The George & Dragon Inn in Shropshire

2nd visit in a week while on holiday in the area. Couldn't fault the place

The pub bit is nice with great beers. However thought the food and service was sub-par. We were told originally that the kitchen was supposed to shut at 8.30 and some of our guests were going to arrive a bit later than the rest of the party (around 7.50). Instead they shut the kitchen at 7.45 and wouldn't budge for our guests who were 5 minutes away because the chef was "overwhelmed". As a result our extra guests were unable to eat. The place was maybe half full. The food was somewhere between a wetherspoons meal and satisfactory and left a lot to be desired. That being said, it wasn't too expensive. I'd come again for the ambience and beer in the bar area but probably wouldn't eat.

Interesting people and friendly atmosphere

Was looking forward to my Sunday roast based on previous reviews. I was a bit t disappointed. Theork was very fatty asucg as one third was fat. The vegetable were warm and the apple sauce had cold straight from the fridge. The best but was the cabbage and bacon in creamy sauce. Overall very average.

Good traditional English pub serving classic Sunday roast Only downside was the r oast potatoes were seemingly deep fried rather than fully roasted.Perhaps its a Shropshire custom,but not to my liking.Smaller(and cheaper portions) are great value.

Visited Saturday 17th August Food and Service was excellent. Would highly recommend their homemade chilli.

Great older world pub with good food and atmosphere. Be back soon for Sunday roast dinner

Menu on Web completely outdated. Actual menu very limited and nothing special. Good pub atmosphere, but not good enough to make us go back to eat. Very disappointing!

Stumbled on this little gem whilst staying at another pub in Much Wenlock. Live music, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Brilliant night. Forgot to mention, that I loved Aimee

An excellent place to recharge, ingenious use of a barrel in the gents🙂

Brilliant atmosphere in this pub. Clearly well supported by regular customers but as tourists visiting for the first time this evening we were made very welcome by the easy going and friendly staff. We also had food and it was excellent and served to us in a very timely fashion. We interacted with three members of staff all of whom were friendly and professional. Other customers were also very friendly. I don’t leave reviews often but just had to in this instance.

Visited the george and Dragon for a retirement drinks event. I didn't eat at the venue . Found the prices to be a little expensive. The atmosphere seems ok but appears to cater to the local upper class. Not what I would consider a first choice But the local crowd appears to enjoy it

Lovely old pub with loads of character. Friendly staff, lovely ales.

Lovely meal very friendly staff will visit again when in the area

Don't know what the food is like. Nice atmosphere for the locals... Not so much for strangers to the area. Be nice to see no alcohol wine as an alternative to a soft drink. But very pleasant to spend an hour or so with family.

Great little old worlde pub. Good honest food charming server.

Fabulous Sunday lunch, great food, plentiful really tasty great service. Would highly recommend, one pork , one vegetarian so tasty ! 😋

Lovely little pub, nice friendly atmosphere.

Wow,what a gem of a pub. Called in on the off chance for a meal,four of us with our dog.Pub was busy but found seats in the rear dining area which was full of character. Landlord was really friendly and helpful, nothing too much trouble. Food was superb and really good value.A definite go to pub if you're in Much Wenlock, can't praise it enough. We'll be back!!

We had a Sunday roast here and it was absolutely delicious and plentiful. There was also the option of a smaller portion for a lesser price which I find particularly useful sometimes (but not this time). It was a very welcoming place with a log burner for the cool afternoons. A good range of beers. The staff were really friendly. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely return.

If God lives in Much Wenlock, which I’m sure he does, then I’m sure this would be his local. Fabulous quality ales, friendly team, history all around, we just came for a drink but the food looked good too.

Lovely place staff very friendly. Great atmosphere

Excellent pub, proper food, great beer. Love it.

