The St George And Dragon in East Devon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

great all around visit food drink service all top notch would recommend

We enjoyed our evening meal on Saturday, it represented good value for money in a pleasant atmosphere. The service was a bit chaotic but the food eventually arrived. Tracey came to the rescue and brought some fun to our dining experience. Mr Spoon

Great place to eat. Food is delicious.

Booked a table for the family got there and run out of food. Very disappointing, paid for drinks and left.

Managed to get a last minute table booking and glad we did. Will be coming back again soon. And thanks to Tracey for serving us today

Booked in for some good at this place, glad we did as the food was really nice, had the pork belly and really tasty 😋, I would definitely recommend this venue for food, Tracey one of the staff members was brilliant to talk to and get along with, even cracked some jokes and made us laugh 🤭, will 💯 % return

Slow service despite being not busy and forgot to bring out the pudding. They said they'd take it off the bill which is obvious they should as they didn't serve it. However, burger was good and the beer very nice.

Tracey was a brilliant waitress serving us in the garden. Very friendly. Jack served our food which was outstanding. Very friendly and professional.

Excellent venue, food and service. Choices of food in the menu were extremely nice. Will definitely come again!

Could do with new carpets but food was good

Friendly and Pub with a homely atmosphere 🌟 We visited the St George and Dragon in the summer holidays during quieter hours and was treated to friendly service and food that was well cooked and plentiful in portion, but perhaps lacking a bit of spice and flavour. We had the two courses for £16 which worked out as a very good deal for the food we had. The pizza was fresh and appeared to be homemade but had little toppings on top. The calamari was bland and the chips were not soft and fluffy and were rather chewy. We were left waiting for service on multiple occasions and it appeared that we had been forgotten about at the end of our meal and chose to leave as opposed to having another drink or dessert as planned. 🌟 Recommendations: Homemade Pizza ⛔️ Drawbacks: Sevice was slow, bland food overall 🦑 Squid Rating: 6/10 🌟🌟🌟/ 5 Stars

We had a fantastic meal this evening , the nicest roast I’ve had in a while! The service couldn’t have been any better , we were served by Tracey who was welcoming and friendly.

Just returned from our second and last stay here, how things have changed, pleasant staff, breakfast really poor, a shame because our last stay the breakfast was very good. The room not very clean, mirror dirty,very dusty around shower base, bedside lights not working, window wouldn't close,nothing major but general lack of care compared with a spotless room last stay.

Travelled past the pub very many times, but first time to stop for dinner. Excellent vegetarian and vegan dishes, and first class service from Tracey.

Tracey was very welcoming and friendly.2 of us had Sunday dinners ,1 Hunters Chicken and 1 Aubergine Gratin.Everyone agreed the food was delicious.Lovely atmosphere and replenished our drinks without delay.100% Recommend.

Booked a table to have lunch with some friends one of whom has mobility difficulties so needs easy parking and access. Thanks to the fact that the George is ideal from that perspective, and then the lovely surroundings, excellent menu and really helpful staff (Tracey) we all had a lovely experience. Thank you.

Three meals ordered, 3 times cooked chips were hard and not edible. Fish batter very dark, perhaps an oil change needed. Mac and Cheese, claggy, symptomatic of micro wave cooking. Prawns and Chorizo dish, chorizo was rubbery. Having had really good value food here in the past this was an extremely disappointing visit. The person in charge apologised profusely and did not charge for the food. This was gratefully accepted but doubt I shall choose to return unfortunately. Is it a new "Chef" , certainly way off previous standard.

I have visited the george in the lastweek and its gone down hill since last year when the manager lesley left the business.we turned up this time with no booking to be found on there system although it was booked back in march also the housekeeping team on tidy the fooms now and dont change the towels even though they are on the floor for changing and there also seems no communication between the managers and staff which is frustrating when messages are not getting through.

