Ah, the George & Dragon – it's one of those pubs that really grows on you once you step inside. From what I've gathered chatting about places like this, the food is a highlight; they've got these new lunch deals that are an absolute bargain, with mains kicking off at just £5, and options like the Grilled Chicken Caesar Flatbread sound like they'd hit the spot on a lazy afternoon. Plus, starting your day with their breakfast is a treat, available from as early as 6:30am on weekdays. And if you're into your sports, it's brilliant for that – they show live Premier League action and more on TNT Sports, so you can cheer on your team with a pint in hand. The staff can be stars too; stories of them going the extra mile, like serving a whole group flawlessly or being super friendly at the bar, make you feel right at home. But, let's be honest, it's not all perfect – there are times when staffing feels a bit stretched, leading to waits that might frustrate you, especially if you're popping in before the theatre or for a quick bite. I've heard a few tales of service being inconsistent, with staff occasionally distracted, and while the food is generally good, it doesn't always knock it out of the park. Still, with a solid 4.0 rating overall, it's worth a visit if you're in Altrincham; just pop in with realistic expectations, book ahead if you can, and you'll likely have a cracking time swapping stories over a meal.
