The Green Dragon in Shropshire

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.

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.

Lovely pub perfect for a bike ride

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful pub, fantastic food and lovely staff, would definitely recommend

By far the best pint of Guinness I’ve ever had. Food is nice too 👍🏼

Good food, friendly service and good value for money

Always amazing food and atmosphere. Near here? Go here!

When we entered we recognised this pub/restaurant as one we had visited previously. Both occasions on route to home. We were served promptly, everything was as we wished for and the food was perfect. We'll definitely visit again.

Good service and menu clean and comfortable well worth a visit.

What a fantastic little pub great customer service

Amazing service Friendly staff Very welcoming Incredible food Awesome presentation Awesome portion size Amazing dessert Deffo going back

Proper pub with great selection of proper beers and great food, just the thing to round off a walk in the Long Mynd. Boot covers thoughtfully provided so muddy walkers can get some well earned refreshment

Went for my birthday lunch and was pleased to see good vegetarian options and ordered the falafel, chickpea and hummus salad. Which was a main meal for £15 - new potatoes, salad, roasted chickpeas, hummus, falafel etc. I had a starter of falafel and hummus dumped in front of me. When I said I had ordered the salad of the menu - The waitress said I had ordered a starter and she knew what I meant and brought me back some undressed salad in a bowl and a plate so i could combine the two - great.

Stopped at the Green Dragon for Lunch on a Sunday. Very accommodating as busy. The food and service were excellent. Locals very friendly. Highly recommended.

Brilliant place food was fabulous

Such a great atmosphere! Friendly and efficient staff, delicious food . Couldn't ask for more. Will definitely return. Thank you.

Dog friendly with a dedicated vegan menu, really glad we found this lovely pub. Great service, decent food.

We had dinner here a couple of times while staying in the area. Good selection of dishes. Food well cooked and tasty. Friendly, efficient service. It also has a large garden which is very popular. What's not to like? Booking recommended, even midweek as it is a very popular pub.

Fun family place very friendly. Nice child friendly garden..

Visited as part of a week's holiday in Shropshire; dropped in for lunch when touring the Church Stretton area. Was greeted by friendly staff and sat down for a meal of whitebait, squid followed by ribs and one of house special burgers. The starters were excellent and washed down with a pint of Butty Bach went down well with the mains. A traditional and unspoilt pub worthy of a visit if you're in the area.

Nice pub serving a good selection of beers and lager’s. The food is of good quality and an excellent menu and specials, the staff were welcoming and friendly a great place to visit. If you are looking for a nice relaxing meal look no further

Good food, would recommend booking on a weekend evening as it does get busy.

On a Monday night we called in for a meal. We had not booked and the place was very busy with all tables reserved. The Manager however was very helpful and as it was early let us take a table which was booked for later....

Lovely place. Had to wait a while for food as it was busy but not too long to wait and good food

Good selection on menu including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. Very friendly staff. Beautiful views from the beer garden.

Absolutely amazing place. We're a family of 5 who has just completed a 3 hour walk through the near by hills and with 3 hungry children and a dog we needed somewhere close and dog friendly. The food was delicious and the service was first class. Very friendly and polite. Food came out fast. 5/5 for everything. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely village pub very picturesque. Food was great well cooked, tasty and nicely presented. Menu was extensive from pub meals to restaurant food, we were all very impressed with the choice. Loved the fact you could have a smaller steak of 5oz excellent for adults...

Nice pub.... food was excellent. Friendly staff, would recommend 👍

Lovely pub in quiet village. Food, drink and atmosphere very good. Nice beer garden with nice views. Highly recommend. Already booked again for next week.

Perfect country pub with amazing food.

Good quality pub food and friendly staff.

Absolutely brilliant the Moo pie is amazing. fantastic little find.

If you are after a cheeky pub stop following a long walk around Carding Mill - this little gem is just perfect! Delicious food, (top tier lunch menu), dog friendly, also warm and cosy. Portion size is great, therefore can accept paying that little bit...

Booked a table for 11 after a walk from the Sunday lunch menu. Great communication right from booking through pre order and they kindly decorated the table for one if our party who was having a birthday . Food was scrumptious and plentiful - extra...

Great staff, delicious food and always a variety of specials. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Lovely garden

Nice food and good service but the meat content in the meat pie was seriously lacking and it wasn't exactly cheap. Maybe should have gone for a burger as this seems to be what the pub specialised in.

Nice popular pub in village location. It was busy but service was efficient. Menu was varied but the beef and macaroni ( which was another pasta) was a bit underwhelming. Desserts were good. Would return if in area.

Popped in for a bit of tea first expectations really easy to find, lots of parking and friendly staff. Sat down and ordered the bacon cheese burger and oh man it was so nice one of the best burgers I've had it was tender and juice with crispy chips couldn't ask for a better meal. For dessert I had a homemade chocolate brown with ice cream that was absolutely delicious 😋. Would highly recommend that you visit this little jem.

