Greyhound in North East Derbyshire

They were incredible! Amazing food and excellent service - everyone was so lovely and kind! Will definitely be back!

Booking was easy online, staff were very welcoming & helpful and food was delicious. I would be happily recommend The Greyhound to anyone and look forward to visiting again!

Absolutely fantastic! The pub itself is beautiful, the food is fantastic and the service was top notch. Ashley in particular was brilliant. We enjoyed it so much we went back 3 times in our week's holiday!

I had a fantastic experience thanks to an amazing team! The food was absolutely delicious, and the steak was cooked just right. I was so impressed by how welcoming and friendly the staff were—they truly made me feel like part of the family. It's hard to find such warmth and kindness these days!

Amazing from start to Finnish staff very friendly and attentive

Sat in the lovely beer garden, stunning views. Had the signature burgers, delicious. Staff freindly and welcoming. Nice atmosphere will be back.....

Been many times lovey food and dog friendly

Decided to stop off for our tea. Lovely feel about the place, mixed grill and chicken kebab were lovely.

Fabulous food and great service as always - love the atmosphere and the friendly staff

Had a lovely meal here with my partner for her birthday. The food was absolutely lovely! And the staff were amazing! So attentive and kind. Would recommend this place 100%!

Fabulous meal (best steak I've had in a very long while) made even better by the friendly yet professional staff who made our anniversary dinner even more special thank you

Absolutely the best steak meal we have eaten in a long while. The lovely staff were friendly yet professional and made our anniversary meal extra special. Will definitely be coming back again, thank you

We had the most amazing Tom Shepherd pie , it was the nicest pie I’ve ever had. It was Easter Sunday and we hadn’t booked. But the lovely host found us a cosy table for two , and when we mentioned we’d come especially for the pie , she checked for us to make sure they had them , they only had 4 left but she kindly put our order through so we’d get the pie we’d come for. Fantastic food and great staff , would definitely recommend and we’ll be back.

Good food, ample choice at reasonable prices.

The greyhound was recommended by a friend. It's a place I had never been to before so wasn't sure what to expect. When we arrived there was a brass band playing which was lovely and the staff were very attentive from start to finish. The food was superb and we didn't have to wait long from ordering even though the pub was busy. The atmosphere was great, the service even better and will definitely be going again soon. Thank you to everyone at the Greyhound in Higham.

Staff were friendly, place was clean, great selection of drinks. Menu was good, evening set menu also which was good value for what you got. Chicken burger and gravy was lush

I have visited this place several times with family and work colleagues and have previously had a pleasant experience. On this occasion I was visiting with my parents for lunch. I have a number of shareholder discount vouchers, which have hitherto always been accepted at this pub and at other Marston's venues. On trying to order I was surprised to be told that my vouchers were not valid. I queried this and asked to speak to the manager. The young lady stated that she was the manager, and that what I was trying to order was 'already on promotion'. I stated that we had ordered the same thing before without issue and there was nothing on the menu to say these were part of any promotion (We were merely ordering sandwiches and chips) but the manager was not having it, saying that she 'couldn't do anything' and implying that I somehow didn't understand. I stated that I believed her to be incorrect and I would speak to head office. Believing myself to be correct, and feeling somewhat offended by now by the young lady's attitude, (which I would describe as if not rude, then certainly righteous and patronising) we took our leave and dined elsewhere. I have now heard back from head office, who have confirmed to me, in writing, that the vouchers should have been accepted on what we wanted to order. I would suggest that this pub needs some serious management retraining, on both the pub offering and how to speak to customers, as I am in no mind to return at present. For what its worth I have previously found the other staff to have a much more pleasant attitude.

Me & my husband came for a meal last night. The staff we're absolutely brilliant & friendly & the food was gorgeous! I must say it's our new favourite place to come food. Highly recommend

Had a really nice lunch with fantastic service from Ashley and Sam. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Wow ok this isn’t my first review on this place and my first review was very positive, well me and my partner booked a table for today and we arrived sat at the table asked for the Sunday lunch menu and was then told all Sunday dinners have sold out which wasn’t anyone’s fault but we was a bit disheartened anyway we decided to go for steak , I asked for the sauce we want to go with the steak and they was sold out , now just to let you know the two waitresses that dealt with us were amazing they really did a great job but it got worse from there , my partner who is diabetic type one had his rapid jab 10 minutes before the meal arrived as normal and had to eat his because by the time a new one would of arrived his blood would most likely of been to low , I could not eat my steak it was so chewy and inedible very disappointing, I was very polite to the waitresses and they was to me until the manager came over and made me explain again and I was shocked and felt like I should of just eaten my inedible food and been quiet but the manager took my meal and 50% of my partners off the bill and I thought wow ok great , as we walked up to pay I heard the manager say are you dealing with table 19 which was us and her colleague said yes and the manager said ‘ good luck ‘ and I felt very upset and hurt as we have been there a few times and apart from the drinks being overpriced we did enjoy it there but after that comment we feel very let down by the greyhound manager she did not have manager manners or decorum, she behaved immature and disrespectful and I won’t say do not go there I would just say be prepared to be made to feel upset and unimportant

Great food, great service from Debbie, Andy and the other staff members who in turn create a friendly atmosphere. Drop in the Greyhound, you won't be disappointed.

4 of us went for a meal on 12th April with 2 dogs as well. Besides looking after us, they also looked after the dogs by bringing a water bowl and some treats. For those wary about eating with dogs around, there is an area where dogs are allowed.

Lovely meal very hot and excellent service from start to finish especially on a Friday evening. Plenty of staff . All our meals in our party was tasty couldn't fault a thing. Toilet were very clean , as soon as I walked in it had a nice refreshing aroma

Came as a table of 4 adults and a newborn in a pram. The whole atmosphere was lovely inside and outaide thw pub. We sat down at out table and our waitress Debbie was soon with us to take our orders. Debbie made the evening that much more pleasant as she was very friendly and had a bit of a joke with us when ordering about one of us feeling under pressure as everyone else knew what they wanted. Waiting times for food were good and Debbie made sure to check if we were happy with everything, which we were. The food was lovely all 3 courses that we each had.

One the party has garlic intolerance. We couldn't find a meal, that didn't include garlic - even the plain steaks were tenderised with garlic. We suggested fish and scampi, but the batter contained garlic. The soup and prawn cocktail - each contained garlic. We left and went elsewhere!!

Very friendly service and good food

Great time, please give Imogen, Danielle, Tina, Sophie and Matt a fat raise as they were great. Another tenner an hour minimum

Friendly staff; quiet and spacious seating areas; good range of meals on menu; plenty of parking.

Great pub, good food, cold beer and great service

Beautiful building and outdoor seating area. Inside was clean, with plenty of light. The staff were lovely and the food was very good. We had the steak pie, sirloin steak and belly pork burger and they were all lovely if I had to criticise anything it would be that we had to wait for menu's to arrive a little longer than we would expect and the steak was overdone but that wouldn't put us off returning.

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.

Great food, friendly staff and pleasant surroundings

Well this place is on my doorstep but never been for a Sunday roast here.well today we decided to give it a whirl . Having booked the place was really busy with families and a birthday party of people close by . Our lovely server Imogen greeted us with smile and served us our meal. My hats off to the chef for such a tasty Sunday roast, Well done team Greyhound till next time

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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 😊

Wonderful food and very good service

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

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

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.

Friendly staff made to feel comfy perfect food

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

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

Food was outstanding and the staff were very accommodating.

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.

Food was delicious and the staff were friendly

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 😋👍

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

The new lunch menu is fantastic.
