Greyhound in North East Derbyshire

Greyhound Higham excellent host for Higham Hill Race. Very friendly, helpful and supportive.

The food is excellent and the staff are so friendly.Just like a good pub and restaurant should be.

Very enjoyable meal not crowded together

Recently hosted a retirement meal here. Everyone had a great time. We were allowed to decorate the area prior to everyone's arrival with no issues. The food was lovely and considering the size of the party was quick service and delivered hot. All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble I would definitely recommend. Thank you for making us all welcome.

I knoewhen I order my steak well done chefs don't like it, but that's my choice so don't send it out black!, and £20 for a small piece of steak half tomato and few fries, crazy!

Called for lunch on Monday.All girls were amazing, really looked after us and made us feel welcome. Food was delicious lunch menu is great value for money. Will be back thank you

Amazing from start to Finnish staff very friendly and attentive

My partner and I went for Sunday lunch! Although the beef dinner was nice there wasn’t much of it for the price! We used to visit the greyhound regular for meals but won’t be bothering again! It seems since the refurbishment you get less food for a lot more money!

Fish tasty lovely soft moist not try .. beautiful .. batter crispy and not greasy at all..... spot on delicious Pie fantastic and filled to the brim piping hot and very favorable... Defo be having these again well worth every penny Never a bad meal yet 😋

Well booked a table here for 2 people arrived ontime was offered a choice of 2 tables 1 was like a coffee table with half decent seats but you wouldhave been eating your food on your knee the other looked as if it has been brought from the outside, it was 2 hard metal chairs and 1 round patio type table. No others were available so decided to refuse both and cancel booking

Expensive for a chain pub, although food was nice. Service could have been much better and quicker as our server kept disappearing and seemed disinterested. Not sure we’d go back based on the prices and service.

Very friendly and helpful staff, great food for a reasonable price

Best restaurant in the area by far. Really friendly staff, great food, reasonable prices. Brilliant atmosphere. Come here now every 2 weeks. Can't recommend it enough.

Despite the staff being very busy they got to us promptly explained there was a wait to allow chefs to get out quality meals. The staff are friendly and nothing is to much trouble excellent meal brilliant friendly staff what more could anyone want

I find the surroundings and staff excellent. Would maybe like a bit more choice as i donot eat red meat tho what i have had is always well presented and nice.

When I worked at Somercotes a friend and I used to meet regular for the rotisserie food , After the refurb the chain introduced a new more expensive menu so it became more of a special treat for us rather than a regular meet up for tea place. Although its more expensive than most pub menus we have never had a bad meal here so despite I'm now working a lot further away we do meet here occasionally Last night we had a 30% off mains voucher so we made the effort to travel and it was worth it we both had the kebabs and they were amazing but at £15.95 each for just the main course its not something we can afford to do regular

Came here yesterday, the food , service , atmosphere and company was amazing! Will definitely be back very soon. Thank you.

The staff where a credit to the Greyhound to say Ashley was very good down to when she had to tell us they had ran out of two foods we had ordered on both visits. They had obviously had a very busy weekend with food

The Greyhound was a great place to eat a year or two ago but today's visit was disappointing. The hunters chicken has become a schnitzel and was off the menu. I ordered fish and chips. The six chips were raw and the over cooked batter almost inpenetrable, shattering all over the place. The servers were kind and attentive and took heed of dietry requirements well. One bought me fresh chips immediately and only 1/6 were raw this time. The beef looked like it had been carved way beforehand and was grisley. The new lamb dish had lamb pies on it which were unspectacular from a flavour point of view. We did get a promotional discount offer taken off our bill for mains, but were not hugely encouraged to go again very soon I'm afraid 😑

We have been coming here for a good number of years and it’s improved a lot. A very friendly place made so welcome. Service was quick and the food was absolutely delicious. Will highly recommend

We stopped at The Greyhound for an impromptu lunch on Friday 14 March. The service was very good and we were seated quickly and our waitress was friendly and accommodating . The food was delicious and arrived piping hot. The chips were a let down but then nearly everywhere we go the chips are a let down but I'm not taking away from my 5 star rating as everything else was lovely. I always wish restaurants would cook proper chips as that would have truly elevated our meals but even so, we will definitely be coming back 😊

A lovely birthday meal, not always prompt with service but we were a big group. Food was lovely just some bits overcooked/ forgotten

Wonderful food and very good service

Staff were friendly and professional and the food was great quality and delicious

Friendly staff made to feel comfy perfect food

Really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Great food, staff and atmosphere!

Brilliant pub! Lovely surroundings and lovely atmosphere. Our go to pub now 😄😄

Lovely pub and staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food is also very good. Dog friendly pub which is great for us as we like to relax and have a drink after a dog walk. Ash was especially good to us, making sure we had everything needed.

