The George & Dragon in Epping Forest

Good choice of food, everything we had was really delicious. Served quickly but not rushed. Friendly & helpful staff, nice atmosphere.

Nina was lovely and very friendly. Service was very quick and food was fantastic! Will definitely be going back for some cocktails!

Another fabulous afternoon spent at The George & Dragon, Epping. A great all rounder. Welcoming, friendly, comfortable, clean. A great buzzy atmosphere as it got busier. The five of us all enjoyed our food chosen from the great value set lunch menu. Fish and chips, steak sandwich, gammon steak, egg and chips, goat’s cheese salad. All lovely, fresh and very tasty Fantastic attentive service from Nina and helper, who went out of their way to make sure we were looked after. Look forward to our return

We had reserved a room for a pre-wedding dinner for 21 people, the staff were excellent, especially Ioana, who looked after us. She made sure to keep the food warm for us as some of our group were delayed, she prepared a special table for the happy couple and even had their names on a screen. It was a fantastic evening and we even rebooked the same room for Sunday lunch!

Just two staff, Ioana & Luke, running the dining rooms. Both were so, so helpful and couldn’t have been more attentive. Superb service!

Ioana was an amazing host! Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere (yummy wine too), we will definitely be coming back, especially after a glimpse of their festive menu!

Great to see not 1 but 2 vegan options on main menu!

Stopped by for some lunch today, and the food was delicious. As a group of 3, we had clean plates all round. We were served by the lovely Nina, who is a credit to this pub. So welcoming and kind, this type of service is hard to come by. We'll be back 🙂

Lovely little pub and the foods always surprisingly good

Went for a lovely meal here the food was absolutely beautiful but the service we recieved from Ioana was amazing, she went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely time. we didnt need to wait long for anything and nothing was to much trouble shes an absolute credit to your restaurant staff Thank you for a wonderful evening Ioana.

A place I loved going to in 1987, a superb pub, with lots of good memories and I hope to come to this place one day.

Beth was absolutely amazing! She was attentive and kind throughout our visit and her drink recommendations were spot on! The gin she served me was lovely and exactly what I wanted! I will 100% be coming again 🫶

Ioana was a lovely waitress, so welcoming and pleasant. She went above and beyond for us. The family will definitely be returning.

Ioana was absolutely lovely. Made us feel very welcome and the service was fantastic.

Ioana was fantastic - very helpful, warm and friendly. She could not do any more for us!

We had a wonderful birthday dinner - thanks to Ioana for great service.

Ioana was a great host, very friendly! The food was fantastic - huge portion of chips :)

Ioana was great, found us a table fast on a busy Friday night.

Ioana was really friendly and quick. Great place To chill

Thank you to ioana for the amazing service .

Came with a large group today and ioana was amazing. Thanks :)

Cannot fault this place! Amazing food and service. Ioana our server was so lovely, and took her time to explain the menu and accommodate our requests. We had the steak and it was soooo juicy and tender. Brownie and creme brûlée were a hit too. As was the sticky chicken starter. Highly recommend!

Ioana was excellent in her customer service

Fantastic service here from Ioana, who served our table in a friendly and clear way and managed to remember all of our food and drink orders without writing anything down! Fantastic!!

Service was good! Friendly n efficient. Food was delicious n beautifully presented. I highly recommend

We regularly visit The George and Dragon as it’s a local pub. Excellent service as always from Ioana! The food is always served with a great taste and a wide selection of foods. Ioana always makes sure customers are well looked after. A credit to our local pub.

Very friendly . Very polite young girl behind the counter ( bar )

Iona has always been lovely whenever our book club comes over. She’s very helpful and welcoming ☺️

I came in for dinner after work, food was lovely, got quick and friendly service from Ioana,Henry and Jade and had lovely cocktails to follow,always have a good night here

Lovely meal, served by Iona, great service and atmosphere

Went to dinner and was asked about allergies. The chef amended a dish to suit, but unfortunately, it was not as both I and the chef anticipated. The dish was exchanged for a delicious fish dish at no additional charge. The waiter was attentive and very friendly. To top it all, they reduced the bill, too, even though there was no need to. Excellent food with fantastic service. Highly recommend

Very good service from ioana, food was delicious.

Had Nina as a sever. Absolutely amazing and lovely server. I wish we all had a Nina in our life.

