Spring on a Plate: Our New Seasonal Menu Has Arrived

Fresh flavours, local ingredients, and classic pub favourites – done the Green Dragon way.

As the days stretch longer and the hedgerows begin to bloom, there’s a distinct shift in the air – spring has arrived in Herefordshire. And with it comes a fresh burst of energy in our kitchen.

Here at The Green Dragon, we’re celebrating the season with a new menu that blends traditional favourites with bold, seasonal ingredients from the Wye and Frome Valleys. Whether you’re craving something comforting or a little more contemporary, our kitchen has crafted dishes to suit every appetite – all served with our signature country charm.

A Fresh Start to Your Meal

Begin your visit with something light and nostalgic: our Classic Prawn Cocktail pairs plump prawns with crisp baby gem, cucumber ribbons, and a tangy Marie Rose sauce – a timeless favourite, elevated with a modern touch.

Or why not try one of our chef’s seasonal starters, inspired by what’s fresh from our local growers and suppliers this week?

The Mains Event: Hearty, Honest & Flavour-Filled

Of course, no spring menu would be complete without a nod to the classics. Our Beer-Battered Fish & Chips is a pub staple for a reason – golden, flaky, and paired with hand-cut chips, mushy peas, and homemade tartare sauce. Simple, satisfying, and done just right.

For something heartier, try our Duck Cassoulet – a rich, slow-cooked dish with tender duck leg, cannellini beans, and smoky sausage. It’s our homage to rustic French cooking, perfect for those early spring days that still carry a bit of a chill.

Vegetarians will love our Spring Vegetable Risotto, made with the season’s best – asparagus, peas, mint, and a touch of lemon for brightness, finished with aged Parmesan and a drizzle of herb oil.

Craving something from the grill? Our Hereford Fillet Steak and Sirloin Steak are both sourced just a few miles away from trusted local farms. Cooked to your liking and served with triple-cooked chips, garlic-roasted tomatoes, and a choice of sauce – it’s Herefordshire on a plate.

And let’s not forget the crowd-pleaser: our House Burger is stacked high with local beef, melted cheddar, crisp lettuce, pickles, and burger sauce in a toasted brioche bun – messy, marvellous, and made with care.

A Menu That Reflects the Season – and the Region

At The Green Dragon, we believe in letting great ingredients speak for themselves. That’s why every dish on our spring menu is rooted in seasonality and inspired by the surrounding countryside. Our chefs work closely with local producers to ensure everything that lands on your plate is fresh, sustainable, and packed with flavour.

Whether you're popping in for a leisurely lunch, a special evening meal, or a weekend away, our new menu is the perfect excuse to savour the best of the season.