Food was outstanding and the staff were very accommodating.

Welcoming staff and very helpful. Food was well presented and was very tasty.

Great vegan options; tasty food and prompt, friendly service. We had a lovely dinner.

A great pub for both food and drinks! Jason and the team (especially Ashleigh) have made this a great place to go. Would highly recommend.

We dropped in for a Friday pub tea about 7ish. The place was full with a nice atmosphere. We were lucky to find a cozy sofa tucked away for drinks but not suitable for eating at. We ordered fish and chips and were told there was a 25min wait for food which was fine. When a couple moved on having finished their meal a table became available. Food arrived much sooner than expected and it was delicious! We both agreed it was cooked beautifully and could not fault any part of the meal. On my husbands 2nd pint of beer it was the last in the barrel and he was not charged. It was actually pretty OK. The staff were friendly and attentive throughout making sure that we had an enjoyable experience. We would definitely recommend eating here.

Food good service by Imogen excellent

Food was delicious and the staff were friendly

Great atmosphere, brilliant friendly staff who go over the top for you, food is amazing, best pub around!

The surroundings were very comfortable and plenty of space between tables for privacy. The food was excellent and so was the service. We will definitely be coming back

Nice atmosphere, Ceaser salad only had 1 x large lettuce leaf no other salad no tomatoes onions or olives as stated not a salad at all would not recommend chicken breast cut into strips rather dry

Friendly & helpful staff, beautiful food and a good offer using a discount code.

Great service by Ashley but hardly any food left on the menu so very limited choice especially GF choices. Burger came in 2 slices of bread (surely you can buy in GF burger buns) otherwise was a tasty burger... Staff were lovely though

Had a lovely evening at the Greyhound Higham for my Mums 90th Birthday. Absolutely delicious buffet, all of the team super friendly. Thank you so much xx

Good sized car park, friendly staff & reasonably priced. Food also lovely

Staff all very friendly helpful and quick. Food all lovely. Lots of space doesn't feel cramped.

Upon arrival the place looks excellent, inside is well looked after and very clean, was impressed. Staff very nice and friendly could not fault them For food we had halloumi fries for starter which were great, loved the presentation too. However for the mains we had a vegetable Thai red curry which was very watery and not much flavour and the rich beef lasagne which a lot of the meat was hard and can tell it had been overdone in a microwave. Not very flavourful too for a "rich beef" lasagne, however the garlic bread it comes with was to die for. Overall experience was okay.

Genuinely a great time, rolled up for the quiz night and was a blast, normal drinks price and the food, just yes! Caramel Tart was on point, just everything needed. Great atmosphere, great staff and a great night.

Absolutely amazing experience, no trouble for staff. Quick service and lovely food. Will definetly be back

Loved it all, new menu, very similar to old one, but so good. Sea bass with prawns and instead of new potatoes, served with diced saute potatoes the sauce was sooo delicious, definitely still a winner imo 😋👍

Service time not acceptable,wasent even told there was a long wait for food ,this meal was pre booked for a 70th birthday party and they had ran out of steak etc ,both main and starter came at the same time,very poor service indeed

You will not be disappointed. Great food and friendly staff.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Very satisfied with our experience.

Always drop in for lunch when over this way on a Sunday, never been let down. Also had 80th birthday family gathering and they were brilliant.

Lovely Sunday lunch - very tasty, high quality, plentiful and at a great price. The staff are very friendly & helpful, the pub has a warm & welcoming atmosphere and is situated in pleasant surroundings.

There was 12 of us who came for my birthday on 15/02/2025.Staff were very helpful and friendly, especially one lady but didn't get her name who went above and beyond and had a laugh with us.All the food came out hot and altogether . Couldn't fault anything.

Staff really friendly and helpful and the food was gorgeous.

Tried the greyhound at Higham only because 30% off mains. Excellent pedigree on draught. Food is very good. Good front of house. We will be back even without the 30% off. 5 big stars.

Food was excellent...staff friendly and very helpful and most of all they were very honest...I would go again and highly recommend to everyone

Quite some time since I last visited the greyhound, and was quite disappointed on that occasion, but wow, what a difference this time. Food was excellent, staff were friendly and I left very happy. Food was some of the best pup food I have had for a long time. Tasted like it was home made, with lovely touches such as the tasty roast Carrots and really chunky apples in the crumble. Will be back soon.

It was a little cold sat in the draft from the door and toilets. The lovely ladies moved us to a different table which was lovely and cosy. Food was fabulous from the starters if pate, and soup. Bowls and plates were so warm. Our mains were delicious. My other half had dessert the chocolate bomb, he loved it. I was far too full. Whole experience - a very lovely evening. Will definitely be back.

