George and Dragon, Sandwichback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The George & Dragon was my favourite pub in Sandwich. It is tucked way out of the way in one of the maze of narrow, residential streets and it had plenty of character. There were only a few in. But these soon included the landlord and landlady of the Crispin Inn, which I was still to visit. Ales on were Butcombe Bitter, Otter Amber & Mad Cat Mild Disobedience. I chose the mild, which was a decent drink. Worth seeking out.

Surprised by the low rating here. Quite possibly not a true reflection of well kept local beer (Wantsum), tasty food and excellent service. A really pleasant lunchtime visit. Yes, it is geared towards victuals, but the ale is excellent too.

It scores lowly because it isn't really a pub, more of an eatery. beer was okay but there was only room at the bar area for about 5 or 6 drinkers, most of the place is laid out for diners.

A very attractive small pub that feels like a back street local but must get tourists. Good welcome, bar snacks and OK beer.

I�m surprised that previously this pub has scored so badly. I can only assume these undated scores relate to earlier ownership as a web search has revealed that it closed in 2008, but was reopened by 2010, refurbished and under new management. Although staying B&B at another inn in Sandwich, I and three friends decided to try this pub for beer and a meal.
Entry to the pub revealed a large nicely restored traditionally timbered pub bar, with open access to a modestly sized restaurant section running towards the rear of the pub. Although furnished with lighter coloured tables & chairs it serves to delineate drinkers from diners in the pub. Three cask ales were on tap, Master Brew, Incubus and another (Courage Best?). We agreed that the beers were in far better condition than those served at our B&B. The restaurant seemed pretty popular for a Monday evening. Three of us tried the set menu, which was both value for money and prepared to a very good standard. The staff and were friendly and efficient. I guess that it�s unfair to comment on other venues in Sandwich when you haven�t visited them, but based on recent extensive trawls of the web, this may well be one of the better pubs to eat & dine at in central Sandwich.
