First visited : 20 April 2014
The George and Dragon lies on the B5169 just after the 400 bus route left the A6 and headed towards Reddish. Even on a limited stop service like the 400 it seemed like a long slow drag through a heavily populated residential area.
The George and Dragon seems to be trying to be two things at once, a family-friendly food pub and a football-watching venue. So that today was Easter Sunday on the one hand but Manchester United v Everton on the other. When I went to the bar with some menus the guy said "It's an hour for food.. one hour twenty " ( just in case the first estimate wasn't enough to put me off ). So we just had a quick drink and left.
The food I saw looked alright in a pub grub way, not worth waiting a long time for. The place is big and well-maintained but not very friendly. Without the football it would be a Witherspoon's. The wall decorations are just old and new photos of places around Stockport, mostly uncaptioned and arranged randomly with little evidence of any selection process having taken place.
Not worth the effort to get there really.
