The Green Dragon in South Norfolk

We booked the restaurant for the four of us, we had friends up for the weekend. Having eaten in the Green Dragon recently in the garden, albeit only a small lunch, we decided to try this on Saturday evening.We were shown upstairs to our table and we ordered drinks. The Menu is written on a board, and the writing was difficult to both read and therefore difficult to understand. We ordered our food and drinks. Our drinks took 30 minutes to arrive, after chasing. Having ordered, some time later the waitress returned to say the sausages were no longer available! The second choice was made but mistaken by the menu turned out to be a vegetarian dish.Our starters came but once again we had to ask for it, but were very nice, Duck spring rolls. After 1.5 hours our main courses arrived! Two were Tempura chicken, the batter was white, not cooked and slimy underneath. These were not eaten. The pie with mash had semi warm mash and cold vegetables. The vegetarian dish was not touched. We waited for a waitress to appear, I had to go downstairs to find one!Eventually we spoke with the duty Manager. She was both very understanding and apologetic. Apparently we should have been warned about slow service, we were not and no explanation given.We were given a reasonable discount, but we were not there for a discount. We paid and left.

The waiting staff were nice (if a little slow) however it was a nice sunny day so we were happy to wait. What let down the meal was the food. I ordered the burger and it was a dry beef burger on a dry bun accompanied by a dried out salad that I wouldn’t touch. It would not have taken much to add a nice relish, some salad or something to the burger. A dry burger on a bun is kind of unheard of these days… The waiting staff were nice and got some bbq, tomato sauce and Mayo but it wasn’t able to salvage it. If you are just going for drinks it’s a lovely place, I would just give the food a miss.

We have so few places in town to go to and THIS place, The Green Dragon, has history, dating back to 1371, survived the Wymondham fire that destroyed everything else in town, has character, outdoor garden space and right in town. We’ve lived here 2 yrs. now and most of it has been with covid. I understand that the hospitality, restaurant and pubs are having a rough go BUT The Green Dragon has been and still is hit and miss.I stopped in today to see if the owner, Justin, used this time wisely to experiment with recipes, freshen and groom the place, etc. I did not go inside, if you can but got there about 1:00. The entire waitstaff hovers around 20 yrs. with absolutely no clue what “service” means. Yes, they are cute, lovely, handsome, friendly and try; however, they have no clue about service. I’m going to put this on the owner—not the staff. My guess is he’s going for cheap labor. Fine by me BUT TRAIN THEM!They HAVE been indoctrinated to make sure you pay. One young, friendly girl came and seated me and started rambling on about everything but what I wanted. She took my order for wine, disappeared and never came back with the wine! Then, another young man asked me if I’d been helped and I told him I had but had not got my wine. HE got it for me. How long does it take to pour a glass of wine? Maybe this is a bartender problem. The bookkeeping, cashier, etc., has always been convoluted BUT for heavens sake, find a way to make it efficient, expedient and work! It NEVER has.The menu is on a huge bulletin board so wherever you’re sitting you must get up, look at the menu and decide what you want. They use the app, HOPT, which I had not downloaded but have now, so I don’t know how it works.I ordered duck spring rolls with hoisin sauce, £6.50 for 3 and finally got my medium size of Malbec. The check was £11+. There sone nonsense, too, regarding paying for your drinks first and then paying for your food too—separately. Maybe customers are skipping out and not paying. The plate came with lettuce with no dressing. I asked for oil and vinegar and got French which was fine because I don’t enjoy eating lettuce with no dressing. I am not a rabbit. The spring rolls were good and the bottled hoisin sauce was good.It is so sad that The Green Dragon, which is THE MOST historical restaurant/pub in town, is the most disappointing with no consistency, class, ambience, quality, attention to detail or service. So terribly short sighted to not capitalize on its history, location and sheer presence. If there was ever a need for a GM to run a restaurant, it’s at The Green Dragon. Justin is also running the Kings Head in Heathersett. We have not been there yet but I’ll let you know.

