The George & Dragon in Rutland

Lovely old pub ,staff Lovely food great would definitely visit again

Loved this place..spent our wedding night here. Ate both lunch and evening meal. We were able to choose off the restaurant menu even tho we only wanted starters. 3 starters in the evening was ample and so tasty. Everything we ate was perfect for us. Breakfast was delicious. Staff friendly, helpful. We are already planning to stay again as its also close to Rutland Water and an osprey hide we also visited.

Wonderful Sunday Lunch in a lovely pub with great service

The landlord was great, 12 cyclists turned up unexpectedly and accommodated extremely efficiently. Good food, good beer.

Absolutely excellent food Look forward to another visit as soon as possible

I had an amazing lunch here on Saturday. Loads of parking. Friendly welcome on entry and they set up the dining area just for us. The staff here are fantastic and you can see why people love coming here. We were served by Joe and he was attentive throughout. Making sure the bottles and drinks kept coming. Looking after the kids too. I can’t show you a great selection of the menu as we all had the haddock and chips 🤣 plus some calamari and honey sausages to start. The food was excellent and perfectly cooked. The calamari had a light batter and the sausages a nice layer of honey. So good. There was ice cream and cheesecake (which was so good it was passed around) so definitely try that. Really enjoyed the meal, the ambience and friendliness of the place. Would 100% go back.

We arranged to stop over here on our way back home from Brighton to the North East. We booked direct with them for a double room Including breakfast for £65.00 a night. What value. The room wasn't the biggest but all you need. The food was great from the bar menu, the pub had a restaurant and a pleasant beer garden. They grow most of their fresh vegetables etc. As we checked out in the morning the staff were pulling out rhubarb growing in the beer garden to be put into rhubarb crumble for the menu that night. The location is in a small Rutland Village. The staff are friendly. We will definitely stop here again. Great location to explore Rutland.

Had the best evening here celebrating a friends birthday, service was excellent and the food was amazing would highly recommend for every kind of occasion 💗

Stopped off on the Harringworth Viaduct walk. The service was incredible and there was an excellent range of gluten free and vegan options so we were very happy! Dog friendly in the bar area and an excellent choice of great wines and beers. Very friendly and staff very helpful and really welcoming - particularly when it got busy!

Excellent food, friendly service.

The best pub for a good meal, a good pint, a good fire and good company. A real gem.

Literally the best chips I've had in England

Amazing food, cosy atmosphere and great attentive service.

Absolutely scrumptious lunch. Freshly cooked. Good portion size.

Fantastic village pub. Great food, great drink and great staff.

Stayed here for 3 nights in the stag room & absolutely loved it!! Great hosts & very attentive staff, the food was fabulous & the location was perfect for us as we were looking for peace and quiet to rest and relax and the big bonus for us was the weather full sun all day. 100% would recommend a visit

Amazing location attentive staff and beautiful countryside pub, worth every penny spent there

Beautiful - stayed in Hare Room which was lovely

Really great food , amazing service from staff and lovely atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend here more, Will definitely be back again!

We had a nice lunch here. Very cozy place with fireplace 🔥.

Fantastic find, thanks ollie and ted for your hospitality, highly recommended great price lovely breakfast...

Had a lovely cappuccino after a hike around the area. Friendly staff member and great atmosphere with the regulars. I didn't stay in any rooms hence I didn't put any star review.

Great place to stay with an excellent atmosphere and a great breakfast. I would definitely go back.

Great pub with outstanding food.

Stayed over for a couple of nights. Didn't have a desk in the room which was a pain, but the Sunday supper' (a smaller roast dinner) was to die for. Guinness at £5.50 a pint

Silly to have your business advertised on your car when you are driving like a complete and utter idiot. Hope you have better management skills than driving :) For the driver of the black Range Rover discovery R33 GXD

Lovely overnight stay here. Dining area lovely, food great, service fab

Didn't eat on this occasion but a lovely pub with friendly locals.

A brilliant country pub serving good food, wide range of beer and wine served in or outside. Great rugby playing barman!

Great team. Nice rooms. Beautiful location. Recommended.

Lovely country pub with rooms. We were visiting the area and seeing friends so stayed for 3 nights in the hare room. It's not huge room but ok for a short stay and has everything you need, bathroom is a bit tight but great shower, clean room and peaceful at night. We didn't find the hours church bells intrusive at all. Staff are absolutely amazing, friendly, helpful and chatty. Pub does wonderful food, the £5 meal Sunday evening and Monday is such a bargain, Thai beef salad exceptional. Breakfast is great and the lady who manages the breakfast room so friendly. Great location for exploring the area. Thanks for 3 lovely nights.

We ate the village pub. It was absolutely perfect! Freshly made and was just scrumptious.

Lovely friendly, buzzy pub! We chose to sit in the garden which was surrounded by herbs and veg. Menu was a mix of traditional Sunday plus specials. Everything was delicious and service was attentive. We left enough room for pudding too! Good value at apx £30 per head for 3courses and the dog was welcome too. Excellent

Rural pub with a big personality. Joe was awesome, so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The food on Monday night was amazing and a blooming steal at £5 each. We stayed in The Hare room which was cosy and the en-suite was rather snug but everywhere was clean. The breakfast today was lovely and the lady again could not do enough for us. Well done for getting it bob on and making us feel so welcome.

We had such a lovely meal here today . The Sunday lunch was so good , tender beef , veg cooked to perfection and a great Yorkshire with an additional jug of gravy brought to the table. The service was fantastic and very welcoming. Would highly recommend

Great stay here, delicious food and fabulous hosts.

