The Green Dragon in Hertsmere

Some where worth visiting for a lovely bit of grub!

I went on a Wednesday lunchtime with my husband and dog. Felt very welcome as soon as we entered- the dog was given lots of attention! Very friendly staff with no up selling at all. Food came in good time and was delicious. I would recommend the lamb shank. We are definitely going back. The price is very good too.

Incredibly disappointed, visited to have a quick drink for half an hour before heading home to be told Sunday isn’t a drinking day by a very grumpy manager. Appreciate Sunday is primarily a good old roast day but it was half empty and there were multiple unoccupied tables at the time of visiting which was mid afternoon and certainly after the lunch rush. I am a regular there and bring my work team weekly for the steak night which made the service even more painful. The food / drink is good! Alternative nearby pub welcomed warmly despite being very full.

Always Excellent food ,made by a chef with fresh local ingredients ,not pre chilled like so many places these days ,good value and staff are lovely , will be back soon 😀 thank you

I highly recommend the green dragon, The food was excellent and the staff were friendly and hardworking thank you 👍

First time visit, but well worth it. Food was great, especially the lamb chops that were cooked to perfection. Will definitely be going back.

Really lovely pub. Great food and spot on service. Definitely worth a visit.

Have eaten here a few times. Twice in the last year I think. Good food and service. Thursday night is 30% off which is needed because would have been a little expensive without the discount.

Excellent lunchtime menu, great food & service

5 of us (3 adults, 2 kids) ate 2 courses. ZERO complaints. Service = attentive, friendly, perfect. Food = tasty, hot, fresh, perfectly cooked! Honestly, what a breath of fresh air to find the quality this place offers without being pompous and pretentious. Well done!!!

The standard of the food and the presentation is far better than the previous tennents managed to achieve. When you take into account the extremely reasonable pricing plus all the special various deals in particular nights like the 2 steak meals for the price of 1 then it is certainly a lot of value for the money. Portions are also very generous.

My top favourite pub. The chef is extraordinary he definitely makes the best stakes I've ever had. The staff is super lovely. Can't recommend it enough.

A good Sunday lunch with exceptionally attentive service. Thank you.

Lovely food and great service Would definitely return

Great food, didn’t need to book, just tried it on way home from London from searching reviews in area. Didn’t disappoint, would recommend.

Pub just outside town, lovely for a relaxing lunch during the week. Service and food both very good.

Had my son’s christening here in July for around 50 people and it genuinely couldn’t have gone better. Matt and his team were fantastic in the preparation and allowed us to come in before the pub opened to set up the area and put all the flowers out. All the kids had enough space to play in the garden and said we could have bouncy castle if we wanted to. Food was superb with no faults across all guest and very reasonable for two courses on the lunch menu. All in all we had a fantastic time and were very grateful. Some of the guests have already booked to use the pub for another party.

Average to poor food. Highly overpriced.

WOW!! Our first time there and definitely not our last. It was an impulse decision and a very good one. We didn’t have a reservation but were lucky enough to get a table. The food, venue and staff are superb. The sea bream special was scrumptious and hope it’s on their menu again. Onion soup starter and buffalo wings to share were very tasty. Thank you and see you soon.

The gentlemen that attended us where impecable, nice, smiley and super correct. Thanks for the restoration in our tough days. Great fresh high quality food.

Just lunching now at the Green Dragon, staff so friendly, dogs always welcomed. No fuss, Wonderful hearty food at very competitive prices. Great place to chill outdoors overlooking the fields. Highly recommend

Wonderful food, great portion sizes and friendly staff!

Always such a lovely experience at this gem of a pub! From the food, the friendly service and the wonderful garden, it really does cater to all. We must protect local pubs and not “chains” like this in the area at all costs - the puddings too are also delicious.

1st visit.....definitely wont be our last! Ambiance, food and service first class. Michael even ensured our dog Ted was watered n given a tasty treat.....so kind and beyond our expectations. Really appreciated such a nice unhurried, long lunch. Thank you guys and see you again soon. Regards Kathy.