I fully understand the need for complying with COVID regulations but the welcome was bordering on rude… it appeared we had crossed some invisible line without being told. The app was very slow to download and service extremely slow…. One and a half hours for the meal to appear.The meal itself was good, duck and chicken excellent. However the Caesar salad was a joke ( was this forgotten and put together at last minute….. only 4 pieces of lettuce, dressing and chicken) . There seemed to be a lack of staff to deal with the numbers. Those there were very busy and polite

Visited for a late lunch with friends, the food was great and the portions where large and the staff where all really lovely and where enjoying being there. Lovely garden with lots of tables and a great atmosphere. It was a combination of table service where we had to pay at the end of each round and also ordering via the app if I had to chose between the two I would have said it would had been better to totally use the app as the poor staff members really struggled with the lack of phone signal in the garden for the card machine. The card machine rarely worked, the app was slow however it did seem the more reliable out of the two.

Had to wait over 45 minutes for starters, then another 20 minutes for main. On the board it stated ham egg and peas. When it came it had salad. Asked about it and was told it had salad with it, I asked women to check and she said it had peas. Argument over the board. Offered peas but by this time I could not be bothered. When we went to pay we paid for someone else meal. Rush to sort this out. Normally would recommend this place but after this experience I rather not go back. Has it changed hands or something. Very poor today.

The green dragon Is lovely place to visit but I think if you're looking for great customer service and good quality food go somewhere else. Its great for a drink with friends of family with a bowl of chips.

All staff - really, every one of them - very friendly. We were eating outside of course, under cover, and it rained and it was chilly. The staff's attitude made it warmer.As soon as guests had left, someone turned up with a sponge and bucket, cleaned the entire table, then sprayed the table with disinfectant, wiped it and dried it with blue paper from a big roll. They clearly take their responsibility very seriously.The service was smooth. The food was very tasty. The only minor criticism could be that the beef goulash didn't have a lot of beef in it. It was very nice though.We could not see the Green Dragon's interior but we would go back even if we have to stay outside.

Had to order via app which h was very uninformative as were the staff. Settled.for two beers one of which was supposed to be low alcohol for the driver. Waitress brought them out but said she had no idea which was which, seemed to find it funny . Then gave my daughter alcoholic gingerbeer instead of non. Had to change so someone could drive, dinners were overpriced and plain with very,ittle choice left at 4.oo. Sent under cooked sausages back and came back micro waved and inedible. Lovely old pub which maybe better when hIndoors and with no app but still needs people who know their drinks and a new Chef.

Visited Tuesday I have been before and had a similar experience but decided to try again unfortunately disappointing! Firstly there was no way near enough staff there were 2 young waiting staff (who were lovely and hardworking) but at least 2 more were needed. Ordered drinks on the app waited 20 minutes even after prompting. The prices are a bit silly as well for basic pub grub! And £8.50 for a pint and a disarrano and coke quite steep too lovely garden. It the food was average at best, poorly staffed, nobody sitting near the heaters despite it being cold! Why!?

Over cooked, small, dry and tough burger. The side dish of coleslaw was lovely though and the service was very friendly.

Sunday 18th October I booked a table for two last minute for the evening at 7pm, myself and my friend both had roast beef and I can honestly say it was the best roast we have ever had.So much food we couldn't manage another drink let alone dessert.Will be there again this evening if they have space.

Bad service, poor quality food and very slow to take orders, bring drinks, condiments and left waiting for 20 minutes to pay the bill. Nearly two hours for the four of us to have a drink and a main meal, ordered dessert to be told after ten minutes that that particular choice was no longer available, it wasn’t that busy and other customers around us were clearly experiencing the same poor service. We had a similar experience on our last visit and were willing to give it another go but won’t be returning again which is a shame as it’s a lovely building full of character and we’ve had many good celebrations here previously.

Had lunch today here, from the moment we arrived staff were friendly and working covid safe . I had pork belly which was great superb crackling and champ mash. Wife had chicken and Pearl barley casserole that was swish as well! Lots of people enjoying the rain under the tipi in the garden, could not fault it at all! Will be back! ( especially if they got steak and ale pudding, which sadly they had sold out of today!!!)

