However, my mother and I have wanted to like the food over and over again and feel there is a lack of understanding of food. It's cooked nicely but without the sort of understanding we hope to expect in places like this. But I am a vegetarian and so this amy well explain things. They can make something veggie for you but it will not overwhelm you. I prefer the more ordinary bar food. They have very nice rooms and packages. Many people come from London and far away places to come here. I believe they have a website. The Qype map is not accurate, so please check.

With stunning…read moreviews of greenery all around, I could almost hear the soundtrack of the Sound of Music as I scanned my eyes over the fields. The interior was intimate, cozy yet elegant, and made me feel like I was having dinner at someone's vacation home vs a restaurant that's been awarded a Michelin star. I apologize in advance in case the chance to eat the same dishes I've had will be slim to none as I gather the menu changes daily. That said, allow me to rave about some of the new bests I've had starting with the STEAK TARTARE that was so delightfully refreshing. I loved the hint of sweet mustard while the crispy oyster on the side was such a pleasant pairing. The LAMB SHOULDER was a-maaaaazing - harissa spiced and grilled to a perfect char until tender and bloody good. Served with yogurt, flatbread, and smoked cod's roe - just fab! Beautifully pink, the PORK LOIN was another winner featuring melt-in-your-mouth-delicious-meat with the rhubarb sauce sealing the deal so gloriously. There is everyone's least favorite dish which is the PIGEON, not because of how it was prepared but more on meat preference. We also had the CHILLED LOVAGE SOUP with Cornish Crab, MUSSELS w/ SMOKED PANCETTA, and PRAWN TORTELLINI - all we so very much enjoyed. I could still remember the taste of every single one of them in my mouth including the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE for dessert. Offering a pre-fixe menu as well as an a la carte menu, Pony & Trap is sure to please any food lover without breaking the bank. With a stellar service to boot, it paved the way for such a memorable evening with plenty of stories, laughter, and tears of joy shared over a fantastic spread. Easily one of my highlights on this holiday. Review #800

Another fantastic experience had at the Pony & Trap…read more I've been to the Pony & Trap a number of times. Once in a large group with friends and a number of times in a smaller group with family. Whether it's a classic Sunday roast, a cheeky weekday lunch or evening dinner it never fails to impress, it hasn't got a Michelin Star for nothing! This visit was for an early Sunday lunch with my wife and grandad as a birthday present for Grandpappy. I'd booked a while back and specifically asked for a table with good light as grandpappy's eyesight isn't quite what it use to be. The guys at the Pony & Trap were more than accommodating and gave us the best table in the house, in front of the large window at the back of the restaurant overlooking Chew Vally, it's quite a view. I usually go for the beef for the P&T Sunday roast but based on the steak meal I'd eaten the night before I thought I'd branch out and try the pork for a change, I wasn't disappointed! The pork came complete with crackling, homemade apple sauce, parsnip purée, AMAZING roasters and a selection of veg that's without a doubt some of the best I've ever had accompanying the Sunday meat! My personal fav was the roast beetroot. The pork didn't come with a Yorkshire but I had a quiet word with our waitress and she arranged for me to have one anyway. Smashing service as always. Alice and Grandpappy went for the beef and as expected the medium rare slab of prime ashdale beef was first class (I managed to pinch a taster from Alice!). It's also worth mentioning the homemade horseradish that accompanied the beef. I sometimes find that you should stick to the stuff that comes out of a pot but this stuff was amazing. It tasted so fresh and a proper nose tingler! I can't speak highly enough of the Pony & Trap. Considering the high quality of ingredients (a summary of which is included on the back of the menu, so you can see where they were sourced from), the first class service and it's shiny Michelin Star it's actually not quite as heavy on the wallet as you might expect. Highly recommended for a special occasion if you fancy venturing out of town. I can also recommend a walk round Chew Valley Lake or Folly Farm Nature Reserve after your meal to burn off your roast on a Sunday. Both are a couple of minutes drive from the pub.

Room 4 has a large bathroom and a reasonably sized bedroom with a four poster bed. The style is very traditional and comfortable. Room 4 also includes it's own small lounge with bed setee and TV. Room 3 is more modern in finish and includes a large bathroom and a large bedroom which has a modern four poster bed (that creaks a lot when you turn over!) and a bed setee. Both rooms were clean and well finished but room 4 felt that style had triumped over function to some extent. The inn has a large car park (very necessary as it gets busy) and a slightly tired children's play area. Children are welcome in selected parts of the pub. One unusual feature is a sit on diesel train they run in the garden. I would have given 5 stars but for the slight disappointment with Room 3 and also because whilst we were there they had a leak in the family room but instead of closing that section they just put a bucket there and expected people to put up with the smell of damp carpets (until a member of staff responded to our comments and found us somewhere elses to go). Overall though, highly recommended.

I can imagine that if you want a quick hit of all that is great about England before you jet of somewhere, of if while away on another sunny shore you have dreamt of that first roast dinner upon your return to England then this is certainly one of the best places to come. A beautiful building with wonderful customer service and fantastic freshley cooked local food. Places like this don't need to advertise as word of mouth pretty much does it all for them, and all I hear is good things, which is why I paid them a visit, and they certainly did not dissapoint.

Due to this location and coupled with the fact that it serves a full menu throughout the day, the George & Dragon is ideally situated for the departing or arriving traveller, and indeed is largely filled with that most unusual of clientelle. The food here is pretty good and all meals are freshly cooked to order. Knowing it's punters are usually people waiting for a plane, the restaurant is open all day so those awkward departure or delayed arrivals are not a problem, as you can arrange your meal around your itinerary. The pub does have it's fair share of regualrs from the village though, and as a result has a decent selection of ales, lagers and beers on tap. Not really worth a special trip, but definitely one to look our for if your near the airport.
