The Green Dragon in Wiltshire

Delicious food at a friendly country pub. It's tucked away up a country lane but well worth seeking out.

We enjoyed a very lovely meal in The Green Dragon and we felt very much welcome . The staff here were kind . We will come again.

We have r been here in a couple of years but we are so glad we came to visit as it was amazing - staff friendly and polite - food was outstanding and the pub has an amazing atmosphere- would definitely recommend ☺️

Walking distance from where we were staying but needs to be updated as benches looked old and tatty We had already looked at the menu on line but were greatly disappointed with what they had on the menuon arrival Food could have been better such a shame Pub and food, need to be updated

Just popped in here for the toilet and a cuppa tea, the barmaid is probably the best barmaid I’ve ever met, so friendly , I asked for a cuppa tea , she served it to me with biscuits on a nice plate in the garden , some pubs aren’t that keen if you ask for tea or coffee but not here , thank you !!

Fantastic food, absolutely delicious and well presented Good choice of various drinks, Amazing service from the very friendly staff , let alone the lovely garden 👍😁

This was our first time ever at The Green Dragon in Alderbury and we’re so impressed. We were greeted by smiley staff, the food, service, garden and whole atmosphere was lovely! We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely staff & fantastic food!!

You only really have to look at all the recent reviews to see how good this place is. I was served the most indulgent prawn and crayfish pasta- the pasta was homemade as was the accompanying bread, and everything was cooked freshly. It's a wonder the owner turns over a profit such was the quantity and quality of the seafood. There was a delightfully piquante sauce with fresh tomatoes and a rocket salad and there were nice touches- a staff member bringing a jug of iced water with lemon when I was unsure if I wanted another pint; offering to box up what I couldn't finish (it was a generous portion and I am a big chap who was at the end of a 25 mile cycle on a breakfast of pears and water). This was a Tuesday early lunchtime when you might expect less variety but the menu was great. The sloping garden was magical in the sunshine, overlooking south Wiltshire and full of birds and butterflies. I can't wait to go back and try their pies (homemade pastry!) and fish of the day. Don't miss it!

We had a wonderful meal at The Green Dragon tonight. Extremely generous portions and excellent value for money. Victoria is so helpful and funny too. Nothing is too much trouble. You certainly won’t leave hungry. 😋 I had the huge king prawn and cray fish linguine followed by a delicious Eton Mess.

Found this little gem by chance on the way to North Somerset. Lovely 14th century pub which served the most amazing home cooked food with great prices especially for the portions which were served. Made to feel really welcome 5* from us!

Gone are the days of service and effort. Our server came to the table with our drinks and just left the tray there with a grunt. The vegetarian roast came with boiled potatoes instead of the advertised roasties. And...wait for it...the Yorkshire had also made a disappearance. When asking staff just responded "oh we've run out". My apple and blackberry crumble took me back to school dinner days. I particularly liked the presentation which was submerged in custard so thick not even the straws on the left tray could help me. Glad we made a visit so we know to avoid this place in future.

Had a really lovely meal at the Green Dragon a few weeks ago. Rebooked for next week. Reasonably priced, really lovely food, relaxed environment and friendly staff.

Charming C16 building. Food all homecooked and delicious, very dog friendly in the bar area and lots of doggy treats which was a nice touch. Good beer and welcoming and attentive service.

Lovely local pub, great food and a great selection of drinks. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful too.

Warm fire and a friendly bar maid. We were made to feel welcome - thank you. It was very quiet - but we were early; The drinks were well presented and served.

Seems like a really lovely pub. Open fires and cosy establishment. Food was great. And the staff where very friendly, happy and helpful.

Whilst visiting Alderbury we had lunch here. Great service, good food. Great menu. Good price.

Excellent food and attentive staff. Would definitely visit this restaurant again. We’re with friends and we all enjoyed the experience.

Been here a few times now and the food has always been excellent. The service provided is also to a high standard and even when it's busy you don't have to wait too long. Highly recommended if you fancy some pub food classics.

