The Dragon

Visited the Dragon this afternoon for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately we arrived at around 3pm and they were fully booked (so book a table in advance). But we stood at the bar with a drink and admired the beautiful husky that was visiting the pub and after 20minutes were seated.
The food was absolutely delicious and cannot be faulted in any way. The only reason why I’ve not given 5 stars is because I was really looking forward to a lamb shank and unfortunately they had sold out and hadn’t told me when I sat down.
The service was very pleasant and we were even offered extra gravy half way through our meal which I think is a great touch.
Great pub, not cheap but definitely worth every penny.

Great pub, perfect after a walk along the canal. The food is delicious, I had a risotto which was divine. The food is great quality, far from pub grub The Dragon perfect quality meals at fair prices. I discovered Rekorderlig Swedish fruit cider here which is now my drink of choice.
The Dragon puts the other two pubs to shame in the village! They should follow suit and buck up their ideas. Don’t miss the mini frying basket of chips so cute. Well worth a visit!

Recently rebranded as ‘The Dragon’, this is one of three pubs in Willington that are in close proximity. A popular pub with a largish car park, in a good location right next to the canal. A good variety of outdoor seating, both at the front of the pub and in prime location next to the canal, perfect for a summer’s evening! Inside the pub is modern and spacious, with pictures adorning the walls from Willington in bygone times. We visited on a Bank Holiday and the Dragon was very busy with diners and drinkers alike, sheltering from the incessant rain!
Menu wise, a good variety of dishes, both traditional and more modern. As it was so busy on the evening we visited, we just went straight for the mains. We went for the ‘Dragon burger’ and the Moroccan Tagine; the burger was tasty enough, with a pleasant accompanying side salad and great chips. The tagine was the pick of the dishes though, full of flavour and a sizeable portion, with cous cous, but could have done with a portion of veg, but that was an extra. Other dishes included steaks, fish and chips, homemade pies etc. A good meal, and we will definitely give the starters and desserts a try on another visit.