We were staying just outside Wymondham and were recommended a visit for a drink. Very good welcome from the team and a lovely atmosphere. Good Covid rules in place and all felt very safe Well worth a visit for a pre or post dinner tipple!!

What a lovely pub! We were there for Sunday Roast and I Have to say it was one of the best roasts I Have had. I had belly pork, was succulent and my friend had the chicken, which was juicy. the veg was not undercooked, as some have said in reviews but al dente which is how ver should be, would recommend this pub to anyone visiting Norfolk, not only that I will be back soon

Would not recommend!!! Seen photos online, and looked good! Service was meh, roasts too forever - and were not good! 2 x pork belly - crackling was fab! 7/8 roasties and 2 yorkies, but carrots / cauliflower/ broccoli were frozen and hard still! Large Malbec was just under £7, however had fermented!! Complained to staff when they cleared the table, however no apology nor did they remove from the bill... overall not a good time! £40 for 2 x roasts and 1 x large, 1 x small - not worth the money!!!

The starter creamy mushrooms on toasted granery bread was great the chicken and ham pie with cheese and leek was sickly. The mash with leek in it was awful and the chips were sitting under a heater because there were horrible and the veg is very hard the dessert was really nice. And the fella waiting tables the older man had his mask under his chin the whole time not good

Such a beautiful, period pub set in a lovely traditional town. You can dine in or outside in the garden and for chilly October nights a tepe and fire pit are on the way.We 3 had gammon / burger / hunters chicken and really enjoyed our meals, but had to leave a little because the portion sizes were quite generous! No room for desserts!Be aware that food service closes at 8pm as the kitchen staff leave.The Green Dragon does not have a car park and there is limited street parking. We parked in Back Street car park and walked through the alleyway to the right of another pub and then turned right followed by a left at the church.We must return soon.

While the food and drink here are undoubtedly very good, it is worth a visit simply to marvel at the history and beauty of this old building. Situated on the road towards the Abbey, it is a stunning and beautiful structure.

Popped in today on a tour of venues ... not booked in advance so opted to try as a walk-in No problem gaining access to a spacious garden after ordering drinks at the check in at the front of the pub Waited ages for the drinks to arrive as it was table service only Garden had plenty of tables but the staff were very slow in clearly the tables after people left,not ideal in covid worldNo instructions on how to order more drinks or how to pay etc, maybe relying on customers who are used to the new systemSo in conclusion, the beer was good, service and clear up on tables was poor

Visited The Green Dragon this afternoon - it was busy and we hadn’t booked but we were found a suitable table and then enjoyed the most enormous and delicious Pork Belly Roast I’ve ever had. Amazing. Just a shame we had to cycle home after... The garden was beautiful, full of plants and flowers and the staff superb in their manner despite all the additional demands placed upon them during these times. Can’t wait to go back. Might leave the bikes and waddle home next time though...

A visit to the Green Dragon this afternoon for a well earned drink resulted in a few drinks and a very delicious evening meal. The garden is looking great after all the hard work put in by Justin and the team and the covid 19 precautions are well executed. The real ale was as normal excellent, as was the food. The service was very good especially as the staff have to work hard with the new conditions they have to adhere to. Well done all involved and keep doing what you are doing, your efforts are very valuable.

We visited the pub on the 5th.. We were taken to a table in the garden which is beautiful! The staff were attentive and kept the COVID rules. We were with our dog and she was quite happy.The food was delicious and good value.i highly recommend a visit!

We had lunch at the Green Dragon as a family group of 6 and had a lovely time. If I was being picky I'd say that the meal took a while to arrive after we ordered, but I have to be fair and mention that this was not long after businesses had re-opened after the covid-19 lockdown and so there were special measures including social distancing in place, so I don't think it's unreasonable for things to take a bit longer.The food was excellent, very tasty and piping hot. After that, the most important thing is that the staff were all lovely, really helpful and welcoming. A big thank you to all of them, we will definitely be coming again soon!

