Amazing Thai food!
- Claire (28th Sep 2016 - 21:02:09)

Seriously good food at The Green Dragon pub. Had an amazing meal last night with great service. They were so attentive and accommodated my request for a slightly hotter pad Thai!! So impressed but can't understand why it was so quiet? Please go there, seriously good food, great beer and staff are so keen to please! I'm going there every Tuesday from now on :)

It may be quiet because families cannot go. Whether you like children there or not the fact remains that families bring a lot of custom to other local pubs. It is a real shame as if the number of customers doesn't increase the pub will fail again.

I went to the Deers Hut on Tuesday and it was also quiet, I guess that's Tuesday nights at the pub for you. I wouldn't have though the no under 10 rule would have any impact on the visitor numbers on a mid week evening!!!

Three of us went for lunch at the GD on Tuesday - and had an excellent time & meal. Very good.

My family ate there on Tuesday and agree with Claire 100%.
The food is excellent and great value, when compared to the likes of the Deer Hut & Links.
Certainly serves the best pint of ale, and the staff are great.
I'm sure the under 10 rule is flexible if children are well behaved.
I do hope the word is spreading fast and the Dragon goes from strength to strength.

I also ate at the Green Dragon in a party of five on Tuesday evening and agree the food, service and ambience were great.

Personally, I think it is a good thing that children under 10 are not allowed, it is so much nicer to be in a 'grown up only' pub. There are plenty of eating options for families with young children in the area.

Keep up the good work Green Dragon!

Was obviously quite busy on Tuesday in actual fact. I've recently eaten there twice - great experience on both occasions. A great asset to Liphook in my opinion.

Thank you so much for all you lovely comments. Just to let you know that our wonderful Thai chef is going to do lots more yummy food ( I know how yummy they are as I am her guinea pig :-) ). Hope to see you all soon.

I totally agree with Suz D. I had 3 children and while they had my undivided attention during the day (I was one of the rare beings, a full time housewife) the last thing I wanted was to take them out with us in the evening. Even during the day I would avoid children friendly pubs because although I appreciate there are many well behaved children, there always the few who spoil the ambience for the many. The parents of the badly behaved either just seem not to care or not to notice how their children's unsocial behaviour impinges on others who are out to have a quiet drink and/or a meal. It is not cheap to eat out and all most people want to do is to enjoy and relax. The times I have been in the Green Dragon to enjoy their delicious cuisine it has been busy and I would not be going there regularly if it was not "child free". As Suz D says there are plenty of "child friendly" pubs in Liphook.
I would just add before anyone mentions it that of course there are badly behaved adults as well and they usually get barred!

I can't see how the under 10 rule had any impact, in fact there was a family next to us with two behaved children having a birthday tea. The host brought out a cake with candles and was really welcoming. It's definitely a family pub just clearly don't want primary age kids which I think is a nice change. I have two kids aged 9 and 12 and have eaten there a few times without any issue.

Their target market is not families with young kids, that's fair enough.

I think that sometimes those parents with young children who take them out with them do so not because they really cannot stand a night out without their children, but they resent having to pay for a baby sitter, so the rest of us have to endure the wailing and screaming babies and toddlers up way past their bed times. The rule of no under 10s is fine, as the above poster says if they are 9 and a half and well behaved then that's fine too! I think that most pubs are quiet on a Tuesday eve, that's why they do special deals.

My family and i ate at the Green Dragon on Tuesday evening. We were the family with two children (under 11 !!) and our teenage daughter. It was my youngest sons birthday. The lady serving both the food and drinks was very welcoming, she even sang happy birthday as she delivered my sons cake!! The food and wine was exceptional and well priced, we all had a fabulous time.

Please visit the Green Dragon. It's such a beautiful pub and in the winter months, i can't think of anything better than sitting by that glorious fire drinking wine and eating delicious Thai food.

Lovely food and nice atmosphere.. We will come back.

I have eaten at the Dragon and the food was great. I would like to say a big thank you to the staff as well, especially Jackie (i think that's her name), she let my dad try all the beers, before he brought a pint and gave it him in a jug. My dad had a lovely evening after coming out of a hospital after a short stay.

Thank you again to all the staff.

Finally got round to trying the Green Dragon last night and very impressed. Thai food delicious, service great, beer a bit pricey but never mind - a nice place to relax and have some excellent food. Will be back.
