Grace Dent’s review for The Guardian… Unbeknown to us, Grace Dent – columnist, author, broadcaster and The Guardian’s Restaurant Critic came to eat with us recently and last week her review of the George And Dragon was published.  We are very relieved and proud to say that it was glowing!  It means a huge amount to us because we love reading Grace’s reviews and she certainly doesn’t mince her words so praise from her is high praise indeed!

Grace called our truffle and parmesan gougeres “all fluffy, warm and generously proportioned, and not at all like those light bites of cheesy air you get down in London.”, she said our anchovies were “some of the best I’ve ever eaten: strikingly fresh, dressed in oil, lemon zest and vinegar, and breathtakingly good”, and concluded “I’ve already planned my next trip to the George and Dragon, this time with a bigger group and factoring in a country walk and the chance for me to bore on at my captive audience about Tudor history and the 1547 rough wooing at the Battle of Pinkie.”

We’d like to congratulate our Head Chef Gareth and our clever team. And to say a massive thank you to Grace and The Guardian for taking the time to visit us and write about us.
