The Green Dragon

Walk into The Green Dragon and you're in proper local territory—the kind of place where regulars have their spots and the staff actually remember your name. It's set up like a traditional pub should be, all dark wood and warm lighting, but the kitchen takes things seriously without getting precious about it. You'll find well-executed British standards alongside daily specials that change depending on what's good, and the wine list actually has bottles you'd want to drink rather than just the usual suspects. It's the sort of neighbourhood gastropub that makes you realise you don't need to trek into town for a decent meal and a pint.
