The St George And Dragon in East Devon

Great food service and fabulous atmosphere thankyou so much

we had such a wonderful xmas eve dinner here!!! Zoe was super friendly and helpful, and they were so accommodating and kind. thankyou all, it was so lovely! :)

Back in July ordered 2 burgers and drinks after 2 hours got our money back as we still hadn’t received them after asking where our food was twice. Thought I would give them a second chance and booked a table for 5 on 22nd December again the service was snail pace which is shocking considering the pup was virtually empty and the food wasn’t worth the wait, in the end we cancelled desserts, as i think Santa was going to arrive first 3 days later.

Food was fine, service was missing, and it's definitely NOT a place I would ever take a business client to again. It was really the small things that made the difference - or not! First of all - I was taking a client out to lunch, so I wanted them to have the best experience. They chose your xmas menu (turkey) and requested cranberry sauce (twice). It didn't arrive. Client said how much she loves it and that it would have made all the difference - but by then she was 1/2 way through, and although I was going to ask again, she said "don't bother". The next thing that happened was the after dinner coffees. Amazingly mine turned up - without a teaspoon. The waitress disappeared off before we could request one - and by the time she had returned with my client's coffee - I was stirring my own coffee with the handle of a fork!!!! It was very obvious. She didn't offer a spoon, just put the other coffee down and went off. Fortunately my client doesn't take sweeteners/sugar so she didnt' need a spoon/fork or I'd have gone in search for the waitress. It just wasn't great. And my client even pointed out that the Pub could do with some customer service training. (At no point did any waitress come back to check on food at any time, or we'd have said again about the cranberry sauce, and teaspoons).

Wonderful pub with large roast portions. service was polite and food was timely, can't fault it, thank you st George and the dragon!!

We turned up for a quiet coffee, and I was assured we could have drinks so my wife parked the car. After several minutes trying to order using our mobile phones we went to the bar, but couldn't get any service there either. We left, disappointed, and still thirsty.

Food was great and came out to the table super fast . Friendly staff to

Brilliant pub with a festive vibe! The christmas decorations were beautiful, and the festive menu was packed with delicious options. Great food, warm atmosphere, and friendly service. Highly recommend for the season!

Pub wasn't too busy so not long to wait for drinks and food. Food was excellent again - piping hot and plenty of it.

Don’t order the Venison Pie! Fish & Chips were good as was the prawn cocktail.

The evening staff are lovely. They engage and look at you whilst serving. The housekeeping is very good, and the room I was in was extremely quiet. I did find the bathroom small. The breakfast staff are on another level again always happy to interact with customers. I did find the bar a little short on a variety of beer. The Guinness was well served

Visiting from Birmingham, Fab place to stay top notch food, service, staff were amazing. Thnx guys def reccomend

Very cosy feel, welcoming and friendly staff. Great food and drink, definitely recommend for a warming evening meal.

3 of us had a meal on Saturday 23rd November, hunters chicken, buttermilk burger and Monterey Jack cheese and lamb shank we enjoyed our lovely meal, our waitress was called Ellie who asked if we would like dessert, first we said no then quickly asked for 2 glasses of different wine, a pint, double espresso, Americano and a small dessert , we thought wow as she didn’t write any of it down and was spot on with the order, an amazing waitress. Thank you.

Great food, great service all at a great price in a really nice pub. Highly recommended.

We had such a lovely meal this evening to celebrate my Dad's 80th and Daughters 22nd Birthdays. The food and service was excellent. They allowed us to take our own Birthday cake. We would highly recommend a visit even if you pop in for a coffee or a pint. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Ordered soup and Halloumi fries. Portion size small. Told staff we were looking for light bite but the portion size (half a dessert bowl)would have made a tasty starter but not a stand alone serving. Also fire place was cleaned out right beside where we were sitting. 😕

Really disappointed with our visit to George and Dragon. Poorly informed staff about intolerances, poor information to show guests. To top it off the food wasn't very good.

Absolutely lovely. The food was delicious 😋 and the service by t he little Whirlwind waitress was excellent. Would certainly recommend eating here . My two younger sisters and I really enjoyed our time together there.

Ordered a steak when it came it was stone cold. Had a replacement which was hot

Our wonderful waitress Darcy was attentive and the food was lovely. Excellent atmosphere definatley coming again!

