George & Dragon

A hidden away three-roomed village pub, which still retains fittings from the 1930s when an extension was added to a much older pub. The front door leads to a tiny snug called McGill’s Bar (named in honour of customer Dave Curtis, who resembled McGill, the man in a suitcase) which has an old, at least 1930s, bar counter painted cream. Take a close look at the door between the bars and you can see it was raised around 9 inches in height (in 2003) to stop customers banging their heads! A doorway to the left of McGill’s bar leads to the small public bar. This has another old, at least 1930s, bar counter, also painted cream; but the fireplace and fixed seating look more 1960s, The bar back was replaced in the 1980s. To the right is the lounge that was two small rooms. It has an interesting carved counter added in the 1970s possibly to replace a hatch. Fixed seating and the distinctive fireplace look 1960s. Both Gents' and Ladies' have a 1930's panel in the door and inter-war tiles on the walls, as does the porch.
