in what i would describe as, comfortable surroundings. Unfortunately our latest visit differed. Though the meal was lovely the atmosphere was as cold as the room we ate in. There was no heating which didn't help the cold room. I asked the landlady if she could put the fire on, but she refused. We were forced to eat our meal shivering, sat in our outer coats. I don't think it is unreasonable to eat in comfort, something you cannot do when you are shivering. I complained to the waitress about the cold in which I am led to believe she informed the landlady, to no avail. We had travelled with friends a substantial way to re live the great experiences we had in the past. Sadly, apart from the food we got none of it. We will not return again.

Had a lovely meal here while staying in the area on holiday. Prices are very fair and service is good. Parking is on the street outside and we maanaged to get a space without a problem. Would recommend this pub to anyone who wants a good meal in a friendly establishment.

Some of the best food ever and good portions as well. Restaurant food at pub prices, We couldn't fault it, wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. Very friendly definitely be back.

Visited 14th of February with my partner and my parents for a family valentines meal. We’ve been coming to the George and Dragon for years but haven’t been since before Covid so thought it’d be a nice change. It really was as good as always and so lovely to have hearty home made meals, considering one chef works alone you really really can’t complain, he doesn’t fantastic job! The food is hot, tasty, filling and overall just 10/10. The pub itself it’s a little outdated but we think this adds to the character of the place, as long as you’re not materialistic or snobby you’ll appreciate the quirk 😊 The lady behind the bar who I’m assuming is the owner/landlord was lovely so I’m not entirely sure what the previous review is on about, she welcomed us and showed us to our table, even making space for our two dogs (dog friendly). Any time after that we spoke to her she was accommodating and always smiley. The young blonde girl waiting on was a lovely server and a great addition to the place, really polite and friendly. Such a homely, traditional pub and great value for money: 3 starters, 4 mains, 1 side dish, 2 desserts, 3 cokes, 2 pints and a bottle of wine all for just over £100, bargain! We will definitely be coming again 😊 thank you!

Very unfriendly landlady. Not banter, no smiles, food ok, presentation lets it down. The only good thing I can say is the young lad serving. I think his name is George.

Amazing home cooked food in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. A lovely small village pub on the main street in Wray. We came in during the scarecrow festival and had a quick bite but also wanted to experience the village life when the village was not as busy. (Scarecrow week is really busy when the world descends on the village - don’t let the other reviews put you off as they paint a blinkered picture!). So we visited the following week too and had a lovely afternoon, finished off with a nice gammon and chips. My wife was undecided about her choice so the landlady recommended the Salmon and it was well received. Great recommendation and we’ll be going back next time we are in the area. The beer garden looks stunning in the sun, and the aviary will keep the kids busy too!

Just had a lovely family time round the Wray scarecrows festival with our dogs. Wanted to go somewhere to eat so went to George and Dragon since it is dog friendly. Began in the beer garden but moved inside. No sooner had we sat down than one of the bar staff came over said are you eating, before we could answer she removed the dining implements. Never felt so unwelcome so we finished our drinks and left. Not an experience we will repeat at that pub!

We had a wonderful meal here. We had lamb Henry and scampi both were gorgeous with proper homemade chips. Very good value for money. Highly recommend.

Typical old English pub in a lovely little village with lots of character and a great little garden to the rear. We recently stayed in the area and visited the pub twice. Found it to be excellent value and really friendly hosts. They had finished serving meals, but accommodated us anyway and we had the most delicious fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely return if in the area .

Amazing food this evening I had the lamb Henry with the worlds best mash!! My husband has the mussels with chorizo which was also so good!! We will definitely be back! Finally found a local which serves good food!

Called in as the husband fancied a pint. The food smelt so good we extended our stay. Best scampi and chips since I had them in Whitby. The home Made chips really are excellent. Will definitely be returning!

Our wonderful local pub. A family run business at the heart of the community. Food is great and specials are always served. Fish Fridays too. Best onion rings in Lancashire!

What a lovely traditional and welcoming pub, our first time visiting and we can't wait to return, amazing garden to sit and bask in the sun, plenty of room for the kids to play and lovely staff who make you feel welcomed. We didn't eat, but judging by the other reviews I wish we had! We will be coming back soon

We visited at the end of the season but they were still offering wonderful home cooked food. Waiting staff and landlady really nice and the beer was in good condition. Well worth a visit!

This venue is very popular and based on the quality of the food you can see why. It has lots of seating inside and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. The food service was quick and efficient and the food good quality and reasonably priced. If it’s good food and a cask beer you want this is the place to visit.