Over cooked ribeye not told they had no lamb or peppercorn sauce chips burnt fish was totally overcooked in dirty oil No deserts and what was available was disgusting The male manger was quite rude 😒

Table for four on Saturday for our son’s birthday, the environment is beautiful full of olde charm blended with modern feel, spotless clean. Really nice menu. The staff are so friendly we had a waitress called Tracey and she was amazing, so friendly, full of life and she made our day with her input. Our Son did not want a desert so she appeared with a plate with chocolate sauce strawberry and a candle singing happy birthday such fun. The food was home cooked and amazing. We had a little issue with the order but apology and soon rectified great customer care. Definitely will return

Tracey was really friendly and helpfully, thank you

We had a booking on Saturday for 6:30pm. Hardly anyone in the pub, now we know why... My mum asked for the lamb rump dish but that was not available, so she had to have fish and chips. We wanted rib eye steak which they had however if you wanted sirloin they didn't have it but that's ok because we ordered what we originally wanted. However, they didn't have peppercorn sauce either... on a Saturday evening. The steaks came out and 1 was a sirloin steak, but they denied it, they clearly don't know steak because the size, shape, fat areas and texture was sirloin. So we paid for a rib eye and got sirloin. Which was over cooked as was my 'rib eye.' The bearnaise sauce we had to have as no peppercorn was vile... I mean it was a hollandaise with tarragon put in it. The fish and chips my mum had didn't seem fresh and the batter was THICK to the point where she couldn't eat it because it wasn't cooked. We know the manageress had been supporting in the kitchen due to chef issues, but clearly no one knows what they are doing there. You pay alot for an awful meal. There's no care from the manager, my mum even cut her lip on a chip in the wine glass and although the waitress asked for the drink to be free for us, there was no sign of apology from the manageress or any presence of her. As a manager myself, I'd of personally come over to my mum to ensure she wasn't hurt. Service from the staff were generally miserable especially the faces on them. Except for Tracy. She was hilarious and I'd love to see her again. Unfortunately we'd been here pre covid and loved it so came back on Saturday as a treat when visiting my mum. But we will not be returning again, so many more pub resturants across Devon to try, you need to up your game.

Bit surprised they didn’t accept walk in customers mid week for three people. Can’t comment on service or food as they couldn’t accommodate 3 of us on a Wednesday night in July!

My wife and I stayed at the St George and Dragon at Clyst St George and had a very enjoyable stay. The staff were very polite and friendly, Tracey really looked after us well. The food was very good as was the room. We have stayed there last year, this is our second visit and we will definitely stay there again.

Another enjoyable meal with friends at St George & Dragon. Food is good value and portions generous. Steak pie excellent, but accompanying veg could have been hotter. Friendly and attentive service from Tracy. Good not to feel rushed when you are catching up with old friends.

Went in for a quick bite to eat and Tracey was our waitress! Tracey made our whole experience wonderful with her fun but polite manor and fast service. The food was lovely and atmosphere was chill. Thank you so much will come again for sure !!

A lovely lunch with family and friends. Tracey looked after us exceptionally and the food was fab :)

Possibly the worst Pub in the Vintage Inn Chain! Really bad welcome, clearly don't have enough kitchen staff, run down, no attempt in beer garden to make it look welcoming. Shocking the difference in pubs in the Chain, clearly needs a new manager.

We had lunch with friends. Our food from the lunch set menu was really tasty and hot. There was plenty of choice and an a la carte menu was also available. Service was excellent and our server was very friendly. There was a nice chilled atmosphere with many different groups of people. We would choose to eat here again...

We were looked after Tracey this evening. She was super friendly and lovely with great service and great food. We normally come here for a Sunday roast and we will definitely be back for more!

The food was really good and Tracy was great and kept us very entertained.

Nice enough pub but I'm sure the portion sizes have gone down. Wife ordered mac cheese and got a thin layer in a tiny bowl and a huge salad. Similar situation with my lasagne.

Tracey was both pleasant and friendly, her service was next to none, a asset to your business.

A great overnight stay on route to St Ives. A lovely warm welcome, great food, comfy bed, clean room and a fantastic breakfast cooked to order. Would highly recommend.

We regularly go here for a meal. The food and service are excellent. They cater well dietary needs (gluten and dairy at least). Roasts are excellent but so is all their food we have tried. You can bring your dog into parts of the restaurant and they are welcomed warmly! They have some lovely large round tables which are great if you have a few of you. And also some more tucked away small tables if you want some quiet. You can stay here. We never have as we are local but it looks a lovely place to stay.

Food was lovely - very impressed with the comfy setting and nice furniture. Staff were really great - especially zoe. Many thanks!

Just had a meal at the George & Dragon , table pre booked & told them wife had a Pork allergy .Wife couldn't have a roast as they had run out of gravy , only option was vegan gravy (she already knew was tastless) . No extra gravy for children until we complained . Prawn cocktail came covered in paprika (no mention of paprikaon menu) with no bread as had come up in kitchen as glutin free ? Then bread straight out of fridge very cold . Next my son in law gets gluten free roast with tiny Yorkshire, smaller than children's . He is not gluten free . One thing after another . Reduced the bill but still over £100 . Not impressed at all . Paid at least £40 more than all was worth. Waitress was very good but embarrast . Won't be rushing back . Run out of gravy ???? 4 adults 2 children . We are local as well .