Great pub with restaurant food. Friendly and welcoming staff in a very nice location, especially for a sunny Sunday roast

Great place, I go there every week and am always very well treated. Food is good, atmosphere cosy and quiet, great outdoor space too

rude staff, terrible service food was okay

Really welcoming with good service. Excellent vegetarian Wellington with gravy and Yorkshire pudding. The haloumi stack was also good with a variety of vegetables dressed with pesto. Elegant beer garden with views of the neighbouring fields.

Food was lovely however no atmosphere and from the moment we entered we were being rushed even though the table was not booked after us - so won’t return

Passed by when returning to London after a long weekend break. Staff were cold and seemed confused and uncomfortable with our presence. We’re initially seated overlooking the fields, then when we were only staying for a drink we’re relocated to a table overlooking the bin store and car park. Very London. Shouldn’t have made eye contact.

We really enjoyed the food. A good variety on the menu for all and reasonably priced. Lunch menu £15.95 2 courses. Everyone enjoyed what they had. No packet food here all cooked from scratch with great flavour thank you !

Such a shame to be writing this, after a positive reviews from previous experiences. I feel obligated to write what happened during a family meal out. Order four steak all differently cooked, the manager brought out two of the steaks when asked, how were these steaks cooked, he replied he did not know and rudely put the steaks down on the table and walked off. Shocking behaviour from a manager. If he was unsure, that’s fine but he could have said it politely. Unfortunately due to this, you have lost very good customers. But we certainly won’t be returning when there are plenty of other great restaurants near by with management that have time and appreciate customers 👎🏼

Lovely food, drinks and service. Sat outside first and really lovely views too. Would definitely recommend ☺️

Really good Sunday Roast and amazing service

We visited for a Sunday roast this Sunday. We got there early and sat in their lovely garden over looking the fields in the sunshine with a drink. The service was amazing, friendly, knowledgeable and quick and the roast was amazing and the kids roast is massive. Would highly recommend!

Delicious, freshly cooked food in a bucolic setting. What else can you ask for?

Excellent food, lovely location in the countryside on the edge of north London

Very good food - highly recommended

The same every time-probably fourth family meal we have had here, always friendly and accommodating. Meals are plentiful and wholesome and very good value for money compared to other local pubs in the area. The pub is a bit of the beaten track, but worth it when you get here.

The staff were too busy chatting to recognise I was stood waiting, so I sat at a dining table and was still ignored. I noticed one lady was wearing a uniform tee shirt and asked her if she works there, to which she replied "Yes". I asked for a menu and she asked me if I'd booked (this was 12:15pm on a Saturday). I replied "No" and she said I could have a table anyway..

My wife and I went for to the Green Dragon for lunch lunch yesterday,where as usual the menu was varied & interesting,and the service polite & attentive.We were shown into the back conservatory where,in the sunny conditions & 17C temperature,the dining experience was most pleasant.It was not enhanced by the arrival at an adjacent table of people who were short & offhand to the staff but,thankfully, didn't stay - allowing the other diners to enjoy their meal.

We went to the Green Dragon today when the outside temperature was 17 degrees. We were shown into the back conservatory where the door to the garden was wide open and there was a strong draught from other open doors. It was too cold for me there so we decided to move to the main dining room. This seemed to perturb the manager who became quite sniffy about us moving. Again, there was door open behind me causing a significant drdraught so I closed it. I explained this to a member of staff who gave a curt reply. We decided to leave and eat elsewhere. This isn’t the first time I have found the manager to be unfriendly. Interestingly, the Green Dragon was half empty whereas the Duke of York was full. I wonder why?

Had the nicest meal in the afternoon sun today! Staff were so friendly and welcoming a hidden gem - highly recommended!

Just been for a lovely Sunday lunch with my wife and daughter. Great menu with lots of specials. Sirloin beef was really well cooked and Gnocci was tasty. They also have a kids menu and my daughter liked her fish and chips. Friendly and attentive service and lovely breeze from the open doors to cool you down on a warm day like today. We'll be back.