A lovely country gastro pub - the food here is fantastic!! A little remote in a beautiful village setting, this pub is always buzzing with local regulars whether for their Monday foodie nights, monthly banquets or for dinner off of their weekly changing menu. Their staff are friendly & their rooms are comfortable, clean, fresh, well designed & extremely affordable. I stay here regularly & highly recommend a visit or a stay.

Really gorgeous country pub with rooms. The food was amazing. Rooms are super lovely but bring eyemasks and earplugs if you want an early night and to not be woken up by the sun.

Delicious food and very well looked after. Super comfortable bedrooms and even better fun and friendly hosts! (Milo especially)

Fabulous pub, cracking beer and burger for lunch. Very friendly staff a lovely time, will definitely be back soon.

Just popped in here for lunch & it’s an absolute gem. Great food, service & atmosphere. Looking forward to going back.

Dinner at The George and Dragon early on a Saturday night. In summary, meh. Not enough flavour in anything. Ok pub grub, but not for the price. Won’t be trying again

I had lunch here today and can honestly say it was one of the nicest lunches I’ve had in a long time. Fab atmosphere, incredible service from really friendly and professional staff. Food was delicious and fast, table set up was lovely, really well presented and sparkly clean. Just an all round great pub in an excellent location. 10/10 recommend for couples/family and I reckon it’s a good place to come on a Saturday night with friends.

Stayed here for the night over the weekend. The food is absolutely delicious. Great service by the staff and the rooms are lovely. Will definitely be stopping here again

We have recently spent 4 nights at the George & Dragon and we have to say what a find. The staff are very friendly and can't do enough for you. The room we had (The Fox Room) was spotless, exceptionally clean and decorated/furnished to a high spec, as was the bathroom and shower. The pub is a bonus for a well earned pint after a long day out touring round the wonderful local villages. Finally, the breakfasts were amazing as was the sausage and mash meal we had on out first night. We have read the other marvellous reviews and we agree with all the positive comments made. We would rate the George & Dragon and staff 11 out of 10 if we could. This pub is definitely worth a visit.

sadly no vegetarian sausage option for breakfast...

🌟 We visited The George & Dragon earlier this week as a large group of friends. I just wanted to take a moment to say how incredible this place was. We were met by Joe who made us feel really welcome and kept our drinks topped up all night! We initially sat by a toasty fire 🔥 with a cosy comfortable surround, where we munched our way through some delicious canapés! Later we moved through to the dining room where Chef and owner, Ralph cooked us a phenomenal family-style dining extravaganza, including delicious steak, duck, fish and the best darn crispy, fluffy chips I have ever tasted! Thank you so much to you all for your incredible hospitality, we will DEFINITELY be back!! 🌟

This is a lovely place to stay. On arrival a very nice welcome by all. The place is very clean and a few lovely snugs. My room was spotless and tastefully done. My only gripe is, if there were two of you the bathroom door was a sliding one with big gaps either side due to the skirting, this was fine for me as it was just me The food was excellent, and one of the staff who I can only assume was the manager was very attentive. The breakfast was excellent and all in all a very pleasant stay.

Really good food, will definitely be back.

Had a reasonable bar meal with our dogs in attendance. Cosy pub, good cider on draught.

Fabulous country pub serving amazing food. Can't praise the staff enough, they couldn't do enough to make our stay and meals memorable- would highly recommend

To many a more delicious endeavors!

We stayed the night here to break a long drive and glad we did. The bar was so cosy and welcoming just as a country pub should be. Staff were friendly and food for both the evening meal and included breakfast was exceptional. We stayed in a small but modern and very comfortably room behind the main building. As we visited off season B&B rate was low and I would say great value for money. Would certainly recommend this place.

The George and Dragon is our local. The atmosphere in the bar area is very nice. Last Saturday we ate in the restaurant and had an amazing meal. Ever since we have lived here it's been good but last Saturday the bar was raised again.

Great little pub. Nice fireplace and generous bar staff.

We really enjoyed our stay! We were in the hare room and it was comfortable. The rooms are above the pub so you can hear the music/noise a little bit, but it shut down at 11, so not a huge deal. If you go to bed super early, that may be something to consider. We had fish and chips for dinner at the restaurant and it was yummy, but what we really enjoyed was the sticky toffee pudding! As Americans, my husband and I had never tried it before but I am so glad we did! We still keep talking about it weeks later 🤤. We tried it at a different restaurant and it did not hold a candle to the George and Dragons. The included breakfast was also really tasty and had a nice set up of coffees, teas, and juices. Overall, we would recommend both as a place to stay and a place to eat.

Great two night stay at the George & Dragon! Warmly greeted on arrival, we stayed in the pheasant room which was a very well presented, clean and good sized room. Breakfast and evening meals were excellent and having a few drinks in front of the log burner was very nice! All staff were very friendly and helpful. Our stay couldn't have been any better.

We have visited here today and had the most spectacular roast! The service was incredible, the staff are so friendly and can’t do enough for you. The landlord, Ralph, made a special visit to our table to make sure everything was hunky dory and we ended up chatting for ages! We shall definitely be making another trip here… only next time, we’ll be booking a room to stay over night so we can drink some more of the delicious beer and wine! Thanks all!

Stayed for one night. Probably the best fish and chips I’ve ever had

Fab food. Staff brilliant. Lovely atmosphere

4 of us stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed it. Lovely rooms. Great staff. Great breakfast.