We met up with some friends for a lunch and the food was exceptional and extremely good value for money. The pub has a lovely garden and very pleasant staff. We were looking for somewhere to meet within easy reach of the M6 and I would strongly recommend making this your destination if you are seeking likewise.

We visited this pub for a meal this evening and felt we needed to write a review about how good the food was! I had the sea food pasta - amazing, equal quality of an Italian restaurant. The children had meals from the children’s menu which were great value and quality! The chicken nuggets actually looked like chicken, a rarity with children’s meals. They even had a little corner with some toys and books for the children and some more traditional board games for the adults. Overall a lovely evening and an excellent place to have a drink and most definitely a meal.

We visited here after being let down by a pub near our site. We were feeling a bit down hearted and hungry! We arrived and were welcomed and shown through to the beer garden and wow what a surprise! Absolutely beautiful garden with room for children to play and an aviary full of beautiful birds! The service was amazing and so friendly. The food was on another level and the portions were gigantic! It felt as though all the food was made by someone who loved what they were doing. Even our dog got a bowl of water and a yummy treat. We were so impressed we wanted to add a decent tip on our bill but the lady would not accept it and instead asked us to return in the future. This tells us they are running this place for all the right reasons! We will definitely be returning when we next stay nearby in July and recommending it to friend and family! Thank you!

Had a Sunday evening tea either family and the food was lovely, amazing chips!!! Very generous portions and great service. The landlady was very accommodating, we had booked inside but she made it possible for us to sit outside until our food was ready as the weather was good. Will definitely be returning when I need a break from cooking tea!!

Loved this out of the way hostelry with its large beer garden. Friendly staff, really tasty home made food, and they offer takeaway fish and homemade chips (proper chips, not frozen), on a Thursday. If you have kids, they'll enjoy the large garden with an aviary, play area, goal, and views over the fields. Its a lovely place and well worth a visit.

Friendly and polite landlady and staff. Good beer. Scampi and home made chips are delicious. Will return.

Our first visit. Busy early on but much quieter later. Typical pub food menu, nicely cooked, sizeable portions, good service and reasonable prices.

Went here on our third night in the area and weren't disappointed. Good COVID-19 planning and the service good and attentive. Good was home cooked and lovely. The salad with my scampi was really fresh and plentiful. My partner had the nut roast which was also very large and moist and tasty. Great little village pub and find

Situated in the lovely village of Wray - a classic village pub - unchanged in decades. Serves authentic English ‘country food ‘ - wholesome and delicious!

We called in without booking and were served a top quality Sunday roast despite the understaffed kitchen having to deal with a large pre booked group in this not so large establishment. Delicious food served under pressure, the marque of a great establishment. Very happy to rate as a 5* experience and equally happy to recommend. Oh yes and...Gravy to die for.

Good food and a selection of good drinks staff are very friendly... and sometimes has themed nights on on one recommend it

We had an evening meal here. The food on the whole was good but my partner had the cashew nut roast - served luke warm (but rectified) but dense and tasteless. My steak pie (closest description) was pretty good and the sticky toffee pudding was excellent.

Popped in as staying local, good food, good prices and huge portions and better still the dog could join us and she even got a treat too.

This is our local which is a very traditional village pub with very good ‘pub grub’. The food is always well cooked from a tiny kitchen by Neil the owner and there is always a good specials board with interesting choices. There is sometimes a bit of a delay for the food to arrive but the chef is doing all this alone. This is a great place to go for an informal, delicious, and realistically priced meal.

You don't come across many pubs like this any more. Very traditional in its decoration - as much like an old school golf club as anything.. our server was absolutely charming throughout and the food was very good indeed and ambitious in places though my partridge was a little dry. The children's menu was excellent. There was about 11 of us so not easy especially when the village was preparing for its scarecrow festival- as we drove in people had to raise the bunting so we could pass.Would love to go back..

Called in on bank holiday Monday, really friendly welcome. Traditional pub.. how I remember from childhood. Good selection of local ales, piping hot chips. All staff we spoke to were really friendly, and the chips nearly beat me back to the table. Perfect place to warm up and re group after a walk round the beautifull village. Will definitely be back when visiting Wray again

We had a mid-week birthday meal here. A really good meal in all respects. Food was hot and delicious. An extensive menu made decision making a little difficult ! Sue and Neil couldn't have been more helpful considering there were nine of us including two babies and a toddler. A good range of decent beers too. Good value for money. A proper pub with no blaring music/noise or TV. A rarity it seems these days. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!