Lovely pub with beautiful views, delicious food, friendly and professional staff - highly recommended!

Went with family and had a wonderful time. The pork belly was delicious. Really recommend it.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now - the food quality here is unbeatable and very reasonably priced. I haven’t found anything comparable in the Enfield or Barnet area so we keep returning for birthdays, Sunday roasts, date nights and the Tuesday steak night especially (rib eye is incredible). Staff are always friendly and especially enjoy the cosy interior and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommended!

Love our local. They so friendly and dog friendly. Their roasts are lush!

This is my first visit and the vegetarian roast is the best I have ever had. Also, Ellie is a fabulous very friendly waitress. As are all the staff. Will definitely be back.

Great food great service come hear most Tuesday's for the 2 for 1 steak night great quality and value and very friendly and welcoming staff would recommend

Cannot recommend the Green Dragon enough! Micheal and his team were amazing and bent over backwards to make our special day even more special. The food was amazing!! We will be going back time and time again!!! Jack and Faye Rushton xxx

Wonderful place with great food and service!

Been a couple of times now and again, very good service and food. Good parking! Definitely be returning!

Ate at the this pub yesterday evening, never been there before and a bit out of the way but well worth going. Food was excellent and freshly cooked. I had the belly pork, and my partner the lamb shank. Both were perfectly cooked and presented. Will definitely be going there again.

Nice little pub in the middle of nowhere. The.food is amazing and the staff really friendly. It's an independent pub and I believe we should support these businesses if they deserve it and this pub surely does. I recommend the lamb shank and the pork belly.

Roast beef dinner, lovely. Is getting more expensive though. Meal two starters, 2 roast dinners and 3 beers, £88.

Meal for two,with mains, dessert and four drinks was £90. Food and service were good.

Love this pub.....a regular visitor on a Friday evening and occasionally other nights. The manager and staff are very friendly and the food is exceptional. There are some great offers on atm so best to book. If l could change something, l would love to see the vegan curry on the main menu as it's perfectly cooked and my personal favourite! I would also introduce some live music as l think it would be a great hit with the customers. A 5 stars for me!

Super steak and even more super service from Ellie in a wonderful pub. Thank you lots xxx

Brilliant food, have never had a bad meal - always good service and varied menu. Would recommend

We had a the best meal today very good willgo a gain and recommend

Awesome Sunday service. Dog friendly with a great Sunday menu. Though do need to book in advance to avoid Sunday disappointment

The food is always fabulous here. Sunday roast is a must with the best Yorkshire puddings that would impress James Martin! Alana our waitress was very welcoming and so helpful she really is a delightful young lady and the green dragon are very lucky to have her. All the staff are very welcoming but Alana deserves a special shout out, thank you for looking after us today!

Family meal happy with the service and food would definitely return again

Brilliant local pub. Great food and fantastic service

Excellent food and service, we’ll be back!

Always a great place to come. Rebellion ale, best wine and fantastic steaks and other mains and desserts. Our waitress Ellie is very helpful, as are the rest of the team.

Grreat as always… been my local for many years and still a great place to eat and drink

Great steaks. One of our favourites when we fancy being carnivores.

Great food and atmosphere as well as service. Was served by Mark, friendly and professional guy. Cheers

Delicious Sunday Roast and pudding! I highly recommend for a family or friends outing. Dog friendly. Clean toilets. Happy days 😎

Had a delicious Chicken Salad & Ellie was so amazing 🤩!!!!!

Always like visiting here whether midweek or weekend. Great view from the conservatory over the fields

I have driven past this lovely pub innumerable times but today was my first visit. It will definitely not be the last. Highly recommended!

I have eaten at the Green Dragon many times and the food is always delicious. The staff are helpful and professional. We enjoy the Green Dragon so much that we decided to have our daughter’s baptism reception there. As always, the food that was served was of good quality and taste. The staff were extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the day was a great success. I can’t recommend enough!

