English food you say?
Yuck! No thanks!
That was my response on the way into this stylish downtown Phoenix Pub and eatery. BOY WAS I SURPRISED!
Darts and pool tables crowd one side of this undoubtedly British Pub and a separate dining area is opposite. The full menu is available in the pub. Not only was this classically inspired pub affordable but the food selection and quality was simple and amazing. Tender meats with HUGE portions really make George and Dragon a place for The Hungry Man!
Fish and Chips, Bangers and Mash, a Scotch Egg (under 10 bucks a meal) and all the staples of an everyday British Pub (having been to England 5 times). Of course my personal favorites are the English Pasty (8.99) or the layered and oh so filling Shepard’s Pie (filled with tender beef, a meaty gravy and some of the best mashed taters you could ask for, Cheese is optional).
Some would say that the 9.99 Sunday Roast is the best part of G&D and they may be right. Huge portions of Roast Beef with all the trimmings thrown in with more mashed taters and the best Yorkshire pudding this side of Atlantic!
Now if you’re really adventurous you could try the Spotted Dick for desert (the one menu that is lacking). I personally don’t have the taste buds to really enjoy the currants and custard (hot) but from what I am told it’s pretty authentic.
Many people go to this Phoenix hot spot for one thing, THE BEER!
Over 100 selections to choose from, including many foreign labels and old favorites make G&D the drinking mans heaven.
If you’re a World Cup fan, WELCOME HOME!
