The Green Dragon Inn in Cotswold

Lovely little pub ,the shop on site was full of lovely local products and the staff were knowledgeable and helpfull Topped off with a cracking cup of coffee from the shop.

Gone down hill. Children’s food is terrible and suddenly the chips are just packet garbage. Sort it out…

We had lunch at The Green Dragon yesterday, visiting for the first time in 30 years! The bars and restaurant were just as characterful as ever and our lunch was sensational. Widely varied menu and drinks catered for a variety of tastes and every staff member was helpful, friendly and attentive. Very highly recommended.

The haddock fish and chips is absolutely exisuit and probably the best I have ever had. One of the best pubs in England. I would highly recommend.

Lovely room, comfortable bed, very quiet, delicious breakfast.

Tricky, can't decide how best to review this. The location is in the middle of nowhere, but that's what you want/expect in the countryside? So it is walkable within reason. Anyway, the pub itself was rather cool, ducks and twists, ups and downs. There's more than what appears when you first enter. Most of the staff were friendly, approachable but one I felt was kinda blunt and short when delivering our food and the last, who we asked the bill for ended up standing at the bar, drinking a beer and rolling a cigarette while we waited so we could pay and be on our way. Over £12 for a large wine and a pint of beer, feels a tad much. I had the whitebait for starters, overall it was okay but the batter was a bit too crispy for my liking. Which also took away from the flavour because it had been fried too much. Rump steak for mains, asked for mid-to-rare but more on the rare side. As you can see in the photo, this is not what I asked for. All our meals were luke warm at best, except the chips they were hot. No one bothered to come and make sure everything was okay with the food, otherwise we would've said something. Don't want to be running round looking for staff while I'm meant to be eating... Anyway, we left pretty quick, didn't bother sticking round for another drink. Car park - massive. Toilets - 1 for men and 1 for females. Kid/dog friendly - so very loud. Wouldn't go back.

Had Sunday lunch which was very nice would definitely recommend!😄

We come to eat telling the costwolds route. Good restaurant to rest and eat. They have a choice of sandwiches or a plate. We ate spaghetti. Very well cooked. Very friendly staff. 100% recommended. They have a parking lot. We went without making a reservation and we didn't have any problems.

I can't comment on the hotel. We went to eat. The place is cozy, impeccable and located in one of the most beautiful areas of England, in my opinion, the Cotswolds. Great service, fast and professional. The menu has many of the options of other pubs but better prepared. A higher point in terms of presentation and quality. Everything we ate was very good and the perfect quantity. We will definitely recommend it.

Great Sunday roast - but make sure you book in advance!

An utterly charming spot, with plenty of micr carved into the furniture. It’s quintessentially Cotswolds, with low ceilings, hearty English fare and rolling hills right on their doorstep. Great sized portions, favourites included fish and chips alongside a herb-crusted fish pie. Lovely attentive staff. Highly recommended!

Good Sunday roast and quick service. Lovely cosy pub

Lovely pub, with good beer and vibes. Didn't eat or stay.

Fantastic pub with amazing staff and friendly service to match. Good selection of beers and great pub food. Management/owners please consider changing the chairs. They're really uncomfortable, which was a shame, and would have stayed for longer had they not been so bad.

Thank you to the two gentlemen who made my son and I very welcome today. We had just walked 9.6km around Cleeve Common and I had fallen and was covered in mud and embarrassed. But we had a superb lunch in a great pub, with great service and somewhere I will come back too. Thank you all.

Didn't stay there but food was great and good service...

Very good post walk lunch, friendly service, good food, good prices for the Cotswolds

Super nice service, very welcoming and accommodating. Comfortable clean room. Lovely location

We have used this pub over the years and generally the food pleases. I think the prices have become over the top. £25 for a less than perfect fish pie . Small with a few minuscule prawns. The steak and kidney pudding had scant meat inside. Chips good. Burger less than average . Vegetables plenty. This is pub grub not fine dining , I can’t understand the pricing . Not all staff are particularly friendly . Needs tweaking .

A lovely traditional pub with the log fires burning. Visited for lunch when seeing family locally, had to book on the phone but definitely worth the extra effort. We enjoyed the specials, a fantastic salmon risotto and sausage and mash. Delicious puddings too. The food and the service were both excellent, we’ll be back.