Very busy, lovely food and very friendly service

Great old vintage pub. First class food, worth a little detour, if you and yours are in Devon / Exeter area, have rooms also. Beef brisket sandwich top.

The food was lovely, loads of vegetarian options too. The staff were really kind and friendly and the atmosphere was nice. The cauliflower cheese was really dry though, but we mentioned that and they gave us an extra cheesy one and took it out of our bill.

We have stayed in this hotel and had an evening meal. Firstly the room, very nice and spacious with a very comfortable bed. I slept like a baby. The only constructive criticism I would have is to replace the seal in the shower or clean it deeply. And the meal was amazing. Delicious and presented well. As a vegetarian I ordered camembert fritters and they were crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Very nicely spiced. And for the main I had an aubergine gratin and it was to die for. Really yummy. The only feedback I would have is my watercress with fritters didn't look fresh and it wasn't vital to the meal. I would just serve it without. My husband had sticky chicken for a starter and burger for main and he was happy with everything. But to be honest for the price we paid it was a great meal. And the menu states calories for each dish, which I thought it was amazing.

They are having some work done but you wouldn't know from the inside, good food, efficient service.

Lovely atmosphere. The staff as well as are Waitress Nicky was very nice and kind. had a lovely meal too. The signature burger I would definitely recommend.

Lovely cosy restaurant, great food and service, would highly recommend, easy parking and comfortable rooms,had a great stay.

Was so wonderful, everyone was so polite and helped my grandmother as she is disabled

“Perfect Sunday roast! The beef was tender and full of flavor, the roast potatoes crispy, and the Yorkshire puddings were just right. The gravy was rich and delicious, pulling everything together. Great portions and friendly service. Highly recommend!”

Great atmosphere, staff were kind and helpful the service and food was brilliant definitely would go again.

Went in for Sunday lunch. It was easy to park in their carpark. Great roast Sunday lunch the food was great. Dog friendly.

Lovely food at not a bad price. Steak was cooked lovely. Raspberry lemonade was amazing !!

Went there this evening had a lovely 3 course meal and had a lovely waitress called Ellie and a lovely barman,

Fabulous home cooked food House special pie fabulous reasonable prices nice atmosphere 👌

Our 1st visit to this really nice country pub with 24 rooms available for short stays. Lovely food and a very nice fires on the go. Good range of food and ours was from the bar snacks menu and was excellent and filled a hole. This is for us ideally situated being just off the M5 by Exeter and a great place for a stop and some proper food.

I just dropped someone there for a wake.

Recently visited, delicious food served on time very good service, pleasant relaxed atmosphere will definitely return

Overall very Friendly and welcoming. Downside classic Uk food servings, as in small and in ramekin/ dishes on plates to ‘pad’ things out, and little substance to the lasagna which was mainly sauce. Breakfast disappointing, as extras like toast and porridge all over and above the cooked breakfast allowance on a three figure B&B package for the night, which seemed a bit mean IMV, but I suspect a growing UK trend.

I would highly recommend the new menu! Great value for money and really good food! 3 courses for £30 is such good value, staff are amazing, friendly amd helpful

Food wasn’t to standard and service was awful we got our food, finished our food, sat for over 30mins waiting for server to come back and clear table and ask for desserts or drinks and nothing after 45 mins we went to the bar and paid and left

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.

Visited this evening with my partner and grandson has a lovely roast dinner thank you to Beth for the service will be back

Terrible experience. 30 minutes between first starter and 3rd starter arriving. Main meal no better. Obviously having kitchen problems but no one even tried to explain this to us. Food was cold and just chucked on the plate. Will not be returning.

Portions were small and a couple of meals were dried out

Arrived and was welcomed by a friendly smiling member of staff. Placed looked busy but was seated straight away. Lady serving us was friendly and very helpful. Good came out quick and was piping hot. Delicious roast dinner the lamb rump was very good and so was our roast trio. Generous portion sizes Would highly recommend to friends and family ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great food, wonderful time, definitely coming back soon.

Had the roast lamb, tasted amazing, staff was friendly would recommend.

