The George & Dragon in Aylesbury Vale

Great cycling stop good food, cake and coffee

We took my parents here for Mother's Day lunch and it was fabulous!! My starter of goats cheese and avocado was really exceptional, and according to my parents, the duck croquettes were 10/10! The roast was as good as ever, with an amazing selection of vegetables. Lemon posset for dessert was delicious, and both my mum and I were given flowers at the end, which just made it perfect. Staff were efficient and super friendly too.

Really great meal overall and will definitely be back!

Mother's day meal, squeezed us in when we booked late, tons of food expertly cooked, puddings massive. Bit of class at the end, supplied kids with flower bouquet to give to mum and mother in-law afterwards, great stuff. Staff friendly and happy! Couldn't ask for more. Well done Big George and crew👍👍👍 got me bonus mother's day points!

I visited the George and dragon for Sunday lunch for Mother’s Day! The beef was beautifully cooked, best roast dinner I have had! Along with the chocolate mousse for desert!! To top off the amazing food, the staff were even better, very warm and friendly which makes the experience even better! When provided with the bill my mum was gifted with a lovely bouquet of flowers. A lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Cannot recommend the George and dragon enough!

Lucky to have this pub in our village. The Sunday lunches are great, the meat is from the local butchers, a great choice of veg and decent yorkshires, what more could you want! George and his team are superb, all the staff are super friendly, and make you feel welcome. Thank you for keeping our pub open and making it into a great place to enjoy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A fabulous Sunday for the family. Maybe the best roast beef we've ever had actually..... The pork was super too. But I think possibly even more important... the service. Great staff, friendly and smiling, bringing lovely food to our table. You know... that the staff know.... . that the food is good. Nice vegetable selection with the Sunday roast, with an offer of more if we needed it. Cauli cheese and some good red cabbage magic, along with the carrots and brocoli and swede. And a HUGE Yorky with a roast slice of parsnip! It's what makes Sunday... Sunday. Thanks George and Dragon. A lovely Sunday lunch for our family.

Just the perfect place for a meal. The food was ‘Michelin’ style - it was the best meal I’ve had out for a long long time. A nice small, cosy restaurant with very welcoming staff. Add it to your ‘must go to restaurant’ if you’re in the area!

We had a fantastic supper at the G and D. Superb sirloin and dauphinoise, perfectly cooked and extremely tasty. George, the chef, had planned a tasty and exciting menu for Valentines. We look forward to going back soon.

Popped in for a drink and a bite to eat with friends. The G&D is under new management from a local man who trained in the London restaurants as a chef…. Wow!! One of the best steaks I’ve had and a lovely selection of beers to go with it. Thanks for having us! We will definitely be back. This was not our first visit to the pub but our first visit under new management

A great pub in the heart of Quainton by the green. It has a good selection of Ales at the bar for a great price, it also does amazing food.

Great food. Warm friendly welcome. Lovely positon on the Green in Quainton.

Absolutely lovely village pub with great views and super service. Excellent choice of meals and does a great Sunday Roasts. Lovely to see a good range of beverages particularly Ales. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. The coffee shop is also excellent serving hot meals, choice of sandwiches and lovely coffee - if you’re in the area or passing through the coffee shop and pub are a must visit!

Lovely little pub cosy atmosphere friendly staff good company

What a find! Next to the pub, and such a good idea. Fast and efficient service. Very tasty food. Perfect for a weary walker, or even one who had been simply sliding around in the mud.

We enjoyed a great work Christmas do this weekend. The pub has recently come under new management and the team really surpassed all expectations. The food was all delicious - but the salmon starter was heavenly! We will definitely be back.

Great breakfast, lovely little place

Great Friday night dinner. New management. Great food and selection of beers and wines. Friendly service. Great atmosphere

The george is an excellent friendly comfortable Pub with lovely surroundings in fact a great village pub in Quainton. We had a family catch up lunch and the customer service was wonderful all way through food fantastic and good choice especially the pies very filling and tasty so was my scampi. I would highly recommend this pub to all.

Very nice little cafe with very friendly staff. Outdoor seating is ample.

what a lovely place, so many hidden seating areas if you want to be on your own. Staff were amazing, food (buffet) was gorgeous and the tea and coffee flowed well (as did the guinness). what a hidden gem this place is

I only use the café when I call in during my cycle rides. Fantastic sandwiches. Friendly staff. Café attached to the pub. Courtyard and area on the green opposite to eat and drink.

We stopped for tea and a toasted teacake before visiting the windmill.

Been coming here for over 7 years and it never ceases to amaze me. Great food, reasonable prices, staff friendlyness and always tidy and clean

Stopped off for Sunday roast lunch and a couple of beers, very good indeed. Roast pork was so tasty, as was the chocolate sponge pudding. Good selection of beers too. Good and friendly service from staff.

