George and Dragon

Head down Castle Street towards the cathedral and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that doesn't need to try too hard. The George and Dragon has that comfortable, slightly worn-in feeling of a place where regulars prop up the bar and know the staff by name. You're getting straightforward pub classics done well—the sort of food that sticks with you—alongside a decent selection of local and regional ales. It's the sort of spot where you can nurse a pint for an afternoon or grab something proper to eat without any fuss or pretension.