Staff came to take our order munching on carrot. I appreciate staff need to eat/take a break, but think this should be protected time, for the benefit of staff members, and customers. Staff seemed poorly informed about coeliac disease, and relevant menu choices. I wonder if staff are given appropriate training? My friends requested pints of Diet Pepsi, and I requested a half pint of soda and lime. My friends queried the size of the drinks when they arrived, , and we were told they were ‘large’, and ‘medium’, respectively. I appreciate this is a small detail, but this issue could have been avoided by informing us of the sizing when we ordered. My friend asked, politely, to speak to the person in charge, but no one materialised throughout our meal. My friends’ (Sunday roast) meals were cold when they arrived. This was addressed when staff were informed. We informed staff that we had asked to speak to the person in charge whilst we were settling the bill. Staff apologised, but did not offer to secure someone for us to give feedback in person. Consequently, this feedback is in a more public context. I appreciate that hospitality industry is short staffed, and appreciate staff turning up for work. It would presumably be better for staff and customers if appropriate education and training is given in respect of dietary requirements, drink sizes if the customer is unaware of the measures used in the particular establishment, the serving of food at appropriate temperatures, and protected break times for staff.

We decided to stop off for a late lunch/early dinner on arrival we were seated and served by Tracey, she was so welcoming and kind, throughout our meal Tracey checked on us and made sure we had everything we needed . Food came out quickly despite there being an issue with the ordering system. We had two steak sandwiches and a children's sausage meal, Tracey was so good with our 4 year old as well. This was our first time coming to the George and dragon and Tracey and the team did a very good job. Thank you to the kitchen team aswell for good grub :)

Had a lovely Sunday lunch today, the food was outstanding and the service was impeccable. A lady called Liz, the manager went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and was extremely polite and accommodating. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. Will definitely be returning.

Had a great experience. Food was great and Zoe was my server, she went above and beyond for me and Liz was on hand helping with any extra requirements. Couldn’t have asked for better. Definitely recommend!

I visited this pub for the first time recently and was warmly welcomed by the vivacious Tracey. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Great service. I will definitely return.

Nice place to go, waitress was very friendly and offered everything she could of, believe her name was Tracy, made up for the cloudy pint of tribute(which they rightly swapped immediately) and the majority of food was good....in my opinion the people sometimes make the experience and our waitress Tracy certainly did that

Lovely service, both Nicky and Tracie were both lovely.

Excellent pub, very quiet when we visited but that's the way I prefer it. Staff were super friendly and helpful, and attentive to allergies. Good pricing and delicious food, as well as ice cold beer. 100% would visit again, thank you!

Very friendly staff and superb Food. The best Roast Dinner i have ever had at a Pub. The Gravy is to die for. Looking forward to another visit to try something different on the menu

Food very poor/overpriced, curry and rice meal, rice soggy, chicken overcooked, manager not really bothered or concerned. Said she would let chef know.

Love the food, excellent quality and great value. Our waitress was Tracey polite and attentive, great service Tracey.

Really good service by Tracey. Despite a 1hr waiting delay due to Father's Day popularity, Tracey continually kept us updated and her friendly, chatty disposition was just right.

Could not fault the food or the service, Tracey, our waitress, couldn’t do enough for us..

Do you seriously expect customers who order at 12.00 midday (we were one of the first to arrive) to wait until 1.30 for the main courses to arrive? After waiting for 90 minutes our 5-year-old was losing the will to live - and so were the adults. We then waited another 40 minutes for our puddings at which point we told them to not bother and just send over the bill. We had the same experience a year ago and we stupidly gave them a second chance. We won't be going back. Thanks for ruining father's day! Management, get your act together and get enough staff in the kitchen to justify the £30 a head charge.

Great food, great atmosphere, and amazing staff, especially Tracey as she went above and beyond when we visited. Highly recommend!

My family and I went today for the first time and had a really great experience. Our server Tracey (with beautiful bright red hair) was absolutely lovely and nothing was too much. The food was delicious and the interior was clean and cosy. Would highly recommend 😊

Thank you for lovely food brilliant service a real pleasure. We will certainly come again soon

Came in with my partner for an evening meal. Lovely atmosphere and excellent food. Huge compliments to the chef Alex who cooked my sea bass to absolute perfection. Will be definitely coming back and will recommending to others.

