The Green Dragon in Hertsmere

Says opens at 11 on a Saturday Here at 11.45 not open

The food was exceptional, served promptly, and the portion sizes were generous for the affordable prices. The beef rib was tender, flavorful, and fell right off the bone. My family enjoyed the lamb as well, and we couldn't find any faults with it. Would highly recommend.

Really great pub with a decor that defies it’s exterior look… from the outside, I wouldn’t have thought it was nice as it is. The service was top notch, attentive but not at all hurried which gave us plenty of relaxed time to enjoy our lovely roast dinners. The veggie wellington option was very special and didn’t follow the standard, and disappointing, route that so many other eateries do of making it sweet with cranberries or other fruits. This along with tender roast beef, generous veggies and crisp roast potatoes means we’ll definitely be back. And the apple crumble requires a special mention. When it arrived with the custard within the dish, I must admit we thought it wouldn’t work, but it really did! The crumble topping was one of the best we’ve ever had… don’t miss it!

I can't comment on the food. We were unable to get a seat the place was way too busy.

Previously food and service has been good. Last Sunday was dreadful. We were stuck in a corner at back even with a reservation. No reason given as to why we couldn’t sit in the main pub area. Service was poor. Only one type of salad available. Described as Caesar but it clearly isn’t. Mine was presented with a garlic mayo in the side. That isn’t a dressing?!!! We were left for ages after mains. We weren’t offered desserts. Then a chap appeared with the bill and said ‘you only have the table for another 15 minutes’. Utterly dreadful service. I’m afraid that this is a venue that can’t cope with the busy Sunday service so I won’t be back again. Weekdays from experience have been ok.

Great food and the service was fantastic. Relaxed atmosphere

A very pleasant hour, feeling safe, outside, in the summer rain. Very nice staff. Everyone respecting Covid safety. 👍

Amazing food ! Sunday roast is Lush!!

First time at this pub and the food didn't disappoint. Out of the 7 of us dining, 5 had the roast which was delicious and two children loved their burgers.I'm a vegetarian and it was nice to see a good choice on the menu for once and the vegetarian Wellington was melt in the mouth. Desserts also didn't disappoint I had the lemon torte with blood orange sorbet, the others enjoyed salted caramel cheesecake, sticky toffee pudding and brownie. Will definitely be back and the beer garden has spectacular sunny countryside views so I'm sure our next visit will be yo enjoy a warm summers day. Service was great and staff were interested in what we thought about the food.

A lovely place to meet friends as its a typical old pub and always ask to be put by the fireplace as it doesn't have the same atmosphere being in the conservatory, but in the summer, the views are lovely so sit outside. The food is always good so we go for Sunday lunch

Great food had the seabass and seafood linguine lovely the wife had Fillet steak cooked as ordered and very good flavour

This place is perfect. In the summer the terrace over looking the fields is beautiful and in the winter the indoors is cosy and welcoming. The food is superb and the mid weekly deals such as steak night are a great bargain. I recently held my husbands birthday in their private event space too - the organization was seamless (thanks to Haimish) and a private dinner for 24 went off without a hitch. They were super accommodating for the kids, dog friendly and the staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. Always giving this place a 10/10!!!

Good pub food, convenient location with a lot of parking.

This place is amazing. The service, the food and atmosphere is 10 out of 10. The boys are very attentive and the food is great 👍 We go there in regular basis and never been disappointed!

Went for a lovely family meal here last weekend (3 adults, 2 kids under 5). Food was really good as always - worth the drive out of Barnet! Good service too.

We were looking somewhere for lunch and passed by and decided to give it a try. We were glad we did. We were given a warm welcome and had a lovely fish lunch - the scallops and whole fish were the special for the day and were fantastic. The service was attentive and friendly. The only negative for us was we were unable to pay by cash.

We’ve been back to the Green Dragon after a while and realised again what a lovely place it is! Nice warm atmosphere, friendly staff, great service and the food is amazing! Nice portions and very tasty. They also have great offers on!

A great place to go for lunch or dinner! The food is always of an excellent standard, service is friendly and efficient, and there is a wonderful atmosphere when the fire is lit. Good value for money, often with special offers during the week. I would highly recommend this gastropub for friends and family. They do a delicious Sunday lunch!