Four of us went for lunch on Saturday 15th February. Brilliant friendly service and really good proper pub menu. Two of us had the tikka masala, the others the chicken and leek pie and the lasagne which were all lovely. The desserts and the coffee were also excellent. We would recommend this place to anyone who wants the proper pub experience with a few extras.

Avoid if possible, food is cold & they rush you to get the next booking in, drink prices, expensive, more like city prices, so try elsewhere if possible, spoke to staff, but not interested !

Lovley food and place to have a drink staff really friendly x

Nothing to complain about at all, food, staff and venue were great

Excellent service by friendly and efficient staff. Even though we were a large group of 20, we were well looked after and food was delivered quickly. Excellent food, great menu.

Edit....... A new menu should not be tested on paying customers. A small discount should have been offered when something is sub standard. Normal procedure is to be asked how your meal is a few mins after you receive it and not when you have finished.......When you get asked how your meal is when you have finished and you say the garlic bread is inedible and all you get is thanks for your feedback we will let the kitchen know 😠 bad customer service as now won’t return or recommend to anyone. A small part of the meal but a big part of the whole going out experience spoiled.

We have been several times to the greyhound and on this occasion we was very disappointed. We had 3 children dining and had to ask for colouring crayons to go with their menu/activity sheet. When they eventually found them they were all broken. We then asked for a sharpener and they didn’t have one. All they could offer was 3 wax crayons (2 the same colour) and 1 biro pen. This has been an ongoing issue when we have come. I think this is a small cost to get more crayons and a sharpener. We had been an hour and half and only drinks and starters had been served. We had to chase the main courses. The kids garlic bread starter was hardly anything. Wouldn’t be enough for a toddler. The starter of chicken tenders were not tenders. It was a cut up chicken schnitzel that had no flavour. When the mains eventually came the main chicken schnitzel had no flavour either. The signature burger was described to have brisket on it but what we actually got was more like a chilli on it. Gravy on the kids sausage mash, lamb duo pie and beef and Merlot pie was just discoloured water. When we asked for a thicker gravy they brought out the southern fried gravy which was not nice to have with those dishes. The chicken burger we had to ask for a new cob as it had been left under the heat lamp for far too long so was rock solid. We did decide to have dessert permitting it wouldn’t take too long as 2 of the children were very tired (been there nearly 2 and half hours). Asked to have the apple and cherry crumble with pouring cream and it was told this was no issue to then at the point of serving desserts saying they actually couldn’t do it. This resulted in this dessert being cancelled and no other dessert ordered. Staff apologised for the wait and took 20% off the bill but this did not make up for what we was expecting. The Greyhound was chosen for a birthday celebration (even mentioned at time of booking) and no effort was made to make us feel it was an occasion and left with very disappointing food. Value for money was certainly not there either as recently dined at the Chilled Pubs chain for another birthday and worked out better value, better food and better service. Really disappointed and don’t think we shall be coming back any time soon.

Great landlord friendly staff lovely place highly recommended

Lovely place with lovely food, Cauliflower wings and fish and chips amazing. Staff are amazing and absolutely brilliant at their jobs so friendly. Thank you sophie abbie and Jason

We come at least once a week, amazing food love the lasagne with the new garlic bread. Staff friendly and helpful nothing ever too much trouble my favorite place to eat

Great service great food nice warm welcome and a pleasure to be at the greyhound

The new lunch menu is fantastic.

Good food and staff were very friendly and worked hard. A bit cold and drafty sitting near the single glazed windows in the winter.

Lovely food, Danielle was very nice and helped us with our food. 🥰

We had a lovely meal at the greyhound pub, we had an amazing server Danielle absolutely great customer service and help with our table

Had a great time recently for a family meal, good food and service (supplied by Danielle). Would recommend for a quality dining experience.

Food - cold or not available on the menu Service - rude and slow Atmosphere - seated in the bar rather than the restaurant as requested. Too noisy to even have a conversation. Sat on very low down arm chairs which were not suitable for eating a meal. Very over priced.

Booked a table previously. Ordered food, after 75 mins asked where it was, told 5 mins. After 5 mins asked again, another 45 mins. So we left and got our money back.

Excellent service from all staff, with good food. Good pub atmosphere 👌 👍

Very disappointed. The food portion sizes not great. The fish and chips very poor. Only 5 chip's. The fish was only batter. Mushy peas dry.. not worth the money. Drinks well over priced. No discount. Sad to say I will not be returning. The party was 16 of us. We all agreed.

The best restaurant we have visited for polite attentive staff. The food is also very good and hot when served. We will definitely be back.