Nice cafe for a break on a day out during the weekend. Nice selection of warm food, drinks and cakes.

Had a lovely meal Xmas eve.Attentive service and lovely meals.

Stopped for lunch during cycle ride, lovely food and good service

Lady who served us was extremely unfriendly, obviously a bad day for her!! 3 very small drinks, one of which was a can of coke, £10, crazy! We are fairly local and will not be returning. Shame as the pub itself is nice. Plastic cups too!

Popped into the cafe for a breakfast, which was a proper full English: the usual suspects (bangers, beans, bacon etc.), plus the less-often seen grilled tomato, fried bread and black pudding. Friendly service, and a decent cup of tea. Upstairs was a welcoming place to enjoy brekkie with a view over the village green.

Love this pub...praying it remains in village to the villagers....cosy, calm friendly pub and village xx

Good food, nice view small village resturant. Must visit

Super cafe, great local beers and food trucks visit at the weekends.

Always good for a coffee and cake.

Out cycling. Perfect drop in to graze and move on quickly. Set amongst the most beautiful countryside. Good food, ideal location.

Good coffee and sarnie today. Loads of cyclists, a good place to stop.

Nice cafe . Lovely place to Eat

Great pub, restaurant and coffee shop and nice people to

Smashing little coffee shop that stocks extra cycling bits! Amazing to see this.

Nice friendly place - a cafe with cakes and sandwiches appended to a regular pub - perfect for sitting on the green with coffee and sandwiches.

Best coffee around and great friendly staff. Not to mention the beauty of the village green and surrounding area. A perfect pick-up for me during a visit from New Zealand back to my birthplace ❤️

Staff were so kind filling my water bottle when I was out walking with friends - we returned later to enjoy a super pot of tea and gorgeous ice creams!

Poor selection of real ales only the local Vale brewery which is not nice and overpriced. Thought that I can't go wrong with a pint of Guiness at £6!!!! But I was wrong, not well kept. We used to use this pub a lot, sadly not any more.

Great service and fantastic people

A real pub. Friendly staff. Good beer

Good coffee and cake stop for cyclists

Very friendly staff really nice surroundings nice outside seating area and just a good experience in a very tiny village, good to see a classic country pub open and busy for a change

English breakfast in the cycling cafe was superb, friendly efficient and professional.

Friendly staff excellent food great value for money

Love this place so much. Banging sandwiches and the staff are super friendly!!! Defo recommend. Great pub too.

The food was really tasty and the staff friendly and helpful

Very nice and clean. Helpful staff. Lovely food in large amounts. Good value.

Coffee and cake today. Pleasant staff. Loads of seating outside

Really nice place to stop for a tea and cake when out cycling

Everything we read on here for this place is true!! We went on a visit to Buckinghamshire steam railway! Great fun. Then I had read about this place so we drove around the corner and popped in. Even though we hadn't booked and it was a Sunday lunchtime they were so lovely and helpful and found us a table. Our 4 &5 yr olds loved their fishfingers meal. Our roasts were amazing!! The desserts were soo good!! Very kind, attentive, friendly staff. Can't wait to go back!

Lovely place for coffee and cake

Friendly staff and tasty milkshakes. Best of all you can sit in the warm summer sunshine on the green and enjoy food and drinks there.

A good cafe if you're cycling in the area.

I'd like to say thanks to G&D cafe staff for looking after me today. Turning up for lunch at 3.58pm when they close at 4.00pm it pushing it but no problem, blt sandwich, coffee and cake. Courtyard table, no rush to leave, thank you from a tired hungry cyclist.

Loved this. Stopped here as part of a ride and the service was excellent. Great food at a reasonable price

Cycle to the cafe quiet regular. Great for a stop off and sit on the green. Great coffee and wide range of foods to choose from.

An awesome place. Beautiful village cafe, great people, good food. Run don't just walk to get ahead of the Q!

Nice environment...the Cornish Pasty was one of the best I ever had! The cappuccino was to hot initially which meant the coffee as burnt, but didn't detract from the overall experience! Would recommend and will be going back!

we were there with a party of pensioners, we were looked after very well , food good and good service.

Really nice cafe with outdoor space, some of it covered. Nice food at a good price and great service.

Excellent service food was really hot nothing was too much trouble for the Staff

Great sandwich and coffee stop in Quainton. Covered benches were great as we stopped during a shower. Young staff were good too

Pop in here fairly regularly for a coffee on a cycle ride, staff always happy to help, decent coffee and a good selection of homemade cakes and bakes. Also have sandwiches, crisps and chocolate bars. Bonus for cyclists, I was told today by a fellow cyclist who unfortunately had a puncture, that they have a free to use track pump, handy to know!