Food is incredible, always an amazing selection of both vegetarian and non vegetarian. Pub garden is gorgeous so many beautiful flowers you could sit out there all day. Staff are very friendly and accommodating.

Came for drinks and a meal and had a lovely evening, improved by our very attentive waiter Harry who was constantly checking to make sure we were happy ! Will be coming back soon !!

Pre booked a table with a friend for dinner on a Friday night. Despite it being really busy all the staff were helpful and smiling. Moya was so lovely, really cheerful, checking we were ok, updating us on our order and then when it came she checked we were happy with everything. She even ran to our table with extra lemon for my awesome Calamari. We told Moya how lovely she is and she said how much she loves working at the Green Dragon- it definitely shows and we will definitely be back for more great food, fun atmosphere and amazing staff

i came in after work at 6 o’lcook after a long day, i was greeted by a lovely young lady called livvi, she escorted us to our table and took our drinks order, she was so polite and so professional the whole time, kept checking to see if we needed more drinks/food etc, anyone would be lucky to have an encounter with her here, made it completely enjoyable and cheered me right up with her positive work ethic. lovely evening and lovely drinks. would definitely recommend and be coming back here!

We have been eating at the Green Dragon for a number of years but went back, for the first time since lockdown, last week. They gave a great system in place to deal with social distancing and the staff were well organised. The food, as always, was really good, nice selection of beverages and staff commendable! Can’t wait to go back

We drove 45 minutes to this pub in response to great reviews - we are very serious about our Sunday roasts!All seating is in the garden which is massive, we were seated under a big gazebo with our 3 year old. This pub is absolutely stunning, the effort that has gone into the garden and plants at the front really accentuate the old age and character of this building. We ordered 2 pork and a mini nut roast. We couldn't believe the cut of meat that turned up, absolutely humongous and beautifully tender. TWO yorkshire puds, plenty of roasties and fresh veg. We asked for extra gravy (partner is a northener) which was no problem at all. All absolutely delicious and very generous portions, all reasonable ably priced. Book a table, you will not be disappointed.

If you are visiting Wymondham don't miss this old inn. It is everything that it looks like, and is well run and very friendly. To dogs as well as people!

Lovely evening with friends, great food and great service. Thanks to Jack, Harry and Will who were super attentive and went out of their way to make it a nice evening. Thanks lads.

The Green Dragon has always been a friendly Pub with great food but this time they worked hard, taking our details (just in case), ensuring all tables were safely distanced in the garden and cleaning them well between bookings. They have also added table service which we all enjoyed and would like them to keep if and when we return to normal!Can I just add a big thanks to the three very helpful, friendly lads - Jack, Harry and Will who served us and helped make it a pleasure to return to the pub again

I had a lovely evening at the Green Dragon. Social distancing Rules were followed at all times. Friendly staff especially Jack, Harry and Will. Will definitely be returning!!

Had a delicious meal with friends this week. The service was fab - Will, Harry and Jack looked after us brilliantly! The pub was busy and they were friendly and efficient!!!

Had a lovely meal with friends. Special thanks to Will, Harry and Jack who were run off their feet but nothing was too much trouble.

Called in for lunch and had to eat in the beer garden because of the size of the pub and COVID-19 restrictions. However this was very enjoyable in a very nice garden. Well organised, polite and friendly staff. Very good food which was served in a cardboard box! Excellent local ale served to your table. Menu had some pleasing and different choices but perhaps too many vegetarian dishes? Highly recommended. Superb very old and quaint building, many centuries old.

This was a stop over on our way to a staycation in Norfolk. It’s quite difficult to locate good pubs on the main routes in Norfolk so felt fortunate to find this gem.We received a warm welcome, all social distancing and procedures were explained to us before being shown to our table. We had prompt and friendly service, food was good and they served good real ales too. Very happy with everything and thoroughly recommended.