The George & Dragon could be the food find of the year! Do not be put off by the dingy interior, here in lies culinary delights! A substantial menu to choose from, with a lot of traditional choices. My father, who’s 91, generally orders what he’d like, eats half, then passes it to my husband to finish as he “doesn’t like to waste food”. On this occasion they both ordered Lamb Henry with new potatoes and veg. (£13.45) And quite frankly, I’ve never seen my dad eat a full plate of food for years! He even joked about needing a slice of bread to mop up the gravy! I ordered the cashew nut roast with chips. (£8.95)To break it down even more, the Lamb Henry’s meat just fell off the bone and was served on its own in a succulent deep, rich gravy. The cashew nut roast consisted of two slices, jam packed full of nuts, served with a side jug of delicious onion gravy. Both the vegetables (red cabbage, carrots, cauliflower and new potatoes) and the rustic (skin on) handcut chips came in their own dishes.All hot! All cooked to perfection! Desserts, well, who wouldn’t!? A separate menu for a great selection of puds and cakes, so I’m presuming these will change often. (?)We had two bread and butter puddings with custard and a chocolate torte with ice cream. I shared with my dad and swapped half way through, mainly because he had never tried a torte & at his age why not try new stuff! Goodness me, satisfied just wouldn’t do it all justice! AMAZING FOOD! We all commented on how the inside could do with a tidy up but it’s clean, warm, the service was excellent, all at a very reasonable price. And, did I mention just how good the food was?

This is our local and a family favourite. Neil is a great cook and Su an excellent host. Food is fantastic pub grub with some more gastronomic specials. Definitely get a pudding too.

We visited the George during the scarecrow festival and said we would return. As we were staying near by we decided to go for something to eat .Friendly pub ,with good selection of beers. Food was very good, must recommended the muscles we had from the special,s board they were excellent.

The food & service was absolutely outstanding. I had roast beef & my partner had lamb Henry, both cooked to perfection. Will definitely making a return visit

We have a caravan nearby so have driven through Wray frequently over the past couple of years and also visited the Scarecrow festival twice. The pub has always hovered on the horizon but we have never managed a stop off. Today we finally managed it and we were not disappointed. We chose the roast beef which was perfect, accompanied by a freshly cooked selection of vegetables, the gravy was delicious. Service was prompt and friendly with no wait. We finished with home made apple and blackberry crumble which i can only describe as heaven on a plate! I would highly recommend this establishment and will definitely be visiting again.

Visited on wed evening at 17:45 after seeing such good reviews on here. Hosts unwelcoming due to party of 6 adults and 2 children. Told we should have booked (4 other people in restaurant when we arrived). Felt an inconvenience from when we arrived. Once seated, told we couldn’t sit outside as only one waitress working, no apologies made. Waited an hour for our meal. Understood from host that all food made from scratch so could understand the wait. Food was fine for price, but didn’t live up to expectations after reading previous reviews on here. Mostly the issue remained that we were treated like we were an inconvenience. Given so many pubs in the area then we wouldn’t go back. Sorry to leave a negative review as were really looking forward to a good meal in a friendly atmosphere, and this is not what we received.

Visited for lunch during the scarecrow festival. Very pleasant service and good quality pub grub at a good price. despite concerns regarding speed of service none experienced with food being delivered very promptly. The drinks were also good quality. Recommend for lunch if visiting Wray.

We ate here over the weekend and we were very impressed indeed. As a family we were celebrating an 82nd and a 30th birthday. We were asked to submit our meal choices a week earlier as there were 12 of us. This we did and the service and standard of food we received was excellent. We were a mixed party of 8 adults and 4 children but the staff here were exceptional. Highly recommended by us all.

As a previous employee of this pub I am going to be a little bias. But from my neutral position I consider the food here to be absolutely world class. The chef is an absolute gentleman and he was extremely kind to me during my time here and I learnt a lot from him which I will never forget.

Good atmosphere in this 'local's pub. There were four of us eating and all the meals were well cooked and delicious. An enjoyable evening and helped by the excellent friendly service. Recommended and would go back again

Around 5 fish specials plus standard menu. Selected Whole Turbot, Lemon Sole and Sea Bream. Very busy with reserved tables and locals around the bar. need to book.

Staff were amazingly welcoming - especially to our childen (4 and 2). Friendly, good food, and a lovely atmosphere. Would recommend for sure.

Popped in for the Sunday lunch for Father's Day. Excellent selection of drinks and fantastic freshly cooked restaurant quality food. All this in a nice, relaxed and friendly traditional pub.

