The charm of the Green Dragon is that it incorporates its heritage dating back over 200 years with a modern, stylish bar and restaurant.
Set on the outskirts of the historic town of Barnet this idyllic location has panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
The beauty of The Green Dragon is its diversity of choice. It offers you superb freshly cooked food (from the award winning farm "The Ginger Pig"), relaxed dining with friends and family or simply a light snack in the garden. Through to the relaxed welcoming atmosphere you will receive if you are simply popping in for a quick drink in the relaxed sofa bar. Whatever your needs the Green Dragon will accommodate them.

This pub is very food orientated, but I cannot blame them for taking that route as this isn't the easiest pub to get to without your own transport.
As you walk through the front entrance you are confronted by a few stools lined along the bar which has a good selection of premium lagers alongside Becks and Stella. I was happy to also see four hand pumps serving up Landlord, Pride, Betty Stoggs and Greene King IPA and I was even more pleased when I discovered that the Pride and the Landlord were on good form. To the right of the bar there is a small section with a TV, that was off, and some comfortable seating. At the other side of the pub is the restaurant section which stretches around to a conservatory at the back that leads onto some outside seating. This outside seating faces a tree lined farmer's field to the rear and continues around the corner of the pub where it faces the car park, although it is walled of well enough to not feel like you are sitting in your car.
The food that the misses and I had was of a good standard, but unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. At the end of our meal we had managed to accrue four pint glasses and three half pint glasses between the two of us. We were lucky to book a table early as once the pub started to fill there were some delays and I had to wait so long for a top up of Pride that I asked for some more from another waitress. To my delight two pints turned up at the same time, but I can imagine less forgiving people getting the hump, as some people around us were doing. I found all of the staff to be very pleasant and I think that the problem is more a lack of ability and direction than a lack of effort.
I certainly wouldn't go here just for a drink and although the food was good I think that I will try a few other places before returning here to eat.
