The George & Dragon is currently very well supported by the local community and also welcomes visitors to the area who may well be using one of the six exquisitely decorated en-suite letting bedrooms above the trading area. Food is quite popular although there is huge potential for the right licensee to unlock the offer with a traditionally inspired menu to suit the requirements of the overall retail offer. The food is currently good value for money and is served daily. The bar is well stocked with a good range of cask and keg beer as well a great selection of premium spirits and soft drinks which the licensee can choose from an extensive product list. Live music and weekly quiz events have been very popular as has live Sports events which are shown in the sports bar TVs.
Private Accommodation

The pub requires a new licensee that can really get the best out of all of its facilities. The individual or couple should have a good knowledge of Tarvin and the surrounding areas which has quite a diverse customer base. They should be able to amalgamate the main three income stream drivers to really benefit their own profit levels. They will need to efficiently operate the bar, food and letting rooms without compromising on standards and hospitality in order to gain as many return visits as possible. Enthusiasm, honesty, hard work and astute financial acumen are what we think is needed to run this pristine outlet in the Admiral Taverns portfolio.
