George & Dragon Acton occupies a restored historic inn on Acton High Street, with dark wood, original features and several distinctive bar areas. Its long association with brewing remains visible in the building, while a broad beer selection anchors the modern pub experience. Live music, comedy and other events give the venue an active evening identity beyond its food menu.
The kitchen begins with sharing plates such as pork ribs, salt and pepper squid, butterfly prawns, chicken wings, vegetable spring rolls and pork dumplings. Chicken or prawn satay, vegetable gyoza and prawn toast add further choices, while tom yum and coconut based tom kha soups can be ordered with chicken, prawns or mushrooms. These smaller dishes work as starters or as a mixed table order.
Thai main courses include green, red and Massaman curries, served with chicken, prawns or tofu and jasmine rice. Pad Thai, pad see ew and pad kee mao offer contrasting noodle styles, while basil stir fry, sweet and sour dishes, fried rice and fish in chu chee sauce extend the choice. Several preparations can be made with tofu and vegetables, giving meat free diners more than one route through the menu.
Beef and vegetarian burgers, fish and chips and simple sides preserve the British pub element alongside the Thai kitchen. Sharing platters make group ordering straightforward, and the bar supports the food with cask ale, craft beer, wine, spirits and alcohol free drinks. The result is a flexible local venue for dinner, drinks, live music or a casual gathering in one of Acton’s most characterful buildings.
