| to update my previous comment last summer, i have been in a couple of times since and they appear to have resolved the issue with the ale. the quality of the ale is now 100% better. In fact, i had an EPA last week and it was on top form. a complete turnaround! They have 3 ales available, doubled up as they have 6 pumps. However. they have now addressed the issue of notifying the customer when an ale is not available with the use of a little sign on the pump. Furthermore, the whole pub was refurbished recently to improve the whole experience. if you've not been in for a while, i'd recommend you give it another go and see what you think to the improvements Keep it up G&D!! 7/10 juninhocrunch - 10 Apr 2013 17:24 |
| the ale is truly awful. they have 6 pumps each with a different clip on, but they only put one on at a time to stop them going off, so the barmaid told me. however, the black sheep I had was undrinkable, so what's the point in that?! surely having all 6 pump clips on show makes the punters think they are all available, like I did. but as there;s on one at a time, is this not false advertising? then again, I've been going in there for years (don't know why!) and it's always been the same. juninhocrunch - 21 Jul 2012 13:52 |
| Architecturally splendid inside and out, large, multi-roomed, busy, buzzing, good beer, good landlord, friendly regulars. A community hub. That was then. The George and Dragon has gone completely down hill and down market. Still busy and buzzing on occasions, but only then with shabby, unshaven, sportswear-attired riff raff trying to to out-swear each other. The entrance doorway on School Lane is a particular grot spot and smoking hang out for this lot. Awful. However, the pint of Bombardier I had in there recently was excellent, and reasonably priced. Bombardier was the only hand-pumped ale available, although about 4 others were on display (i.e. pump clips facing forward) but unavailable. Sloppy bar management! moleskin - 15 May 2012 22:27 |
| must have been in 100 times and can count the number of times I've had a good pint on one hand. More cellar training me thinks juninhocrunch - 20 Nov 2011 23:34 |
