The Old Green Dragon in Newark and Sherwood

Genuine village pub with great range of rare real ales and fabulous pub grub. Really friendly and welcoming. Dogs welcome

Popped in this Friday (24th) for some food and honestly was one of the best places I have been too. It was very busy for the amount of staff that was on but they handled it very well. A young tall girl handling the very busy bar and restaurant made us feel very accommodated and helped us out with Ale (we went for the Black Iris) and food choices despite the place being very full. The food was absolutely 10/10 no faults it was delicious, very hot, big portion sizes which you don’t see often anymore all while being very affordable. It was brought out by a very polite young blonde girl and we were very well looked after by those two girls (I didn’t get names) and everyone around us seemed very happy the pubs atmosphere was just fab. Will definitely be visiting again.

Sunday lunch with our grandson food was very tasty well cooked and my gammon cooked to perfection.lovely atmosphere clean and tidy. Really friendly staff will visit again soon. Thank you.

This is a lovely pub , we go regularly and it’s always lovely and reasonably priced . The staff are lovely too . The food is really good quality and it’s worth trying the cheese cake absolutely gorgeous.

We went for Sunday Lunch, there were 4 of us my wife, son and daughter in law, for starters 2 of us had garlic mushrooms in a cheesy sauce, both were very hot and tasty and one had halloumi fries with salad also delicious and very tasty. For mains 2 had roast beef with all the trimmings, good portions and 4 different vegetables all piping hot and very fresh. The ladies had a nut roast which again was tasty, hot and very fresh. Only 1 of us wanted a desert which was a real let down as it did not match the quality of the starters or main courses, The cornflake tart was a real let down as the cornflakes on the tart were stale, soft and even with custard on very chewy and not at all enjoyable. I did mention this to a member of staff who merely commented that he would tell the chef? It just meant the meal was spoilt and should have been handled a little more sympathetically. If you are paying £102.00 for a meal and drinks for 4 people I think it should all be edible. Come on The Old Green Dragon I much prefer to give great reviews and not fail you on something so easily rectifiable!

Called in on a Thursday, which happened to be steak night. I had a rib eye, and the wife went for rump. We both like it medium to well done, and thats how it arrived, and chargrilled too ! Both had a large mushroom, onion rings, salad and chips. Sauce, unusually is included in the price, i had stilton, and the wife had dyanne. Both were delicious. Price was very reasonable. There was a choice of 6 real ales, even got a couple of tasters before i decided which to have! Very enjoyable, nice atmosphere. Will be back!

Very poor service, young blonde waitress was halfway through chewing food while bringing out our plates, asked for some extra sauce and she stood in the kitchen doorway on her phone until we were all half done with our food to bring us any sauce. made a small informal complaint to a larger man with a beard on our way out and he was very uninterested and unhelpful. citing that the waitress, hettie” was new. i know this to be false as i’ve been in on multiple dates previous and seen her in

Beautiful pub but very let down by staff. the two young waitress girls who portered our food were unprofessional and rather rude. Didn't seem to know much about items on the menu, responded "dunno, probably soon" when asked when food would arrive as we had been waiting a while, would have expected her to ask the kitchen, but just walked off with phone in hand. Ordered a hunters chicken that came out with almost no sauce, hard chips and warm, soft salad. had clearly been sat under heat lamps or out for too long.

Food was excellent and definitely value for money. Service on the other hand was poor. We had to chase up a drinks order, which was then bought out wrong and after being given the desert menu no one came back to take the order. There did not seem to be any excuse for this poor service as not overly busy and well staffed.

As soon as you park your car you can smell the old fat. Fish and chips awful, God knows what fish it was! Burger just strange! Chips not good, service was by very surly teenagers, Old bearded bloke, with low slung jeans ( you can see his bum) serving meals, was a bit harassed. Wine syrupy. Beer still good

Such filling tasty dishes served by friendly staff. Great pub with plenty of choice of ale and huge portions of food..definitely recommend

The Green Dragon is a super village pub serving really good pub grub. Atmosphere always friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend.

