Greyhound Inn in Stoke-on-Trent

Great food, lovely staff about 15 min walk from the canal

Visited mid week. Both service and food were excellent.

A recommendation for this establishment. Tucked in the countryside on the outskirts of stafford an stone a very nice building awaits. Very friendly staff greeted us and was pleasantly surprised by the interior. The menu looked scrumptious and the wife and I opted for the steak and guiness pie. The meal was very tasty, but the wife and I had exactly the same opinion. The price was £16.50 each, but for the money was not the greatest amount on the plate. It looked like everything had been measured! I literally had 2 small bits of steak and the portion side was very poor. Shame really as the pie itself was tasty. A little taken back that they was no homemade chips and a small amount of carrots and cabbage finalised the plate. Overall, a nice experience, very stingey on the portion side which was a let down. Would I visit again? Well, yes I would but it just didn't do it for us. Overall a 6/10 for us and it did feel a light bite meal for £16.50.

Hadn't been here for years, is a local though I'd give it a go. The restaurant had been redone up and looked really nice. The staff were really friendly. I had the mixed grill. Steak and liver was over cooked and the chips were bad. I felt the menu was very bog standard but had restaurant prices and food was very average pub quality level. I feel it's selling it's self as a restaurant but it's very average pub quality standards.

Friendly service Food amazing Lovely venue

Great service & great food, will definitely return….

We stumbled across this pub today whilst out for a drive (my birthday) and were delighted we stopped in! Staff were extremely welcoming from the start and welcomed us and our dog with a perfect table in a quiet corner. A great menu selection and both our meals were delicious, served with a wonderful smile. Great outdoor space for the dog to burn off some energy too! We are fairly local so will definitely be going back. Thank you for such a pleasant experience.

Great village pub. Good food, good value and very pleasant. Good selection of beers. We went with friends who go every week. We will be going back. 👍👍👍

We decided to try The Greyhound and were not disappointed, we would definitely come back in the future and the staff were very friendly.

It has been a while since my last visit. Upon arrival, I noticed that the restaurant had a refurbishment, which made it a lot brighter. I couldn't help notice how noisey and echo it sounded with the laminate flooring. We were shown to our table by the waitress who was very polite. The seats were very hard with no cushions this was very uncomfortable for my dad, who had just had an operation 2 weeks ago. The drinks came out, but the milk had been forgotten for my mom's tea, so I had to go to the bar to ask. Dinner was very expensive £16.95 for what you got portion wise. My mom's and partners roast potatoes where very hard and they couldn't seem to cut through them. My son had a steak, which was very chewey and for £24 I wouldn't have expected this. The waitress asked if we would like to see the dessert menu we said yes. 15 minutes passed and you could clearly see that she had forgotten about us. Feeling disappointed, I went to the bar and she then realised the dessert menu. I told her that it was too late and that I wanted to pay the bill. Myself and my family are not big eaters but we have never been to a restaurant where we have walked out hungry.

Just stopped by chance for something to eat, well it turned out marvelous food was superb, we had a seafood linguine and a fish pie both were outstanding will definitely be returning.

Highly recommended great food and friendly service! First visit to this beautiful pub & it’s now on our list for a repeat visit. All meals were plentiful and so tasty. It’s not often you find a pub with food that’s just outstanding. Thank you

Great service and excellent food! Best we’ve had in a long time yummy 😋

I came to the Greyhound Inn with my mum for an evening meal and have always been pleased with the service and food quality. Today was no exception, lovely staff, lovely atmosphere, the food is well priced and of an extremely high quality! Recommend to any and all!

Beautiful food, couldn't fault it. Staff eager to please. Decor and atmosphere in restaurant average, but pleasant and friendly

My friend and I decided on the spur of the moment to visit The Greyhound. I hadn't been there for years. We'd been out, were not really dressed up for such a lovely place. The first impression was how beautiful it is inside. Cosy, comfortable, clean, and well organised with nooks and crannies and a relaxed atmosphere. We were greeted with a smile. I had my dog, so they suggested seating away from other tables where they expected dogs. Very thoughtful. Bundle was then brought her own tray with a bowl of water and a giant doggie biscuit. She was fussed, which endeared them to me even more!! We ordered food and drinks. The menu was well priced and had an excellent range. Not extensive, but definitely something for everyone. We both had chicken papadrelle. We waited only long enough for it to be freshly cooked. It tasted amazing, I've definitely paid far more for food not half as good. We could resist the puddings, actually something we usually don't bother with. Once again, a small but all-encompassing menu of treats. Homemade. The accompanying scoop of ice cream was clearly full cream and local. Beautifully presented. Everything is clearly thought through. No shortcuts. We had wine, something that can be hit and miss in pubs. It was also delicious. We came away promising ourselves we'd make it a monthly treat.

Always serves a good pint locals are very friendly.

Great food, great service, great place

We came here again for Sunday lunch with the family. The atmosphere, service and food is very good. The only thing that I felt needing changing was the size of the plates for the Sunday Lunch roasts. All other meals were served on nice spacious plates, which the plate for roasts was far too small. Please consider this as a few people have commented on this. Thank you.

Delightful pub with cozy corners & nice but small lounge & bar but large open dining room. Menu was varied & reasonably priced. I had Gammon egg pineapple peas & cheesy chips & my partner had the chicken burger. Food was hot & delicious and good portions too. All in all a very nice lunch especially with the Rhubarb cider that we had with it. Would recommend to all.

Absolutely amazing place and people and food even better at a great value for money. Was made to feel like we're at home including the dog. Definitely be going back with the family

I thought it was nicely refurbished and the staff were friendly. Food wise though, I had a mixed grill and ordered the steak rare. The came steak came medium, and the chips were very average. Being to the other two local pubs recently The dog and doublet and the holly bush, They served proper chip shop chips. Between these three pubs they're very much similar in price for what they offer but the quality level of food was better, sorry to say. But I'm sure the Jordan family could easily improve on these.