Great local.. Msg them the week before regarding about the 6 nations and dinning, if we'd need to book. Mgg'd back almost straightaway with a more detailed answer to my question a little later. Was busy in there early on. Not the biggest front bar. There is a back room with a lot more space. Service and beer choice was good. Wifey is a vegi, choices were slightly limited for her ( they'd run out of what she wanted). I had the ale pie, was goood, portion size ok. Place was very popular with walkers. Would go back without qualms.

Popped in to see what lunch menu contained. Excellent food, service and staff. Generous portion on our wraps choice. Good old fashioned pub, lovely open fire, and well patronised for late lunchtime.

A nice friendly local in Much Wenlock High street. Real ale is served, has a menu and bar snacks. Well worth a visit.

This is the pub that Benny Hill went up to and when the old lady stuck her head of the window shouting what do you want? Benny Hill replied, "Is George in!?"....:}

Really nice old Inn/Hotel really clean and friendly. Don't know what the foods like but never heard any complaints in the 3 hrs we were there.

Called in today for lunch and ordered fish and chips. The fish was absolutely awful as it appeared to be Mekong catfish ( Basa ). Asked by the staff, if everything was OK, my response was a loud and clear No..

Welcoming, cosy little pub with extra seating in the back. We had a couple of drinks only, no food so cant comment on kitchen. I believe they're closing kitchen early on Sunday, so probably better double checking thier website regarding dining. A nice experience, friendly little place. We'll be back. Thanks.

Called in on a short visit to Much Wenlock intending to just have a drink. Had the Enville brewery IPA. Excellent quality drink, really well kept Atmosphere and surrounding of this gem of a pub we're so nice that we stayed for a meal. We had pie ( from local butcher who it turned out was sat next to us )and mash as well as Yorkshire Pudding filled with Sausage and mash. Fabulous home cooked quality and very generous portions. This is a genuine old fashioned British pub. Warm ( log fire) ,Welcoming , comfortable. Wish it was local to me

Great atmosphere and good choice of beers, haven't had food but it looks good

Lovely proper pub. Food was great and good service.

Lovely old pub, cosy and warm. The staff were very welcoming and pleasant. Fish and chips was very nice. Very dog friendly

Great traditional pub with good range of real ales, best in Much Wenlock

Visit to Much Wenlock with the dog and looking for somewhere for lunch. What a fantastic dog friendly pub. Ben and his staff were fantastic - welcoming, friendly and so professional. We had the curry and the chilli which were exceptional, really tasty and well presented. The atmosphere in this pub was brilliant and would come back to use again in a heartbeat, if you're in the area don't miss out on a great venue.

Lovely, relaxing atmosphere and welcoming host. We sat down by fireplace and ordered some sweet potato fries, which were delicious. We also enjoyed soup with fresh and very tasty bread. 🍲 Good quality Guinness too. We fall in love with this space.

Warm, friendly, and so welcoming. I will definitely be going back

Fantastic traditional pub with tasty freshly prepared food. 32 of us went to the George and Dragon for lunch. We pre-ordered our food. Ben and his team were amazing and really looked after us. We had the whole back area to ourselves. The food was fantastic. I had pie and mash and a pint of Shropshire Gold ale... it was delicious. They catered brilliantly for vegetarians, vegans and gluten free folk as well as meat eaters. The pub has a great atmosphere. There were plenty of locals at the front bar, who were all happy and welcoming. A really great, proper country pub in a beautiful town. Perfect. Thank you all for a lovely experience.

A perfect English Pub experience.. Danny and his team run the G&D perfectly!

Lovely little Pub/restaurant. Sat in the front bar and a roaring fire was a welcome treat on a damp day. Great Sunday roast lunch with great service. Small setting so best book ahead.

A cracking pub. Just how pubs should be. Great choice of good beer, friendly atmosphere, and cosy. Will definitely be visiting again.

Great local country pub. With a cosy atmosphere.

Had an excellent Sunday lunch (for 11 of us including 4 children), combined with great friendly service from Millie, Alfie and Jodie in a wonderful old pub....what’s not to like!...we all had a brilliant time and will be back again soon. Definitely recommended.