Just so poor. I’d suggest they remember that even on a Tuesday in February that a warm welcome, non microwaved food and a roaring fire is what anyone goes for …. Sadly we got the opposite (whilst also being told we had to be in the pub before 8pm for last food orders despite last orders on their website saying 8.30pm). I’m always hopeful that when eating out it genuinely delivers something that I can’t do in 5 minutes from a supermarket ready meal served with that elusive quality of genuine hospitality (especially as there seemed to be more staff than Customers) . The other reviews here genuinely baffle me - I know the hospitality industry is suffering … perhaps some of this is of their own making ?

Nice pub, great real open fires, staff were pleasant. We ordered fish finger sandwiches on a choice of white or granary bread choosing granary - £10.95 each so for my wife and I almost £22.00 for two fish finger sandwiches. They arrived on wholemeal with no explanation or apology so that was the first disappointment. The salad garnish and few crisps on the side were ok. The fish fingers were budget and not a premium fish finger so 2nd disappointment - at that price you would expect the chef would use a quality product - but no.

Really charming pub, definitely worth the detour

Plentiful food and well presented tasted fabulous. Best fish and chips in years

A beautiful building with some exciting Thompson "mouseman" bar tops and tables and chairs which were so unusual to see! The log fires added to the overall positive ambience. The beers were varied and good. A great start. Sadly that was the end of the positives of our visit. The food which wins accolades elsewhere here, was poor and overpriced, the service was functional. Several of us had steak and kidney puddings with mushy peas. The pies were remarkable, - for their LACK of steak and kidney AND flavour! two small pieces of beef and one piece of kidney and a strangely flavourless suet patry casing with lots of flavour lacking gravy. The fish pies were equally disappointing, lacking in any quantity of fish and prawns, and the burger possibly the best buy of that day - rated as "alright". I was not convinced that the puddings were not bought in rather than made on the promises and came to the same conclusion about the panko crumbed king prawns I had as a starter - they at least had flavour if appearing to be made of chopped prawns and uniformly shaped. I could of course be wrong about that but it doesn't really matter, what does matter is that they were expensive and poor value for money.. I must say that I think there's nothing intrinsically wrong with buying in dishes but at these prices I expect better quality whether bought in or home made.

This was a very disappointing experience. The ambience of the Inn was great and the service acceptable. However, the food was way below the standard I expected from reading the reviews. My partner and I had the Fish Pie, a complete misnomer, with just a small quantity of mushy fish with an overload of herbs that dominated the flavour. For what it was, it was vastly overpriced as were the dishes our friends had. I would not fecommend it, nor will I be going back any time soon.

Lovely pub, great service and food. Thank you!

What a great pub full of charm, a great place to enjoy a meal. Good selection of ales at the bar. Food was top quality, and very reasonably priced. Staff were really accommodating and friendly. Loved it

Came for dinner and enjoyed an incredible meal absolutely worth the price. Fish pie is packed with a variety of herbs and seafoods perfectly seasoned in a creamy sauce. Sirloin steak is tender and cooked exactly to order, amazing cut. And highly recommend you finish with their treacle tart which is deliciously rich, and balanced with a lovely clotted cream on the side.

Absolutely the nicest meal I have had in a while. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere very nice

I was seriously impressed by this amazing pub/restaurant. Found by chance whilst passing through the area. Stopped off for lunch. The service, atmosphere, decor and food was hands down the best i've had in years. The Christmas decorations were unique and magical and perfect for a romantic, cosy lunch. I had a vegan quiche lunch option with a side salad and chips. Everything was so fresh, home made and full of flavour which is unusual as many restaurants/pubs don't put any effort into their vegan offerings. We are absolutely planning to come back soon and stay the night next time so that we can spend more time here. Highly recommended for a romantic meal or cosy get together with friends and family!

A lovely meal at a wonderful "out of town" venue. Well worth a visit.

Exceptional customer service from the moment we arrived. Really welcoming and friendly. Room was very clean & cosy and had everything you would wish for. Particularly good bed linen! Lovely dinner in the evening and gorgeous breakfast in the morning. Well stocked shop on site with everything from gifts to daily papers....Thank you for a great stay.

We stopped here on the way back from the Peak District with friends before we went our separate ways home. Unfortunately we only had drinks and crisps as the we’re closed for food. This is a quality inn with a shop selling fresh local produce. We decided we would meet here again and book a table in advance.

