The Green Dragon in South Norfolk

Lovely food, everyone is very welcoming

Lovely old fashioned pub, no sport, no juke box, real ales and great food

Popped in on a Saturday lunchtime. Friendly staff and good beer. Sat in the beer garden. All dog friendly.

A warm welcome. Excellent food at great prices

Quirky old bar with friendly staff, good beer and great food.

Didn't do food, very cosy, plus dog friendly

Good pub, lots of character, good food and nice selection of real ales. **Update** Food back 10th Feb 2024

Absolute worst place I’ve eaten the staff where rude the food was rubbish I would not recommend, the owner was the rudest man I’ve ever met very arrogant and comes across slightly aggressive stay clear

We were only visiting for drinks this time. Great atmosphere, lovely warm real fire in bar area.

Went for a work xmas party food horrendous quiche was late no desserts like cheese cakes no mince pies no coffee I will not be coming to you again did not spend no money but my company did 🙈🙈

It was closed for refurbishment which was very unfortunate in terms of our plans. No indication on the website that it is closed. Definitely ring to ensure it is open.

Proper old fashioned pub with a great atmosphere run by very friendly and helpful staff serving very tasty food! Well worth the 145 mile journey back to my home county for an excellent meal and catch up with relatives👍

Friendly pub and dog friendly too.

I love this pub and it is my local. I also run events at the Green Dragon, Victoria, the Governor is so kind and helpful. The real ale is to die for! Nelson ,my retriever, is always welcomed with open paws!

We booked a lunch time slot on the 26th September. First Visit, and sadly our last. No parking. The pub looks amazing as an old buliding. Good selection of beers. However our food was very poor. Chips very over cooked. Battered fish tastless. Salad (Rockett) past its best as very limp. Baguette was stale. We did express our disappointment as it just was not very nice. Quickly offered some discount on our bill, which was appreciated. Also people on table next to us, also said their meal was not the best, but did not say anything to the staff. After we left , on visiting some local shops, in conversation, other people we talked to, said how good the food was, so I like to think we just were unlucky that day. A pity as felt a bit let down.

Such a lovely place. Really warm staff and atmosphere. Like stepping back in time. We had a delicious meal and will definitely return when we can.

Very accommodating for me and my family, a group of 20! - we rang up 10 minutes ahead of time and were greeted warmly upon arrival. Service was very fast and attentive, everything arrived correct and on time apart from one or two desserts which arrived a couple minutes after the others however the staff were apologetic and amended the issues we had and everyone left with full bellies and big smiles. Thank you very much Green Dragon team!

Very expensive. I had three tiny bowls of tapas. Cost £18-96. Wasn't brill at all.

Eerst buiten een drankje en toen binnen gegeten. Er gaat een geheime gang van de pub naar de abdij. Lekker gegeten.

A return visit after some years to the Green Dragon, which I understand to have recently re-opened under new ownership. The fascinating building remains one of the most enchanting pubs I've ever visited. For lunch, from a fairly limited menu, I had a good, generous, sausage baguette with very nice chips, eaten in the very pleasant courtyard. Service is friendly and efficient, and the youngish guy who I think was the manager was incredibly enthusiastic about the pub and its possibilities under the new owners. Nearby Wymondham Abbey is wonderful, and the town is very pleasant.

Amazing pub built in the 14th century, it's full of charm and the staff are very friendly and happy to adapt an order to dietary requirements. I had roast turkey and the plate was full. The meat was cooked well and there was a great selection of vegetables. Would highly recommend.

Great Sunday lunch, real good value for money and plenty of food.

Love this old pub, I hope it continues for a long time. Could do with more vegan/vegetarian options

Had a lovely dinner. Gone in with low expectations, due to change of management. I have to say we've had a great dinner Friday evening and we definitely tried from sharing starters to mains and children meals, Well done Chef

Excellent meal - had the pork belly which was some of the best I’ve ever eaten! Good service in a lovely setting. Will certainly be returning.

