George and Dragon

Outstanding English pub with great food and an amazing staff!

Fantastic old rural pub with friendly and helpful staff. Stopped by for a spot of lunch. We ordered the club baguette chicken blt. All i can say is wow ! It was huge and very very tasty and complemented with some excellent crispy chips. I will most certainly be back. Highly recommended!

Fantastic country pub with a range of ales and homemade food.

Our favourite village pub. Staff are friendly and welcoming. It is cosy and the real fires give a lovely atmosphere. It’s always buzzing whenever you go and it is well supported by locals. Wide range of drinks and food and the “steakwich” yesterday was divine. Thank you all

Great food Great service Great place. The rare hat trick!

Called in after a walk on Friday evening. The pub was full before 7pm. A great atmosphere and a good selection of real ales served here. I also hear the pizzas are pretty good. It’s great to see a pub doing well.

We had a delightful evening at the George. We felt so welcomed and looked after as soon as we arrived. The food was superb - simply presented but well above expectations for a pub meal. Lots of guest ales, and the one I had was excellent. Highly recommended.

Everything you would expect from a English country pub loved it, great beer garden out front and back, plenty of tables. We had the beef Sunday roast which was delicious. Our waitress Ellie was probably one of the best waitresses I've had, smily welcoming and attentive. The pub have done well with the new restrictions in place and followed all the guidelines. Highly recommend a stop here if you're in the area.

Nice little country pub, good food, good service and some nice beer

Excellent service. Staff speak Greek, Polish, English and French. Great food and great beer! Picturesque view. Horses and other animals passing by often. Lovely tiny pub dog... Never heard it bark. Great atmosphere. Live bands, and even plays.

First time we have been firstly we were given 3 warm welcome s 2 lovely open log fires and a very warm welcome by a lovely French waitress she is a star looked after us so well and as for the food we all agreed it was best lunch we have ever had we will definitely be back again soon we'll done to you all at the George Inn Vernham Dean

The George Inn at Vernham is a fantastic country pub. We are not locals but were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff when we visited for dinner with our dog. The food was very tasty, I had the homemade burger which was chunky & Juicy. My wife had the lamb shank which was a very generous portion, succulent & piping hot. If you go for dessert go for the Crumble it was so good, packed full of Blackberries & Apple with a generous topping. If we are in the area again we will certainly visit the George Inn I encourage you to do the same

Super friendly and helpful staff with some great pub food! Particularly recommend their wood fire traditional pizzas, which are simply a delight and wonderful compliment to the simply and well done pub menu. There are some great walks around, and the George Inn is a great spot for half way stop or for a hearty dinner at the end of the day.

Excellent service, steak, food and drink. Lovely setting. Can’t recommend more highly.

Stopped in for lunch after finding it in Google maps. Pub is in a nice country setting with plenty of parking. There are picnic benches out the front but also a nice beer garden out the back. They had a good ale selection as well as the usual lagers. Food wise I can’t recommend it enough. It’s reasonably priced, big portions and really tasty. Staff are all really friendly and it welcomes dogs. Highly recommended and we’ll definitely be coming back.

It always seems to be sunny when we get here! A gorgeous country pub that really cares about providing good food in a relaxing environment. The staff are great, the building is charming and the food is hearty and satisfying. It's the only place I order a ploughmans lunch as elsewhere they are disappointing by comparison. Oh and Tilly the lab/retriever is lovely.

Absolutely fantastic! There was 4 of us and food was lovely, we had 2 burgers with homemade chips, 1 lamb shank and 1 scampi and homemade chips! Food was outstanding and so tasty!Would recommend this to anyone and everyone! For dessert 2 of us shared the chocolate brownie with salted caramel ice cream and chocolate sauce! OMG this was the best, delicious!

Beautiful pub and lovely staff. So hard to get a veggie and gluten free Sunday roast, but not disappointed here! Totally recommend. Dog was happy too. Thank you!

Brilliant pub, full of people and atmosphere at 3pm on a Saturday just how a pub should be! Great service and the landlord handed out some complimentary cheese!

Very nice pub. Food was delicious and locally sourced. Staff were lovely.

Great pub. The food was delicious. The beer was lovely and the staff very friendly. Highly recommend

A truly wonderful little gem in the countryside. Multiple fires, dog friendly and wonderfully staff. Thank you. Will be back soon.

Absolute gem. We took our friends from Poland for dinner there, they were amazed by the interior, the food and the atmosphere. We will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

We returned to this traditional English pub for our anniversary, having met there 8 years prior. Great food and plenty of customers for a mid-week lunch is a nod to the landlord, who was super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back for our next anniversary, if not before!

