The Dragon

The Dragon The Dragon, is a 150 year old pub with character, charm and a warm welcome! Situated in the heart of Willington village, backing on to the Trent and Mersey
(2815)

Situated in the heart of Willington village, backing on to the Trent and Mersey canal. It has recently been sympathetically extended, renovated and restored with the introduction of a new 70 seater restaurant, courtyard and dedicated bar area to compliment our fabulous beer garden, on the edge of the canal. There is nowhere quite like The Dragon on a sunny afternoon … we are the area’s favourite d

estination for diners, drinkers, walkers and boaters alike. We serve a superb selection of classic and contemporary dishes throughout the day. Bookings are advised for evenings and weekends but there is plenty of room and plenty of parking with a FREE public car park right next door! There is always plenty to see and do at the dragon including featured dining nights, themed evenings and community events…

We can’t quite believe it’s 1st September tomorrow and another summer is coming to an end. A huge thank you to everyone who’s joined us at The Dragon over the past few months — from sunny afternoons by the canal to drinks, food and evenings in the garden, what a summer it’s been! ☀️

Now we’re looking ahead to autumn, with plenty of events and exciting things coming up that we’ll be sharing very soon.

And dare we say it… Christmas! 🎄 Our festive bookings are now open, so if you’re planning a Christmas get-together, you can get your table booked.