Great hospitality and wonderful hosts who catered for our large group exceedingly well

Stumbled on the pub by chance on a weekend away. Dog friendly, allergen aware, asked for gluten free and was no issues. The food was amazing, hubby had a steak and I had a Cajun chicken burger with fries and homemade coleslaw, both meals were delicious. Lovely friendly staff and reasonably priced. Would definitely go back if in the area.

Really first class food. Chips were perfect and the best mushroom I've ever tasted! All sourced from local suppliers apparently. Great service too, and a friendly, calm atmosphere.

Good food. Excellent service. Lovely village. Friendly pub with great surroundings.

Staff friendly and accommodating, but both had the chicken and leek "Pieminster"pies, which were overcooked and served with frozen chips, peas and carrots. Felt that it was poor value for what we got and when I said that the pies were overcooked to our server...

Amazing pub! Excellent food and value for money. The best buttermilk chicken burger in the UK!!! The steak pie was also yummy. Good selection on kids menu. Very friendly and professional staff. Good selection of local beer on tap. I wish they were closer to London. Will definitely visit again!

Very welcoming staff, characterful pub and excellent food (and drink!) - best Sunday pub lunch we've had in a very long time.

Good atmosphere , location is excellent, less impressed with the Sunday menu than other times we have visited , on other days of the week.

Great food, staff great, service couldn't fault it. Good value for money and well worth popping in again when back in the area.

Me and my partner where staying in Church Stretton about a mile up the road. We decided to have another walk after scaling cardingmill valley. Worth the walk lovely atmosphere and great bar staff. Really good vibes and gorgeous views in the beer garden. We didn't stay for the food but it looked and sounded amazing.

We arrived, together with our two dogs, looking for a late lunch. Ample parking and a warm welcome. The menu, gave an excellent range of choices, including an unusually good vegan selection. Service was prompt, the food arrived quickly and everything was cooked perfectly. The...

Lovely pub, friendly welcome on a long hot walk, drinks and food really good 👍

The Green Dragon at Little Stretton is the main reason we return to this area year after year. The place never disappoints. Dog friendly, great selection of well kept beers and amazing food. This year, as a family, we dined from both the regular and...

Good honest Pub, with polite staff, food pretty good, new owners I think, well its improved. Nice garde seating, dogs welcome, nice views 👍

Lovely setting and good drink selection. Very relaxed atmosphere meant very slow service though. The prawn and crayfish Marie Rose sandwich was actually a shrimp sandwich, no crayfish at all. It was an excellent shrimp sandwich but the menu said prawn and crayfish, not shrimp.

There are a good number of outside tables and we were there on a scorching day. The sandwiches and snacks menu gave us a good choice. The pub had a good choice of beers and wines and the staff were very friendly. Not a huge...

Nice traditional pub - relaxed and comfortable ambience ,pleasant staff ,good range of beers and a typical menu .Our dishes were good although the delivery of our order was somewhat slow (due to a staff shortage that evening we were told) . No intrusive music...

Good pub, great food, fantastic staff.

This place has a reputation as a good place to dine but on this occasion was very disappointing. Treat with care.

Lovely place, good service and selection of real ales

A lovely country pub with very tasteful traditional decor. Sat out on the decking and enjoyed the view of the countryside and hills. The Ludlow Gold cask blonde ale was superb. Had some double cooked chunky chips aswell which were just like the ones Heston...

Was very busy when we visited, but the service was still first class. Good food,and a great view from the beer garden.

Lovely village pub with a delightful beer garden adjacent to open fields. Good selection of draught beers. A varied menu. We had Sunday roast beef etc. Very good deserts too.

What a great find amazing food, stunning views and great service if you don’t eat here you are missing out.

Lovely village pub. Great menu & beer. The whitebait was a particular highlight. Washed down with a pint of Butty Bach ? Already looking for another excuse to revisit this part of Shropshire :)

They have a lovely outside seating area where you can see the rolling hills of shropshire AONB. They got out chilled glasses for my lager. Large inside seating area too and lots of parking available.

Good selection of beers and well kept. Menu has a wide choice of what turned out to be nicely cooked, tasty, large portions. Well maintained pub with outside dining and drinking with views over the rolling hills. Plenty of parking. Friendly and efficient staff.

Good pub with amazing views. Food was expensive for very basic grub.

Stopped off after having a day out drinks menu was amazing looked very positive so we decided to stay for food what a mistake that was i went for the chicken pie had 2 chunks of chicken the veg was cold and microwaved the mash was microwaved and yellow my partner went for the burger the outside was crispy and burnt the fries had absobed the dirty old oil they was cooked in and after her first mouthful her mouth was bleeding it was that hot

Sunday evening and no problem finding a table for dinner. Fast friendly service and lovely food. Good range of local ales. Parking can be difficult at busy times.
