The George and Dragon, Great Budworth

Having had the George and Dragon recommended to me, I was disappointed on my visit. Although the beer was reasonably well kept, little else impressed. The menu looked like hearty fare, but when the food arrived it was disappointingly below average. The sausages which I was served were tasteless and had a bizarre synthetic texture - they also seemed to release a lot of air when cut open! I like a traditional pub interior, but feel that the G&D is overdone on this score, achieving a very oppressive atmosphere coupled with quite dark lighting in the lounge area. The toilets were also unpleasant. This is a shame, as Great Budworth is a beautiful village, and I enjoyed visiting the village itself - if only the G&D upped it's game a bit.