A warm welcome, Very friendly. Good range of beers to choose from. A great menu - choices to suit all tastes. Not long to wait for the food to be served. Delicious, well cooked food served piping hot. Any extras requested catered for without question.

Really plentiful delicious food served by friendly efficient staff. My husband has the gammon steak and it filled his plate!

Best service and beer in the local area. Reasonable prices. On balance it's an excellent vibrant village pub that serves a great selection of food. Staff seem really happy and they love dogs. Definatly worth a visit for a swift drink or a hearty meal.

Went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. What a fab place. Nice cosy friendly vibe. We had the steak and onion ciabatta. VERY nice!!! It came with a lovely salad. Very reasonably priced. We will definitely be visiting again. Little wonder it has been a winner of the village pub of the year!!

Very good Sunday Lunch in a lovely pub in a very nice country village. Good choice of food both roasts & other choices. Very friendly & helpful staff.

Ok for drinks, but don't have anything to eat, the place is filthy and some staff are rude and not willing to listen.

Have been to The Old Green Dragon, on quite a few occasions, including last Christmas, with the same bunch of friends, all visits have been excellent, but sadly this time it wasnt good.. I dont know if they have changed the Chef or the meat supplier or both, but the result was very poor. For starters i had French onion soup, which was quite tasteless and luke warm. My wife has pate, which see said looked like a pile of soil, and it too was tasteless, along with a couple of pieces of rock hard bread. For mains i had a rump steak, and it was probably the toughest, stringiest, piece of meat i have had. My wife had Christmas dinner, which was fine except she had to ask for the veg which came out later. I did ask the waitress to tell the Chef about the steak, but when i asked her for the response, she said that the Chef said sorry. We didnt bother with a sweet, as we didnt want to be trebley disappointed!

We visited on Sunday for lunch and it was fantastic, fluffy yorkshires, crispy roasties, fresh veggies. We came back today for Fish Friday and it was equally as lovely. Huge portions, incredible staff and reasonable prices. The Dragon is also pup friendly with treats for our canine friends. Highly recommended.

Our first visit here for a family get together and we were all very impressed. Friendly greeting and pleasant service throughout. Extensive well-priced menu, the portions were huge and the food hot and tasty. Clean modern toilets. Added bonus of being dog friendly with a little treat for the dog.

Fantastic pub in the lovely village of Oxton Gorgeous food, very friendly staff Pub does takeaways from 5pm Quality food for reasonable prices

Fantastic food, a massive selection of drinks, great service and really dog friendly. Good indoor and outdoor seating with its own little fenced off garden. My dog always gets a treat when we visit here and the staff are so friendly. Defo worth a visit.

The portion sizes were appreciable and the food placement was adequate. I Thoroughly enjoyed the music on my visit. The waiter was splendid when taking our order. Not a bad word to say after my visit.

We had been recommended this pub by a friend and it did not disappoint. Situated in a lovely village, dogs are welcome. Good distancing between tables. Very warm welcome as soon as we walked through the door. Again friendly and knowledgeable when we ordered food and drinks. Good vegetarian/vegan options for my daughter. She went with the mushroom Stroganoff and I went with the creamy pesto chicken tagliatelle. Both meals were presented really well and wow, absolutely delicious. My dish had an abundance of chicken and mushrooms, garlicky and a hint of pesto. I couldn't eat all mine as it was a large portion and the chef when he came out, noticed and asked if I wanted him to put it in a takeaway container which was great customer service and saved me cooking today :) We will definitely be back. Wish it was closer so I would be able to try some of the real ales on offer with my meal.

Another great visit with family. Food excellent as always , pub has a great atmosphere, and can get particularly busy early in evening. Staff great , friendly and welcoming, Im not a beer drinker but friends always rave about how good the beer is and what a great choice is always available! Will be back very soon .

What’s not to love about a fantastic local! Cloe serves a great Pinot and really tasty food, thoroughly enjoyed this huge Caesar salad and the sticky chicken starter is amazing in-fact all the starters are - we usually have one of each! The staff are lovely and so friendly - thank you as always, really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend The Old Green Dragon in Oxton.