Booked a table online yesterday for breakfast this morning. Liz and Lauren were very friendly and welcoming. Excellent service! Thank you to Kim for the fantastic breakfast, everything was cooked perfectly. I will without a doubt, be returning.

Always very welcoming with fantastic food

Very good pub really good atmosphere about it

Not the best visit. Upon arrival was told that the kitchen was closed so had to go elsewhere to eat. Decent selection of drinks and a few different beers. Nice beer garden. Room was ok. Window didn't seem to shut properly and had mouldy edges. PAT test on lamps in the rooms had expired. Due to the kitchen closure breakfast turned out to be the choice of toast, cereal or breakfast bars.

Went there today with my wife and in laws for my wife's birthday. Started having reservations when we pulled into the carpark which was nearly empty. As we walked in I noticed the poor state of the windows, not a good first impression. The service was ok but the food was pretty awful. My mother in law had the poorest excuse for a pizza, in fact it was dreadful. My father in law and I both had gammon steak, it was ok, peas were passable and chips were not the best. My wife had a steak sandwich with a bit of lettuce in it and she said it was ok. On the whole not a great experience, would I go back? no. The place should be buzzing, Darts farm 200 yards down the road which was heaving.

Very pleasantvandvreasonable prices.

We stayed for 2 nights while visiting the County show. Lovely large room, exceptionally clean and nicely decorated. We ate both nights in the restaurant, served by Tracey both nights, fantastic friendly member of staff and nothing was too much trouble, really good fun too. Great food, atmosphere and staff. Awesome breakfast the next morning also.

My husband and I went here for a meal on Thursday evening, we arrived at 7.45 and had to wait to be seated as the table was not cleared. We were not even asked if we would like a drink whilst we waited. On being seated at our table we had to wait 20 minutes for the waitress to come to take our order. She apologised and seemed friendly and took our order. Our dinner eventually came to us at 8.55pm by which time we were getting really annoyed. We ate our meals and decided that by that time it was too late to have a dessert and decided we would just have coffee. We sat and waited and waited and nobody came, then the manager dressed in jeans came around to clear tables. He cleared the table next to ours and then without even looking at us or speaking just picked up our empty plates and walked away. My husband and I were both gobsmacked. There was no “did you enjoy your meal “ or “can I get you anything else “. The service was absolutely shocking and we were very disappointed and actually disgusted at the service. We went to the bar to pay our bill as no one came back and even the young lad at the bar just took our money and he didn’t even ask if we enjoyed our meal or was everything ok. Do these people have no training any more on customer service. The only good thing was the food was very nice just a shame the service was shocking, we will not be going back or recommending to anyone else.

Had a lovely lunch here today with a good pint of Peroni, the lady Tracy, that looked after us today was a real pleasure, very cheerful and friendly as was the chef. Not often you find this today unfortunately. We’ll definitely be back 👏👏👏

Called in as passing. Nice atmosphere, great food and absolutely fantastic service by Tracey. She made us feel as though nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

We are a couple who have visited the pub many a time although the service hasn’t been that good.. Tracey who has been with the company for 5 weeks gives a warm and local feel to the place.. she really is wonderful. Please treat her good.. she’s a star.. 5 stars infact!

Down in Exmouth for the week with my wife and mother(from Manchester) and decided to go to St George and Dragon for my birthday meal. Had been here a couple of years ago and enjoyed it. Welcomed by Tracey who was a lovely lady who showed us to a table, very friendly and approachable. We all had a lovely meal and dessert. We enjoyed the polite banter and said we'd be back in the near future for a cream tea and jam fight (we disagreed wether jam or cream should be first). Looking forward to our return. Will send a hairband in the post if not back soon. 😂

The George and Dragon was a regular stop when my family lived in the area, so sadly a bit disappointed this evening when I went back. Smallish menu- sea bass previously frozen, so had smoked haddock fish cakes but a bit tasteless. Staff friendly enough

Very good food excellent service. Thank you 👍😊.

First time at the pub but was not disappointed. Fabulous cocktail, best steak I’ve eaten out in a long time, and excellent service by our waitress Tracey, who was bubbly and attentive. Look forward to returning soon :)

Good Service (Tracey was very helpful) and fantastic food

We stayed here for one night! Warm welcome by the friendly bar guy and manager. Room was spacious, clean and nice decor. We had dinner and were welcomed by waitress, Tracey - she was so lovely and attentive. Food was absolutely delicious!! We will definitely come again, thank you :-)

We visited George and dragon for a family birthday meal . We was greeted by lovely lady called Tracey . She was.very welcoming and friendly. Her service was excellent and we had good banter with her .