Very very old pub 1350s! Beautiful building, great indoor spaces and great outside space.obly had a drink but will return for food.xx

Look its just what it says on the tin a pub However its one of the oldest pubs in the area & it shows well worth a visit & don't forget to have a drink & or food, a very good selection of beers and spirits ect

lovely garden,exclent service. only issue, heard shouting from the kitchen and felt very uncomfortable. would recommend though

We had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Green Dragon. Really liked their roast dinner wrapped in a yorkshire pudding with delicious pork belly. Service was excellent as always and the garden was lovely in the sun. Will be returning soon!

Lovely place. Food and service was good. Had the lunch sandwich of the day, the meat was a bit chewy but still good. Chips & pint were delish. Friendly service. Visiting from Toronto and manager took me on a wee tour of the building providing some historical insight.

New management since our previous visit, but food and beer as good as previously, with prices for food increased, but inline with prices in similar pubs. Charming listed building which is supposed to date back to the 14th century. Huge garden with some under cover seating. On this visit a choir was singing, which wasn't great for us as we wanted to sit and chat, but we managed to find a relatively quiet spot in the marquee.

Lovely old pub , only stopped for a drink so can't comment on food . Staff friendly and large beer farden

Drinks evening with excellent live band.

Beer garden is decent. Inside is very run down

Lunch was great. Perfectly cooked, moist fish with a crispy batter. Pleasant staff. Most helpful with our table booking

Previous 5 stars def down to 2 or a generous 3. Lots of work to do on customer service and interaction with us general public on first meeting if today was anything to go by. Sad, because we rated it 5 stars before. Whilst it's not easy dealing with the general public, a better 'front end' is required. Turned out sort of OK - but won't be going back. Disappointed local.

Went last evening with a bunch of friends - food is much better than before (sorry to say as we had some good evenings then) - very friendly staff - obviously trying hard to pull an all favourite up by its boot!

Living 45mins away it was a treat to come to the green dragon. Last time we came we had a fabulous lunch and learned that night that the pub was closin! Gutted. Was pleased to hear new owners had opened it up again so paid a visit. Looked nice and clean, sunny inviting beer garden. Was shocked by the increase of pricing to the menu. Only wanted a light lunch but wasn't given that option until we saw another table get baguettes and chips. It was delivered quick but for some reason food was bought out before the cutlery, so we had to wait for them. Slightly disappointed about the portion size, £10 for baguette and chips. Hard to not compare to the old dragon and for that reason sadly we probably won't come again. However I wish them every success.

Changed ownership and the prices are now astronomical. £16 for Scampi & Chips mind blowing. Girl behind the bar has never poured a pint in her life either

Only had a pint of coke but Costemer service ease great

Great old pub. Lovely beer garden. Limited food offering at the moment as new owners. But what they have currently is great. Promises to be good if it continues in this way

Great spot ..very friendly and always a good selection of ales

Just been today ( Bank hol Monday) for a bite to eat...was a basic menu so i ordered hand cut dirty fries with slow cooked beef with barbecue sauce.....chips were lovely but needed a magnifying class to see the beef ...which was very chewy.....so basically paid £9 for chips.Husband had the vegetarian pizza which was ok .

Visited the Green Dragon now that it has reopened after closing for some time. They were not doing any food, but no matter as it was a good pint I was after and wasn't disappointed. Looking forward to visiting again when I'm next in Wymondham. Might even grab a bite when they start up food again. I hope all goes well for them as it's an unspoilt pub with good ale and a good atmosphere.

The window on the side of The Green Dragon is said to come from a gallion ship. The pub really has gone to sea with very little atmosphere. Why open a pub that offers so little,it is a shame it once was a truly amazing establishment.

Great food and a friendly, cosy atmosphere

Dog friendly with a decent cup of coffee. Good beer, and beer garden with good service. Haven't had food since this place changed hands but hope I can up this to 5 stars if it's improved on before.

