About This Pub
Ah, George & Dragon – it's one of those local pubs that really hits the spot for a good Sunday lunch or a family celebration, isn't it? From the reviews, it sounds like they've nailed the carvery; folks are raving about how it's miles better than the usual chain options, feeling just like a warm, home-cooked meal. Plus, it's brilliant for hosting parties – affordable and with a buzzing atmosphere that makes everything feel special. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect; there have been a few grumbles about the service being a bit frosty or unreliable, like mix-ups with bookings that cost time and money, or even some dodgy facilities that leave you wishing for better. Overall, if you're up for a solid pint and a meal in Stanford-le-Hope, it's worth a go, but maybe pop in on a quiet day to avoid any potential hiccups – that way, you can enjoy the best bits without the surprises.

Attended granddaughters 16. Dj great as was everything else. Really recommend this venue.
Had a great 18th birthday party for my granddaughter, great atmosphere, very affordable.
Popped in for a Sunday Carvery, and they smashed it! Was by far the best carvery I've had, even the 'specialists' Toby can't compete. Was like having a home cooked Sunday roast! Right on our doorstep, so will be making this a regular thing now!
I walked in and was dead eyed by a frosty barmaid, I asked For 2 coffees they were disgusting... No loo roll in toilet... Wierd vibe, asn and the smell of rank drains was so off putting I just paid and left after five minutes. Horrible place, Nasty. I wont be returning.