We had Sunday lunch here today and the meal and service was very good. When I went to pay I noticed on the til screen it said blue light card welcome. When I asked the young man if I could use my card he was very apologetic and said I could only use it if I had the app. Unfortunately my phone will not let me download the app so a suggestion is that you make it clear you can only use the blue light app at your restaurant not the card. Thank you.

Wonderful, staff lovely, food great

Firstly The Greyhound is easy to find because it's on the main road and very well lit up. Parking up was easy as the car park is huge. We were welcomed by the greeter and led to our table. There are different areas to the restaurant with a central bar area. The atmosphere was relaxed and soothing and the smell of food was delightful. There was a slight delay for the food but with with so many covers that was to be expected on a Saturday night. Eating was a pleasure because the food was top notch and was also well presented. The staff were all cheerful and helpful. I will happily recommend this place to anyone and will certainly be coming again.

Lovely place, lovely food, great service, we had a nice evening, would definitely recommend, even though it was busy we didn't wait too long at all

Seriously, didn't expect the high quality of food and service that we enjoyed, I requested a quiet table in the corner which is exactly what the staff made so we got and although this is some distance from my home, I can't wait to go back.

We have just returned from The Greyhound after organising and attending a funeral wake for a close family member. Jason and his team were professional and reassuring right from the initial meeting. We felt confident that they would fulfil our wishes, but oh my word, they absolutely excelled them. They had prepared the seating and buffet tables exactly as requested, and when the food was brought out, we were blown away! Everything was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and delicious. There was such a variety of different hot buffet items, which made it stand out by far, compared to other wakes we have attended over the years. There was plenty of food to go round, and the staff kindly boxed up the leftovers for the family to take home. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, and the ambience was one of warmth and coziness - perfect for a cold, January day. The funeral director recommended The Greyhound to us, and we’re so glad that she did. We’ve just arrived home, and couldn’t be happier with the service and food we received. Thank you so much to Jason and his wonderful team 🙏

Friendly helpful staff serving good food means we return frequently to the Greyhound

Not ate here yet , but always call in for a hot choc while my son is at his club . Staff really friendly , always do their best to help you

Visited the greyhound for the first time this week and I have to say omg the customer service was the best I’ve ever experienced in my whole life there was a gentleman and a lady that served us and words do not express how happy they was they made me feel very happy please go and experience this xx

Excellent meal along with the Lovely staff really enjoyed our visit will definitely be going back there

Visited today for the first time since lockdown. So many changes and all for the better. The staff were attentive, warm and friendly and the service was great. We had planned on having the 3 course lunchtime deal, but were too full for dessert. The fish goujons were both delicious and much larger than expected. This will definitely not be the last time we visit. Well done team Greyhound

Excellent food as always. Good range of menu choices. All the staff are friendly and have excellent customer service skills.

I recently visited The Greyhound and had a lovely experience. The pub has a warm and inviting atmosphere, and the staff were very friendly. The food was enjoyable, with the halloumi fries being a standout – perfectly crispy and absolutely delicious! My brother and I both ordered them, and we highly recommend them. I also tried the sticky chicken, which had a beautifully flavoured sauce, though the chicken itself was a little on the dry side. My brother had the buttermilk chicken tenders, and while they were tasty, they too were slightly dry. Despite that, we had a great time overall, and I’d happily return if I’m ever in the area again. It’s a great spot for a relaxed meal with fantastic service.

I had a very nice Hunters Chicken. Excellent service.

Waited nearly 2 hours for food won't be going again

Went as a party of 12,advertised as a 30% discount with a voucher, on arriving told voucher can only be used with a party of 8 people we asked if we could split down into 2 tables of 6 people ,we were told this wasn't possible An absolute joke ,as we were leaving more people were complaining about not being able to use to 30% discount as to many people in the party.foid pretty basic nothing to shout about,we won't be returning.

A special place for us but always a pleasure food is amazing and staff are friendly

Having driven past for over 3 years, we have been eager to visit. The outside gives the illusion of an independent pub with a cosy atmosphere and lovely home cooked food. We were very disappointed that the standard of food was the same as any chain pub. The staff seemed very unhappy to serve (which I can understand during the Christmas season, but it definitely brought the experience down.) The price of our drinks was ludicrous (£4 for a Pepsi Max!). We visited at lunchtime and the pub was by no means busy. We were told on entering it would be a 30 minute wait for food, but it didn’t take that long. I can’t imagine we will be visiting again.

Firstly the staff were very friendly, attentive and professional. To receive a smile on arrival makes such a difference. The food was served in good time, piping hot with good helpings. We really enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back again.

First time in there since the refurbishment. Great meal totally recommend 👌

Lovely pub just what we needed.