I went there with my friend, we had to give our details (track & trace), which took a couple of minutes, once seated we were waited on and drinks and food arrived in a timely manner. It was very relaxed with a lovely atmosphere. We had the same waiter which helped and the staff were warm, friendly and seemed well informed. The food we had was delicious and very generously portioned. Both dishes were well presented, and reasonably priced. We went in early I noticed the drinks as we left (when it was very busy) took slightly longer, but that was to be expected considering how busy it was. Staff worked extremely hard. All in all a very very relaxed enjoyable evening.

A truly British experience! The staff were great, the food was superb and there was live music on all evening which totally made the day. You’re say in this tiny old pub which at first can seem a little daunting but then you take it all in and it’s a truly magical place. You’re right next to the road but you wouldn’t know it! Highly highly recommend!

Unique pub full of character . Variety of choices and catered for vegetarian and gluten free dietary needs . Delicious fresh food . Friendly staff . However extremely slow service and menu in chalk board which was quite hard to read so make sure you bring your reading glasses with you .

We had a good meal served in a cardboard box. Menu is limited but the food is good. Drinks and food service was pleasant but rather slow.

The lady at the tourist office pointed us in the direction of the abbey and mentioned this pub. So, we came here after seeing the abbey. Built in 1371 as a pub for the monks of the abbey it had never closed until this year. The interior was still closed but the garden is beautiful and we enjoyed our drinks there. When i popped my head inside to see what I could I was given a micro tour by the lady from Edinburgh who was very well informed. She showed me where the tunnel from the abbey entered the pub and pointed out some of the architectural features.I'm usually only here for the beer and so this was possibly my most educational pub visit ever.

Gorgeous roast dinners and gorgeous pub. Very popular so can get busy. I would recommend to book a table in advance

Excellent restaurant experience. Was recommended this place by my brother (manager at the Maids Head) as they are pet friendly and we were meeting my grandad and his dog for lunch. Friendly accommodating staff, lovely beer garden and excellent food. Couldn't fault the place. Will definitely return when in the area!

What a lovely pub this is. We called in on our way to the Abbey and had a quick half. The rhubarb cider was absolutely delicious; I had the porter which was also good, but another time I'd have the cider. The pub is ancient and has lots of original features; the doors are wide and studded, the windows lead-paned and the floors are flagged. A really gorgeous old pub.

Late lunch called into this historic pub with friends for a late lunch was nice , good beers Friendly staff !

Lunch was not bad considering we didn’t know anything about the place. Light snack menu not very tempting or adventurous. The welcome was friendly enough, although service after was slow.

Drove into wymondham on the way back from norwich to get something to eat as the pub in norwich we was going to was being refurbished. We saw the green dragon had a good review so we tried it. The food was excellent staff friendly. We was seated in the snug at the back with 4 tables. Very small pub could see a lot of outside seating so would think great place in warmer months for a group of people.

What a nice experience in an iconic historic English pub. The menu was exceptional and we weren't disappointed. I ordered the 'Herby potato soup' as a starter. I didn't expect anything outstanding. After all what can you expect from potato soup. Was I pleasantly surprised! I've never tasted anything like it. Wonderful! Everything that we had was outstanding. Can't wait to go back for more.

Absolutely lovely, proper pub! The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was delicious and really reasonably priced! Even the regulars were super friendly and welcoming!We took our rather excited puppy in for a quick mid afternoon lunch, and our two children nothing was problem they were really reassuring, cannot praise the staff enough.....super friendly with honest tasty pub grub!Thank you!

There's a fine country pub called The Green Dragon in Shropshire, just down the road from where we were drinking last Thursday evening and here we were on the Friday afternoon in Wymondham. Norwich 'away day' and looking for a town close to the city, off the A11. We chose well and despite there being many pubs in the centre, we plumped for The Green Dragon and it was the only pub we used throughout our visit.Most tables were in the bar area were taken but we found the snug and made ourselves at home. Really friendly staff, brought our drinks to the table and then the manager came in with the special board from off the wall. We all had different bar meals; Fish Pie, Fish and Chips and a vegetarian chilli - all absolutely delicious.The ale was really good, you fear when you've not heard of anything on the bar but we were offered a taste and they were great pints. Wychwood was the brewer I believe. As it happened when we called again the Wychwood was no longer on but the ale we chose was also excellent.

