The Green Dragon in Shropshire

Excellent - had a really great Sunday lunch - and a decent pint! Good food great service (and dog friendly) Will always go when up in that area.

Disappointed again. Veg was frozen and watery. Chicken in pie chewy and lumpy gravy. Staff were lovely but won’t be back for food. Such a shame as keep hearing good reports but been 3 times now and disappointed each time.

Great food, a warm and comfortable environment, Great service. Friendly staff what more do you require from a country pub.

As brilliant as it's sister pub, The Pound in Leebotwood. Good food, wonderful staff and service. Dogs are not only welcome but get lots of fuss from staff ❤️

Poor attitude from Nathan (the manager) he looked annoyed that we hadn’t decided what to order, having been given a few minutes to read the menu. Returned to take our order and was dismissive and stroppy in attitude when we enquired if the vegan burger was made on site or brought in. The cauliflower starter consisted of 3 small sprigs of cauliflower with a jar of sauce on it placed hot on lettuce. The risotto resembled rice pudding. We were deep in conversation and didn’t go to the bar to complain and no staff came to ask how we were finding the food. Nathan, the manager collected plates, my partner let him know the food was disappointing and asked him to feedback to the chef. Nathan was again dismissive and rude. We suggested he may like to consider a discount, again he was defensive and rude but not in relation to our experience, more from a stuff you point of view. A shame as the menu appeared to offer interesting meals but the delivery and quality of products was supermarket poor. I would not recommend.

Upon arrival the person (who I discovered later was the manager, Nathan) confirmed we could have a table, seemed a little off. We hadn't pre booked. The pub wasnt full or busy in anyway. We ordered food which came in a timely manner and all seemed ok. Let me just preface that I had just done a 7 mile walk and was pretty hungry and this place came highly recommended. I ordered a roast mushroom risotto which was a vegan dish. Nathan and I exchanged ideas about the Thai vegan burger not being made on-site as was more hassle so they buy them in. I also ordered some cauliflower as a starter. The starter was ok. My main arrived and as a keen amateur cook I noticed that it was quite overdone however I continued to eat, as was hungry and was hoping to mention to whoever came to talk to check if food was ok. This didn't happen otherwise it would have been raised. When the meal was over Nathan collected the plates and I explained about the consistency of a risotto and it wasn't great. He then remarked that "you ate it though"to which I responded that I was hungry. This wasn't the expected response from staff in a public house with a good reputation. I then pointed out when I went to bar again the issue with the food, then the barman introduced me to Vicky was was the manager. Vicky then was advised about the issue and then she went to the back and got Nathan. Nathan listened to my concern and it seemed that he understood but didn't recognize the real issue here which was a customer raising something that wasn't right. Nathan and I then had a back and forth about my suggestion to a discount on the food of £5-6 as we had a starter and 2 mains. Nathan was adamant that he should have been informed before and then he could have done something about it. He refused the discount. He wouldn't even consider it. I suggested a negotiation and this didn't seem like he wanted to consider. His suggestion during our conversation that Vicky had had the risotto earlier and it was nice isn't a reasonable defense in my view. I also know how to make a decent risotto. I felt that Nathan was rude or doesn't understand basic customer service. I wouldn't recommend this place purely on his attitude. This is location that maybe lots of use due to Nathan advised it's great for beer which i don't drink. Fortunately the location is easy for walkers and transient walkers so therefore they are generally hungry and may just eat anything but if this is the quality. Not a place for customer feedback. I have a decent network so I will share this experience to all my walker friends along with my professional network. Good luck in your future Nathan. From one publican to another....I'm sure to advise my staff about how not to operate

Love this pub. Great food. Great staff. Dog friendly. Have been several times now!

Came here for an early Christmas lunch. Had the most delicious food. Didn't go for the Christmas menu as booked too late but as always the food is divine!

Amazing staff and the food was 10/10! Also the loveliest baby changing room set up I've ever seen, so nice for them to make such an effort!

Excellent pub, we went there after a morning walking on Long Mynd. The food and beer was very good and good value. Staff were friendly and helpful. Our first time there but we will definitely be going back.

Had to travel just over two hours to go a bike dealer that I bought my E-bike from. On the way back home we wanted a lunch before we hit the road and I came across this beautiful put set just off the main road! Was really pleased with the customer service, menu, location of the pub , value for money and my lord you get a generous portion! The soup was had for starters and it was absolutely amazing. Tomato and chilli spicy but really nice helping of bread to go with it! Burger was on the menu so we had the spicy burger ( can’t remember what it was called ) hmmm mmm delicious!! Great value too, two course meal with two coffees was around £55. The fire was lite and made it even more cosy! Great staff always smiled 10/10. They prefer cash as you are supporting the local business but card is absolute fine! Please please visit this pub cause you won’t be disappointed! Defo book in advance we went at lunch time and managed to get a table and car parking space.

