Welcome to the George & Dragon Swallowfield, your local country pub in Berkshire.
Our Story
The George & Dragon is a family-owned, independent country pub known for its exceptional cooking and range of award-winning local beers, based in easy reach of Reading, Wokingham, Shinfield and surrounding areas.
It has a traditional, relaxed atmosphere with warm tones, open fires, original brickwork and exposed beams. Outside, it’s situated in beautiful Berkshire countryside, with views and walks all around the garden. The pub has a vibrant local community but is also popular with visitors from further afield, as it makes for a lovely day out into the peaceful countryside while being easy to reach.
The pub itself dates back to the 17th Century and is a Grade 2 listed building. It has served many purposes over the years – being a coach house around the turn of the 20th Century, before becoming an excellent watering hole. Since then, the work of the chefs over the past 20 years or so has earned it a reputation as a gastro-pub.
“Visited this evening for dinner, as not far from the pub and have cycled by a lot and always said let’s go there so tonight we did and safe to say, we will definitely be back!! The staff are so lovely and attentive. Had the best fish and chips and the pear and beetroot starter was lovely too!! Siren on tap which is also a winner, living next to Siren it’s nice to have local brew. See you again soon, this time with our doggy as asked if dog friendly and it is!!”