I’ve eaten at The Green Dragon previously for Sunday Roasts which I must say have always been excellent, hence why my partner decided to book our valentines meal here.

Found this charming, very old 14C tavern by chance. Went in at opening (12pm), was very booked up but the lovely staff fitted us in no questions asked. Service was very fast, and food was exquisite! We had a topside beef and a pork belly roast. Would highly recommend for couples and groups, though book in advance because it fills up quickly!!

Had one of the tastiest ever roasts (pork belly) today. Food is of the highest quality and cooked to absolute perfection. Great value for money and friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Our favourite pit stop In Wymondham. The pub itself is stunning, like something from a fairytale! We use the garden most often after walking the dog. Really tasty, traditional food and always a cracking pint. Always made to feel so welcome. Go check them out.

Just, got home from having a lovely meal with friends. Been a while since we’ve eaten here as we always out dancing,but nothing has changed,still a lovely pub with friendly staff, and the food is still very good,well presented and tasty,my steak was cooked perfectly. We will be back.

We went on the recommendation of a family member - atmosphere is everything here. Lovely exterior and medieval (cramped but atmospheric) interior. Good food, friendly service and a rather unique experience

Excellent meal yesterday in the Green Dragon for our party of 9. One of our party was a coeliac child and he was delighted with his tempura chicken with chips. Reliably GF as cooked in a separate fryer. The friendly staff went the extra mile for us by moving us to a room where our dog could sit under our table. We will definitely return soon.

Just been in today for late lunch with visitors Found table by roaring log fire Helpful staff, quick service and great food.

Staff were helpful and friendly but didn't seem to know what they were doing. Food was below average - dinner dry and over cooked. Overall the evening was a huge disappointment and I will not be returning - neither will I recommend. I thought that perhaps it was just a bad night considering the other reviews but have spoken to a few people who have had the same experience but unfortunately haven't reviewed the pub.

There is a feeling about this place where people know each other, a regular crowd and even the bartenders take turn coming back to have a drink. Fantastic pubs and the front room with the traditional lead windows and wood beam ceilings. They also have their own Green Dragon ale, which if you like English bitter is a good option. Plenty of other options as well. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Love this place. It’s so relaxed and friendly and the quality is absolutely spot on. Great food and drinks with log burning stoves etc. Visit and enjoy

Despite having to wait an hour for our food as it was so busy in the pub, the food was worth the wait and Justin and his staff very friendly as always. Great kitchen staff to turn out each meal piping hot and full of taste.

If you want a lovely Sunday roast in a warm and friendly busy pub, this is for you, the food is always good.Justin and his staff cannot do enough for you and four legged friends are welcome too. If we lived near by we would definitely visit more often.

This is a great little pub, full of interest in a magnificent old building. The roast was one of the best I have ever had, especially the 2 amazing homemade Yorkshire Puddings!

A historic pub serving great ales and food,Two Beer Festivals every year, Quizs,Charity events,Live music events[though not too loud].The Garden is great and dog friendlyHighly reccomend The Green Dragon

There is always a lot going on in Wymondham which is nice. We had just got home from a Norwegian cruise and knew there was a Christmas fair at the Abbey, Lemon Days in the town and the Green Dragon, 10th anniversary celebration.

The portions were very generous, too much for me! Food was very good and quite prompt.