Great meal. Lasagne was so nice. And team very welcoming.

Good afternoon what a fabulous place this is we popped in for a meal after shopping .we were greeted and served by Tracey .what a credit to you .nothing was a problem very cheerful a and pleasant promptly taking our drink and food order popping over to ask if everything was satisfactory when our food arrived. The food was outstanding complements to the chef and team .not one fault with our visit

We had two lovely waitresses, one who unfortunately I didn’t catch her name and Tracey a fairly new lady was brilliant in helping us. With a wonderful personality. The Eaton mess in particular was incredible!! 🩷

What a great place. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Food was hot, well presented.

Had a week holiday in thls place and really enjoyed it To grate part by the helpfulness of the staff.

The ambiance of the G&D is excellent The food delicious and the service exceptional

Love the place . Great food and the atmosphere.

I’m presuming they were a little short staffed as we were sat and then left for about 10mins before our drinks order was taken. Having said that the service when we had it was attentive and nothing was too much trouble. The food was lovely, definitely recommend their pies and the Mac and cheese looked great

lovely place to eat and stay for the night

Visited for lunch with elderly parents. Greeted warmly by the team and looked after fantastically by Tracey throughout our visit. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and great food. Will definitely be returning soon.

Hi, A wonderful lunch today here.Served by very efficient Tracey who was an absolute delight!We will be back.See you soon

Wonderful Sunday roast, beautifully cooked fresh vegetables. Highly recommended.

Great food and excellent service. Thank you to all the kitchen, bar and, FOH staff and particularly Tracy.

Out 3rd visit for lunch. Great food & service. Highly recommended.

Delicious meal tonight and our Waitrose Tracey was just delightful and very attentive

Fantastic pub, great food and amazing service. Special mention to Tracey who could not have been more welcoming. A real ambassador for the St George and Dragon. Would highly recommend a visit...5 stars

Dropped in to this pub and was greeted by a warm cosy fire. The restaurant itself was full so was seat comfortably in the bar area. The Sirloin Beef Sunday roast was outstanding, cooked beautifully with the tastiest gravy and really fresh veg. Would recommend, you won’t be disappointed!

Food was lovely, just a little over priced

We had a lovely time, the staff were very helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food in the restaurant was excellent, we would certainly stay there again

Everything. Excellent menu choice, tasty food well presented. Good service very friendly helpful waitress

Lovely Good Friday lunch today. Served by Emily who was very helpful. We recommend the George and Dragon.

My wife and I had an amazing meal here this lunchtime. The sea bass fillets were beautiful. Will definitely be returning. Thank you

Very disappointed. Our booking was for 7.15pm but we were phoned and asked if we could move it to 6.15pm as the kitchen was closing at 7.30 due to emergency repair work. This was fine but then we saw a lot of food coming out of the kitchen at 8.15pm and the staff were tasting it having a training session. This made us think that the emergency repairs was not true. Also our food was disappointing. The calamari starter tasted like it was straight out of the freezer and it was way too salty. 2 of our party ordered due of lamb and asked for it to be cooked rare. They both came out very well done and the rumps had been cut into small pieces to cook quickly. I had the chicken curry which was tasty but the piece of chicken was really dry and hard to chew. It tasted like it had been microwaved. Despite the issues, the staff were nice and gave us 2 of the mains for free. I’ve had really good roast dinners in this pub before so I may come again but will be wary of ordering anything that is not freshly made.

Rooms net curtains in shreds ,beds comfortable clean towels

Food was good, we like the Sunday roast. Emily our waitress was just excellent. Definitely manager material, she has hospitality nailed especially given her age.

Pizza was good, the sauce didn’t get anywhere near the edges but the base was fantastic although there may be a pepperoni fascist in the kitchen, mine had only 6 pieces. Probably 3.5 stars overall based on the pizza. The reason for 5 stars - Honey Pot dessert. Wow! I’m having another one tonight. An edible honey pot with ganache and honeycomb, a scoop of honeycomb ice cream and a crunchy biscuit all drizzled with delicious bee-juice. What a triumph. Staff are lovely and jolly. We had a really good time there and will visit again when we’re next in the area.

Food was good but unfortunately woefully understaffed meaning we waited over an hour for our lunch and one had to be sent back because it was cold. Felt sorry for the staff who where lovely considering the pressure they were under.
