| We visited the George & Dragon for Sunday lunch today (albeit on Bank Holiday Monday), as part of a ramble including a visit to Downe House. The initial impression was positive, with low wooden beams and a traditional interior. They had a standard range of cask ales, including Harvey's, Timothy Taylor, London Pride and Young's Bitter. The beer was fine. However, the food was a very poor. The meat in my Sunday roast was very strange: paper thin and very similar to sliced luncheon meat. My wife ordered a gammon baguette but received a roll with sliced luncheon ham and some limp leaves. When we asked the waitress about this, the reply was "But that is gammon". Where do you even begin with that? In summary, ok beer, middling atmosphere, terrible food. Very disappointed with an £18 outlay for a beer, a tea and terrible grub. JimboEnnui - 7 May 2012 22:22 |

| we quite often visit the george with my family wife and 2 children who enjoy the relaxed atmosphere good food and friendly staff and above all good beer for me with harveys,london pride,bass and tim taylors landlord oh they also do lager aswell. The pub still has low ceilings beams and an open fire in winter as for the free sausages they went over 20 years as did the wall separating the bar which made the pub more spacious. Overall this pub is worth a visit on a bus route from bromley and orpington and also near Downe house and Xmas tree farm, there is a quiz night every sunday night and other entertainment at various times . gubbsy - 21 Jul 2011 17:56 |
| Once upon a time this was the perfect country pub - a couple of small bars with beamed ceilings, a real fire in winter and (free!) hot sausages. We would travel miles just to come here. And then about ten years ago someone had the bright idea of ripping all that out and turning The George & Dragon into an anodyne nothing-much of a pub that could be anywhere. A tragic act of vandalism. rwconsultancy - 16 Oct 2010 11:14 |
| Visited this pub on Sunday. With my family of six inclusive. I have to say this is the best sunday lunch I have ever tasted, home made gravy, home made Yorkshire puddings (even if you had Lamb or Pork) a huge selection of fresh vegetables, and for my vegetarian daughter one of the best tasting vegetarian meals ever. Great selection of Beers and wine. Realy friendly staff, and a wonderful atmosphere. We will go back time and time again Fork Fork - 16 Jul 2010 19:56 |