We met up with family at this pub as it was about half way for both. We had the Sunday roast I was very disappointed thought the whole thing tasted as if it was reheated. Roast potatoes like aunt Bessie's yorkshire pud nice but cold red cabbage leeks just not nice. The best thing was the veg that came separate. I had the cheesecake that seemed like a tesco one with some squirty cream on the side. My son didn't eat his turkey the pig in blanket wasn't cooked properly and his sticky toffee pudding was like syrup pudding and not good. Would not recommend the food. The staff very helpful and friendly.

Sadly a very disappointing visit. Two meals excellent and two meals poor as meat was tough and fatty. Pub was empty and cold inside

I have eaten here a few times and the food is good, the table service is good. Its a cosy village pub with very little parking. It is popular so would need to arrange parking. It is a nice low beam pub with plenty of character. reasonably priced menu.

Awful pub, even worse experience!! Not a very nice atmosphere if you're not a local, staff are very rude and try to get you out before you've finished your meal! Very dirty pub with barely anything on the menu to choose from! If you want the choice of 3 beers and 2 wine's then this is the place for you!! The food came out after 50 minutes of waiting and the majority of it was cold! Also VERY expensive for what you get. Will not be returning, which is a shame because this is meant to be my local pub to the village i currently live in.

Great food, very friendly bunch !

Visiting our son, we decided to take him out for a meal, and this was nearby. Big mistake - we were taken through a maze of grubby behind the scenes corridors to an empty, soulless restaurant area with dated decor, sticky table and lots of cobwebs. There was a choice of 2 beers - dark or light - and both men went for the dark, which had such an odd flavour that they didn't finish it....... The food (very basic, and very overpriced) took 40 minutes to arrive, and it really wasn't busy - no-one else in the eating area when we arrived. When it did, the portions were tiny, and the lasagne so hot that, even after decanting it on to the plate from its tiny pot, we had to wait 10 minutes before attempting to eat it, and I still burnt my tongue and the roof of my mouth. All in all, a horrible atmosphere with underwhelming food, and we couldn't wait to get out.

We were staying locally and booked for Sunday lunch. I have not been to this pub for a while. Warm atmosphere when we attended, and lovely old pub. We both ordered Sunday Roasts which were delicious. My husband has a dessert that look lovely and he said was very tasty. Highly recommend , reasonably priced

Took friends here for lunch, food amazing, service amazing Victoria is great a real barmaid chatty & a good laugh. Real Ale was great well kept & a good choice. Fish pie is the best Ive even had. We will be returning soon. Well worth a visit if your in the area.

Took friends here for lunch, food was amazing (lemon meringue roulade could of been more lemon but thats just me)Service was great, couldnt fault anything. We will be returning soon. Well worth a visit

Always excellent. Sunday lunches are wonderful.

Booked for evening meal and drinks. Made to feel welcome the moment we entered. Sat in the lovely garden for a drink before sitting in the lounge. Feels like a proper old country pub, but the food was closer to gastro in appearance and taste. Well stocked bar also helped. Definitely one to remember.

Enjoyed a great Sunday roast staff friendly and helpful well worth a visit.

It's been some years since we last visited and we had intended to go somewhere else to eat, but were very pleased we booked here for Sunday lunch. The service was friendly and our meals were well prepared and portions were on the generous side, they also had some decent beers on offer from Hop Back Brewery - all in all a visit we would be very happy to repeat. The only slight downside is that there are very few parking spaces, not too much of a problem though if you are mobile, but something to consider.

Warm welcome exceptional food with great service. Thank you Jeff and Vickie. We shall be back again.

Sunday roast lunch - fantastic value!

We popped in for a beer on Saturday evening and had a great time. Jeff and Vicky made us feel very welcome, as did the regulars. The beer was good and the company was excellent! We actually came back the next day for Sunday lunch and can highly recommend the beef. Jeff does fantastic roast potatoes that are beautiful and fluffy on the inside. Well worth seeking out this hidden country pub.

