Really good roasts!
Four of us met for Sunday roast and were really impressed with the lunches and in particular the value for money!
The cuts of meat were really thick, great quality veg and Yorkshire pudding and the sauces were fab too.
The sides were great too but the stuffing was maybe just a little dry and crumbly (we still ate them mind you, that's probably picking hairs!)
Definitely be back at some point soon.

We came for a Sunday roast on our way back from Bath. The food was absolutely gorgeous. The lamb was cooked to absolute perfection. Their prices are also exceptionally reasonable. The quality of food, service, and the price put a lot of other places to shame. The staff were helpful, friendly, and very cheerful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's in the area to visit. Just make sure to book in advance as it's very popular. We shall be coming back again without a doubt!

Revisited tonight with friends. Really tasty food, lots of flavour. Staff attentive to our requirements.
A live band were playing. Great evening.
Went for a catch up with a friend tonight.
Instead of the usual burger I opted for the new lemon chicken thighs soft tacos!
Definitely one to try. Really packed a punch with flavours and really enjoyed.
Friend had the chicken ceasar salad which was also really tasty.
Will no doubt be back next month to try something else on the menu.
Staff are always friendly and accommodating. Great atmosphere.

Went for Sunday lunch with a friend. Although they were heavily booked when we phoned they fitted us in.
When we arrived, just after 1pm it was quiet but by 2pm it was filling right up so an early table might be the best option if you leave it to the last minute to book
We both chose the lamb roast and it arrived quickly and the portions were large.
They gave us extra gravy, as requested, and didn’t charge for it as some places have in the past. The mint sauce was lovely and so thick is was almost solid.
The food was very flavoursome and cooked perfectly, the lamb was beautifully tender and there was lots of it.
My only criticism was that the food was a little cold and the door to the garden area was open which caused the food to cool down quicker than would be ideal.
Nonetheless I’m a fast eater and the food was lovely throughout.
My friend had the sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for desert and I had a large white coffee which was full flavoured and potent. Just what I needed.
At under £20 per head it was excellent value for money.
Service was quick and spot on.

Today I thought it would be a lovely change for my mother and I to go out and let someone else do the cooking for us for a fabulous change …
We chose The George and Dragon at Gravely near Baldock as we have dined there several times and the food was really good.
We were late booking and got a table for two at 4pm (they stop seating guests at 5pm)
We both decided on the roast beef Sunday roast with cauliflower cheese extra side dish.
Where do I start … (deep intake of breath)
The beef was so tough it was hard to cut with our knives … hard to chew and difficult to swallow … the roast potatoes had been kept warm far far too long and were hard and dry … the Yorkshire puddings were very large dry with no flavour …the diced carrots and parsnips were so so ridiculously salty and sweet and again kept too long and were greasy and dry so their flavour was so concentrated … the red cabbage was far too sweet …
The cauliflower and cheese side dish was sent back because the cauliflower was raw … and unfortunately came back replaced by another portion which was raw…
Oh dear dear … it was a disasterous late lunch.
What do I think about serving food? …
I believe is that if you are serving food till 5 o’clock it has to be of the same quality that you start with when you open your service at the beginning of lunchtime …
 I paid the same amount for my food that the people did on first sittings, so why should my quality be any different? Maybe the George and Dragon can take that on board …
Thank you
They did however discount the cauliflower cheese dish off my bill … (large exhale! )

We had lovely dinners with all the trimmings and giant Yorkshire puddings. I had a tasty vegetarian option and my husband had the gammon.
Vegetarian options: A fair choice of vegetarian and vegan options.
