The Secret Garden at The Green Dragon is a haven of tranquility and a little hideaway for a few drinks and a meal. What truly sets this garden apart is its attention to detail. Every corner is meticulously crafted, with cozy seating areas, quaint pathways, and charming decorations that add an extra touch of charm. It's evident that the owners have poured their heart and soul into creating a space that radiates warmth and relaxation. The menu at The Green Dragon is a delightful fusion of traditional pub fare and garden-inspired dishes. I indulged in their mouthwatering roasted platter, bursting with flavor and complemented perfectly by the freshness of the accompanying mixed green salad topped off with a few ales The service at The Green Dragon Pub is exemplary, and the staff's genuine enthusiasm for their work is infectious. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt welcome and attended to all my needs promptly. Their knowledge of the menu, coupled with their friendly demeanor, added to the overall exceptional dining experience. The ambiance was great with lots Of groove funky lighting.

"My husband I decided to treat ourselves to a saturday night meal at this lovely local hotel restaurant.We did pre book rather than just leave it to chance,which was probably wise as when we arrived there was a wedding party next door.On arrival we were shown to the restaurant decided to have a drink first in the adjacent bar as we were early for our 6.30pm reservation.The barman was very friendly helpful. A gentleman who we presume was in charge of the restaurant then appeared said he was showing us to the table,before walking off (no offer to carry the drinks or check if we were following him).The wedding had obviously put them under pressure as less than half the tables were set for dinner (the remainder already laid out for breakfast).We were given menus then very quickly expected to place our order.The whole evening felt as if we were being rushed through there was a distinct froideur in the atmosphere,with our gentleman serving us being quite curt aloof.On a positive note the food was absolutely delicious there was an excellent choice of reasonably priced wine (for a hotel).Purely on a personal level,I also strongly disagree with restaurants who automatically put a 10% service charge on the bill not because I wouldn't normally tip,but I feel the customer should decide.As we left the restaurant,the gentleman who had served us was at the desk,but didn't even look up nor wish us Good evening,which was disappointing. We would go back again,but hope next time it will be a warmer welcome"
