Description
The George and Dragon is a small pub, usually decorated with flowers, in an idyllic setting on a quiet lane. There is a large, grassy garden to the rear and Hall and Woodhouse beers are served from a small flag-stoned bar. The pub can be very popular for food at weekends. See also Recently Visited: The George and Dragon.
Rather strangely, there is a gravestone, of the albino son of a former innkeeper, in the front garden. The grave is in the church but the gravestone was removed by the vicar, apparently because of the inscription, so the parents put the memorial in their pub garden. More details on the pub website [see History].

We visited 16/08/2011 to find new ownership which unfortunately was not a positive. The food was mediocre and three tables occupied resulted in two complaints on food and one on drinks. Also, service was not focussed resulting in delays. Accepting the proprieters are 'running in' they must progress significantly to approach the previous efficiency and friendliness. Sadly, no longer somewhwere to rush back to ... sorry.