This pub was my regular when I lived locally, but I hadn't been for a couple of years. We went on Saturday with my husband, mum and 2 kids (4 and 2) and were given a really warm welcome by Ben and the team. They were so helpful and very patient with the kids! Food was excellent with very generous portions (try the buttermilk chicken burger) and plenty of choice on draught. Well worth a visit for a cosy lunch!

What a delightful little pub, made to feel very welcome and it’s dog friendly! The food was proper delicious pub food! Really recommend it. The staff were super welcoming and friendly.

A great local pub full of character and wonderful people. Enjoyed our food!

Turned up at 10 to 8, people eating place busy. Asked could we order, only to be told the kitchen clock is fast so at 5 to no. The chef wants to go home. Pathetic. I'll just start turning up to work 10 minutes late and leaving 10 minutes early. Decent pint thought

Lovely pub with unique atmosphere and great service. Unfortunately, too many dishes from the menu were not available, so despite the great effort of the staff to find something for us, we left hungry.

Ok.. it was a Saturday evening, no cooked food ,which seems to be the norm in Ludlow after 8pm.. however there were sandwiches. And great beer and friendly folk .. with wonderful service

Visited Much Wenlock, not been to the town before, fancied a spot of lunch and called in the George and Dragon ….. what a proper pub it is just as you would want it if you love old pubs. Fantastic surroundings and great food too. Steak pie and scampi main meals were top notch and very reasonably priced. The coffee is great too. Can’t wait to go back.

Had a lovely meal here on Saturday. Great service and child friendly. Best to book as it seems very popular.

This is what pubs should be - a beautiful unspoilt historic interior, friendly welcoming staff, and a feel of vibrant community. The fact that I then had the best Sunday roast I can remember was the icing on the cake. Fabulous generous portions, great slab of Yorkshire Pudding, great gravy, followed by steamed puddings and custard. The landlord was a lovely chap and made a real fuss of our dog (who was royally spoilt!).

Brilliant pub with lovely food, beer and atmosphere. we ate here twice and both times the food was delicious with generous reasonably priced dishes. The first night the card payment system was down, but no problem, they just asked us to drop in and pay somtime the next day. Excellent all round.

We were very lucky to grab a table so please do book if you intend to visit for Sunday lunch, the food and service are incredibly good! We just happened to be passing and asked if they had a table, they advised us to come back in 30 minutes and true to their word when we came back a table was ready. The food was excellent, could not fault any of it, both the starters and mains were great and we had no room for deserts, the service was attentive and friendly throughout, a number of people were very politely turned away due to no tables being available, hence the comment to book if you can. A fantastic place for Sunday lunch, sets a standard that many more illustrious places in Shropshire should aspire to in terms of food and service.

A brilliant find this pub is delightful! We visited on the first night of our stay and enjoyed drinks (especially the blueberry gin liquor!) and the great atmosphere and discovered they do a Pizza night on Tuesdays so visited again the next day for pizza. The pizzas were delicious and great value too. They’re so big we couldn’t finish them as we’d ordered chips too but happily took away a box with the leftovers! A great find and a pub we will certainly return to when in the area again.

Great for good beer, very friendly welcome and pub food+ Went 2 nights running for food whilst staying at the Much Wenlock Pottery B&B. Menu a combination of pub favourites and small dishes, with a few interesting additions.

Fantastic food and brilliant service. The food was homemade and great quality. Great value for money. The tapas selection was really good and the Greek salad, calamari and prawn dishes chosen were superb. Home made curry was really tasty. We will definitely be back on our next visit to the area. And dog friendly!

