George Dragon - East Hertfordshire

Five years after my previous visit and under a different regime, I suffered an equally disappointing lunch last Saturday. The sandwich menu has 'Soup of the Day ' at the top of the list, with a choice of White or Brown Bread freshly made daily . There 's nothing beneath to suggest otherwise, so reasonable to presume the same bread is used for the sandwiches..... It was late on Saturday lunchtime and the kitchen about to close, I would 've prefered roast beef in brown bread, but with neither available, settled for 'thick cut ham ' in white... Well.... if the bread was freshly made that day, it was in a factory on Pin Green Industrial Estate (North East Stiffenache, a few miles away) And if that 's the Butcher 's idea of thick, you 'd be able to see through his thin cut ham; wafer thin would be as gossamer on the wind! In fairness, the meat was tolerable, although not overly generous. The bread, however, was truly revolting. And the beer. Green King IPA or Timothy Taylor 's Landlord. I don 't drink soft drinks, so settled for Landlord, which was ok, but not brilliant. So, much like my last visit (under the previous management), I won 't be returning under the current regime...

We came as a large cycling group on 31 October for lunch. We had preordered on Google Sheets everyone was served within 10 minutes of arrival with drinks served at the table. We are occasional visitors and this is one of our best pubs for food quality and service. Can’t recommend it too highly.

Great pub, nice atmosphere and not overpriced like some pubs in Hertford

After a five mile walk I was very glad to arrive back at the pub in Watton at Stone. A friendly welcome, and I enjoyed a tasty sandwich and a delightful chocolate sponge cake and ice cream dessert.

Called lunchtime with walking group 2 dogs. Good value tasty food and friendly welcoming staff.