Welcoming staff. Cosy pub with good, well priced food.

Lovely lovely place. Great service, very welcoming and an epic burger! Look forward to going back

Lovely little gastro pub. Great place to come for a meal after walking the hills. Foot covers provided if arriving a little muddy!

The evening was perfect. Lovely pub food, warm competent service and a buzz of happy atmosphere.

Great food and good staff. One not to be missed.

What a fantastic place. Lovely and cosy. Friendly staff. The food was delicious 😋 I had chosen the brisket which just melted in your mouth. Nice choice of puddings to. Definitely recommend coming here and I will be coming back.

This pub is a real Gem. Food was amazing we had a Sunday roast drinks and desserts. It was gorgeous staff were lovely would highly recommend

Lovely little pub just outside Church Stretton. Pleasantly busy on a Monday lunchtime. Nice selection of sandwiches and baked potatoes. Efficient friendly service in a lovely rural location.

We stayed just outside Church Stretton for two nights and came to The Green Dragon for dinner both nights. Absolutely gorgeous pub with a wonderful atmosphere and fantastic food. Can't wait to visit again!

Just had a lovely lunch at the Green Dragon, lovely food, great service and lots of nice touches. Would recommend and will be returning soon

Friendly local pub with superb food.

Lovely pub. Friendly efficient service. Good price. Great ambience and wonderful food. Dog friendly. In other words - perfect!

We last passed this way 8 years ago and have never forgotten our first time! This is one of those pubs whose meals you always remember with beaming smiles! So finding ourselves nearby we deliberately pointed the car in the direction of this lovely homely pub. The food still came in mountainous plates of deliciousness! I had the chef’s special beef brisket. It arrived piping hot, with lashings of absolutely divine tasting gravy, and so unctuous it just melted in the mouth. Heaven on a plate ! My chap tucked into his chicken pie and chips with equal gusto, happy to also have lashings of gravy ! Yes the Dragon hasn’t lost any of its magic. We will make sure we return sooner next time !

S thank you. we will go back again. Succulent and tasty green dragon spicy burger and fries. for desert i ask for lemon sorbet, not in the menu, but they manage to find me some. they treated us like 5 stars.. We will go back again. frederic Jollivet

Very tasty food. Service was exemplary, friendly and accommodating.

The only available location for food in the area, serving until 8:30. We were not disappointed. We rang up, only 10 minutes away. They reserved us a table and we were given our menus and offered drinks as soon as we sat down. They served some homely, pub foods with special dishes which were great in portion and good value for money. I was indecisive regarding mash or chips, they offered a portion of both. Would recommend and return. Parking wasn't brilliant but so glad we found it when we did!

Fantastic all round, service, food, price. Absolutely lovely place.

Warm welcome & food delicious as ever. We ordered one Steak Ciabata and one Brie & Cranberry sandwich, then swapped half each ... best of both worlds! YUM... Beautifully presented & more importantly...delicious! Sorry, too hungry today to take pics! Brie & Cranberry on lovely fresh granary bread .. My friend requested steak well done ... Im a medium rare, but it was the best well done steak I've ever had, soooo tender & tasty! My friends first visit, and lived up to my recommendation, so like me, she'll be back!

Warm and friendly welcome. Good food nicely prepared. Highly recommend

Great food brilliantly run local pub

Dropped in without booking and despite being busy they found us a table. We were warned up front that bookings were prioritised but we shouldn’t have to wait too long. Within 20 minutes the food arrived, piping hot, well cooked and presented. Even had a sweet and the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream was wonderful, the chocolate sundae was devoured with gusto! Friendly staff and although only 3 at front of house, never felt ignored. A 10/10 experience. We will be back!

Cracking little pub with good portions of food. Great views from rear garden.

Lovely meal great views of carding mill valley

Fantastic! Never been before and can definitely recommend. Staff were very friendly and considerate. We only mentioned once that there were some intolerances, and both staff remembered throughout, even down to the chocolate with the bill, highlighting they were okay for us to eat. Not only were the staff great, the menu had a brilliant selection, catering to everyone with clear allergen info. And the food was delicious! We will be returning!

