"There were 5 people In our group for lunch, 2 vegans, 2 veggies and an omni. 4 of us actually ordered from the vegan menu and 1 ordered a vegetarian dish. My main issue was that 2 of us (myself being vegan and the omni in the group! ordered the flat bread from the vegan menu it didn’t advertise coming with chips but when we ordered our waiter asked us which chips we would prefer so we both asked for sweet potato fries. When the fries came out they had cheese on them (despite us clearly ordering from the separate vegan menu . I’m not sure if this was an error on the waiter or the kitchen’s part but the waiter apologised. I shared the fries with one of the vegetarians in the group so I just avoided any that had cheese on them, however I’m now wondering whether actually they were not cooked in a separate fryer and this is why they weren’t on the vegan menu!? In terms of staff knowledge I was also disappointed when I asked what type of plant based burger it was on the vegan menu (I.e. meat substitute or bean based etc and our waiter didn’t know or really seem to understand the question (and didn’t offer to find out . That’s why I chose the flat bread instead and then had the cheese issue! My second main issue is that the food was pretty average especially considering the price. 3 of us had the vegan chocolate tart advertised as coming with fresh berries. (2 of us originally ordered the treacle tart which was sold out, fair enough . However 2 of us can’t eat strawberries so asked for the tart without them, expecting other berries instead, however the only berry on the third tart was a solitary diced strawberry! The tart was also pretty small considering it didn’t come with any accompaniment but cost £6.25! Overall it’s great they’re trying with a vegan menu but my view is that they must try harder!"

"Stopped off for a quick dinner on the way home from visiting friend on bank holiday Monday. Have used the George and Dragon many times and always had good food and good service. Tonight however was a totally. different experience! They seemed to be incredibly short staffed. When our food arrived if was warm at best. My daughter and husband ordered dirty burgers which arrived without bacon or pickles. My other daughter had what I can only say appeared to be some else’s chips broken and re-fried. We ate what we could but left much of the food. I discreetly spoke to a male member of staff rather than cause a fuss. He said he would speak to the manager but never came back to me. I asked the waitress for our bill so that we could pay and leave.The young lady brought the bill to the table and left. After waiting a good 10 minutes for someone to take our money with no joy So I went to the bar to pay. While paying I asked if the manager had advised and was told yes, “ sorry the “wrong burgers” were served but you didn’t complain before eating so tough we expect you to pay in full. I paid the full bill. On getting home and checking the menus it turns out I have paid £6.00 to much to be served rubbish and incorrect food! I suppose the jokes on me for not kicking up a fuse and disturbing other dinner and then not checking I had been charged for the cheaper food that we got served!"
