The Green Dragon in Shropshire

A bit disappointed really, been a few times before and always good. Tonight brought some friends to enjoy, but food was very disappointing. Welsh rarebit was soggy wet bread with hardly any cheese and not much flavour. When i did say something, nothing was done about it, butter chicken was like a powder gravy, no spice, fish burger with mushy peas doesn't work together, peas make bun soggy, keep separate. The standards were not as expected. We always end up with table by toilets, not ideal

Fantastic service. Fantastic food and really excellent real ales. We will return. The Beef Brisket was delicious. Rhubarb Cheese cake was amazing. Ludlow Gold was really really good and well kept. 5 stars.

What a beautiful homely place. Beautiful food and service was quick. Thank you!

The food took approximately 45 minutes to arrive to table. We had various dishes main course dishes off the menu. We all found the vegetables were hard, carrots not top or tailed and the meals bland…. Basically not as anticipated. The service delay and the concerns on the dishes was reported to the staff directly at time of occurrence.

What an excellent meal. They were obviously busy when we arrived, explained the wait time on food but were happy to accommodate us. I had the baked salmon, my husband had the slow cooked brisket, both meals were excellent. They also had a good selection of local beers on offer & a good choice of wines. The staff were lovely, chatty & friendly. Thank you for a lovely evening

Friendly, gastropub with plenty of outdoor seating. Reasonable ale prices and unbeatable village setting.

Fantastic Sunday lunch...pork belly to die for, lovely veg selection. Husband had the fish and chips and raved about it all the way home lol. The staff were very friendly and polite. Will return soon!!!

Large food portions, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff. Will visit again :)

Perfect food with owsome view and professional service 👌

Popped in for a drink and a light lunch. The pub has epic views of the surrounding Shropshire hills and probably has one of the picturesque beer gardens a pub could have! Nothing fancy ordered - 3 Jacket spuds, one with Prawns and 2 standard beans with cheese. Spuds can be hit or miss and these were a resounding HIT. Soft, fluffy spuds with a crisp jacket - perfect! Came with coleslaw and salad. Who doesn’t love a decent spud done well! I have continued my Butty Bach beer choice and it didn’t disappoint. Great village Pub with friendly staff and good food.

A lovely pub in this beautiful village. Nice beers and tasty food. We will definitely be back.

10oz Steak came with one onion ring, one mushroom, half tomato and handful of chips £20.50 plate was half empty. Mushroom rissoto consisted of bowl of rissoto rice with three mushrooms on top and bread £15.50 very poor quality and grossly overpriced, mushrooms barely cooked. Very disappointing for an eighty eighth birthday celebration. Have eaten several times in the past and have always been very satisfied, will not bother again.

Popped into this little gem after walking up and around Carding Mill Valley all day. Very weird how most pubs in this area don’t serve food until late in the evening, but the Green Dragon was serving all day which was perfect. Lovely pub, fantastic service with really nice food. Good selection of drinks at a reasonable price. After food we had a pint out in the beer garden taking in the fabulous views. Would I come here again, absolutely. Well recommended 👍🏻

This place was recommended to us by a passing stranger from Oswestry. We googled the menu and knew we had to visit. Great, traditional food that doesn't break the bank. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice food and service is spot on

Nice sitting out in the beer garden. Great food.

Chef should be proud of their batter...fish and chips to travel for...mmmm

Superb classy pub food with lots of veggie and vegan options. Not part of a corporate chain and it showed with many different choices on the menu. Excellent service, food presentation and a friendly welcome. Highly recommended!

Very busy but stilll faultless!

Stunning location, beer garden views to die for ordered food and this was also amazing. My husband said best burger he’s ever had!

Really enjoyed our food here, good service too.

Excellent food in a real local, good beer, a happy place.

Drove from telford for a Sunday lunch today,absolutely amazing food 😋 my roast beef was cooked to perfection,lovely atmosphere and beautiful location. Would definitely recommend this place the only downside was it's not close to my house lol

Had a good night with friends and food was also good.

Beautiful place.lovely service. Hadn't been in before.but now will use it has my stopping point

Another great lunch at the Green Dragon, all of the dishes were tasty and hearty. Good value too. Great service in a cosy venue.

great pub for real ales and the only one i know in the area that knows how to make a traditional Pink Gin

Fabulous cosy pub. We got the table by the fire, which was lovely. The food was nice, but a star is deducted because of my roast potatoes. ( I had anticipated a nice crispy Sunday lunch variety but got lightly roasted new potatoes, which were tasty but not what I'd hoped for).

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 ❤️

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 and friendly welcome. Good food nicely prepared. Highly recommend

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Lovely pub perfect for a bike ride
