Green Dragon, Southwell

The Old Green Dragon was the better of Oxton's 2 pubs and my favourite pub in Nottinghamshire out of 11 we visited on Saturday. Tucked away just off the village's main drag, the pub caters well for both drinkers and diners. There are a number of different areas around the bar, spread over a couple of different levels. We were seated in a dining area to the rear, next to the kitchen. It looked like we were lucky to grab a table, given how busy it was. So, we took the opportunity to eat. Ales on were Totally Brewed Crazy Like A Fox, Abbeydale Moonshine, Beermats Hazmat & Little Critters White Wolf. Ciders were Thirsty Farmer Lemon & Lime Cider, Lilley's Strawberry Cider & Tropical Cider, Seacider Blood Orange & Gwynt y Ddraig Fiery Fox. We opted for the Lemon & Lime Cider, which seemed very sweet and fizzy and was served with ice. Having thought nothing of it, the waitress soon returned to our table to said there had been a mistake with our order. We'd been given non-alcoholic lemon & lime! Both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions were good! The meals we had were also fine, including my flat iron steak, served with a Diane sauce, tomatoes, a flat mushroom and plenty of chips and salad. Service was good and the pub is clearly very popular and has been the recipient of a few local CAMRA awards. Recommended.
