Sadly I went on a Tuesday when the kitchen staff have a day off. So had a liquid lunch (Fuller's London Pride) and a couple of packs of salt and vinegar crisps. Lovely atmosphere and pleasant place to spend an hour or so.
Visited on a Saturday night and were a little taken aback that the pub was so empty. We had booked a table for four and all was well, till we tried to order, only to find that there was no steak available and the spicy burger was also out of stock. The service was OK but nothing special. There was zero atmosphere as by 20.30 the pub was completely empty. Not quite sure what is going on, but sadly won't be rushing back.
Very mediocre roast, especially for the price. It’s not a flex you can fit it all underneath a Yorkshire pudding. The beef was soft, plentiful and somewhat flavoursome, but the rest was poor. Four tiny incredibly soft roast (?) potatoes and the gravy was extremely thin, oily and salty. The other veg was unimaginative i.e. could do better at home. My partner’s roast gammon, looked more like a gammon steak. It’s a shame as I’ve passed this pub many times and I’ve always wanted to visit.
Excellent service and the food was amazing! The restaurant is spacious, beautifully presented with a cosy log fire. Staff friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you for making our 40th Birthday meal so special - we loved it!
I have driven past this pub for around 10 years, always thinking I will pop in one day. Visited last Thursday. Great pub with a relaxed and welcoming feel to it. Good selection of non alcohol beers (t-total since 27th Dec....an extension to Dry January!) looking to go back very soon and sample the meals on offer.
Great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere in this historic pub. Would have give it 5 stars, but dropped one as there's no heating, just an empty fireplace, at least that was the case in the newer rear area at lunch on Sunday, so wear plenty of warm clothes and be prepared to have to keep your beanie on inside while eating!
Food was great Servers were friendly But the manager (I assume). Man who stands behind the bar, was rude as soon we walked in, made us really uncomfortable and the atmosphere odd as we were sat right next to the bar where he was. Not sure if he was just having a bad day, but don’t take it out on customers
Lovely pub! Very nice food! Very welcoming.
Exemplary customer service that serves you like a warm hug from a loved one. Was greeted warmly by the staff, and they try to make you as comfortable as possible. Stuart and Milla were friendly, accommodating - and because it was the Euro Women’s Final, Stuart even went as far as to set up a TV just for us to enjoy the game in the back room (they had a large flatscreen in the front bar area). The Sunday Roast lamb meal was fabulous, albeit let down a bit by the flat yorkies, but the tenderness of the lamb is sublime. They have Fullers on tap, and because I am a pale ale drinker, the Sticky Wicket is the way to go. Good recommendation by Milla. Dessert was okay, because the Belgian waffle was slightly underdone in the middle, but the excellent caring service more than made up for it! Overall top marks for the entire team at The Greyhound! Will return again if I am back in the UK!
