The Remarkable Restaurants group run pubs which usually get a good reception on Fancyapint? so we're happy to report their new effort tops them all. After being closed for a while, they were lucky to have taken over a building with a centuries-old history, but they nonetheless make the most of the opportunity - and who could blame them. We particularly liked the wintry nooks and crannies panelled in dark wood, which features a fantastic 17th century fireplace, rediscovered after being boarded up for years. None of it, however, feels twee or overbearing and for contrast there's also a bright and airy back room, its high ceilings tempered with a couple of art nouveau statues and a huge mural. Indeed, every aspect of the décor is well thought out and designed - as is the food, which was top notch. It was also nice to be served by people who actually seemed to be having a good time working - a rarity these days. This pub illustrates that when thought and time are put into a pub, the results speak for themselves. This is, hands down, the best pub in Acton or indeed the surrounding area.

Eating at TheSt. George & The Dragon ... we last ate here on 27/01/2007

The burger (served on a large chopping board) was clearly hand made and well worth the £8.95. A side dish of honey roasted root veg we also ordered (to help towards our five portions a day) was also excellent.

second opinion:

This is a charming pub, and worthy of its 5 star rating, though suprised that FAP rate it so highly given their disdain of gastros. This is a gastro, serving a good, varied, seasonal menu, but they mainly accomodate for this out the back, retaining the front section, complete with fireplace, oak beams and snugs for a proper darkened pub experience. Staff are great and friendly, the quiz night is quite an experience, as the south london quiz master falls in, usually an hour late, to a round of applause, to provide a well thought out weekly Monday quiz.
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
