The George & Dragon in Huntingdonshire

You hear that crunchy layer? 😋 🐟 FRIAR TUCK’S OF YAXLEY 📍 🇬🇧 A few weeks back, I stumbled across a new Fish n Chips spot! I am on a quest to find the best tastiest Fish & Chips combo in the UK. 🇬🇧 I am a big fan of fried fish in general but UKs fish and chips is my new obsession. 🤩 Each month I select a fish n chips spot to review its service, ambiance and most importantly its taste of its food. FRIAR TUCK’S OF YAXLEY have been on my radar for quite some time now. I finally went there and had to see what they working with. The location was convenient. I like the set up of the store, a very well put together to-go spot. The workers at the cash register were sweet. When I asked the difference between the two types of fish, the cook at the counter seemed annoyed that I asked that question. 😅😅 They also didn’t have had their large size fish option at the moment, which was a bummer. 😕Nevertheless, I was still excited to try their fish and chips. So got a Medium size Cod. They fried the fish right in front of me which was superb 🤩 The pricing wasn’t that bad as well. Something I did appreciate was that they wrap their food in paper which made it feel more authentic. Their medium size fish was HUGE, as well as the small chips order. 🫨It smells Devine! Once I got my food, I was ready to eat it right and then! As I was leaving, there was this MOST BREATHTAKING PICTURE PERFECT RAINBOW I’ve ever seen 🌈 I mean, it was just out of this world! That’s when I knew this fish and chips was going to be amazing! It was indeed amazing! It was well seasoned with salt and vinegar with my chips as well. It has the perfect crisp to it. The fish tasted fresh and great quality. Would love to visit again! If ever in this area, it’s a MUST! If the owners see this raving review, feel free to reach out and thank me by sending me a to-go box 😁😊😋

We were seated promptly, ordered our meal at the bar and our starters came out 15 mins later which is about average in most pubs. The main took 1hr 20mins but 10 mins before this turned up we were told there was no veggie strips for the burger and due to the lack of options for vegetarians my wife ended up with just the extra chips she had ordered. When the food arrived it was almost cold and the chips tasted like cardboard, the burger had been massively overcooked. Generally it was very poor food which did not warrant the price we had paid, the manager tried to offer us desserts for free but we had already been in the pub for over 2 hrs we were not going to risk it and the quality so far did not bode well. We have eaten at many Marstons before and always been happy with the service and food quality, this branch needs much improvement!

We stayed here and it was lovely - Thanks to Cathy and her husband (and staff) for making us feel very welcome. The food was lovely - both dinner and breakfast. Our room was quaint (this is a 17th Century building) even if the ceiling was a little low. The bed was very comfortable and it was very quiet so we had a good night's sleep. There is a lovely beer garden too.

No sunday roast, metal chairs and no atmosphere . No longer a traditional garden centre but a place fukk of everything

Quintessentially English pub serving fantastic real ale in a friendly atmosphere. My only (very slight gripe) is that I did not get to experience the overly flirtatious curly haired bar maid, mentioned in previous reviews …. maybe my next visit will prove more fruitful?
