The Green Dragon
The Green Dragon, Salisbury, SP5 3AW
At a glance
A smarter village pub-restaurant on Old Road in Alderbury, about three and a half miles south-east of Salisbury — a more refined gastro menu (carpaccio, cured salmon, dauphinoise, crème brûlée), with a garden and reservations.
Gluten-free options
Nothing on the pub's new June 2026 menus is labelled gluten-free, but the pub itself has told us gluten-free options are available — Tia at the Green Dragon confirmed it by email and sent the new menus so this entry could be written from them. Reading those menus, the likeliest candidates to adapt are the salads (crispy duck, smoked chicken chop, hot-smoked salmon — croutons and dressings aside), the ploughman's with the bread swapped or skipped, and simpler mains such as the burger without its bun. The kitchen decides dish by dish, so treat the menu as a starting point for a conversation rather than a list of safe choices.
Before you order
The menus carry an advise-your-server line but no gluten-free symbols and no published allergen guide, so every order runs through a staff conversation. The tempura battered fish and chips is not a gluten-free dish here, and whether the chips and fries share its fryer has not been established — ask before ordering anything fried. The Sunday roasts are not marked gluten-free either: they come with Yorkshire pudding and gravy as standard, so whether a roast can be plated gluten-free is a kitchen question, not a menu promise. Booking ahead and saying coeliac gives the kitchen its best chance to look after you.
Worth asking?
Which dishes can the kitchen do gluten-free today — and is there an allergen guide I can see? Are the chips and fries cooked separately from the tempura battered fish? Can a Sunday roast come without the Yorkshire pudding and with gluten-free gravy?
What this means for coeliacs
The pub has confirmed directly, by email, that gluten-free options are available, and supplied its current June 2026 menus — but the menus carry no gluten-free marking and no cross-contact or fryer detail, so which dishes are adaptable and how they are kept separate rests entirely on the conversation with the kitchen.