Called in a couple of times recently, great beer, lovely atmosphere. Didn't try the food, looking forward to spend more time there when next in the area

We visited this venue today Sunday 27th October. We ordered our main meal which was efficiently delivered. We asked for 2 extra jugs of gravy eventually after asking again we got 1 extra jug. We ate our meal which I have to say was very very good. After nearly 45 mins of finishing our main we had to find a waitress and ask for someone to take our dessert order. Desserts arrived about 20 mins later. We had a glass of Pepsi delivered to our table which we had not ordered. We asked for our bill and was told that the bill for our table had been paid we told them that we hadn’t paid. Waitress went off to sort it she never came back. Eventually after having to go to the bar and insist on a bill it arrived on checking bill we had been charged for 3 coffees when we had only had 2 and also been charged for the Pepsi that had been brought to table that we hadn’t ordered. We went to bar to sort it out which eventually it was, we were given a £22 discount for 3 couples. This was a very frustrating experience. As we had been told our bill had been paid wish we had just walked out. Cannot recommend the service at this establishment but the meal was very good apart from my custard on my dessert as it was luke warm.

We visited with a group of friends for Sunday lunch, their seemed to be a slight mix up over where we were going to be sat. On booking we had been told we would be seated in the front of the restaurant but instead we were put in a room at the back, we weren't too worried although one of our party who had been before said the front was nicer. Clearly the pub is a very old building with lots of beams and character, however I did feel that overall it was a bit tired and is decoratively in need of a makeover. The toilets also were not great and needed some renovation. The food overall was good, generous portions and welll cooked, we all had the roast, between us beef, lamb and pork, pigs in blankets and two Yorkshire puddings with all the roasts. A few in our group had desserts which were also very nice.

The meal takes forever to come, people aren’t very polite or informed and everything was cold it’s so over rated

After trying Queens Head, which was awful, my delicate palate was saved by this gem of a restaurant.

Now I'm not saying this was a flawless experience, and a few touches could have been improved upon, but if you go with the flow and buy into this inn, you'll leave full to the brim and somewhat wobbly on your feet !

Visited after trip advisor recommendations. My party were all underwhelmed with the experience. The service was incredibly slow, a 40 minute wait for food on a week day lunchtime? With no apology. Another table were complaining about the wait and they had arrived after us. My burger was a very sorry affair. A soggy white floury bap with a burger inside. That was literally it. No lettuce, tomato, gherkin, no relish absolutely nothing. It wasn’t even toasted. Extras (cheese,onions,bacon etc) could be bought as add ons but I would expect more of a basic burger for £9.95. It was truly the worst burger bun I have ever been given in a restaurant. The salad was really small and basic with no dressing on offer. Sauces were brought in McDonald’s style small paper pots. Small pottery pots would have been much nicer and more environmentally friendly. The chips were amazing though! Would I return or recommend? No!

Called in for a pint at lunchtime. My dog and I were made welcome and I enjoyed an excellent pint of IPA in the beautiful beer garden. Superb old pub!

3 of us went on Saturday night, it was very busy and there were several large groups 8+ in. We were told there would be a bit of a wait, to be honest, we didn't notice the wait. I've been in places where it's been dead quiet and had to wait longer. so very well done! I had the burger and it was fantastic, I would recommend double stack with cheese and onions. We had 2 starters, 3 mains, 2 large glasses of wine, a pint of Guinness and a lime and soda, for about £65. Harry, our waiter was brilliant, Quick, accurate and very cheerful.

First visit,love the pub and fantastic garden...friendly staff...we didn’t t eat but lots were and looked good.

My son and I visited on Monday night we had decided even before we went to try the locally famous Dragon Burger and were not disappointed.

Came across this pub after looking for pubs that cater for gluten free and vegetarian. Visited today, and was a lovely pub wit plenty of options. Shall definately go again.

There was no time for food here last year so we booked ahead for Sunday lunch. The beer was excellent, local and well kept and the roast pork was sublime. This is very popular, well established and the history is wonderful. You can feel it in the building, on the walls in the pictures. Do book for food to be sure of a limited space. The garden is beautiful and so "pubby" and allows dogs, good ones of course!