Was recommended by a local and certainly wasn't disappointed, nice pub, Wye Valley HPA and tasty food. Nice feel to the place too, set off the main road but well worth the short diversion.

I had the confit duck from the specials board, which was very tasty. The Buty Bach was well kept. And the staff were friendly

Advisable to book a table and certainly worth a visit. My marie rose prawn and smoked salmon salad was delicious and my wife had two starters (soup and chicken tenders) which was more than enough. Good choice of ales and great friendly service.

The Brie and cranberry sandwich today was nice but was £8 and not £9. I queried the price but you didn’t check. So I was overcharged. I assumed you knew and you didn’t. I left with a bad feeling.

Perfect service, and tasty food at great prices. The quality of the steak, eggs and chips were great for £18! The first night we went we couldn’t get in as they were fully booked, so would recommend booking which we did for the second night so we didn’t miss out. Dog friendly.

Outstanding food and range of drinks, served by the cheerful, friendly, efficient staff. Great value as well and a very welcoming atmosphere.

Catered for our big group really well, even with complicated requests. Lovely service, nice pub. Delicious food, well worth the money.

Lovely pub in a beautiful location. Dined with friends and we all had delicious meals. The menu is varied and the portions are good. It is clear why this pub is so popular. Definitely recommend.

Popped in with our dog and they were happy to accommodate. Very friendly staff, great food. Would highly recommend

Fish portion was small. And food was good but not great. Nice atmosphere and staff

Very much a summer pub. Wonderful outdoor area. Our meals were quite basic but done well. Exactly what we would expect from a village pub. Lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely village pub. Friendly hosts. Great meals. We found it gets very busy, so advise to book. You can walk up the lane next to the pub. One way takes you to Ashes Valley and if you take a left turn, it takes you up to Minton and on to the rail crossing at Marshbrook.

Absolutely lovely pub, glad we found this one! Food and service amazing, 5 stars from me

Enjoyed a family meal here on a Sunday; great service and good food. Reasonable selection of drinks as well with a beer garden for children. Lovely views of the Long Mynd. Limited parking of busy (which it was) so be mindful of that!

Food was excellent, ambiance great. Served fast by friendly people. Definitely will go back.

Absolutely awful from start to finish. Would NOT recommend. Had a chicken burger and couldn't even cut through it it was so overcooked. Atmosphere was horrendous - loud, rowdy and could barely hear each other speak. Lastly, the service was appalling. We asked twice for the desert menu and were completely forgotten about. The menu never came and after asking twice and waiting we left. One of the worst places I've been to for years.

I booked and ate here twice last week with my very elderly mother and her carer. The food was excellent and the staff very attentive. Thank you for a lovely relaxing meal on our journey. No room for pudding or we would have had some! A perfect end to our holiday.

They have chips and beer. Staff are friendly. Vinegar is available.

What a gem of pub! After hiking around the area, and slightly getting lost we stumbled upon this country pub. We were welcomed and seated in a friendly efficient manor. I was torn between what to have and the waiter was very helpful in recommending a beef pie- and I was not disappointed. However having a sweet tooth, for me the desert was the best, the cheesecake of the day was divine! Totally recommend this country pub, great service, great price, great staff!

Popped in for lunch whilst meeting up with brother in law.We had no expectations not being local to the area. Food was very good staff friendly and set in a picturesque location very good.

Nice food but sadly very let down by the lukewarm service and minimal eye contact, felt like I wasn’t welcome and being served at the bar was a favour. Think I’ll stay to The Station Inn down the road.

The food was lovely 😍. The staff were very attentive. It was early evening so quiet but customers were in.

It is the first time I have been there for over 30 years but it will not be that long before I return. The brisket of beef was excellent, I would recommend it to anyone

Stopped for lunch on way home from camping nearby, nice food and beer garden with play area for kids. Tasty food and good beer, wish it was my local!

Had a family get-together with Sunday lunch. Beef was a little tough to cut, perhaps knives needed sharpening, but all very tasty and excellent service.

Great pub and garden area, great selection of ales, great food served all day!! 😃

Sunday dinner, in the sun, with gorgeous views of Long Mynd! Went for the beef and was not disappointed. Absolutely gorgeous. Dog friendly. Must book - it gets really busy...for a reason!

Good atmosphere. Welcomed and served our group of 11, quickly and attentively.

Very welcoming and nice place, with a great garden view. Also amazing food 😋

Lovely place, however the food was a little underwhelming. Got the beef brisket. Felt like it was left over beef from the roast earlier, very chewy. Enjoyed the setting and the drinks. Good vegan options!

