We were on our way to meet friends for a weekend and had left a little late, but fancied lunch on…read morethe way. It proved rather difficult to find anywhere at about 3.30 - most places on the way only did lunch from 12-2, even on a Friday, so we were pleased to see George & Dragon serving throughout the day. There was a Friday special of two fish and chips for £14 - their other special didn't work on a Friday (which was a very good deal) - but I fancied the gammon and chips which was well cooked (as was my husband's fish and chips!) The irony of our visit is that I refused to pay 50p for a pub carpark in Lichfield which had meals for 2 for £10, but ended up paying over £2 for car parking in Ashbourne - and over £20 for two meals! We don't venture into pubs that much, but we were very pleased to find a real community atmosphere, with a warm welcome for everyone, from the two people playing pool in one area to the family with children having a soft drink in another.

Great food at brilliant value. Great service and there's a car park opposite. Family friendly and a…read moregood shelter from the rain. Well worth a visit!

I don't know who you last reviewer was but I can honestly say this is the BEST pub I have visited…read moreever. For quality local food at seriously cheap prices and served by the most friendly staff I have come across . Nothing was too much trouble for them , the chips are unbelievable fresh home made and never seen a freezer in their life - so unusual these day's . I would recommend the daily specials Pork belly was amazing and the Cod was huge with crisp batter and real mushy peas. My friend had mushroom stroganoff with a rich creamy sauce and fresh herbs ,made especially for her as a veggie special . They lit the log fire just for us , the atmosphere was fantastic with a gorgeous bottle of Fleurie our log fire and delicious home cooked food we were in heaven and so relaxed. The only thing they didn't have was a bed for us to stay over , however they booked us into a nearby hotel and we returned for lunch the next day which was just as wonderful . WELL DONE TO ALL AT THE HORNS !
