The George & Dragon Inn in Harrogate

We stopped for lunch with our dogs after the Ripley antiques fair. A lovely pub with friendly staff, nice decor.and a peaceful ambience. I had the seafood platter and my partner had a jacket potato. The food was very tasty, freshly cooked, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend this place for a drink or a yummy meal. Many thanks.

One of our now favorite "locals" that we try to frequent weekly. Always greeted by a smile and warm welcome and a bit of banter. Fair choice of pints. Haven't eaten there yet. Pleasant outside seating as well.

Waited 1 hour for food, including 2 kids meals and one of just baked beans. That's a long time for a two toddlers and a baby to wait for food. One kids meal was pizza and chips. The pizza was half a small microwave Chicago Town pizza, which was undercooked with some of the cheese still cold. One adult meal was the burger, although the patty was cremated so left uneaten. Service was slow and unenthusiastic.

A gem of a pub not far-off the A1 in a small village park right outside Realy nice food best kept cask pint I've had (and trust me I try a lot of different ones in a lot of different places) super dog friendly and our dalmatian received a free meal ( chunks of pork beef etc that I would be happy to have eaten) from the most hard working professional freindly barman we've met you must visit when in the area and give them your custom rather than pay for rubbish at the services

A great pub with great value meals. Even gave us a massive bowl of beef for the dog on the house.

Great food, atmosphere and the best pint around. 👌

Do a good carvery there recommend people to go like 👍

Great pub very friendly staff it was great for our family gathering. Had a wide range menu for gluten free and vegetarians. Dog friendly as well! Definitely recommend ⭐️

Absolutely fantastic food and service such a beautiful pub staff very friendly can honestly say one of the best plates of food I have ever had eating out will definitely be back

Fantastic food, great service, and a really pleasant atmosphere. I'd recommend it here if you fancy good fodder and a nice pint

Absolutely brilliant Friendly welcome and excellent service The beer battered Halumi was delicious Best I've ever had

Lovely friendly village pub, food and service are excellent. Been back several times and no complaints.

Great food would recommend this pub/restaurant I certainly will be revisiting.

Went for Sunday lunch. Loved it, all cooked fresh. Will definitely be going back.

Great food and service topped off with dog friendly 😀

Lovely, country pub. Good honest pub grub, very good value for money. Lovely, friendly young lady serving/ waitressing 👍

Lovely place, lovely people, lovely food

Great country pub! Nice beers, brilliant well priced food, friendly staff and a pub dog......what else do you need?

Went from work last Friday for a quick pint was spot on and good value and very welcoming

Very reasonable on prices of drinks. Food looked good (I didn't eat on this visit so can't comment on taste). Staff friendly and clean.

Lovely Sunday Lunch for Mother's Day.. Staff were fabulous and food was delicious. Absolutely value for money. Books and toys to amuse little people. Dog Friendly ( although ours stayed at home) Highly Recommend

Lovely, friendly and great food, allows dogs and has proper ale 🍺 would 100% visit again

What a fantastic find! Beautiful pub, fantastic food and lovely friendly staff. Visited for the first time tonight and was not disappointed! Generous portions of delicious homemade food at a fantastic price. We had such a nice evening we booked before we left for mother's Day. Thank you for a brilliant evening, see you soon.

What a fantastic find of a pub this is! A mid way meeting point off the A1for a N. Yorks/ W. Yorks family Sunday lunch, it lived up to its great reviews in every way. Thank you, we will be returning 😊.

Great food and staff , there was a wait for the food but it was worth it

Dog friendly pub. Very friendly staff. Good food.

Sunday lunch. Friendly staff, good ale choice and a fab roast dinner at a reasonable price. The Yorkshire Pudding was the best I've ever had. Give these guys a try, you won't be disappointed.

The George and Dragon in Melmerby actually deserves six stars. The absolutely perfect pub. Terrific atmosphere, friendly welcome by great staff, and food that is as tasty as you will ever experience. Beautiful presentation, utterly delicious. Stunning crumble too, with locally sourced fruit from the village.

We have been on holiday in North Yorkshire and we adopted the George and Dragon as our watering hole. Luke the bar man made us so welcome,as did the locals 🤧. What a lovely pub with a fantastic menu.Thank you .

