About This Pub

You know, chatting about The Green Dragon feels like recommending a favourite local haunt – it's got that warm, welcoming feel that's just right for a relaxed afternoon or evening out. From the reviews, most folks are raving about the fantastic atmosphere, whether you're tucked away inside on a chilly day or making the most of the waterside setting when the sun's out. The food really stands out too; think mouthwatering roast dinners and fresh ciabattas that are as tasty as they sound, all at reasonable prices that won't leave you out of pocket. And let's not forget the drinks – a solid range of beers and more, served up with a smile by the friendly team. It's even great for those with dogs in tow, adding to that community vibe. On the downside, there have been a couple of tales of booking woes, like unexpected kitchen closures without much warning, so it's probably a good idea to give them a quick ring beforehand to avoid any surprises. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a proper pub experience, with the highs outweighing the lows based on what I've seen.

Booked a table for 4 for today “27th may”back on the 5th may. Got there 30 mins early, had a quick drink and went to the bar only to be told the kitchen won’t be in use so no food for 2 weeks. Only received and email from them yesterday reminding me of the booking. Not good at all.

Very good country pub, with great atmosphere and service. Suitable for everyone. Good range of beers, lagers and other alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. Food also very good. Cosy in the winter months, great location as summer pub.

Just had a lovely lunch sitting outside in the sunshine at this lovely little pub. A very well poured pint of cold Guinness by a charming bar girl. Delicious hand thick cut ham on a fresh soft ciabatta with English mustard. Very clean interior, very friendly service, very reasonable prices, can highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Nice little place, our booking was nowhere to be found, but staff were very helpful and was all sorted out. Lovely roast dinner with full selection of vegetables. Normally do the dog sitting swap at Sth Mimms, will go here in future. Could be busy in the summer I guess, due to location
