Regular trad jazz event held on 4th Thursday of every month. We'll attended by up to 40 jazz fans. Bar food available at reasonable prices. Always one good real ale on hand pump.
A lovely countryside pub, accessible by many of the surrounding walks or large free carpark outside. Wide ranging menu with traditional pub food and a specials board. Generous portions and fair pricing. Perfect for a quick bite for lunch or a larger meal - especially before the popular quiz nights. Friendly and helpful staff - thank you to Steph for keeping the fire well stoked and providing some excellent banter.
What immediately struck us about our first, but will most certainly not be our last visit to the 'George' was the the convivial 'local's local' feel. We were reminded of a verse from the 'Cheers' theme... "Sometimes you wanna go Where everybody knows your name And they're always glad you came You wanna be where you can see Our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name" The delightful Sue, owner, host, order taker, amber nectar dispenser and general front-of-house heartbeat of the George made us welcome and already one of the family. Subsequent diners were greeted by name, as were their young 'uns and as were their dogs. It was a crisp sunny Sunday, perfect for taking the pooches for a brisk walk followed by a bevvy and possibly lunch. The menu is small but perfectly formed, ranging from tasty 'snacky' to our choice, a generous serving of a very good roast beef and vegetables, served promptly on warmed plates. We didn't have room for dessert but made it anyway, I had the hot treacle pudding with a lake of warm custard, & 'imself was persuaded to have the Chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. He scarfed the lot, declaring it "the best brownie he's ever eaten". He was enthusiastic about the Moretti lager as well, especially as I was the designated driver! The maestro behind these culinary delights is Allan, husband of Sue, who together own the quaint, beautifully restored and eclectically furnished George & Dragon Free House. We enjoyed our lunch immensely; our visit mercifully didn't break the bank and to sum it all up, no sooner were we home that I was browsing 'Rightmove' for houses for sale within dog-walking distance. Well, a girl can dream, cant she? Thank you Sue & Allan.
Really friendly pub with great service and great food. They have outside seating as well as inside with a little play area for kids. The portions of food were a good size. Car park available as well.
Popped in for a refreshing pint of Tonbridge Easy Street Pale ale having walked 6k from Tonbridge. For a Wednesday 5pm, nice to see a few people in the pub and outside in the pub garden. Didn't have any food, but the menu looked good. It's a proper country pub and whilst I was probably the only one who walked there, there was a generous sized car park that most used. A couple of nice ales on tap and a lovely classic fee to the pub with the low beams and tasteful decoration. Aim to pop back another time and try out the food, but there are also music/quiz/other events the pub seems to advertise on a regular basis.