Great find after a long walk in Church Stretton. Excellent food and a cosy, friendly atmosphere. Dog 🐕 friendly as all pubs should be too.

We were recommended the green dragon by people we chatted to on our walk as they do food allday, I called in the afternoon to book a table as there was x6 of us. Booked in at 4pm and we arrived and eveytable was booked out and people kept arriving for there tables glad we booked. We all had burgers as the menu was mouth watering. Our favourite two burgers had to be the dragon burger and cajun burger we all tried each others wonderful. No room for puddings. As for the ales we kept going as they are kept so well beautiful crisp taste to all of them. The staff we found friendly chatty and told us more about church stretton. We saw the review below and cant understand the review they left as at 4pm all the tables had people on them for people who had booked i think this person must have had a off day. Thankyou all we will be back to try more of the amazing food soon.

Popped in to this great little pub whilst camping locally, Dog friendly and great atmosphere, was a Saturday evening so was busy, so would advise to pre book a table, good selection of beer and lagers, we had a table outside as the pub was full but all catered for outside with cutlery and condiments close to hand. Great views looking over the fields towards the hills. Food was hot and good size portions, we had starters and a main, we was advised that there would be. 15 min wait between courses but it needed up being 30 mins, presume it was due to it being busy. Staff were all pleasant and welcoming. We’ll be back again when we’re in that area.

Lovely pub perfect for a bike ride

We had an inkling this was an unfriendly pub when we saw all the negative signs in the entrance porch about muddy boots and the like. Inside the few tables in front of the bar were full. Not sure why at 3.30pm in the afternoon on a Saturday every other table in the place had a reserved sign on it and was set for dinner. Wanting to rest after our walk we walked a few doors up to the Ragleth Inn where the tables remained free to use until dinner guests arrived at 5pm.

This is a proper pub run by nice friendly staff with considerate senior manager/owners Why not try ThePound in Leebotwood if you like this one as it’s owned by the same team as the Green Dragon Good beer and great food at very fair prices at both pubs Very popular so book if you can but don’t miss it If the weather holds up you can eat outside at either too!

Second day of our holiday we went here for Sunday lunch. What a find, great food, good service and a very friendly atmosphere. Our two dogs, Annie the Jack Russell and Megan the border collie were made to feel at home, given treats by the staff. Enjoyed The Green Dragon so much that we called in every day for a drink after spending the day doing our tourist bit, a pub with locals who were all friendly.

Smashing pub with a great Sunday Roast. Well worth a visit.

We ate here midweek lunch time after a lovely long walk, and we were quite impressed by the pleasant staff, atmosphere, and the lovely welcoming fire. We only fancied a couple of items to eat, and there was a good selection of bar snacks to choose from. What arrived looked and tasted great.

Mary and I were staying at Acton Scott in a sheperd's hut. We decided to celebrate our Golden Wedding with a meal at the Green Dragon. What a superb experience. We ate in the formal dining room and were suprised to find that the staff had decorated the table for us. How special. The excellent food and atmosphere were second to none. Thanks to all the staff who made this a memorable evening.

Food up to the expected standards, missed out on 5 stars this time as I couldn't persuade them to reduce portion size I dislike having to leave excellent food. "Atmosphere" was a little crowded for lunch time, however, they were not using all of the accommodation they have. They have an associated pub "The Pound" that we hope to visit in May!

Fabulous food, service and setting. My parents said it was the best sea bass they have ever had. My chicken was melt in the mouth. The manager and the lady who looked after us were fabulous.

Booked on the day, very accommodating. 5 adults , all very happy with lunch menu. 5 different dishes, all 1st class

We visited twice in one week whilst on holiday locally and could not fault the food, the service or the prices. All of the staff were happy to engage. The building is a joy, comfortable dining, bar and clean toilet facilities. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Considering the size of our party (30+) all our food came out in a timely manner. Well done kitchen staff

Have just come back from a superb Sunday lunch...the pub is comfy and friendly. Good good and the staff were a lovely bunch. Will definitely be back.

Had a great walk up the Hills & stopped off at The Green Dragon. Food was amazing & staff were polite and friendly. Pork Belly starter was Yum Yum and the chicken burger was great. Bread and olives was delicious & the glutton free fish and chips was lovely Thank you.

Excellent little pub with the best pub service seen in Shropshire for a long time. The place was packed for Sunday lunch but the staff kept smiling throughout. and could not have been more helpful. The food was good with crisply cooked vegetables. Roast beef a little overdone but tasted fine. Rustic, basic atmosphere where the talk at the bar is mostly tractors.

