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.

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.

We opted for the 2 course Sunday roast dinner (2 courses for £16.95) - we both chose roast beef which came with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, plenty of vegetables and delicious roast beef gravy.

This is a great option if you are near Bristol Airport and need something to eat.

This pub/resteraunt advertises itself mostley to people going to and from the airport. 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.

The menu is excellent and packed with mouthwatering dishes (as well as 3 or 4 daily specials) and the surroundings are lovely. There is a daily fixed price lunch menu with 2 courses for £15.95 and 3 courses for £19.95. Despite its pedigree it's not starchy or stuffy. Gull eggs are in season so we had that and an Omelette Arnold Bennett to start and the steak & ale pie and Pierre Koffman venison for mains with a couple of side dishes each. For dessert I had the raspberry souffle which just heaven on a plate - if you go make sure you leave room for this signature dessert!

Having eaten here a couple of years ago and reported on good food but disorganised service, I…read morereturned recently for lunch and had a wonderful meal. The restaurant is in the middle of nowhere and you almost rush past it on a nondescript piece of road just north of Highclere Castle, but turning into its ample parking areas, the smart cars there seem to have simply driven a few miles from the Peat Spade, another great inn. This time it wasn't full and the service was far better, but the food and drink weren't just good but exceptional, and extremely reasonable to boot. We started with a glass of house white a Chilean Sauvignon Blanc which was delicious and some very good bread and unsalted butter. I had the mussels and clams in a white wine broth which come daily up from Cornwall, and I can declare that they were the best I have ever tasted. The mussels were so fat and full that the dish could have made a meal on its own, while the clams, as ever, added a subtly the taste of the sea. The onion-rich broth was perfect and almost got finished! We then had the fish and chips, which came perfectly presented and was exceptionally delicious. One could perhaps quibble that twice or thrice cooked chips would have been even better, but these were crispy outside and fluffy inside, with a small dish of mushy peas to underline the fact that the dish was supposed to be authentic and not ersatz Belgian. Liver and bacon was pink and perfect, and could hardly have been bettered. A lemon posset followed, which was a good way of cleansing the palate after such a fine meal. I can't recommend The Yew Tree highly enough for lunch, especially with a bill (without service) of only £42 for two. There is wi-fi in the bar.
