This pub is now about to close or be sold. As other reviews say it is a lovely pub in a great location. The pub tried to be upmarket but never quite achieved it. There is a very successful pub here- it just needs a decent business plan and the right management. Maybe Fullers will take it over which would be a good option.

Great pub in the village centre. Well kept local beers including a couple of Different XT ales from Long Crendon. Big garden out the back..but you need to go and find it!

Lovely pub in the center of the old village. New management have brought this place alive, great food and well kept beers.
|
A really nice pub, with 2 or 3 real ales on. An Enterprise pub so there is the ridiculous situation where they can only sell one pub not on their portfolio (I think I'm correct in saying that) so the beer can be ready to drink but they have to wait for the 'other' beer to run out before they can put it on! A great pub, friendly landlord & landlady with quite possibly the best beer on our crawl.

Visited this fine pub last Friday evening. I have to say that I was fantastically impressed, the service was brilliant and the food was well beyond what you would normally expect from a village pub! it was divine! I hope to return very soon.

The Green Dragon, is now open and under new management. Clare and Steve are very welcoming and the food is really good value for money, they are trying to make it back to a traditional pub with traditional pub food, all locally sorced.
They still have 3 real ales on, Doom Bar is their regular ale with 2 guest ales on at all times.
its nice to see The Green Dragon back open and I/we wish Clare and Steve all the best.

The Green Dragin is currently closed after Enterprise Inns doubled the rent and the current management told them to shove it!
|
Very welcoming quite smart pub. 3 real ales on, Doombar, Sussex Bitter and Rebellion Mutiny all well kept. Both a bar menu, baguettes, ploughmans, etc and a restaurant menu food was good and sensibly priced if not cheap. Bar staff were very friendly and made us feel; at home.

Great beer & FANTASTIC food. A great place for lunch, dinner, or just a beer.

Things have certainly changed here of late - all for the better. The previous "dragon" has gone and the new staff are welcoming and friendly. 4 of us stopped for lunch over ther weekend and were blown away. Food excellent, beer great (very good Doom) and a good wine list. The ladies loved the desserts which gave us lads time for a sneaky extra pint! Highly recommended, well done.

Went to the Green Dragon for lunch the other day.
It's got new owners and it's been completely re-done, was also shown on the BBC program The Restaurant recently.
Beer was great and the I haven't had such good food in a pub before.
|
Under new management apparently, light and airy resto-pub, had a pint of Sharp's Doombar, not bad but not great either.
|
We eat here once a year, food is nice and beer is excellent if a little pricey. Came here in an afternoon, no problems coming in just for a drink - three ales including Brakspears which as it turned out was coming to the end of the barrel so I won't complain as it was drinkable - replaced by Loddon Hoppit. Very much food orientated but I don't see a problem for drinkers - You wouldn't want to have a session there any way.

Rather unfriendly; a pub or a restaurant? Either way, the attitude is rather 'we're doing you the favour, so be grateful....and don't enjoy youself too much'

We were looking for a good place to have Sunday Lunch so stopped at the Green Dragon at about 1:15. I went inside to see if there was room for My Wife, Son and Me. The place was 25% full but the owner had to check if there was space taking several minutes! It was a bit expensive at �20 for the set menu but my wife said she'd treat me. So we unpack the family only for the owner to come out and rudely exclaim no children under 7! She couldn't explain why. She even rudely asked for her cheap photocopied menu back! No wonder they were empty.

Revisited and got the impression that if I was a non-diner I was less than welcome. I was served with a substandard pint of Deuchar's that turned out to be the end of the barrel. Like an idiot I didn't complain.

I nipped in here for a leisurely pint and although it's extremely food-oriented (it's really a restaurant, not a pub) I was made most welcome even though I wasn't eating.
This is the first non-smoking establishment I've ever visited and it was wonderful to have a smoke-free atmosphere. I mentioned this to the lady who served me and she said that lots of people say the same thing.

Although I have yet to visit I am now contemplating cancelling as a result of a very rude telephone conversation. I phoned to ask about vegetarian options for two of the people in my large party and was met with a very frosty response. The food now has alot to live up to as the service, so far, is poor.

Attractive flint stoned building which is essentially a restaurant. L shaped bar with pleasant decor has space for drinkers as you enter. The areas on the left and at the room at the back are for eating.