The roast lamb and roast beef were delicious, and the amount was enough to satisfy a growing son so that says it all! I was especially pleased to see plenty of fresh veg, perfectly cooked and still crunchy. The staff were efficient and friendly and I would have given the whole experience 5 but the plates were cold which was a shame. Highly recommend a visit, cannot comment on the puds as too full!

A great little cosy village pub.

Quick lunch stop during a long drive. Place looks beautiful with a nice garden to sit in. Staff is very welcoming and service is fast. The food was plenty and tasty.

Arrived late for food, but the staff were very accommodating and prepared a baguette for us. Very good ales as well

Pensioner lunch was extremely good value and the food was excellent.

Staff are lovely. Attentive and helpful. The atmosphere of the dining room is nice. The food... generous portions but unfortunately the quality was not as good on our recent visit as we had had previously.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was good. We had a coffee on the Thursday as bit early for the hourly bus to Salisbury. It goes from the stop by the pub between about xx10 and xx16. Return from Salisbury was xx38. Thursday is the pubs coffee and cake morning but we had just eaten breakfast back at base. Hole Farm, see Woodpecker Lodge review. We booked a table for Friday ecening, but changed it when passing Friday morning to the Saturday evening. They do 2 real Ales from Hopback (Fugglestone and Citra on our visit), Keg from Hopback Crop Circle or Chimera) and bottles. Some lagers but I don't drink that so couldn't say what. Food was good value, French Pork with red cabbage very tasty, wife had Sea Bream which was really nice. Worth a visit.

Lovely food so tasty and the staff are a credit to the pub. We absolutely loved it, if you're in the area you must must come here you will not be disappointed!!!!

Made an impromptu visit to this pub for lunch while visiting the area. The pub dates from the 14th century and our waitress was extremely friendly, telling us about its history, especially the Dickens connection, and even bringing us books to look through before and after our meal. The food itself was delicious.My partner enjoyed his battered haddock very much. My rib eye steak was cooked to perfection and I really enjoyed the mushroom and sage sauce I chose to have with it. Would thoroughly recommend the food and service, and would definitely go back if in the area again. Thank you for such an enjoyable lunchtime.

We decided to try this pub after seeing the new menu posted online. Our main courses were quite nice, the vegetarian lasagne was far too hot, probably due to fierce microwaving. We waited over half an hour for our desserts & when they arrived, the apple & rhubarb crumble was truly awful. It was a mound of yellow…having had the custard dolloped over the top. It tasted synthetic & was obviously a packet mix. Then I discovered there was no crumble underneath, just an uncooked heap of smudged dough…horrible. I complained politely to the barmaid/waitress…she was extremely sullen & just grabbed the plate without a word of apology. When we asked for the bill, I checked to make sure the dessert was deducted… which it was, however they had charged us for 3 main courses!! When I mentioned this, again, the barmaid was very grumpy and just snatched the bill off us & changed it. We were very disappointed. We were not made to feel welcome at all, although the gentleman we saw upon arrival was friendly. Sadly, we will not return & I would definitely not recommend this pub to anyone.

Great meal. A group of 7 had a meal in the restaurant last night. The meals were excellent, all home made and The hot. The beef stroganoff was lovely and at under £10 an absolute bargain. meals were not obscenely huge, just right to leave room for the delicious desserts!

Good food ànd friendly staff. Will be back

Unpretentious decent food. Excellent service. Update: Unfortunately dropped off a bit. Poor portion size of the pie I had which contained about 3 cubes of chicken. They really do need to do something about the gents toilet,big time!

A group of us had lunch together. The menu was varied and only £11.00 for 2 couses. The food was mainly served in white pudding plates - didnt like that. - apart from the lasagne. Everyone enjoyed the lunch apart from the Chicken casserole. It was heavy on mashed potatoes , no greens and looked insipid with the chicken in a white sauce. Wouldn't score any points for presentation. Shame. Maybe the presentation needs addressing.