It was the first hot chocolate drink I've had that was HOT and tasted lovely. I will return.

Pub and shop Nice place, lots of lycra on show, not a pleasant sight.

Lovely range of takeout for lunchtime during lockdown 🍰

A lovely family restaurant. Very nice and cosy inside.

Delicious take away lasagne. Phoned order through for a set pick up time.

I just had breakfast.with friends. Great

Always a decent selection of ales, nice atmosphere and green to enjoy your drink

Great people, fab coffee. Generous indoor and outside seating. Very popular destination. Stop for lunch and coffee, tue to sun.

Yummy coffee and cake. Gluten free cake options available. 👌

Can't wait for three pub to reopen for 'proper' lunches!

Lovely pub. Tables have been put on the Green to give everyone more space re social distancing. Great way to spend a hot Summer evening

Great place to stop for coffee and cake during a bike ride. They're good at keeping the social distance thing going.

i came here with a group of friends for a post Christmas get together on the recommendation of one of them. After a lovely pint I ordered the baked camembert which was ok and then ordered the Pork belly which was disappointing. .it was clear this dish was cooked in a bain marie as the cracking was soft and watery and had not been finished in a pain. The mustard mash tasted lovely but was cold which added to a disappointing meal. having said that the portion sizes were large and plentiful even for the largest appetite. A shame as the pub didn't live up to the hype by my friend.

We were visiting the area and found this amazing and unique looking pub. We didn't book and but was able to get a table. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and warm. I had a starter and main sadly I was too full to try the desserts but I would definitely recommend and would love to go back soon. Thank you.

Just returned home and dried off from a long bike ride in wet and windy conditions and am delighted to report that our half way stop at the George & Dragon was a massive bright spot in a tough day. Cakes were delicious, cappuccino good and service excellent and very friendly.

Great little pub. Went for a family birthday. Good quality food, efficient & friendly service. Would happily go back.

Unfortunately my beef sandwich was a big disappointment as it was almost impossible to bite in to. I had to leave a lot. This was not up to their usual high standards.

Rally friend village pub, serviing real ales, excellent pub food, very friendly and courtese staff, our Morris side dances here every year and a wonderful evening is had by all.

Great food and lovely atmosphere

I was in two minds about writing a review because it is a small and busy place and whilst I want them to do well, I also want to be able to get in for more lovely breakfasts. I haven't tried the pub, only the cafe next door that is part of it and is open before the pub. I've been a few times now with my wife and two year old. The food is great, service is prompt and friendly. There is an outdoor seating area that has a little shed with kids ride on cars in it. It gets pretty busy with local walkers and cyclists and parking is limited. They also sell produce from a local butchers and the meat is great. I really do love this place on a sunny Sunday morning. It's only a stone's throw from the windmill and a few minutes drive to the railway so it's a great place to stop off on the way to either or both.

Beer is well kept, good choice of food and helpful staff.

Excellent food, friendly staff and an overall brilliant dining experience. I only went into the restraint half mind you but I'm sure the bar half is just as good.

Had a lovely lunch at this beautiful place, the staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely go back.

Fantastic place. Very reasonably priced. Great selection of food and drink. Where else can you sit outside a pub and admire a windmill across the road. Will definitely be back. Thank you

This pub has a lovely village atmosphere, is clean and welcoming, the staff are friendly and helpful and overall it's a lovely place to be. We've returned for each of our anniversary meals and we'll continue to do so.

Stopped in the tea room during a bike ride. Friendly staff and great cakes!

Coffee just gets worse....soya latte curdled and flat white like a Nescafé freeze dried. Shame

Perfect, as always. Wonderful staff, food good.

Great food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. We had burger and chips. Great price, lovely quality food (the burger was from a local butcher) and huge portions. We’ll be back and we’ll visit the cafe too. A smashing little pub, love it!

Great little café, tables outside if weather good. Yummy Eccles cakes

We ordered something simple to eat. Cyclists that arrived after us had their breakfast before us. No table numbers nearly lost our poached egg on toast to a cyclist who arrived after us despite it coming iut with my food. Loud moaning from her that we pinched her food. Despite us ordereing before them. My toast totally burnt and uneatable. Can only assume kitchen too busy cooking for all the cyclists to care about too bits of toast. I am still astounded that a kitchen sent it out so burnt and expected someone to eat it I did try and it nearly broke my teeth. Would rather put the butter on my self instead it was already buttered. The amount of extremly loud cyclists and the food is enough to make me not return despite coming through everyday.

Delicious meal + always friendly service + exceptiional pub food - Thank you!