Lovely cosy pub, will definitely come back to have the food soon

Loved this pub, country location.

The Green Dragon is my favourite pub in the world ❤️ I'm usually able to visit a couple of times a month for food or drinks and every visit has been brilliant. The food is always fantastic and if I ever have friends or family staying I always bring them here as I know it'll be great. In the summer it's lovely sitting outside on the front tables in the sunshine, and in the winter the mouse bar is the cosiest place ever! Can't wait for Christmas meal next month!

The worst burger ever- overcooked “patty” which no chef should allow to leave the pass.im not a fussy eater and do not send back food but the “burger “ was a disgrace

We stayed at The Green Dragon as we were attending a family wedding nearby . We were really impressed with our rooms and the welcome from the staff . Rooms were comfortable and breakfast was excellent. The lady who served breakfast was really friendly and always asked if we needed anything else . Thank you to everyone who made our stay so enjoyable.

Food is better than the real ale. Staff are a bit stiff, not the warmest of welcomes. Nice outside area if the weather permits.

We arrived in the afternoon, and were warmly welcomed by the staff. We took a lovely forest walk in the area, then a great dinner at the pub. The room was amazing, we got the SG suite, which was very large and comfortable, fully equipped (including a bathroom which was larger than many of rooms we saw on this trip...) Breakfast was perfect.

Seven of us made a return visit for Sunday lunch. The lamb and beef were succulent and delicious and the tasty veg freshly cooked. We were so pleased we made room for pudds. The staff were kind and welcoming. Thank you for a great experience!!

Appalling service on orderings drinks he dropped and smashed a whole bottle of wine after dinner charged the table next doors bill

Strange start to the evening with a waitress who seemed displeased we'd called in to have dinner--she veered towards Basil Fawlty territory and annoyingly brought a bottle of white wine that wasn't chilled put into an empty bucket so I had to ask if we could have some ice in it so the wine would actually chill! After that things were fine and the food was perfectly acceptable. I had mushroom with goats cheese as a starter which was very good and then the turkey fricassee which was ok if a little bland. My wife had a starter of caesar salad which was enormous and would have served as a main course.

A little slice of heaven with added tranquility - Lovely greeting upon arrival from the girls behind the bar, I missed dinner but was offered a cheese board and pint - and for that I was most thankful. peaceful, relaxing, friendly but not overly in your face. I will return and leave enough time to sample the menu next time and take in more of the surroundings too. Rooms were quirky and fabulous and suited my needs in every way. Like with all trips to new places if you open your mind to new experiences, you will only have a great experience. It’s a bit off the beaten track but well worth seeking out and google maps takes you straight there.

We walk the dogs around this area and have been meaning to stop and have a meal for quite a while. So, we booked a table, a week and a day in advance, for an early evening on a Thursday and were looking forward to it. We were shown to a table in the bar and after having people standing and brushing up against the table, asked to be moved. It looked like all the tables were reserved, but the waitress swapped us to another table in a quieter area and we were grateful for this. The food was of general pub quality, and now we’ve been once, we don’t feel the need to return again. The waitress service was really good, she was friendly, helpful and was engaging with everyone. In all, it took two hours from sitting to getting the bill for a main and pudding.

Love love love this place! Stayed one night en route to Devon. It was so delightful. A comfortable room, stunning views, attention to detail, a decent bed! It was a travellers rest indeed, and both the evening food service and breakfast were excellent.

We were locuy to get a table as chance diners, this restaurant is obviously somewhere where one needs to book. A good menu with several fish choices and several vegetarian choices. An excellent choice of wines by the glass as well as by the bottle and a very well put together wine list which showed alcohol grades. Service was excellent even though the house was very busy. The car park is over the road so a bit further than ideal for those of reduced mobility who may prefer to be dropped outside before the car is parked.

Excellent service, excellent food, standard prices, atmospheric Cotswold pub. Been coming here for years and always look forward to it. A special planned evening meal with family from overseas and a hoped for opportunity to catch-up over a nice meal BUT utterly spoilt by a riotous children’s party in the restaurant area which made it virtually impossible to hear each other speak 😡 No one would grudge children a party but not in the evening and not in the main dining area. Sadly we will not be back - a real pity -

Deze week twee keer heerlijk gegeten bij The Green Dragon in een gezellige ambiance. De bediening was zeer vriendelijk. Het dessert was fantastisch. The Green Dragon is zeker een aanrader net als de naastgelegen shop. Reserveren voor het restaurant is aanbevolen.