A lovely unspoiled town pub with friendly staff and good food. So much choice and a novel tapas style menu accompanying more traditional pub menu. We ate garlic prawns and pitta followed by one of their curry choices, a beef mince keema, rice popaddum onion bahji and chips! Also, a well prepared sea bass fillet on crushed potatoes caper butter and small prawns. V good value

There's dog friendly and there's George and Dragon dog friendly. This is the perfect place to visit with your furry family members. Nothing was too much trouble. On top of that the service for humans was pretty spectacular too with lovely staff and a professional welcome. Surely food couldn't be good too? Well, yes, yes it was. We had Sunday lunch, generous portions, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious, would definitely recommend.

Very pleasant bar team, very dog friendly. We had items from the small plates menu which were all delicious. Would visit again.

Great pub, fantastic atmosphere. A proper pub. Always made to feel welcome The staff are so friendly and accommodating and well THE BEER IS GREAT.

Lovely local pub, very friendly. Called in on a visit to Much Wenlock last Sunday. excellent beers as well!!

Old world charm in the modern day. The G&D must be one of the most welcoming and friendly watering holes in the world. In the unlikely event of aliens landing in much wenlock (could happen though), they would be made to feel at home and...

Lovely old worldy pub. Friendly staff. Was pizza or pasta night. We had pasta. I had spinach cannelloni and hubby ham and mushroom taglatelli. Both hot and fresh and tasty. 2 bowls of chips which were huge portions. And lovely and crispy outside fluffy inside....

Lovely Olde English pub in quiet Village. Dog friendly, friendly staff, great beer. Good value prices

Visited this lovely local pub several times on our recent visit to Much Wenlock. Great beer, good staff, friendly locals all making the atmosphere very enjoyable. Having been recommended and reading various reviews we decided to eat and went for the highly rated steak pie....

We enjoyed a delightful lunch from the Mix and Match Tapas menu and drinks. The service was excellent and bar person friendly and helpful. The food was of particularly high quality and beautifully presented.

Called into this charming pub for a meal and a drink while staying in the area for the weekend. Very welcoming friendly staff. Food first class and reasonably priced. I had the faggots my husband had a steak & kidney pie both from the local...

Fantastic fish platter, very well priced and lovely staff.

Nice centre of Much Wenlock location, good choice of real ales, plenty of options on the lunchtime menu, friendly staff

Much Wenlock is a lovely place and the George added to the whole feel. A lovely old pub with real fire place, pew type seats. Great Beers and also alcohol free spirits, which as the driver were great and better than coke. There was another room out back but think that was more for food.

Traditional cosy pub, cheese and onion cobs !!

Sunday lunch was great, and the bread & butter pudding was lovely. Nice friendly staff...👍

Brilliant boozer . Nice local ales . Woodfire,what more could you want

Went because of good reviews and not disappointed. Every box ticked. Fabulous chips!!

A proper real ale pub, cosy and welcoming.

Fabulous Sunday dinner here yesterday, with Sisters, Mum and couple of Grandchildren. Always, a sociable atmosphere, cosy, great menu choice and accommodating staff, banter comes for free. Highly recommend x

Small little pub it's OK but not for me

Lovely people and the perfect setting for a tasty Sunday lunch. This place is not a 'gastro pub' but they offer really good value, great beer and are super dog-friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Absolutely fantastic place to relax and have drinks and food with friends, coal lit fire, friendly staff and a great ambiance. Definitely a place I will call again

The kind of pub that is sadly getting harder and harder to find. Great atmosphere, a nice pint and friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Not the roomy bar but boy do they look after there customers

Very friendly and welcoming local pub

Terrific pub with a Fab' Landlady. Enjoy

What an absolute gem!! Lovely old pub with seating outside in a little sun trap. Food was delicious best chips I have ever tasted. Will definitely be returning, friendly and welcoming staff especially to our slightly nervous pooch. Just great.

Very popular. Good food but not very Covid prepared. The bar was packed so sat in the restaurant.

Great food and friendly staff 👍

Great lively pub with great beer and top service. Very friendly.

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere and friendly staff and locals. Cheers.

Lovely food and great value. Nice atmosphere.

One of our favourite pubs to visit when we camp at much wenlock , very friendly staff ,food is delicious
