The Dragon

A modern country pub for food lovers

Deep in the middle of St Leonards Forest, in the ancient village of Colgate, lies the Dragon — a fine example of a contemporary, food-led country pub. Winner of the 2019 Best Business Idea at the Business Partnerships Awards, this newly renovated pub has stripped-back walls, a large terrace and garden, handcrafted furniture and a beautifully decorated orangery; making it ideal for all occasions.

The food offer is centred on its robata charcoal grill. With a searing, smoky influence, the meat dishes are exquisitely crafted and they complement a selection of freshly prepared specials and comfort food classics. On the side of the pub is a delightful produce shop selling hard-to-find ingredients, artisan products and fresh vegetables. A fantastic spot for local and visiting foodies alike.