Visited with friends for a meal lastnight. Gorgeous food & friendly staff. This is a "dog friendly" pub, the staff were amazing, it's just a shame one of their "locals" had a major attitude towards the dog being with us that kept making awful remarks...

Listen it's all good in this Pub.Beer goodStaff Friendly Clean 100%AND if you can eat.well it just got better.Off the Specials list of food.The new Mixed Grill is a must.I couldn't fault it in anyway.Had to leave a few chips and Peas.just couldn't clean the plate.Trust me you wont be disappointed

First visit since Covid, excellent food and beer, 3 of us had the vegan Penang curry which was delicious, the nut roast and chickpea and spinach curry were good too, one of us had the gammon which came with all the trimmings and was huge, the cornflake tart was lovely all homemade. Staff very attentive and Covid aware.

Went to this lovely village pub for the first time to have Sunday lunch.We had a beef and a pork meal and I can honestly say that they were excellent and my rating could be a six if one existed as it was so good. All the staff were very friendly and made you want to come back for a second visit... which we will.

Our first visit since the lockdown and it was great. The staff were very well organised, friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, well presented and I had to share the dessert as I was full. well done to you all for a lovely evening.

Went on a recommendation and was not disappointed. The food was cooked to perfection, and I was very pleased to have pie that was not warmed in the microwave. Good portion size. Very obviously home made. Fantastic selection of beers and ciders. The corn flake tart was the best I have ever had. The staff were there when you needed them and very friendly. I will certainly be going again when I am in the area.

Got to be one of the cleanest pubs about. Drinks are always good. Food is quality and evenly priced. Dog friendly beyond belief. Everyone who works here has a smile.And happy to help. All the Best Lamby & Turner

We come here quite often and have never been disappointed. The food is an excellent standard of Pub food with lots of selection and very generous portions. The beer, ale and cider selection is cast as well and all very well priced. Atmosphere is always great too. Probably why they have been named Nottinghamshire Village Pub of the Year three years in a row!

Came up here for dinner tonight. The food was absolutely delicious and perfectly portioned. The steak was beautifully cooked and very tender and the cornflake tart was the best way to top off a brilliant meal. The Beer was fresh and the service was impeccable. They stock a wide range of ales for the discerning cask drinker. There were plenty of staff who were all very attentive. The pub was busy with diners and locals alike and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Distancing was observed throughout, but they still managed to keep a friendly and relaxed vibe about the place.To add to all of this, the value for money was excellent. 3 courses and 2 pints of Peroni cost a very reasonable £30. This place is a must go if you’re in the area, or even if you don’t mind travelling out of town for quality food & drink.

Beautiful home cooked meals that were delicious and presented really well. The homemade steak and ale pie was one of the best I have ever tasted and my husbands gammon was super too. Really lovely staff who can't do enough for you and great atmosphere in here with customers of all ages.With the massive selection of ciders and well kept real ales I can see why this pub has won so many awards. We will definatley be returning and recommending this gem of a find to friends and family. You must try it out and you won't be dissapointed. Thank you for a fabulous meal.

I have enjoyed several meals at the Green Dragon ranging from lovely steaks to veggie options such as sweet potato curry. The food is really lovely very tasty and the staff are friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is very nice, small country pub style. Would recommend a meal or Sunday lunch with friends

We regularly visit the Green Dragon. We find the staff so friendly and there is a great atmosphere. The food is always very nice and great value for money. Would love to see a pasta dish on the menu, but other than that it's a great menu. There is a vast selection of beers and cider.

Compliments to the chef and kitchen staff for an excellent Vegetarian meal of the Moroccan nut Roast. A great location after a windy 6 mile walk, the beers and food were very welcome. The overall meal was complimented by excellent veg and gravy. The prices were very reasonable too.

As above food was very good as was the dinning room nice to see a wine list with red wine I like .we would defiantly go back as they welcome dogs in the bar.

