"It’s our (very) local pub and has undergone several reincarnations in recent years. The new managers/owners look to be putting a lot of work into it and we have had a good report. So thought we’d give it a try for lunch as the signs say food served from 12:30 The first thing to notice is that it looks and feels cosier inside than it ever has although the Christmas decorations may have helped. A log fire being lit would have been the icing on the cake for me personally. The sole lady member of staff was very friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately lunch was a tad disappointing. The Christmas Menu was referred to but was apparently roasts only and to be honest it wasn’t clear if it was available or not. It seemed that burger and chips was the only thing on offer. Not what we’d anticipated or expected but thought we’d give it a try, as let’s face it, you can’t beat a good burger and chips. Unfortunately we didn’t get one. Supposedly we should have had coleslaw (I say supposedly as we’d not actually seen a menu) but this was unavailable so we had cheese added to the burger instead. Not a problem though. Portion size was OK. The chips were great. The burger itself, sad to say, was average at best. Having seen no menu and therefore no food prices we don’t know what the burgers cost, only what the food and drinks together cost. Overall, given the quality of it I’d say the price slipped in somewhere between ‘slightly dear’ and ‘about right’ So, first impressions of the “new” Green Dragon? Definitely worth returning for a drink for the coziness and friendliness, but the food needs to be sorted out both in terms of what is actually available, visible menus, and more importantly, quality. It’s a shame as we so wanted our inaugural visit to the pub in it’s current guise to be a perfect one. As the food was the main reason for visiting I’m afraid it’s got to lose a couple of dots on the rating"

"Review written by wife. The overall experience was good, the starters were great however there were a few things that let it down. 1) It took a while for our food to come out. 2) The drinks we ordered came out in dribs and drabs. At one point a drink for our table was given to another table. Also, we then got the same drink twice. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the waiters. 3) The food was nice, however, my husband ordered his steak and lamb to be medium well but when it came it was practically raw. He wasn’t even able to cut into it. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and have it cooked a bit more. 4) My parents food was way too salty we’re a family who like salt so for us to say it was too salty is really something. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and when it came out it was much better. 5) I had the prawn curry which was nice, it said it was a coconut lime curry however all you could taste was lime which I didn’t mind so much but after a while it was a bit sharp. 6) We called the waitress over again as my sister had ordered taco’s but she didn’t want them anymore, however when we called over the waitress she made it very clear that she was fed up/tired of having to come over to our table. She sighed before speaking and her body language clearly showed she didn’t want to be there. 7) The cocktails seemed as though they had been watered down. I got the bramble and when it came it just tasted of soda water which wasn’t great and so did my sisters cocktail. With adjustments to attitudes and service, it could be a really great place."

"Food was severely lacking in flavour, quality and general appeal. I saw this place online and looked great, although the overall customer service was of a high standard with kind and attentive waiters/waitresses, the food took us off guard. We ordered a rib eye steak (requested as medium rare but arrived extremely well done), 2x bland chicken steaks and a chewy little lamb steak, all with a far from generous helping of garlic sauce. It hurts me to see such a great cut of beef which claims to be marbled, to be disrespected by the way this was cooked. Unfortunately the excessively large cut chips were also poor company to sad looking slabs of meat that lay centrepiece to the dishes. The whole meal was served on a bed of over boiled noodles sticking to a dangerously hot plate, making the steak difficult to cut as it tries to balance itself on gelatinous pile of noodles (I would’ve much preferred they serve me a pot noodle). The overcompensating 2 inch platform of a plate that the meal was served on did no favours to the food, and the “sizzler” element seemed to only be reflected through the excess smoke and noise that went on too long. The side of veggies reminded me of an unseasoned, depressing, microwaved bowl of carrots and peas pulled through a frozen bag straight from a freezer in Iceland. The general taste and execution of this meal was extremely poor, I couldn’t recommend this establishment to anyone, the only saving grace from my experience was the cleanliness of the venues, and politeness of the staff. And as much as it pains me to say, the best part of the meal was the jarritos cola. I cannot express my disappointment enough, as I had hyped myself up all week thinking this meal would be worth the wait, unfortunately I had never been so wrong. 1/10"