Trip out for lunch with friends. An excellent country pub with log fires, very friendly and attentive staff with good food and well kept beers. Bowman Swift One and Flacks Double Drop ales were in great condition and very enjoyable. We all chose vegetarian meals that were really well cooked and very tasty all at a reasonable price. Compliments to the chef. Would definitely recommend The George.

Dec 24: Update! My previous experience was so positive that I organised a post Xmas get together with family -- nineteen of us were accommodated in a cosy section of the pub, complete with roaring log burner. Food was excellent, service with a smile and good value. Thank you to the team, we'll find an excuse to visit again! Oct 24: Simply too good! Accommodated some motorcyclists without having a reservation. Lovely place, courteous and attentive service, prompt turnaround of food and excellent quality with reasonable prices.

Loved this place. The staff are so friendly, food is great. Nothing is too much trouble. The villagers are so lucky to have this pub!

The best roast I have eaten in a long time! We had one beef and one chicken roast and the previous week I had the lamb, all of which were outstanding. The food came within 10 minutes of ordering as it was a Sunday one assumes the roasts just need plating. It was hot with plenty of veg variety. All the staff are so friendly and attentive, all in all its a great village pub.

The George Inn is a fairytale come to life! This pub embodies everything you imagine from books and stories. The ambience is nothing short of magical, with open fireplaces adding a cosy, welcoming touch. The staff are exceptional, providing friendly and attentive service that makes you feel right at home. To top it all off, there was a fantastic live band playing in the evening, creating the perfect atmosphere. Even the presence of a friendly dog wandering around added to the charm. An absolutely amazing experience – a must-visit! Five stars all the way!

I can’t recommend this pub highly enough. We ordered in advance for a large group and the staff looked after us so well. Pizzas were delicious, garden is lovely, atmosphere is really homely. Thank you George Inn!

Great ambience - Log fires burning - welcoming friendly staff - old building with lots of character. Great table for family meal - 4 Adults + a 10yr old and a 5yr old who were very pleased with child menu food + the colouring while we chatted! all food good and excellent Steak & Ale Pie from the specials board. Great choice of beers.... in all, if its a character English Country Pub you are looking for that has everything this winter - this is it. Well Done The George and Thank You - we will be back

Excellent meal and nice pint of Abbot. Recommend the steak and desserts. Very quiet on a Monday night.

Spent a lovely few hours with family for a birthday meal. The venue and staff were extremely welcoming and everyone's food was excellent BUT be warned - if you plan to have the pie take a pick-axe because an ordinary knife won't work!!

Great pub location. The staff very welcomeing and happy. Good choice of beers. It is a old pub so has good atmosphere. Didn't have any food...but what I saw it looked good. Also at the time it had live music which was very good and had a great afternoon stay. Will be visiting again

Four old friends, we shared a happy lunch here last Saturday. We sat comfortably inside in the window, well looked after, and each enjoyed our choice, including whitebait and meatballs with spaghetti. It was all excellent.

Went for a Christmas meal with friends. The George is a rusket country pub as you'd imagine with plenty of community atmosphere. Everyone seemend to know each other, lots of laughter and a very friendly vibe. The food was very good quality at a fair price. They do offer table service and are happy to take bookings. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area if you want a genuinely happy evening and good food.

Saturday 24th January- family meal Had the pie of the day which was venison a well filled pie as it should be. The George burger was also delicious with two meaty Patties. Excellent selection of beer on tap, And a very warm cozy atmosphere with open fires. This is all a country pub should be and more.

Quaint dog friendly pub handy for walks. Very good Sunday roasts.

Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was nice. Food was nicely presented by the pork was very dry and the salad was basic raw white cabbage (and tasteless). All in all I'm not sure I would return

The George Inn is a lovely pub with great staff and delicious food. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the quality of the food is reflected in the price. It is a great autumn/winter pub (I imagine it's a glorious spring/summer pub, but I just love the fires). We visited on Sunday 10th Nov 24 to celebrate my dad's birthday, it was also Remembrance Sunday. As you can imagine Sunday lunch is popular, so book in advance. Please please please take note of one thing that the pub and team itself do not have direct control of - the clientele. Particularly the apparent military locals, who of course have significantly higher standing than anyone else in society. I recommend the pub fully, just proceed with caution if you are noise sensitive or have an aversion to arrogant individuals that believe only their experience matters. They suggested they are military and Remembrance Sunday is for them and no one else. Frankly, their inability to manage their children's behaviour and volume ruined the experience. They wanted to make sure they knew we are local, with that in mind, if you happen to be there when Captain Arrogant and co are there, make sure you are seated nowhere near them, they are entirely anti-social.