Just visiting area found on Google maps, what a find. As 5pm rang to check still serving food on a Sunday and allow dogs both good so arrived just after. Warm friendly welcome unusually no restrictions on where we sat though chose near bar on a hard floor. Dogs were not just given a treat but there own bag of treats each tied in a paw print bow. Limited menu being Sunday but enough to suit and choice of beef or pork Sunday roast we had one of each. Staff very friendly and attentive took about 1/2 hour but obviously fresh and hot. Without asking came with small pot of horseradish and apply sauce with boat of extra gravy. The food was so tasty all of it, honey parsnips, creamy mash, crispy roast, homemade Yorkshire, mix veg but the gravy, heaven. We both cleared plates though dogs weren't happy no fat or grizzle just quality meat. Easily one of the best roast dinners we had found 😋. Forced ourselves to try a dessert ginger sponge and custard, vanilla ice cream. Again fresh tasty. So driving near Ripon seek this little gem out good local pub and food. Dog owners dream.

Proper pub, proper food and a friendly atmosphere. Spot on

Great food, good service and excellent value.

I was looking for a dog friendly pub in the area, which was there aren’t many… and what a gem of a find! Very friendly staff (and local clients!) food was general pub grub menu but very good quality, ale is well kept, could’ve sat in there all night. Dog got a goody bag for well behaviour too.

Very warm and friendly little town pub, all home made food that is very very good. Service and staff lovely. This pub was a life saver as our pub where we where staying down the road, unfortunately, stopped all drinks and food service whilst we were there. Rendering our pub room and bed only. Will definitely return to the George & Dragon for food before we go home.

Very good simple food. Excellent service.

Great food and always a warm welcome

Fantastic meal in a village pub just 5 minutes from the motorway. Well worth a stop.

Claire's Fish&Chips are the best I have tasted and continue to be the best in YORKSHIRE! .....I won't have Fish and Chips anywhere else as its never as good not even on the east coast! :)

You should go here if only for the breakfast, it will keep you going all day

Great pub, lovely beer garden and very friendly staff. Delicious food!

We called for dinner on Saturday. It was beautiful. Will definitely be back x

Proper local!!!.. Good food, treat bags for dogs, great beer, friendly staff.

Excellent food. Very good service

Lovely pub, very welcoming with the dog, food excellent, even a bag of treats for the dog.

Love the food, service is good, staff very friendly and accomodating. My only small fault, the gravy could be improved a little, a bit more flavour to it.

Lovely staff and lovely food definitely a go back to

Dog friendly, really lovely pub with great pub food and beer. The dog even got his own little goody bag with treats and biscuits which he loved and wolfed down!

Fantastic food , great price and staff very accomodating nothing a problem... Sunday dinners were lovely

Fantastic pub. The two guests on hand pull. The Theakstons Best Bitter was superb. The food was excellent. On our table we had a mixture of jacket potato, fish and chips, home made steak pie and two children's meals. All meals were excellent. The pie was full of meat with very tasty pastry. The excellent chips were home made. The kids meals were enough for our 3 and 6 year olds. Even the dog was given a bag with treats. The staff here were friendly and welcoming. I would definitely visit again.

Friendly. Great food reasonably priced. We will be going back

Great value meals and excellent service and ale.

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend!!

Lovely cosy pub, we had the Roast Beef dinner and it was delicious and Hot chocolate Fudge cake for afters and couldn't fault it. Looking forward to a return visit.

Great pub ! As Mr Penrose for a free drink , great fella !!

Great little pub. Lovely food and staff

Last minute stop off for food and a couple of beers. Friendly attentive staff, excellent food at good value, had my dog with me who was also made welcome.

Fabulous atmosphere. Food really good. Brilliant staff

We had a table of 11 booked after a trip To lightwater Valley. From Manchester Food amazing. The chap who looked after us couldn't fault service. Food perfect. Kids meals went down a treat and deserts were bang on. Definitely visit again when we head up that way again.

Very nice food. Had a chilli, and the steak and ale pie. Pie was very good. There's a small number of parking spots directly outside of the pub. We were there mid week lunchtime, and it was quiet, but would be very happy to eat there again if we're back.

Lovely Sunday lunch and friendly staff 😊

Beautiful home cooked Sunday lunch def go back friendly staff and Luke was great 5stars sandra and Dave

What a pleasant surprise, not been there in years, friendly staff, good meal at very good price , also good background music. Strange entrance though, main entrance says no entrance ?

