Visitors in the neighbourhood of Swallowfield can revel in the traditional relaxed country pub ambience of The George & Dragon in Church Road. Its warm earthy tones, open fires, natural wood and exposed beams bring back the leisure of a bygone age. Dine from an international selection to fortify yourself for exploring the countryside or to replenish spent reserves.

Items such as herb pancake filled with sautéed spinach and button mushrooms, twice baked Fond de Ambert blue cheese soufflé with a toasted hazelnut and pear salad or wild Irish smoked salmon with rye bread make a good start to the meal. The chef?s creativity produces mains of roast red snapper fillet coated in spicy harissa with stir fried bok choi, lightly roasted duck breast with sesame noodles, plum sauce and crispy seaweed or roasted pork belly filled with apples and rolled in smoked paprika in a red wine jus. For afters choose between chocolate bread and butter pudding and red berry and almond crumble. Settle back in an armchair and finish what's left of your choice from the range of full bodied, aromatic wines.
