An impressive Georgian hotel, formerly the George and Dragon. There is limited parking, and the pub still offers accommodation. The downstairs has been renovated and now consists of two bars and a dining room; dogs are not allowed in the latter. The décor is fresh, the rooms are large and airy and the floors are boarded. The landlord was a bit gruff, but he was hospitable nonetheless. Two ales on draft, Bo66y and Morland’s Bitter, both in reasonable condition. We chose not to eat as there was a ‘discretionary’ 12.5% service charge on all food orders, which was over and above the already high prices. Looking at other people’s meals, the high prices weren’t warranted. OK for a pint if passing.

A fine pub that manages to cater for all types of drinker and eater. Imaginative menu mostly locally sourced. One of the few pubs to sell Peter Yetman's beers on draught and it's well worth a sample. Yetman's beer is brewed in nearby Holt and is also available locally in bottles.

Very good upmarket pub. Real ales and good food served. Beer garden across the road.