Good pub grub, good pint Guinness, friendly staff and service.....

A great pub! Tasty simple food and great service.

Lovely food and helpful friendly staff.

Just stopped off at The George & Dragon Inn off the A1(M) after driving down south from Fort William and had such a great meal with my husband. Amazing locally sourced produce and the best customer service there is! The gentleman behind the bar couldn’t have been more friendly and welcoming throughout our short visit. Thoroughly recommend!

Our first time here service excellent food excellent would definitely recomend and certainly come back again

Really enjoyable pint felt safe and the food is good definitely recommend

Great little find just off the A1M. Lovely beer garden, good choice of food. The kids boxes were brilliant idea just the ticket for 2 hungry children!! Definitely would recommend a visit and to try the burger!!!

Fab service and a lovely pub lunch. The Copper Dragon is fantastic in the sun.

Lovely food and the staff are very friendly

Brilliant place to eat and drink ... Lovely staff.. very comfortable place to be,really friendly and lovely home made food ... Couldn't recommend enough 👍🍻. Great value for money

Excellent pub food, friendly owners, fantastic real ale.

Ordered a takeaway tonight on the 11 September 2020 we ordered fish and chips mussey peas and curry and it was lovely. Thankyou the service was very fast and we will go back again

Really nice food, proper homemade pie and chips was delicious, and polite staff, would definitely recommend and will be going again.

Dropped in for a family lunch with 3 small children. Great meal and service, a slight delay getting the food but we arrived just after a few other big groups so no great surprise. The food was all freshly cooked and very tasty - definitely a future stop off for journeys up and down the A1

The food was fantastic and excellent value for Money...

Very friendly staff, food was lovely but had to wait a while due to restrictions with covid. Allows dogs in the bar area so our dog was allowed in with us. Would definitely visit again.

No need for safety concerns here! A lovely warm welcome from Ted to our table where Hannah took our order when we took a break from work. Thank you, Claire, for a really great lunch and for making such a brilliant effort to get the COVID-stuff right. Everything is in place to make sure you feel safe and can relax and enjoy good food in lovely surroundings. We’ll certainly be back soon.

Great staff, great beer, great pub!

Good old pub we had a Sunday dinner which was really good we are visiting the area otherwise I would go regularly

Loved it. The food was amazing, cooked to perfection and the Guinness settled very well. Will be back

One of the best pubs I have been to

Lovely pub. Just popped in for a drink on a Saturday afternoon. Really warm welcome. Lovely staff. And a great coffee! What a village pub should be. Dogs welcome too! Lovely log fires and nice outside area. Didn't get chance to look at a menu. But could of happily stayed for food.

Great food. Never had fish like it before more than delicious. Great country pub great food great drinks & fantastic staff. Visit it & you won't be disappointed.

The heart of the Melmerby community ! Excellent food, beer and lots of events for all the family

Lovely little pub with superb food

Heartwarming welcome Hearty and homemade dishes

When the sun is shining and the family fancy a trip out for dinner all that is required is really good food, really good beer, really good service and a good friendly atmosphere. Thankfully all of these are available in large amounts at The George and Dragon. Thank you Claire and team (and Ted)

Due to distance it's rare that we can visit but never miss the chance when we can

Halloumi brill, fish & chips brill, steak ale pie hmm could better & salmon over done, had to wait a while but was lovely, staff friendly facilities small but perfectly functional. Beer & cider good

Warm and friendly atmosphere. Made very welcome.

Lovely lady and Ted the dog. Food excellent highly recommended x x x

Fresh homemade food. Brilliant.

Great place. Fantastic service!

Close to the A1 and handy to meat family from local area when passing through, the staff made us so welcome even provided a meal for our very food fussy Westie which she demolished in no time, our choice of burgers sounded like a very average choice of meal that turned out to be one of the best burgers I have had full stop!! We will be returning.

Lovely Place... Lovely People ☆☆☆☆☆

Awesome food, excellent beers and friendly staff.

Stumbled across this quaint village pub after leaving the motorway due to an accident. What a gem and a wonderful start to our weekend away. Good home cooked food accompanied by warm friendly staff!!! Big thank you to the chef (whoever you are!!) Just a shame we live over 100 miles away!!