Love the Green Dragon. A dog friendly pub with great food and excellent service.

The name of this establishment is super cool. I ate here with my grumpy mom (who forgot her gloves here) and little brother. They would have me give 3stars, but a cultured man like me knows better.

Amazing food. Will be back for more!

Have been meaning to write this review for a while . This is a lovely pub in the gorgeous village of Alderbury. We visited whilst staying for weekend at the shepherd's hut at the nearby Hole Farm. The food was very tasty and the price most reasonable. We sat out in the beer garden at the back because we had a dog with us. The bar manager was very helpful , providing great service and really friendly with the dog, providing treats and kind words / general demeanour. We would certainly recommend and would visit again if we were in the area.

The pub is incredibly (dog) friendly, including the regulars and the staff. The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. Big shoutout to the barman and the waitress working in the evening of the 19th Nov, you made our first time experience at the pub so great and we will definitely be back if we find ourselves up in Salisbury again!

Do yourself a favor and visit this lovely pub/restaurant . The service is unmatched. The staff truly cares about your experience. The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in our mouths. Absolutely the best meal we have had for a while. Highly...

Four stars for atmosphere and service, and whilst food (Roast Beef and Yorkshire pudding) was well cooked and tasty, it was severely let down by stingy meat portions (2 one-mouthful slices). Draft ale choice was limited too sadly with just two choices - though the...

Great Pub, village setting lovely beer garden

My husband & I have visited the Green Dragon frequently & find the food homely, tasty & great value for money. The fish pie is superb & stacked with lovely fresh fish & creamy mash. A varied selection on their menu & specials occasionally on...

No welcome whatsoever. Felt really uncomfortable. We left and won't be back.

Beautiful pub in an idyllic setting. The food however was about as basic as it gets. My small burger arrived on an un-buttered bun with a Macdonald's type small patty and a few chips. For the price, I expected much more.

Good ambience. Friendly & helpful staff and delicious food. What's not to like, give it a try!

Expensive for the food you get, drinks more expensive than any other pub we tried whilst on holiday.

Great village pub with great beers and ciders and a pleasant garden

The Pub has a small but pleasant restaurant with a cosy feel. I really enjoyed my roast Sunday lunch of Lamb with all the trimmings. There was plenty of meat with a good variety of vegetables and an enormous Yorkshire pudding. One of my fellow...

Great food, good menu, friendly service. Would highly recommend

Called in for a lunchtime drink, very welcoming. Menu looks good, so we will be returning for an evening meal before too long

Really friendly staff, nice beer. It was quiet but has a nice garden, especially in the April evening sunshine. I can't review the food as I haven't tried.

Entering the front door, turning right for the lounge bar we find the door has a “No Entry” sign on it. So we proceed left into the “Public Bar”. This is a very strange room devoid of any furniture, just a long shelf around most...

Went to the pub for the first time for mother's Day...with 3 children. The roast dinners are amazing value for money and really tasty! The desert's are huge and delicious! I'm really fussy with my roast dinners but this place ticks all the boxes.. will...

Lovely little pub , impressive quality of food , had the halloumi fish and chips , we felt very welcome as we was here on holiday , great price and a great beer garden we really recommend

Great home made food- local atmosphere- great prices with generous portions!

Excellent local pub fresh cooked food. Great friendly and quick service. We have been back time and time again over the last 7 months and have never been disappointed! We will be back again!!

My daughter and I visited for lunch. She had the chicken, bacon and leek pie and I had the burger. I’m not normally a burger fan but just had a fancy for one. I certainly made the right choice! It was delicious and obviously home...

Sunday lunch...really good very tasty very good value. Staff very freindly.

Great tasting food, had homemade steak and mushroom pie. Wife had lamb shanks. Also took away homemade cake which was delicious and most.