Good sunday service very busy when we arrived but food didn’t take too long to arrive and was delicious very moist meat and great roast potatoes Will be back again in a few weeks already looking at bringing friends with us

Cracking Sunday Lunch in cosy country pub, lovely open fire as you walk in and dogs welcome, staff attentive and nothing too much trouble

Visited this evening with some friends, service and food fantastic as always lovely cosy atmosphere, busy but staff coped well

A0bsolutely awful. Poor service, food even worse. Cold vegetables & presentation disgusting. I would be very surprised if a qualified chef was 3ven in the building

Lovely brunch with my partner and our children this morning, much cheaper than other local places and a lot more welcoming! Visited for lunch without the kids and just as good as last time we came !

Excellent service ,top class food very comfortable room.

My partner and I booked three nights at the George , planning to go and see some friends. Unfortunately the car we were driving it's clutch burnt out and we had to cancel the whole trip. We had been recommended we stay at the George, and after the problem with the car we had to abandon the trip and get the AA to tow is all the way back home to West Sussex, a journey that took us twelve hours. We immediately contacted the George and they told us we had to phone the bookings, which we did, hoping to get some sympathetic response. Instead we just had a rude reply, telling us there was nothing they could do as we had booked a particular price and there was nothing they would do. I am astonished at this response, particularly because a) we had been recommended staying there, and B) the circumstances were none of our making When we finally attempt a return we will DEFINITELY not be booking again at the George. The company on the phone were completely uncaring, and as a result we have lost £200. If either of us had died whilst we were there I assume the response would have been the same . I will tell the people who had recommended the George to us and suggest they change their minds in future.

Lovely pub and restaurant near darts farm shop Sunday roast and more

Amazing staff! I came here with my partner for food for the first time. Staff were amazing the food was lovley. The atmosphere is very welcoming and always greeted with a smile. Such amazing staff and very helpful.

Had a lovely meal and mocktails here. Dylan was a great member of staff, he was friendly and made sure we had everything we wanted. When we sat out side he made sure the heaters were on. Susperstar. The food was lovely and a nice calm atmosphere. X x

Good pub food, very nice to find a dog friendly place in Devon! I would recommend this over the Dart cafe (next door) which is not very accommodating to dogs, or people! Tasty pub food, service is good - one down side to ordering at the bar for all the food and drinks. But staff all seemed friendly and attentive. Thank you for the kind dog treats and water!

Booking: The initial booking went well, but amendments to the booking were ignored. On the morning of the visit I tried to amend the booking. I completed the online form which brought no response. I phoned the number on the website and was put through to the pub, but no one answered. I left a voicemail but no one returned my call. Despite having specified a dog friendly table on the initial booking I received a text on the morning of my visit asking if we were taking a dog. I was unable to respond (see above). Service: Clearly my messages had not got through to the person allocated to seat us. I explained the difficulties I had experienced but received no apology. We were left standing around until a table was finally found for us. We ordered drinks but I had to chase them up at the bar having waited for about half an hour. We were told that there was no draught ale as it was 'settling'. Having run a pub in the past, I know that this can only be due to poor management. Food: The food was acceptable. Not a great birthday lunch.

In its entirety, this zwas a shocking experience! Extremely in-experienced Staff who didn’t know what that were doing. Terrible service, really awful food. Unacceptable attitude by management or what posed as management! What made the whole shambolic experience worse, was that they blamed all the problems on us as the paying guests complaining! Absolutely dire! I will never again stay at one of these establishments!

It was not a good visit. Several of the dishes on the menu were unavailable. Our table was sticky. The waitress was overly-familiar. One of the young male waiters looked terrified every time we asked him a question, as though he didn't know what he was doing. Our desserts did not automatically come with cutlery - we had to ask for it. The waitress could not personally recommend any of the desserts because she hadn't tried them. However it was easy to book online, and the food was quite tasty. The chocolate brownie was very nice.

What a nice gem of a place this is. Nice and quiet area. The room is very spacious for what I require. Beautifully decorated . Service was good and I went for the lasagna, I could definitely eat that again . Finally the staff were extremely welcoming and even showed me to my room . I will definitely stay here again.

Lovely country pub, beautiful surroundings.

Very slow service the food came out before the drinks, very bad organisation, no communication real Shame

Wonderful pub lunch. I had gammon and chips with peas. Tracey our waitress was great. 5 slightly eccentric people around the table and she coped admirably. Very cheerful and chatty despite our oddball humour and taking forever for some of our party to decide. Can't speak highly enough of the service or the food. Would recommend highly

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.

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

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

Could do with new carpets but food was good

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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 😒

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.

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

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 !!

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.

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...

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

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!

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.
