George Dragon Inn - TUNBRIDGE WELLS

Thank you Susan the brilliant Maître d'hôtel. We were a party of 9 with kids and three dogs and celebrating a birthday as well. When I entered the restaurant, they could not find my booking and on checking my email, I realised I had booked it for the next week. Despite the restaurant being totally full, Susan still managed to seat us on the first floor. She was so warm, attentive and accommodating. If it was anyone else or anywhere else they would have turned us away. The food was amazing. The roasts were faultless. All the food was pipping hot, came out on time and the lovely man serving us was so nice as well should have taken his name! Thank you again. We are huge fans. We will be back. And thank you Susan.

Beautiful old pub, with top food. The mussels starter was as good as I’ve had anywhere. Fresh, plump and cooked to perfection. My baked cod main was tender and flakey. My wife’s lamb incredibly tender. Faultless service.

Fifty friends gathered for their annual winter, sporting, late Sunday Lunch moving seamlessly to early evening celebrations. Richard and his young team know how to entertain a large group on what is already a busy December Sunday session. Going the extra mile is an understatement. His expertise and hands on approach generate a genuine feelgood factor in what is already an outstanding venue of historical importance. The George Dragon has a deep bond with its regulars and visitors from far and wide and I know the residents of Speldhurst village justifiably treasure their G D. Being greeted by a complimentary winter warmer on arrival was a welcome reviver for guests who had run cross-country up to 12miles to get here. Our two-course Sunday roast was served, upstairs in the atmospheric timbered Great Hall, with skill and speed by a happy group, headed up by the charming Tess who was attentive throughout the session. Both generous courses received complements from a relaxed, warm and well-fed throng. Congratulations Richard we hope our wet, muddy group will be welcomed back.

A lovely cosy place to have an excellent Sunday lunch. Super friendly and efficient service. The team serving us were very organised and nothing was too much trouble. We were a very large group and yet they still managed to serve us all and attend to any other requests. Super smiley. A lovely experience.

Once again a delicious lunch with friends, one of whom was vegetarian and was catered for perfectly. By chance we met up with two sets of other friends, who all raved about this pub, despite not being local. We are always proud to bring our family and friends for an ambience and menu that are superb, with dedicated and efficient service. Thank you.
