About The Green Dragon Shenfield

The Green Dragon Shenfield occupies a 16th-century pub building on Shenfield Rd in Brentwood. Inside, the space is small and can fill up quickly, with limited seating, while a large outdoor area outside offers a non-smoking section for those who prefer it. The bar pours cask ales including Timothy Taylor's Landlord alongside wine and artisan gins and spirits. Food runs from a Sunday lunch menu to pub classics such as curry, lasagne and sweet potato fries served in a large bowl. Multiple TVs show live football and rugby, and singers and DJs perform on weekends. Service is walk-in, with no reservations taken, and bar service can slow when only two or three staff are working during busy periods. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub.

Customer Review Summary

Live sport on plenty of screens is what several reviewers return for, with rugby on inside and football outside. Friendly bar staff come up repeatedly, along with a large outdoor area. Food earns praise too, including curry, lasagne, a very large bowl of sweet potato fries and a Sunday lunch one reviewer recommends, while drinkers mention nice cider and Timothy Taylor's Landlord. The complaints are specific. One reviewer says drinks were painfully slow with only two or three bar staff on a sunny Saturday afternoon. After the refurbishment, another finds the inside smaller, with fewer seats and no longer relaxing, and one calls the woman running the place rude. Two report food problems: a diner who booked a midday table for a father in law's 91st birthday was told no food would be served because the sun was shining, and another says the kitchen shut before the advertised 8pm.

    “The rudest woman ever runs this place and clearly thinks she can have some authority over younger girls. Wouldn’t give my last penny to this pub! In future if you’re sign states food is open until 8pm don’t shut it before this time because you cannot handle a busy bar!”

    “Nice pub, friendly staff, a great outdoor area, and the largest bowl of sweet potato fries I've ever seen. But painfully slow to get served a drink (only 2-3 bar staff on a sunny April Saturday afternoon).”

    “I booked a table to eat here today. Arrived to celebrate my father in laws 91st birthday to be told that no food would be served as the sun was shining. We could have waited until 2pm to have pizza but the table I booked was for midday. Not sure what the sun shining has to do with serving food? We were not the only people this happened to. Whatever the reason the staffs attitude was awful. Only ate here once before where food was good but service was shocking, won’t be coming back again.”

    “Rather small inside space gets packed not many seats, good music and social space for all ages but a lot of younger people on some nights. Lovely drinks and reasonable prices. Would come back”