Another fantastic meal flat iron steak cooked to perfection, and fish and chips with mushy peas , top quality real ales you couldn't wish for a better night out all the staff are so welcoming and very professional thank you

Great food, I had chicken and mushroom pie which was good, son had fish and chips which was really fresh golden and delicious, husband had amazing veggie curry, service good and staff friendly

Been here twice now and pleased both times. Excellent Sunday dinner and incredible beer selection. Whoever is in charge of the buying beer, good job. Came in with our dog and they brought her a blanket to sit on, real good service. Will come again and recommend.

The Old Green Dragon is hidden away but worth seatrching for. Meals are very good and reasonably priced. As expected a great selection of ales and also gins. Landlord and lady very friendly. Recommend a visit. The only drawback is it is not open every lunchtime.

The car park is more than ample. Decent sized parking spaces and plenty of them. We went in and was greeted by friendly staff who showed us to our table, they left us alone for a couple of minutes while we got settled in before asking us for our drinks order, rather than making us feel rushed like a lot of places do. The young lady taking our orders noticed my father was hard of hearing and spoke firm and clearly for him without being asked to. All the credit to her. The drinks came promptly and we was ready to order food. The food was delicious, my chicken was done to perfection as was my parents food. The vegetables were lovely and perfectly done with the peas tasting like fresh, home grown garden peas. They were really tasty. The 1 fault here was we had the chef and both waitresses ask us if the food was okay, or if everything was okay. However we didn't mind because they made us feel welcome and like nothing was to much trouble from the word go, they always was cheerful and smiling.The food was reasonably priced. However the 1 thing which put a dampener on the whole experience for me was the fact that when I went to the toilet, while it looked clean and spotless, the smell was awful! I cannot say anything else about that. It smelt awful. That is the only reason the review hasn't got a 5 point rating off me.However, I will be going back, hopefully soon. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The place is a well hidden little treasure. Well worth looking for.

We have eaten here a couple times and enjoyed the food and the good service.. This visit was was amazing as the Lamb Steak was excellent and beautifully presented with plenty of vegetables and salad. I didn’t think I could eat it all but I had a go. The desert

Friendly staff. Good Quality food, fresh vegetables and good selection of beers along with a pleasant atmosphere.

For the second time in only a few weeks we arranged for our Tennis group to dine after our Friday game , following the success of the first visit .

Friday early evening meal with friends. On arrival we were made welcome by the bar staff. The atmosphere was excellent with people chatting and drinking. The pub was very well decorated and welcoming. We were shown to our table in the restaurant by a friendly member of staff. Food was excellent. I would certainly recommend the fish and chips. Our friends also praised the food. Throughout the evening we were looked after by the attentive restaurant staff. The only downside to the evening is that I am not so sure that dogs should be allowed in the restaurant. I don't mind if they are in the bar area but I don't think allowing them in the restaurant is acceptable. This is a step too far....

18 of us booked in for my son's 21st birthday celebrations. Staff were excellent, good communications with our booking, food was very good and the service was excellent. Can't thank them enough for helping the event to go so well, especially as we had three dogs and some tricky orders which were all dealt with without any fuss. Many thanks.

Went for a Wednesday night meal with friends , nice friendly pub and very good food only disappointment was not huge choice on the starters but main courses and deserts were all good , also the overall cost was very well priced to , would definitely visit again , just hope more starter choices next time

Me and my husband came here for a meal and we was not disappointed. The food was just delicious the staff was great and the atmosphere was fine. 100% we would recommend

Thursday night is steak night. 10% off. I’d say that’s a generous offer and one worth taking up.

Here for lunch. Quite a good menu, opted for prawn salad and shared a bowl of chips. Both were lovely Prompt attentive service from friendly staff Will definitely visit again

Great pies here in Wednesdays. Recently started opening on Weds, Thurs and Friday afternoons. Really good selection of beers and lagers. Nicely decorated and clean too. Food was excellent as was the service. I'll be back.

