The Green Dragon is a friendly family-run pub at 126 Guarlford Road, in the countryside just east of the Malvern Hills, which can be admired from the large garden or from the comfort of the conservatory restaurant. Music is a long-standing fixture on the town's grassroots circuit: folk sessions run on Wednesday evenings and on the first Sunday evening of each month, with live music on Saturday nights. The food is all home-cooked on the premises and real ale is served. It is the sort of welcoming country local where players gather for an informal session midweek.
