Delicious food, home-grown produce, a warm welcome and lovely bedrooms
Our owner Charles Lowther and his family lovingly restored the George and Dragon in 2008 and it’s now as beloved by locals as it is by visitors to the area. In every way, our roots are embedded deep in the rich history of our surrounding landscape and we’re proud to rear, forage and grow the majority of the ingredients you’ll s

ee on our menus ourselves, on our family farms and within our kitchen gardens at nearby Askham Hall. Eat with us, stay the night - we have 10 bedrooms you can choose from… Each is different, individually designed with furniture and art from Charles’ family’s collection, but all have fabulous beds, lovely linens and en suite bathrooms.

There'll be a free pint or glass of wine for the first person who can name the fell this photo was taken from. It could be in the Lake District, the Eden Valley or on the Pennines. 🍺🍷

Sunday Roasts! 🍖

Take a rest from the cooking this Sunday or the next, we've got tables available for both weekends.

We offer a generous portion of roast meat, crispy roast potatoes, giant Yorkshire puddings, alongside carefully prepared vegetables, served with a boatload of gravy.
For those who don't fancy meat, we always maintain a couple of different veggie and seafood dishes on the menu alongside our roasts.

All of our ingredients for roast dinners come from our own local farms in the Eden Valley and the Lake District, as well as the kitchen gardens at Askham Hall.
Ensuring a delicious meal full of flavour and ingredients that have only travelled a few miles from free-range farms.

Fresh from the Cumbrian & North East coasts to your plate 🌊 🍽️

At George and Dragon, we believe the best seafood comes from the sea to our doorstep in less than 24 hours. We serve the finest catch from our local waters, working hand-in-hand with Cumbrian and North East coast suppliers who share our passion for quality.

From seasonal scallops to line-caught cod, let us bring you a taste of the coast's bounty, fresh as the morning tide. 🐟

Did you know some of our rooms are dog-friendly? 🐕

We absolutely love to welcome your four-legged companions to the George and Dragon Clifton!

While we do need to keep a couple of our bedrooms, the restaurant and kitchen as dog-free areas (for obvious reasons! 🍖), we're very happy for your furry friends to join you in many parts of our establishment.

If you'd like to dine with your dog, simply let us know when you book, and we'll make sure to find the perfect table for you in our reception and bar area. After all, why should your four-legged family member miss out on the fun?

Come and experience our warm hospitality; two-legged and four-legged guests alike are always welcome at the George and Dragon Clifton!

Head Chef Paul is in his element today, meticulously deboning fresh salmon sides for this evening's service.

We'll be serving this beautifully delicate fish alongside buttery new potatoes and a vibrant selection of homegrown vegetables, harvested straight from our very own kitchen gardens at Askham Hall.

There is nothing quite like the taste of ingredients that have travelled only a few yards from soil to plate.

We love the attention to detail in our most recently renovated room by Totty Lowther. It is an elegant space that offers as many eye-catching details as it has modern amenities.

As a reminder, we still have a handful of rooms available to serve as your abode for a night or two during the May half-term.

Scenes like this are beginning to return to the kitchen gardens 🌿

After a long, rain-soaked winter, there’s a quiet sense of arrival in the kitchen garden. Beds begin to stir, the first shoots push through, and suddenly everything feels full of promise again.

We’ve always had a soft spot for the colder months; the frost, the stillness, the drama of it all, but nothing quite compares to that first stretch of warmth, and the flavours it brings with it.

From garden to kitchen, and on to the plates at the George and Dragon, the rhythm of the seasons is something we celebrate every day. Freshly picked, thoughtfully prepared, and best enjoyed in good company.