Food was very good and reasonable prices the only criticism is slow service we waited ages for our drinks but would recommend

We had a group booking for 9. We ordered starters and 1 starter did not arrive with the others, as it arrived when everyone else had finished theirs. Also one of the main courses (vegetarian) was not with the others and arrived 10 minutes later. However, they did offer us 10% discount to compensate. The food and drink is excellent and can not be faulted and the service was good, but I suspect not for larget groups.

Liked this pub. It feels like a proper Pub . It’s well decorated in quite a contemporary way.

A lovely pub, it's no wonder it was voted Pub of the Year. Clean, very nice decor. Welcoming and efficient staff, quick to serve. The Sunday roast was great. The ONLY thing I could find fault with was that the "apple crumble" wasn't actually a crumble at all - the top part a[[eared to be biscuit crumbs, so fine that it was like biscuit dust! Tasty but odd.

Visited with friends whilst in Oxton and loved this pub, had a really relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff and good choice of beers. Very popular with locals who are also very friendly, sat outside and felt very welcome.

Came here to celebrate my boyfriend and his brother’s graduation down to “good word of mouth” and could not have been more disappointed and frankly embarrassed. I work in hospitality in a well-known chain and cannot believe the level of service this “pub of the year” is providing. My boyfriend and his brother’s steaks both came out much later than everyone else’s meals, with almost no apology and absolutely no explanation or transparency. It’s always important to keep the customers in the know and be honest with them, as we all know mistakes happen and we assumed the young waitress had forgotten to put the meals on the till.

Seriously recommend this great village pub. The food is 10/10. Lovely atmosphere and really nice staff too. Sunday dinner was fantastic x

Can't fault the food but the service was terrible. We ordered our meals but after some time they came to tell us that there was no sirloin steak. Two of our party had ordered this so had to order something else. After another lengthy wait someone came to tell us that they'd lost our order so we had to give it again. Our food finally arrived an hour and a half after we had arrived at the pub. We also didn't like the fact that there were lots of dogs in the eating area.

This is a great pub. Really good range of drinks & a nice village location. The food looked great though we didn’t eat here. Will be returning next time we’re nearby

Had the nachos to start and Cajun spiced chicken fajitas for main and wow, the flavours were incredible. You could hear all the surrounding tables discussing how grit was too

We have recently moved into the area and gave the Green Dragon a try for Sunday Lunch.

We had a family meal on Easter Sunday and it was lovely. Great food and the staff were excellent. Very good value for money

My friend booked a table for 12 15 pm on 16 April for three ladies .

Visited having been in pub week before and noticed it was steak night on Thursday so thought we would give it a go.

Found this place on the internet and planned to visit as we we in the area, lovely village location, friendly staff and plenty of parking, we had large fish and chips, chicken pie and mash, could not fault anything, a good experience

Having decided to try somewhere new for my birthday, my friend and i chose your venue. Hosts were welcoming and helpful. Everything was going well until the food arrived, whilst my partners cheese dish was ok, I ordered the pie of the day. There was a small delay on arrival of the food, when it arrived it was very disappointing, my plate consisted of 1 broccoli floret, 1 cauliflower floret, 3 pieces of sliced carrot, i tablespoon of garden peas, a decent portion of overcooked frozen chips (to fill the plate) and finally a pie the was smaller than any fish and chip shop pie i have ever purchased. Although they did serve us, dessert orders must be in by 8.30pm !!!

Went in to this lovely pub for a Sunday dinner. We did pre order our Chicken as we know they get very busy. The meal was outstanding. Everything cooked to perfection. Loved all the courses. The service staff were really friendly and very helpful.

Amazing amazing amazing. Possibly the best Sunday lunch I have had. Staff lovely atmosphere great. Food came out and was beautifully cooked. We will be back 👏👏👏

What a great village pub! Good to see a good selection of real ales on offer. Friendly and helpful staff - nothing too much trouble. We went on Wednesday night - pie night but the full menu was on offer. I would recommend the steak. My husband loved the belly pork and our daughter enjoyed a steak sandwich. Perfectly cooked and generous portions. Great atmosphere.