We went there for a birthday meal yesterday evening. The pub was fairly busy with a few locals having a couple of pints at the bar. Once seated, drinks orders and food orders were reasonably quick but then food took 45 mins or more to come out, which was a long time to be waiting. During the wait, no one came over to ask if we’d like some more drinks which was disappointing. Once food arrived it was delicious (I can attest to the mussels and beautiful sauce) but once finished, it took them a while to clear the table and ask if we wanted any more drinks or anything. Eventually we did have to call someone over as they had seemingly forgotten about us. If you’re happy to be kept waiting a long time then do pop along because the food is delicious, otherwise you might be better off elsewhere.

We met with a relative and had lunch for three. The menu and food quality were excellent, the service was good and friendly and the meals were good value.

Popped in here while having a weekend away and I have to say it's a very inviting pub! The staff are very friendly the place was warm and clean and the prices were very reasonable with a good choice on the menu! The beer was nice and so was the coffee, I can highly recommend popping in if you're around the area! Excellent service and with a friendly smile

Beautiful place excellent food lovely staff.

Another great lunchtime at the Green Dragon. Food is always delicious (I had the homemade fish pie ) and lots of it. As for Vicky's cakes, well they are to die for. Looking forward to my next visit.

A gem of a local pub. We had drinks in the garden then stayed for an evening meal. The food was just delicious, one of the best dessert boards I've seen for a long time. You could just tell the food was beautifully homemade. British...

We had lunch in the garden of the Green Dragon. I had a ham ploughman's and my husband had a bacon and brie baguette. Both very tasty. Staff wore masks and were friendly. Would like a choice of ham or cheese baguette. Will go back.

We had two evening meals which were very tasty and you could tell the food was homemade.Portions were generous and the staff were very helpful.

We have met here before but it is our first time sitting in the garden on a warm day. The beer from the Hopback Brewery is excellent and the food includes pie of the day, fish and chips and whitebait. The desserts comprise six cold...

We stopped off here on our way home after a long family day out. It was perfect . Great food for us and our three children . Lovely friendly staff and reasonably priced . Highly recommend .

Great food and nice view from beer garden.

Great service.nothing too much trouble

Service was great the food was ok. I had the brie, mushroom & spinach Wellington. It was a bit gritty and not much brie. The taste was a bit bland and the gravy made the pastry soggy. My husband's meal of mussels and chips was nice though. The chips were really crispy. We shared a sticky toffee pudding and asked for ice cream, but it came with custard and ice cream. It was tasty but not as rich as expected. I think we might have been given the syrup pudding instead.

Beautiful pub with excellent food.

Really lovely pub with very friendly staff and beautiful food. Great atmosphere and ideal for everyone.

Beautiful old, traditional pub dating back to the 15th century! Visited here for a few drinks and an evening meal and was not disappointed. Local pale ale of Crop Circle is very good, light but good hoppy flavour. Stayed for tea, both had lasagna (one...

Their food is top notch, staff are friendly and kind and they've done amazingly through the Covid Pandemic.

Food was really plentiful and tasted

Staying near so thought to book a table. Very good with COVID guidance and the young girl serving was clearly on her own (sorry didn’t get your name) but she was excellent. Run off her feet but nothing was too much trouble. Lovely and accommodating. You need to look after staff like this! She was amazing. Thank you. Food was excellent too 👍

Food excellent, all homemade. Staff great very attentive. Puddings yummy. Highly recommended !

Lovely Sunday roast for this Valentines Day. Everything just right; beef, potatoes, veg, parsnips and gravy. All the more appreciated in COVID times. Many thanks Stay safe

Just had a fantastic Sunday lunch, takeaway due to Covid. Generous portions of very tasty beef or pork with all the trimmings. Yummy! :-)

Another lovely meal here in a safe environment. The place is very carefully managed to ensure any risk from Covid-19 has been eliminated or reduced to the absolute minimum to protect customers and staff. Meals are still very nice and reasonably priced and they even do a takeaway or delivery service.

We came for a drink one afternoon whilst staying in an air bnb down the road. The staff were so friendly that we decided to go back for our evening meal. Again the waitress was great and the food was too. Big portions and super...