Called for lunch after seeing good reviews online. All I need to say is that the shared starter of mussels were absolutely delicious, and my wifes Razzled steak, and my Lamb henry were the best ever. I could go on about the food quality and the lovely people that own the place, but I will simply say GO and see for yourself. 6 out of 5!!!

We called here for lunch on our way to the Dales. We were amazed at the quality and quantity of the food. My husband's " Razzled steak" would have served 3 people ! My tomato and celery soup was delicious. Highly recommended if you're in the area.

We visited during the Scarecrow Festival. This is a traditional pub which serves good food. We enjoyed our fish and chips. We had been exploring the village, finding all the scarecrows and they were very good. We needed a drink in the pub to recover from our explorations and we enjoyed our visit to the pub and the village of Wray. I liked the Traditional Tales theme of the Festival and it gave rise to a wide variety of scarecrows. They were all watched over by an enormous lady scarecrow in a flowing green dress. A good annual event with a chance to enjoy a visit to this pub as well.

Its a pity this pub doesn't extend its opening hours during the scarecrow festival as we had to wait around for the pub to open. It caters for everyone - weather permitting has a good beer garden and serves good beers , and caters for those who don't want just a beer.....not the cheapest food , but good specials.

Visited here for lunch whilst visiting Wray for the scarecrow festival,quick service,varied menu,and friendly staff.The food was excellent,fresh and plentiful,would definately recommend,main meals average £8.50p,well worth it .

Our local pub and what a great place it is as well. Beer = Great. Food = fantastic. Service = Great. Beer garden = superb (when the weather permits). We love this place and it serves our village well. Fantastic.

I have been to the George and Dragon several times since the current chef, Neil Taplin, took over several years ago, and it never disappoints. From the delicious ciabattas to the roast dinners to the pub classics like scampi and chips, you can't go wrong. They also have free WiFi, ad children's toys to keep everyone happy. This is a traditional pub full of locals, with a lovely big beer garden for those sunny days. Great food and great service!

The Lamb Henry is enough protein for a week. You can’t get this quality of food at these prices anywhere else in the Lune Valley or beyond. You get a friendly welcome, excellent service and great food. It is fine dining at cheap-eat prices

Every time we go to Wray to visit family , we always try to go into the George and Dragon , even if it's just for a drink .Always very welcoming and the food is great , Neil is very accommodating with regards to meal choices .

We're always met with a friendly welcome at the George n Dragon and the food and service are fantastic! The array of beers on tap are kept well - makes you want to come back for more!

Nice surroundings - dog friendly owners - take a walk around the castle and priory and stop for a glass of wine by the fields - the owners will give you a plastic cup to go out to the grass.

One of the few local pubs that is still independently run by locals and is doing so very successfully. The place is a great bar and restaurant, with good service and incredible food. I've had or tried almost everything on the menu and don't have a bad word to say. Also has a garden with a small field and playing area, and a small avery cage type thing with exotic birds.

In the centre of the village ; real ales to be had - two bars and a separate dining room

Took my two young nieces to see the scarecrows and needed something little for lunch, visited the pub and we werent disappointed, the menu was amended for the tourists due but was perfectly adequate and served quickly with good cheer and in a clean and warm environment.

We visited during the April Scarecrow Festival, so the pub was probably busier than usual but that didn't phase the staff. We both really enjoyed our meal, it was hot and the beef in red wine was delicious. The pub was clean, cosy and traditional, everything a village pub should be, with chatty informative staff who had a smile for us and were very helpful and readily answered questions about the local community. We will definitely return.

A lovely village pub which is always spotless with the brasses polished. With friendly staff and delicious food freshly cooked so you might have to wait a little longer than normal but well worth the wait.

We were recommended to come here by the owner of box tree farm. A lovely homely warm pub with kind helpful staff. The food was delicious both the starters and the mains. Unfortunately we were both too full to try squeeze a desert in. Great recommendation

Absolutely excellent family get together for my 70th birthday at the Golden Dragon Food delicious and service magnificent Staff very friendly and helpful Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their visit

Have been several times recently and will be back soon, a fantastic range of home made meals and real ale, excellent service too

After seeing it from the road passing through we decided to call in for tea.

Have eaten here a few times without realising it didn't have a TripAdvisor listing, so I created one! Nice little pub in a picturesque country village, has a homely feel about the place. Pleasant staff and good, reasonably-priced, classic pub food. Could do with a 'facelift' just to liven the place up a little and its a shame they don't do the full menu during the Wray Scarecrow Festival.