We have been coming to the Green Dragon for years and have always had a delicious meal here. We particularly love the 241 steak nights on Tuesdays. Every meal we've ever had here has been fab and the service is always attentive and friendly. Perfect for cosy winter lunches and dinners as well as summer days especially with the nice garden out the back looking over the field. Also dog friendly for the cherry on top :)

Best Sunday roast locally. Superb!

I've cycled or driven past this place for nearly 30 years and finally had a chance to stop for a pint. Only 1 ale (Rebellion IPA), well kept. Friendly, helpful staff.

I haven't actually been for a meal to the Green Dragon because I live a bit too far away. However, my brother loves the food which they serve there and he says that the chef there makes the best mushroom soup he has ever tasted!

We were accommodated on a Sunday without a booking with our baby son. They were extremely friendly and quick with service. The food was delicious we had the pork belly roast (a huge portion!) and ox cheek (melt in the mouth). Extremely tasty and decent portions. Would definitely recommend and revisit if we're in the area.

We haven't eaten here in a while but food was always lovely we usually just pop in for a cocktail or two. The Apple Pietini is amazing! Lovely staff.

Sometime since last visited . Greatly improved, good menu with excellent choices for all good value and excellent friendly service. Plan to visit again with family.

I wasn't especially impressed by the meal but very impressed by the efforts to address our quibbles! These guys work really hard to make this a success and our neighbours recommended it very highly. Just proves the old adage - you can't get it right every time. But what they do seem to get right is the follow up when things go a bit awry

Absolutely love this place, possibly the best pub gastro food I’ve had! Brilliant staff, lovely atmosphere. We were a big group they looked after us so well

Excellent place! Delicious Sunday roasted!! The vegetables were delicious. The service is excellent.

Food was ok to good... but really let down by the rude management, shame.....

Took my mum up there for her birthday, on a recommendation.... the roasts are the dogs... will be back again

My partner and I had Sunday lunch at the pub today. We were pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. The whole atmosphere and the service was very good. This pub jumps to the top of our go-to list, particularly because the Sunday lunch was so delicious.

Absolutely superb Sunday roast. Everything perfect. Thank you all hard working staff for making it such a special experience.

Visited with friends for a mid week meal. Everything was excellent. I’m doing Dry January and they got me some Guinness Zero for me. They are located outside the ULEZ Zone. Definitely going back.

Reserved a table for Christmas dinner with the girls, table at the back on the conservatory, got quite busy and noisy but I guess that's expected with the holidays. Room got super hot at a point but as soon as it was pointed out they sorted it immediately. The service was pretty good and the food was absolutely amazing!!! The Trio-roast dinner is absolutely heavenly with all the meats cooked to perfection. The beef came exactly on the point we each requested and the veggies were spot on as well. We were a group of 6 and we ordered starters, mains and pudding as well as 2-3 rounds of drinks; it all came to £74/pp. Pretty decent price Definitely will visit again.

Can’t fault the food was amazing just a shame they decided because they wasn’t busy enough that at 9.20 told us bar was closing and they were closing early,

Excellent 2 courses for lunch £15.95 weekdays. Special offers some weekday evenings, dearer weekend. Especially recommend home-made fish cake starter.

Really nice Sunday lunch. Served quickly, nice atmosphere and great service. Best of all the food, really tasty.

We went for a Sunday Roast and it was delicious. The beef was cooked really well and the portion size was great. Quick service, really busy and lovely staff! Sticky toffee pudding was also yummy.

Very decent steak + general pub grub. Service could be better during busier times.

great family friendly pub, fantastic food, very helpful staff! I had the chicken burger with chips, and it was by far the best food around the area, and probably the best chicken burger i've ever had

Not our first time there, and surely not the last! Traditional Pub with good food and friendly staff! Pet friendly, something that tells a lot to us!

Really superb. Great service, great food - plz do a Tapas night!