My first visit with my wife and two friends. Table booked for a Saturday evening. We received a warm and friendly welcome as we entered. Table was reserved and ready. Immediately had orders for drinks taken with wine cooler for the wine ordered. The meals were absolutely wonderful. 3 steaks were ordered and all 3 were cooked to perfection and just as ordered. The rump steak i had tasted absolutely delicious. Each steak comes with a choice of sauces included in the price and presented separately. The fish was huge and had a magnificent taste. Everything was so obviously fresh and freshly cooked. We will definitely be back.

Went for a drink and meal,flat iron steaks perfect beer first class as always, friendly staff and owner's

We reserved a table yesterday before our first visit today for the Sunday menu. Our table was prepared and a high chair waiting for us which was nice to have done ready for us. The staff were very attentive and chatty! Pub is baby friendly which is a bonus for us with a 1 year old who is still breastfeeding! Food was brought out promptly and was delicious! They even did a smaller roast for a baby which was perfect, they also brought out small fork and spoon for him to use which was another nice touch. Very friendly atmosphere and also free to use electric car chargers, always a bonus! We’ll be coming again soon!

I visited ‘the Old Green Dragon’ and was very pleased with the experience, it was recently after I had visited ‘Wetherspoons’ and I must say that my fiancé & I were much more satisfied with the food, staff and overall vibe. However, the only reason I am giving the pub and restaurant four stars is because ‘Wetherspooons’ offered an application for my iPhone which allowed me a much easier way of ordering and paying for my food straight to my table.

I regularly eat here as a family, and we’re never disappointed. The staff are friendly and accommodating (even adding vegan options to their menu after we suggested it!) We always look forward to coming back. Thanks again!

Doing our Sunday lunch club I thought that the meal here was good generous portions good service fresh ingredients my only criticism would be roast potatoes poor and it needs to be a lot hotter

We called in recently to eat at this pub. It was immaculately clean and there was a good menu of reasonably priced food. Our meal was delicious with very generous portions. We had to move tables however, as music was blaring from the speakers and we were sitting under it. The music was not relaxing but was irritating. The two guys behind the bar, who both appeared to be new members of staff, spent a lot of time playing on their phones, when not serving customers. We shall certainly return but hope that the music is more appropriate to this pub. We have visited it before and have never noticed a problem.

Used be a local in the 80s, been back a few times over the years. This time the food was excellent and the staff very friendly. Would very much recommend the steak, spot on.

We popped in as never been here before but heard good things. The selection of ales at the bar was good. Good food menu. Lovely young man served us. Polite and helpful. We had the specials and one veggie curry. We sat outside (gorgeous sunny day) we didnt have to wait long and we weren't disappointed. The food was good and plenty of it! We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be returning

Booked a table for 7 people for 8pm bar and restaurant was very busy with a great atmosphere . Steaks were of a high quality and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and the bill very reasonable .

We'd booked a table with two friends for 19:45, our orders were taken at 20:00. The restaurant was busy and we were chatting thterefore quite happy to let the evening flow. My husband and I both ordered fish & chips. After waiting 45 mins we were told to go thru' to our table in 5 mins. Our food was well, dismal (think blackened batter). Both pieces of cod were massively overcooked and having been told that the chef finished at 21:00, (we sat down at 20:50) we ate the food. We were happy to pay for the food seeing as we'd eaten most of it, however.....when it came to settling the bill and we had the temerity to comment to the bar boy that the food was dismal (we had to explain to him what the word dismal meant), he shouted across the bar; 'Dave, this man says the food was dismal'. It was at this point that both of the owners became extremely aggressive. The chef however was pleasant and apologised for the quality of the food served. The owners were still ranting on saying that this was the first complaint they'd had in three months. Wow!! As we were leaving the other owner, Shaun, said 'yes, go on, leave and don't come back'...... as though we were going to do anything other than that..........and we live in the village. So overall, what could have been a pleasant evening and our complaint resolved with a simple apology became an abusive, unprofessional and unbusinesslike rant with no concern for customer service. Dreadful.