Lovely traditional country pub with good food. It can get busy, so booking ahead is recommendede. It has a large car park across the lane from the pub itself and a charming beer garden. We enjoyed the home-made fish pie and the traditional fish and chips. Food was freshly cooked and served hot and the staff were great. Pity we did not have time to go back!

Visited the Green Dragon Inn for drinks and dinner and I was so impressed. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond - especially for our four legged friends who were offered water and a biscuit! The food was delicious - goats cheese starter is a must and the burger came with a choice of cheeses! Cocktails were also spot on. Will definitely go back next time we’re in the Cotswolds!

I understand the current tenants/managers are leaving soon so I am hopeful the new people make changes but the service is just horrific. It feels like everyone goes out of their way to be unhelpful. We are getting married in September at Cowley Manor next...

I just want to say, £17.50 is a lot of money for fish and chips. For that price it ought to be absolutely top notch but unfortunately it isn't. The fish tastes fresh enough and the batter is crispy but seems a bit oily to...

We were looking for somewhere for lunch and saw the sign for the Green Dragon and followed it. The pub is in a pretty location and we were welcomed by a roaring log fire. The food was very good. Giant sized Yorkshire puddings will remain...

I have lived locally to this establishment for 27 years. I return rarely to see if the front of house service has improved. Sadly, it continues to be consistently poor. It should be included in a hospitality curriculum as ‘how not to treat to customers.’...

Such a nice place. The food was delicious, deep in flavorous. I loved everything. I highly recommend to visit. Costumer service really professional.

Tables in several areas of the pub. Most people eating and very popular on a midweek lunchtime, so definitely worth booking. There is a wide ranging menu, supplemented by blackboard specials. Of our four dishes, smoked trout was good, and the others (pigeon, pheasant, steak...

The location and ambience of this 17th century Inn is lovely but my enthusiasm ends there as the food just doesn’t come up to expectations. I’m amazed its had any good reviews, maybe we’ve all gotten used to paying too much for poor quality. If...

We have visited the Green Dragon several times but this visit we took friends for the first time, for Sunday lunch. You get a very friendly welcome and the relaxing ambience is lovely , this is a fantastic country pub and perfect in every way....

On the rare occasion that my four children are all together, we went to dinner at the Green Dragon in Cockleford Fantastic welcome great food and wonderful service

We were made to feel welcome as soon as we checked in. Our room was comfortable & well prepared. Dinner was of very good quality with great service. The shop at the pub is well worth a look with some nice products.

We booked the Green Dragon for Sunday lunch on 14 Sept 22, firstly the service was not up to expectations, the person that took our order was very brisk and unwelcoming. Our starter which was soup was just fine, but one of our party did...

The staff at this pub were extremely welcoming and the food was well made and tasty. I would definitely recommend anyone who is in the area to try eating here.

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch here. A proper country pub and restaurant with open log fires with warm festive appeal. Great food and service. A hidden gem.

We popped in on the of chance for a drink and lunch. We found a warm welcome, great beer and lovely lunch choices. Beautiful interior with open fire topped off a great visit.

Nice food and really lovely staff! Would definitely recommend. Only thing I would say is I wish the portions were smaller as it was very big and filling

Wonderfully comforting old English pub. Service second to none. Visited for lunch - came back for supper. Thank you Simon and Nicky x

We had 2 days at this quaint lovely hamlet pub. Everyone is so lovely and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are in a separate building behind the pub. It was very quiet and the beds were very comfy, with a great power shower...

Stopped here on the off chance; managed to get a nice table outside next to the quiet road. Went for the lamb roast. All was really nice but could have done with a bit more veg. Would happily return.

Rude and abrupt service on more than one occasion. Neither times were busy and separate members of staff were dismissive, unfriendly and clearly not interested in business.

Lovely setting and great service despite it being really busy. Hats off to the three waitresses working. But the food is poor. I had a burnt aubergine stale couscous and a horrid sauce out of a jar. Such a shame given the location, and waiting...
