Welcome to The George & Dragon

Great food, local ales, village charm.

At the heart of Quainton since 1777, The George & Dragon overlooks the village green and the magnificent Quainton Windmill—the tallest in Buckinghamshire. Inside you'll find inglenook fireplaces, worn quarry-tiled floors, and elevated pub classics made with care; outside, our beer garden spills onto the green where you can watch the windmill's sails turn, pint in hand.

Today's Opening Hours:
  • Bar: 12:00pm - 9:30pm
  • Food: 12:00pm - 2:00pm & 5:00pm - 7:00pm

About Us

Discover Our Story

We believe great pub food doesn't mean ordinary. Our kitchen takes classic British pub favourites and elevates them with care, quality ingredients, and proper cooking—think slow-braised beef in ale, perfectly battered fish with hand-cut chips, and hearty pies with homemade pastry. As a proud free house, we're not tied to any brewery, which means we can hand-pick the finest cask ales from local and regional brewers, alongside a carefully chosen selection of wines and spirits. Whether you're popping in for a quick lunch, settling in for a lazy Sunday roast, or gathering friends in the garden on a summer's evening, The George & Dragon offers honest, delicious food and drink in a setting that's truly special.