Came on a high recommendation with my U3a group, 6 of us. Very nice table Sadly the food was disappointing to say the least. Calamari was tough, spring roll looked pathetic, my own single overdone rasher of streaky bacon sat forlornly on some potato product. Not nice. For mains one had an overpriced beef burger which she said she could have soled her shoe with & the chips were just potatoes cut in half and fried. Three of us had chicken. The chicken was good but there was no mash, just hassle back potatoes, which were very small and uninteresting. The broccoli was so tough we couldn’t cut it with our knives. £117 later we left to have dessert and coffee at a member’s home. Also there is no disabled toilet and one lady with a walking aid found it almost impossible to negotiate the two doors to even get into the ladies.

Amazing service, lovely staff and indelible steak

Fantastic value here. Food delicious and great choice by by

Great local Barnet gastro pub. The food is always excellent and way above the average pub grub. Obviously have a good chef in their kitchen. Fantastic offers on throughout the week and Sunday lunch highly recommended

A great place to eat, just 3 mins from South Mims services. Plenty of parking. Staff were welcoming and plenty of seating available. Menu choices were good and service was quick. Food was excellent and portion size good. The only negative thing . Was the bill was not accurate. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Food and atmosphere are decent. But unfortunately the staff at the front door is way too direct and it doesn't feel like good customer service. It sounded like I was working for him when he told me to sit at a table and not to go outside. His tone didn't feel right

We had a large table for 12 of us. We were sat in the room at the back we had more or less to ourselves and it was perfect. The restaurant was warm, the staff friendly and the food was really good. Thank you ❤️

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the food and drinks. We booked a large group with a dog, two toddlers and a baby. We had plenty of room and the staff were very accommodating. Would recommend and revisit. Thanks!

Really friendly staff and food was superb and fresh. Will definitely be recommending it and going again.

The food is fantastic. The crispness on the wings and the lamb was as if it were cooked on a BBQ. It was amazing.

Went for Sunday lunch, was delicious, staff were lovely and is a very dog friendly environment. Thank you

We were coming back from Peterborough Saturday night when we went down a large pothole and burst our car tyre making it undrivable. We managed to limp to the Green Dragon car park. The staff were lovely and said we could stay until the breakdown truck arrived. When the pub manager left at midnight he couldn’t believe we were still there. He opened up the pub so I could use the loo and said he would leave the car park unlocked so the recovery van could get in. We were finally picked up at 1.15 am. The kindness we were shown meant such a lot to us. I recommend everyone should visit this lovely pub.

Had a lovely Sunday roast yesterday cooked perfectly ,had Squid to start which was beautiful, good service and very friendly, definitely be returning

Great drinks and friendly atmosphere. We did not eat this time.

Sunday lunch at its best Despite being fully booked the team found us a place and I am so happy they did. the Sunday lunch was fantastic. So much food and a fantastic balance of flavours In short, probably the best Sunday pub lunch around If you have time, or thinking of taking family to Sunday lunch, there is nothing better than The Green Dragon. Just remember to book in plenty of time

We went to the Green Dragon for our family pre-Christmas lunch yesterday, and as usual enjoyed the experience. The menu had a good selection of starters, main courses & desserts, the wine list has a good choice & both food & wine were reasonably priced. Nice service from Ellie & her colleagues complemented the occasion perfectly.

If you’re looking for a perfect spot for a Sunday roast, The Green Dragon Gastropub is an absolute gem. Their Sunday roast is exceptional—generous portions of perfectly cooked meat, crispy roast potatoes, rich gravy, and all the trimmings you’d hope for. The Yorkshire puddings are golden and fluffy (and huge!), and the seasonal vegetables are always fresh and flavourful. The atmosphere adds to the experience, with its cozy, welcoming vibe and attentive staff who ensure you’re well taken care of. It’s clear that care and quality go into every dish. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, The Green Dragon is a must-visit for anyone craving a classic, hearty roast. Highly recommended!

Very good food,gastropub ,drsught beer. Easy parking

Truly excellent experience and really good value. Food wonderful, staff very friendly, professional and helpful. Cosy dining area. Can't recall the last time I saw a selection of scotches and cigars! like this. Icing on the cake BYOB on a Friday! Added to our "must re-visit list".

We had a really amazing lunch this week for 8 friends. Menu was very different and offered so many choices. Very friendly staff and will certainly return and will recommend it.

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.

Wonderful food, great portion sizes and friendly staff!

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

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

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

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 ☺️

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!

Really good Sunday Roast and amazing service

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!

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

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

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
