The George And Dragon, Hurstbourne Tarrant

We had not visited this pub for a very long time so thought it would be a convenient place for lunch. It was apparently Burger Day so the rest of the menu was limited Two of us had the special Pheasant pie ,well maybe a pheasant had flown over but there wasn 't much pleasant in the pie .One of our party had the chop which looked much better .Puddings were pricey at £8 .drinks ok .Décor was interesting quite dark but with a roaring fire .felt a bit like you were intruding in someone 's front room .Not really our schene so it will not be added to our list of favourites

The George and Dragon, Hurstbourne Tarrant A pub lunch with the grandparents! Gran has been dying to go here so she decided to take me before going back to Uni. Came on a Friday lunchtime and it was steadily busy. It was warm, with a cosy atmosphere sat next to the fire. We decided to go for starters in which I got the soup of the day, with sourdough bread, which was a roasted red pepper and tomato. It came out piping hot which is always a good sign and the roasted red pepper flavour hit me immediately. The bread was lightly toasted so it was a little toasted on the outside but still very fluffy in the middle and accompanied the soup nicely. The balsamic drizzle on the top of the soup added a lovely hint of sweetness, which I really enjoyed. For main, I went for the special venison burger. This contained a venison patty in a brioche bun, lettuce, truffle mayo, blue cheese, and caramelised onion. And wow was it a special! The strong flavour of the venison was perfectly balanced out with the sweetness of the onions, and truffle mayo is my absolute FAVOURITE so was a massive fan of this. Portion size was also very good, I was so full afterwards. The chips were very generously salted, but luckily for me I love salty chips so this was no issue, as well as being very crispy, which again I love. We were too full for puddings, but for main course Gran had the fish and chips (as shown in the picture), which she said was lovely, but was too full to finish it (shock). Overall service was really good, and it was a lovely meal. Quite pricey for a village pub, but would go again. The seasonal menu changes frequently, so I would like to try the summer menu too.

I stayed at this restaurant during the week and had a great experience. The room was nicely furnished and the bed was very comfortable, making my stay enjoyable. The evening food was delicious, with many ingredients sourced locally and used by the chef to create fantastic dishes. Breakfast is served from 8:30am and when I came down, the fires were already roaring, creating a cozy atmosphere. There were plenty of options for breakfast but I opted for the avocado and egg dish which was served with a delicious coffee. It was the perfect way to start my day!

Visited with 2 mates for an early dinner, and was really impressed. Fabulous atmosphere, plenty of wood burners around the pub, really cosy, and our food was great couldn’t fault the food, best burger I’ve had in a long time, cooked absolutely perfectly. In fact, I have been harsh evaluating as a 4, not 5; partly because 5 means nothing could be improved; partly because we all reflected what our wives could have chosen to eat from the menu had we been a 6 not 3. So I’m re evaluating as a 5 based on our evening alone; I would also acknowledge the friendly attentive service. Back to the menu any chance of adding a couple of dishes that would appeal to gym going, ultra health conscious veggies? eg a winter salad bowl would be ideal. In any event, we’ll be back! We agreed it was a great find

We stayed at this restaurant after our cruise for one night. It is truly a charming place with high-quality bedding, towels, and toiletries. Our room was small and simple, but it suited our needs perfectly. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious. The room was quite warm, but this was likely due to an unusual heatwave and not the fault of the establishment.
