It has a happy crowd of local office types and the City brigade unwinding after a hard day of doing-God-only-knows-what up in Town. There is a relaxed atmosphere: The style is all candles & uplights, varnished wooden bars & chairs and exposed brickwork. Special consideration should be given to the chalk boards in the loos; They are covered in philosophical bon-mots that work well when first pint of the day has hit your central nervous system square on!

Very nice hotel and pub. Super people. Local pub that is happy to have Yanks in for a visit.read more

Visiting the nearby Ightham Mote for my birthday, I was looking for somewhere special for lunch and…read moreThe George and Dragon popped up on my radar being Michelin recommended. The menu, pictures (and Yelp reviews!) looked great so I booked on-line for the 2.30 lunch slot giving us plenty of time to enjoy our morning. Unfortunately, we were ten minutes late due to traffic, and when we arrived we were told that we would have to order quickly as the kitchen shuts at three. We were rapidly seated and lingered over while we perused the menu. We started with a glass of Prosecco each and I hastily went for the pork belly and my partner went for the celeriac risotto. We didn't order starters, and I didn't really get chance to have a proper look at this part of the menu. While the children's menu is substantial, it is definitely aimed at the older ones and there wasn't really anything suitable for my 15 month old. This wasn't a problem as we knew he could share ours, plus we had brought reserves! The food came quickly and was very tasty, I couldn't fault either dish but before I had even finished mine, the waitress came round with dessert menus saying that we would have to order straight away if we wanted one. I think this is the first time that I have been made to order dessert before I have finished my main! My rhubarb and ginger cake was good but my partner was a little disappointed with his cheesecake. We ordered tea and coffee to finish and were finally able to relax. Although I can't complain about the food or the friendliness of the staff, the fact that we were rushed so much from the minute we walked in put a dampener on the experience for me. If you are not prepared to serve dinner in an unhurried fashion, don't take a booking at that time. Yes, we were 10 minutes late which was entirely our fault, but we could have also ordered starters delaying the whole process even further.

Helen (the English landlady) is excellent at what she does. Her Greek husband, Michael, prepares really good food. On Thursday nights they always have fresh fish, and the haddock and chips is consistently good and among the best I have ever eaten. It's best to phone for a table reservation on Thursday, Friday or Saturday evenings and/or for Sunday lunch.

Meats come overcooked, veg are thoroughly average, and desserts would not shame Aunt Bessie or Sara Lee. If a steak costs £15 it really should come cooked as ordered. The consolation prize was the wine, which was a fine Pinot Noir, and almost not ordered after we'd read the menu description of it as "trendy". The management here really should be ashamed of the quality of their food, even though the otherwise helpful waiter offered the comment, on being shown our uneaten revolting "individual" mass produced lemon meringue pie (£5), "I blame the chef".