What an absolutely fantastic evening, the joy of being in a proper pub where the food was spot on, the service was outstanding but more importantly, the atmosphere was genuine. It was a great night out in a traditional English pub and I will be returning soon. If only this was my local!

Nice, charming and very cozy pub with great selection of cask ales (make sure to try local Ludlow pint 🍺! 💛 ) and lovely Shropshire Hills views through the windows 😻

Fab little gastro pub. Quality beers, including 4 choices of zero-alcohol beer. Top marks.

Disappointed Nice pub, atmosphere and helpful staff but very disappointing food for the price. £19:for mixed meat Sunday lunch ( Main meal only not including starter or sweet)which consisted of a good slice of beef which I could not cut as it was so tough, either that or the knife was blunt. A small piece of over cooked belly pork and a small portion of chicken on the bone. A most impressive Yorkshire pudding which did not live up to its appearance, over cooked on the outside but soggy in the middle. Good selection of vegetables. The trifle was 3/4 tinned custard with squirts of cream on top . As for the coffee, best described as vile, guess it had been sitting in the filter jug for hours. Very disappointing as the Green Dragon reviews up to now have been very good. Would not recommend.

We called in on spec on a blustery Saturday afternoon. Immediately we were made to feel very welcome and showed to a table in the restaurant part of the pub. The service was friendly, attentive, and very efficient. The food was amazing !! The two of us opted for the sharing Starter Charcuterie Board £15 Followed by the Sharing Cote De Boeuf (Tomahawk Steak & Chips) £45 Both the starter and main course were fantastic, both in quality and price. The drinks were very reasonable with a large Bacardi coming in at just £4.40 with 50p for the coke. I opted for a pint of Ludlow Gold which was also £4.40 The whole meal came in at just shy of £75 ( including a couple of Coffees) I can’t think of anywhere where this meal and drinks would not have been £100, so The Green Dragon is very, very reasonably priced. We will be returning that’s for sure….

We have visited The Green Dragon on 3 occasions. First was ok but subsequent visits not so good. The chicken chasseur sauce had no mushrooms in and didn’t appear to be the correct sauce for the dish. The trifle had squirty cream on top which was not nice. On our 3rd visit our meal was barely warm and not enjoyable at all. Prices for pub food was quite expensive for what you got too. Such a shame as the place is lovely and staff very friendly but as you go for the food primarily, we won’t be returning.

Meal was standard pub food, didn't think it was as good as the reviews. Service was poor, waited about 30 mins for table to be cleared after eating & I had to ask for dessert menu

Had a really good lunch here a week ago. Home cooked food, very tasty and good choice including a specials board. Friendly and helpful service and a cosy atmosphere. Very highly recommended.

What an amazing time we had on Christmas Eve. Fantastic atmosphere, superb food and outstanding staff. We brought friends who eat out all the time and they were so impressed they booked again within days. Can’t recommend the Green Dragon enough.

What a gem of a pub. We found this pub when looking for somewhere to go for dinner on NYE. Most place's were only doing lunch on the 31st dec. The food was lovely, great friendly service and they were dog friendly. 10 out of 10

We were a group of three and the cosy festive warmth of the Green Dragon greeted us on stepping through the door. Friendly staff, tasty food and a nice menu. Two of us had the mediterranean tart with lovely crispy pastry and one easily swapped veggies for salad. Our other party member tried the Christmas pie which was a real treat. No room for desserts unfortunately but enjoyed a hot chocolate afterwards before we headed out into the cold winter night again to our car parked easily close by in designated parking. A firm favourite!

Great lively atmosphere with good service. Tasty food for good value for money. Great for veggies. Must have puds. Perfect for couples and groups

Lovely birthday lunch for my wife's birthday. Staff are very welcoming and the food is fantastic.

The ideal place for a drink and meal, with helpful attentive service

After a long walk in the Shropshire hills this is a great spot for a Sunday lunch and a pint. A brilliant array of 5 real ales, friendly bar / waiting staff and delicious home cooked food. The chicken pie and the vegetarian pie were both very tasty and good value for money. Would definitely recommend booking, it was extremely busy from 3-7!

Really lovely meal. Simply a great pub with a friendly atmosphere and an outstanding menu.

We were on holiday in the area and called in here for our evening meal. We were greeted warmly by staff, and appreciated the very quaint decor throughout the pub.....even the ladies loo is worth a visit!