Nice old pub, originally going to have a Sunday roast, but changed my mind as too many badly behaved children for my taste, but a first class pint and will eat next time

We visited a couple of days ago for an evening meal (a group of 5) and all of us really enjoyed the food. New chef seems to have made great improvements to the menu, we'll look forward to coming back soon!

Great pub.. warm welcome. Didn't have food this time as it just a lunchtime drink.. however food has been exceptional in the past... And it certainly smelled good.

Lovely good food and good customer service

Very old pub in wymondham village has a beer going for summertime a nice place to a drink friendly staff

Phoned on the off chance for a dog friendly table for two - we were being a bit cheeky as it is Xmas Eve- they found us a table😁 Jules had the Turkey Balti which had a kick and Nige the Lasagne - really lovely food at great prices. Mould Wine weren’t too bad either 😂😂

I have been a few times as they are a standout pub in the area with a great historical atmosphere. I dined here for lunch and had the roasted butternut squash which was a standout 10/10.

Great atmosphere in one of the oldest pubs for miles around. Timber framed, exposed beams and real fire all adds to the character of the place. Nice selection of beers, good food and helpful staff. Recommended.

Great food and friendly staff. The portions are huge too!

Great fish and chips from set menu with sticky toffee pudding - beautifully fresh and well cooked. Excellent service finished with very good coffee too

Had the set lunch today. Fish and chips followed by sticky toffee pudding. Very good food and pleasant service. Good price. The Green Dragon is a lovely little quirky pub with lots of history. It's dog friendly.

Me and my wife popped in for a meal and everything from the service to the food was 5*. It's nice to still find businesses offering a good service with so many still using COVID as an excuse for delivering subpar standards.

Had a Sunday roast, very disappointing, meat, Yorkshire's and roast potatoes poor, even charged for a little extra gravy. Staff lovely food awful.

Good food and good selection of drinks

Lovely Tudor half timbered pub situated in an attractive picture postcard area of Wymondham. Some say it is late 14th century others mid 15th century. Does have a dragon in it but my photo turned out naff so don't know if it is green. The food looked very appetising, staff welcoming and helpful plus a good range of beers and lagers.

If you're looking for 'olde worlde' ambiance this is hard to beat. The staff were very helpful with being flexible about my dietary requirements. Great service and a delicious menu.

What a fantastic pub. Beautiful old pub with nooks and crannies. Staff were so welcoming and friendly. Food huge portions and absolutely gorgeous. Will definitely go back. Highly recommended.

Totally rocking this rustic, wonky pub 🐲 ! Recommend the burger 🍔! Si and Lindy Bishop x

OK for a drink to experience a 14th century pub but skip the food.

Very busy due to the pub having a beer festival and also the nearby Mud Norfolk Railway having a festival also service was quick and two decent pints of Snetterton Scary Tree I will be back

Good beer.Friendly staff.Great to sit outside in the garden.

Always loved it here and still a go to place although the menu has lost a little of its flare. Under new management I think and that’s sad as we’ve lost the Green Dragon ale that was a highlight of the spot. We’ll be back but something was lacking this time…

A beautiful friendly pub. Great food and drinks. I enjoyed talking with the bartender and listening to people still networking and doing business the way it was done 400 years ago. I will be coming back every time I am in town!

Used to be the best pub in Wymondham. Went last week for the first time in a few years for some food and drinks. Menu has completely fallen off. Every single person I went with was extremely underwhelmed by their food especially considering the price. My halloumi burger was composed of three dry, overcooked, rubbery pieces of halloumi, a single piece of lettuce and stale brioche buns. Nothing else.

Busy Beer Festival day. Lots of staff on. Beer not quite cold enough.

The oldest pub I have ever set foot in. What stories that building could

My wife and I visited on the recommendation of a friend and I'm glad we did. Staff were friendly, welcoming and very accommodating. Best burger I ever had! Wife's fish dish was delicious, well presented with steaming hot vegetables. Compliments to chef Jack. Will definitely be back 👍

We visited as a family for a meal on Saturday night. We phoned ahead and booked a table outside. It's busy on a Saturday so must book to avoid disappointment! We were shown to our table and informed we need to order at the bar. This meant being a wait as they only had one card machine and with lots of people wanting to eat and drink the que was going outside. The food was incredible. I had duck rolls to start and Tempura Chicken as my main. The food was a large portion. Delicious sauces with the meal. Very filling. WiFi at the pub which reaches the garden. WiFi code at the bar. We will be back.