Nina was amazing serving us and asking about allergies. Great experience with great food and good service. Lovely lunch

Large local pub with great staff.

We had a lovely lunch - great food, excellent service. Iona is super happy, chatty and helpful. We will be back!

We had an enjoyable afternoon with excellent service. Certainly will recommend to friends.

Thanks to Ioana for the lovely service!

Had a fabulous time at the Taylor swift themed bottomless brunch! Entertainment was great, food and drink were great and service was lovely. Beth organised a lovely afternoon! Would 100% recommend and would definitely return for events in future. Thank you!!

This was a Last min booking…. Table was ready straight away. Amazing food and even better service thank you Ioana! We will definitely be back x

Iona was brilliant. Couldn't fault her service. The food was also great. However the rest of the servers weren't good. Food didn't come out on time. There was a used tissue stuffed in the ketchup bottle and they wouldn't let use move table even though one of us had a bad back and there were lots of better chairs available. Not a hard request considering we spent nearly £300.

I had a lovely time good food and amazing service from Ioana

Lovely stop on our way home from France with the family. Managed to squeeze 9 of us in for food last min! Ioana served us and was very attentive and welcoming.

We had the most wonderful time, the service was amazing. The host IDANA remembered every single order without pen or paper perfectly, I was amazed, she is a true hostess and 5 star waitress. She is better than silver service . Totally professional, fun, friendly and perfect . She needs to win waitress of the year for sure! Me and my family loved our experience here

Great service. Ioana was excellent nothing was too much trouble

Great restaurant with amaizing staff , loana is always smiling and friendly ,food good as always I will always came back .

The food was brilliant and has been every time we have come here, there was a small issue with the order but Ioana was amazing and sorted it very quick

Ioana was fantastic and very friendly and welcoming. She provided my child with colouring pencils and picture to keep him entertained. Highly recommend

Spent a lovely evening here, food was nice and Nina was brilliant! She was very attentive, friendly and gave a fantastic service!

Sunday roast. Great food, bubbly waitress but the tall barman was quite rude to us, both my husband and I noticed it. We were only going to ask about our table booking but he blanked us, then was really offhand. Maybe he was having a bad day but not what you do in hospitality. He could just have said 'Sorry I will be with you in a minute'. UPDATE: In their defence, they got back to me but have no wish to get anyone into trouble so prefer not to help them identify him. He may have been having an off day.

Perfect Sunday roast. Food tasted amazing, kids portion were also a good size. Their trio meat option was perfect. Only reason for dropping a star was gravy was quite watery. Free Parking available but we didn't know so parked in nearby council office car park. Beautiful pub nestled in the high street. Lovely inside but the outside needs a little bit of work. Overall I would recommend for a great place to eat with the family.

First time I’d been here and lunch was fantastic. Food was excellent, waiting staff attentive and friendly and a lovely pub atmosphere. Will definitely return

Our local football club meet here regularly- Epping Foresters FC. We are always well looked after by Iona and her team. Great Vibe.

Busy pub, pretty good food but not amazing. Does the job! Parking round the back (high street is busy)

Jack, Jade, Hollie and Charlie absolutely exceptional service. Such a great amazing team. Food cooked by William was tasty too. Dream team!!!!

had an absolutely beautiful meal (seafood linguine) and a wonderful server, Ioana. 10/10 defo coming back here

Food was delicious and hot. Our server Ioana was friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend

There is nothing worse than leaving your home for a dining experience and leaving the restaurant disappointed. The experience was odd, with some staff members seeming disinterested. On arrival, we were kindly advised that we had the option to sit indoors or outdoors, with the advice being to notify staff so they could clean the table. The restaurant appeared to be busy so this was not done, understandably however due to how busy the restaurant was. We notified another staff member who then cleaned a completely different table. I informed a 3rd staff member following this who kindly and promptly asked a colleague to give the table a wipe. However, the staff member proceeded to spray cleaning product onto the table and onto us, there was no real apology, instead we were informed it was, ‘only sanitizer’ as if this made it acceptable. Ultimately, whilst the food was decent the odd customer service made tarred the experience as a whole.

Food was fantastic and Ioana our waitress was fantastic. So helpful, friendly and constantly checking to make sure we were ok or needed anything.

Amazing staff, especially Iona , she really was amazing!

Iona was so lovely and welcoming! Went above and beyond. Great service. Highly recommend.
