About
Knighton is a small market town in the lush rolling landscape known as The Marches. Bordering the Welsh county of Powys and Shropshire in England, The George & Dragon is at the heart of this close-knit community and has a fascinating history. Originally a 17th-century coaching inn, the attractive black and white building houses a charming interior that retains many character features including exposed beamed ceilings, mellow stone walls, inglenook fireplaces and aged oak panelling while offering every comfort for the modern day traveller. The old stable block to the rear of the inn has been beautifully converted to offer five delightful en suite bedrooms complete with facilities.
The restaurant has deservedly gained a reputation with locals and visitors alike for its excellent cuisine and is proud to be Wales’ first completely gluten free and dairy free restaurant. The menu also offers vegetarian and vegan options. The head chef and team are passionate about catering for those with dietary requirements and will always endeavour to accommodate special requests. Fresh, seasonal produce is sourced to offer an extensive menu of delicious meat, poultry, fish, seafood, pasta, vegetarian, and vegan dishes, all lovingly created and carefully presented to your table. Commitment to 100% gluten free and dairy free ensures a relaxing and worry-free dining experience for all. The knowledgeable and friendly staff are more than happy to answer questions regarding food preparation and ingredients and to advise on menu choice. Select from Lunch & Light Bites, Bar Menu, A La Carte Menu (appetising starters, delicious mains, irresistible desserts), Vegetarian Menu, and the Little Dragons Menu for children. The renowned Sunday Carvery is also not to be missed! For those special occasions The George & Dragon is also available for private bookings.
The marketing Manager has Coeliac disease herself and works closely with Head chef Malc and the rest of the team.
Coeliac UK meet-ups are also run once a month at the George & Dragon.
