Welcome to the dragon
The dragon, is a 150 year old pub with character, charm and a warm welcome, in the heart of Willington village backing on to the Trent and Mersey canal. It has recently been sympathetically renovated and restored and the introduction of our new beer garden at the back of the dragon, on the edge of the canal, is a big hit with locals and visitors. There is nowhere quite like it on a sunny afternoon. the dragon is the area's favourite destination for diners, drinkers, walkers and boaters alike. We really hope to see you there sometime.

The Derby Telegraph have visited us undercover twice and wrote how they really enjoyed their visits.
"Your spy went for an old favourite, beer battered haddock and chips, which was imaginatively presented on a wooden board with a fake newspaper under the fish. The chunky and simply perfect chips accompanying the meal were served in a mini fat fryer. It looked delightful and was just as good to eat." "Secret Service felt that the prices of our main courses pretty good value, especially considering the amount of food served".
