This pub has so much potential but it's so painfully overpriced and service is so poor - we keep giving it another go and then remembering why we avoid it.We visited with 3 adults and 2 small kids - they are definitely kid friendly and have high chairs etc but kids meals are £10+.Firstly the issue with our visit was service - they are friendly but the staff are v you f and inexperienced. Our waitress had to go back to the bar twice to check which ales they had on tap.We ordered some bread just to keep the baby occupied as he was getting a bit chatty and we were charged £11 for that. There was a lot of bread but it was poor quality / stale (kids ate it, but adults didn't) and one individual portion of butter came with it.The service was slow considering there were only 4-5 tables to serve and there were a few mistakes: wrong chips served (fine, whatever), a pint served instead of the half requested (I didn't say anything as I knew it would take another half hour to fix), charged for the more expensive beer w/o being told.When my husband queried this he was just met with a lot of attitude so it wasn't worth the bother.Never again (until another two years and we forget how awful it is)On the plus side, the food is fairly decent it's just not decent enough for the price. The prices suggest this is a "special" place for lunch when it's just not.Kid-friendliness: High chairs, relaxed. £10 for a kids meal not including drink or pudding.

We hosted my husband’s 30th birthday here and it was a great night. We had a finger food buffet with a mix of meat and veggie options, everything was very good and many people made a point to say the food was great. The staff were all so friendly and attentive and the back area was very spacious, perfect for 30 people.

Service was really poor. We were a group of 5, eating lunch on a quiet thursday, and each ordered one plate. Despite the fact that we'd said we wanted all the food at the same time, the people who'd ordered just starters got their food 15 mins before everyone who had a sandwich/main so half our table was waiting hungry (and it would have been obvious if the staff had been paying attention).The food was nice and the building/location is gorgeous, but we've had slow service here before and it's a shame, this could be such a nice place.

We held a meeting in the meeting room, staff were very helpful in assisting setting up the IT.The food was fantastic, good selection and very generous helpings.Dietary restrictions: good selection for Gluten free guests

The service started off great with a warm and friendly manner but once our food was served it ended there. There was no check in to see how our meal was and no further drinks offered, so really they are losing money here by not offering as myself and my partner would have had another. The food was alright, despite the high prices it was just alright.

What a fabulous afternoon celebrating our parents diamond wedding anniversaryWe were seated in the cellar room area which was perfect as it felt quite private enabling guests to mingle and catch up with family and friends.We weren’t rushed at all, in fact we were able to stay at the tables for much longer than allocated, Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were so attentive and friendly checking we all had everything we needed.The food was delicious I think most guests went for the roast dinners which were huge!My sons gave a thumbs up to the fish and chips and the burgers went down a treat too!Thank you so much to Miya and the team we will definitely be back soon!

Went here last Sunday for lunch. Thought we’d revisit it after having had a poor experience 2 years ago. Unfortunately it was no better. I wanted a roast but they couldn’t offer me gf gravy. There are other local pubs that have accommodated this, no problem. So I chose the plaice fillet which at £25 was shocking…There was no meat at all ( I struggled to scrape 4 mouthfuls of flesh), barely a scoop of mash and 5 slices of courgettes plus a tablespoon of damp watercress. The dish was tasteless. I specifically asked the waitress if I could eat the mash as I’m df and she said yes, but it tasted of butter?! My partner ordered the pork belly which was more expensive than other pub roasts and less food!We sat in the cellar which was pleasant enough, but struggled to see the menu as there was no light above our table.I left hungry and so disappointed. We will NEVER ago back. For such a high end pub the fact you cannot make basic substitutes for intolerances yet charge extortionate prices for tiny portions is disgraceful. Such a shame.I phoned as manager advised in the reply.. was told someone AnnMarie ? Would call back. She didn’t! You clearly don’t care.Dietary restrictions: They won’t offer alternatives. You have to just have what is on the menu as it is.

We reserved a table to watch a six nations rugby game which was stated on the reservationUnfortunately we were given a table with no view to a tv screen and as there were no free tables we left .Hopefully we have better luck next week with our table reservation for the final games

Beautiful pub, the food was delicious I came here for my birthday and the service was amazing from both the bar and the restaurant team. I got the beef burger which was delicious. Can’t fault the greyhound the speed of the service was wonderful nothing was to much trouble for them.The hotel room was wonderful home from home. So clean and tidy. The bathrooms also very clean. Thankyou greyhound !! ☺️
What a find !!! The team here are just great, from start to finish. Nothing is too much trouble. The food was delicious and service was really quick. Will be staying here again.

Like this pub, we aren't local so only been a couple of times when visiting. Had the burger, asked for medium to well done bit is was quite rare, the young lady who served our drinks was very friendly and helpful. It's a lovely pub though, so recommend.
