George And Dragon - Carte

Stopped for a quick pint as we were camping nearby, friendly welcome and water for the dogs.

We were staying in Grasmere but had dinner there which was fabulous. I can’t wait to go back yum yum yum!

Advertised as ‘Food from 1pm 8pm’. Arrived at 7.40pm to be told the kitchen closed at 7.30pm. Very annoying as it’s the only place to eat in the village. Voir le carte

Fantastic rooms, great breakfast. Was just a little disappointed with evening meal. I feel a bit like a food critic on Masterchef but the lamb dish just lack a Jus to bring the dish together (somewhat lacking a sauce), and the lamb rump was a little tough. A shame as clearly a great reputation and venue.

I first went to the George and Dragon when very first open with the owner’s mother. It was good then but it now is quite superb. The attention to detail knows no bounds, lovely smiling staff who are very helpful. I was so comfortable and even asked if I could buy one of their pillows as so perfect. A very family atmosphere without it being overdone. Breakfast was delicious and I was sad to leave to go north. I could not recommend more highly. Good luck.

The food is really good definitely worth coming for and the rooms were very nice and well laid out. There is a good amount of parking spaces. However, on arrival (after travelling for over four hours) the lady who greeted us was abrupt, verging on grumpy. We were an hour or two early before we were meant to check in but she did act a bit like how dare we arrive at that time and that did affect the whole experience for us. In other words, the opposite of a warm welcome. Voir le carte

The George and the Dragon first came to my attention when I read a review by, food critic, Grace Dent in the Guardian newspaper. It was a glowing review and the author couldn’t wait to return. I share her sentiments completely. The hotel is beautifully decorated and welcoming, the staff are attentive and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The bedrooms are just excellent: ours had a roll top bath. The food as you can imagine from my introduction was excellent. 3rd July 2024 Lat night George and Dragon won Pub of the Year at the Cumbria Tourism Awards 2024!

We visited for a roast dinner on Sunday afternoon. The food was delicious, we both had beef of which was cooked to perfection (pink and melt in the mouth), there was plenty of meat with lots of veg and a huge Yorkshire pudding! We opted for a sticky toffee sundae and eton mess for desert, again, these were beautiful but maybe a little on the small side for our liking. The service was good with a couple of attentive servers but we did wait a little while after sitting down to order drinks and then again to order our food. Well worth a visit for the food, and great if you’re not looking for super quick service.

When we decided to spend my 44th in the lakes my partner decided to dine here due to previous reviews. The food was actually lovely however the waiter serving it couldn't actually tell us anything about the courses and had to bring a manager over to explain the questions we had. After the food, being a chatty friendly couple that we are, we made friends with two locals in the bar. During the meal we had a couple of drinks than sat in the bar, I had 4 pints of IPA and when ordering my 5th the assistant bar manager Iza D asked me if I was driving, I kind of laughed this off as I wouldn't know why I would be asked this question and as it was we were staying in a lovely Airbnb 5 mins walk up the...