Had lunch in the dragon today and it was truly wonderful,only popped in for a swift half really but was tempted by the gammon in mustard sauce.. an enormous portion,I only just managed to finish it. ..thoroughly recommended,will be back

Stumbled across this place mainly because it was the only one we found that still served food after 3. Really glad we found it as the food was fab! We had the fish cakes for starter, you could tell they were home made and they tasted so good followed by good old bangers and mash. Would definitely visit again if we are in the area. Ps they also have a good selection of gins

What a lovely experience, the staff are so friendly and polite and the food was amazing! A ton of of delicious food for such a low price! Definitely will be going back.

We were there for the Bank Holiday beer festival and the place was packed with people enjoying the hot weather and great beer out in the garden. The staff were working very hard but were still pleasant and cheerful. The selection of beer and cider was extensive and the event was well organised. The building itself is old and atmospheric and we had a great time.

Amazing food! Especially Sunday roasts! Awesome beer can't wait for the beer festival! Going to be so many to choose from!

Spent a morning in the town and came across this place for lunch. Very traditional with a great atmosphere and really good choice of food. Specials on a blackboard also and decent choice of drinks. Staff friendly and helpful and good prices for everything.

Excellent food, excellent staff and excellent service! Caesar salad, fish and chips, chicken in mushroom sauce and ham, egg and chips all really good.

Loved the style of this pub with quirky interior - staff friendly and range of decent beers excellent. Varied menu good value and all meals were tasty. Weather was good enough to sit outside in lovely garden - a perfect summer evening. Well worth a visit.

Popped in for lunch for the first time since moving here 7 yrs ago. Lovely beer garden, relaxed atmosphere and excellent food. Great service and friendly staff

Just visiting Wymondham for the day and enjoyed a really good meal (fish and chips)I got stung by a wasp in the town centre and the landlady was very helpful and treated it with vinegar which was quite successful. Will definitely return..

Staying locally we popped in for something to eat. We were lucky as we went early. There was a function on so tables were limited and the pub is very popular so worth booking a table in advance. This pub has the smallest bar I have seen in a pub but serves good local ale. The food is very good and plentiful and the waitering staff are very pleasent and helpful. We really enjoyed our visit and would go again if in the area.

My husband, myself and our 2 dogs got the steam train to Wyndmondham and looked for a pub for lunch, we found The Green Dragon and are so glad we did and can not recommend it highly enough. It opens at 12noon. Its such an unusual pub so much character as really old, lovely immaculate garden seating area where we sat or looked lovely and cosy inside. Menu was fantastic as was the food when it was served, great vegan choices, plus lots of traditional and new style pub food. We wished we lived nearby as would have liked to try other dishes on the menu!! Jason the Landlord came over to chat to us he has done really well and the pub is a credit to him. Also the guy in charge of food came for a chat, its lovely when landlords or chefs take time to chat to customers.We honestly cant praise this pub enough do pay it a visit!!

I had the pork - all the trimmings. Was fab , plenty of it , veg cooked correctly - not mush, massive piece of pork belly cooked perfectly with loads of crispy crackling.

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend...the pub is extremely quirky and the garden area is lovely...some of the tables are a little squished but we were lucky in getting one that wasn’t...great to see that dogs are so welcome and the little drink station for dogs is great too...the Prosecco was nice if not a little warm as was kept in the cellar but the cooler did help...the food was great and all the other reviews are 100% right about the chips....AMAZING!!!there is a great selection of gins which was great for later on in the evening...will definitely return very soon.

Went here for a drink with friends and we decided to get some chips to nibble. They came quickly despite the place being busy and were amazing. Crunchiest, fluffiest chips ever. Seriously. I’m going back with my partner for a meal and will be buying anything as long as it comes with chips!!!

My local. Brilliant pub. Always friendly staff and a good selection of drinks. Good quality cooked food and a lovely outside area to sit in on this warm days.

I come here regularly with friends and family, favourite pub in the area! Food never lets me down and the pork roast is just amazing . The owner is always smiling along with all staff even when they’re seriously busy during beer festivals. Hats off to the chefs, front of house and bar staff - all awesome and dog friendly Can’t wait for your August beer fest!