Had a lovely roast pork with all the trimmings today with a family visit. A decent selection of Gins and Rums on offer too. Definitely recommended.

Walked in as no other pubs were serving food on Tuesdays! One was fully booked at 6pm! Lucky us,Caesars Salad with added smoked bbq chicken.Good food, good service and great menu.

One of the very oldest public houses in England dates back to 1300's very quirky inside. We only called in for a drink as we were travelling on the Mid Norfolk Railway and had some time to spare. Hope one day we may get the chance to back and sample the menu and sink a few more beers

We enjoyed our meal.My wife enjoyed her Vegan meal.A lovely old pub inn . Good space outside for eating and drinking..The staff were very polite and friendly to speak to. Well worth a visit.

Not as good as it used to be. Popped in for a meal when it wasn’t very busy at all. Nothing too fancy, Green Dragon Burger and Tempura battered chicken, both with skin on skinny fries. Fries were over cooked or maybe cooked and then cooked again and the tempura batter was over cooked and very crunchy. Will remove this from our list of regulars.

Nice Pub food could have been better.

Booked a table for 1900 Sat 30 Jul. After we had sat down with drinks and ordered we were then informed it would be a 30-40 min wait. This is unacceptable and if I had not been with another couple would have walked out - however, I suppose it took this amount of time for my dragon burger to dry out - we brought my partner's burger back for the dogs. The menu wasn't up to much either. Also only two ales on - will not be going back any time soon.

A warm busy evening, so the kitchen was chocka, but we had a very nice meal in a pretty outdoor area.

Booze is still a tad on the pricey side. Menu has improved a lot.

History, food, drink. Great indoors and out

Lovely food, good vipe and nice atmosphere!

Lovely food, drinks and staff - what’s not to like? We sat in the beer garden and everything was served very quickly. Always one of my go-to pubs when in Wymondham!

It used to be a great pub .sadly it's changed .not as friendly .sorry

Their Sunday roast is amongst my favourite, never spend time in Norfolk without visiting 👍

Asked for med-rare steak, recieved a very well done one. Such a pity as the rest of the food was nice,

Great space to play a few board games in the upstairs room.

Beautiful garden, very busy on the jubilee Saturday however great holiday vibe served quickly and there were seats.

Excellent food and service staff were really nice and very friendly

Everything about this pub is my ideal pub.

Sadly after this pub being highly recommended by people we know it was a big disappointment. Firstly, not being able to order drinks or food from our table is just not on! We as paying customers would prefer the waiting staff to do the work instead of us, that’s why they get tips? The meals were substandard, vegetables were raw/underdone & the roast beef meat was tough and difficult to chew. One of the party couldn’t swallow his cuts of beef and had to excuse himself from the table to go and dispose of it in the loo!. Secondly, the waiter brought cutlery and napkins when there already were some in the container and left them on the table, clearly he didn’t see the ones already there or he was just following orders, who know? Food ordered and brought to table, only 4 of us at the table, half way through our meal he brought another meal, he couldn’t seem to grasp why it wasn’t for us either?! A big disappointment all told. Think we’ll definitely try somewhere else.

Food cold for 2 out of 7 of our party. Portion size too small. Table extremely sticky that our clothes and glasses stuck to the table. This was also very dirty with food stuff in the grooves. Ladies toilet radiator rusty. Will not be returning again.

Beautiful place and friendly atmosphere and staff

Beautiful hidden little gem tucked away with amazing food and drinks selection

Great food and excellent beers. Fantastic beer garden

Unfortunately not the best meal or service today. Such a lovely pub, I hope it was just an off day.