Delicious food and excellent table service. Thank you. 😀

I attended as part of a large group of 24. I had a starter, main course and a dessert. All the courses arrived on time and were presented efficiently by the excellent waiting staff. The starter was vegetable soup which was hot and delicious. The main course was the steak and Guinness pie, chips and mushy peas. I can honestly say that the pie was the best I have ever had at a restaurant. It was home made and crammed with meat. Once again they hadn't skimped on portions. the dessert was Eton mess which was a wonderful finale. Judging from the comments made by others in the group they all enjoyed the total experience as well. No wonder the Greyhound is so popular. It's reputation is well earned and well deserved.

Very nice place ,lovely food and great pint

A bit on the expensive side especially for drinks

First time here and definitely will not be the last! The food was top restaurant standard. We had the pan fried mushroom starter...oh my...delicious and so well presented. Then if it could get any better, the chicken supreme....yummy, crispy skin, tender chicken and a sauce soooo delicious. My husband had the fish pie and said it was the best 👌 We are in the area for two weeks passing through on our narrowboat home, definitely coming next Saturday! Compliments to the chef and the ladies behind the bar and waiting on...thank you.

We held a wake for my father in law at The Greyhound. The service and food was beyond excellent. 25 to 30 guests including 6 vegans had a delightful array food and plenty of it. Many thanks to Zoe and all her team for making us very welcome and feeding is so well.

Excellent service and quality. We had my Father's funeral tea there today. The buffet was excellent quality and plenty of it with some really nice vegan options for those family members who are vegan. The staff are excellent.

Bit chaotic waiting for menus and then food but we were in a massive group celebrating an Anniversary I found all the steps difficult

We didn't pay it was a 63rd wedding anniversary party with friends.

We really rate this establishment. Everyone is so friendly and they can't do enough for you. Food is excellent - so tasty - and always served piping hot and on hot plates, which is essential. Extensive menu. Value for money. We have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and it will continue to be one of our favourite regular venues. Superb. Thank you.

Super staff and food. It has to be the best pub In the Stone area.

A customer for over forty years the food is outstanding the best steak and Guinness pie anywhere staff so efficient and helpful especially to my disabled guest timing was perfect I would highly recommend this family owned pub

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal today. Thank you to all staff.

Had my Mother's 70th birthday here. Food was good pub grub. Managed a big group well.

my first visit,nice relaxed atmosphere,food was very good, couldn't fault the service, reasonably priced thank you

Warm friendly atmosphere on entering and did change throughout the whole meal.

Excellent lunch with good quality food very friendly and helpful staff 10 out of 10

Nine of us in the group were made to feel very welcome by the friendly staff. Six different meals ordered all excellent both for quality and quantity. I have a special dietary requirement which was dealt with very well. Nine deserts followed all excellent cheese board was particularly good. Good selection of beers and spirits. A very enjoyable evening no complaints whatsoever. Very well looked after in a friendly and efficient manner. Will definitely retun

I had never been before as I live in Birmingham, but my friend had been many times before and I was very impressed with the service and quality of the food on the 14th. Had the steak and Guinness pie which was excellent and the pudding tart was a good size and 'moreish'. The landlord's Mom was sat near the door and had a chat with us as we left and made us feel welcome, even though she didn't know me. Very nice evening.

Superb mixed grill.partner had guiness and steak pie.superb.been coming here for 20 plus years

Absolutely fabulous food love the atmosphere very highly recommended

Great place to eat and drink the staff make you feel very welcome and the food is excellent I love the bar area where you can relax after your meal

Lovely place with friendly staff and a great ambience. The food was delicious home made and freshly prepared.

Lovely helpful staff, and really tasty, value for money food.

Perfect Sunday roast & starters 5 *****

Very friendly, very clean, and delicious Sunday roasts. We will definitely be back.

Just been for Sunday lunch here and it was gorgeous! Plenty of choice for starters, mains and desserts. We had roast pork, of which there was plenty, with a good selection of fresh vegtables and lots of gravy. The waiting staff were very friendly and attentive. The ambience was lovely with music playing in the background but we were able to have a conversation without raised voices. A lovely experience and would definitely recommend.

lovely setting with very good pub grub.

Fabulous place, lovely decor, chilled atmosphere, great staff, dog friendly, fantastic food... in a nutshell, excellent. We will definitely be back.

Very comfortable place next to log fire and good ales. Good ale and just great friendly service.

Meat chewy, veg soggy, partners meat ok. Cauliflower cheese best veg but paid extra. No sauces offered and not asked if all ok. Sweet tasty. Won't be returning also room cold.

Great atmosphere, great service and always the best food in the area! The steak and ale pie is an absolute must 😁

Great pub. We've been here many times. Very dog friendly and always a warm welcome. I had a turkey dinner and a crumble to finish. The food was lovely. With a few real fires around the pub the atmosphere is warm and cosy. A lovely place to relax. Recommended.

Excellent meal, good service and a friendly atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

I had a Chicken Curry but spent my time wishing I had the Steak pie my friend had. Great service, nice food, highly recommended.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon after a muddy walk from Aston Marina. Really friendly staff and we were made to feel very welcome. Food was great, fire was roaring and the beer was fab.

Beautiful Sunday Lunch and the staff were lovely

Delicious food. Great choice on menu. Lovely log burners.

Recently had a birthday meal for 19 people. Cannot recommend highly enough to anyone considering similar. Table placing enabled us all to converse, the food was delicious and served seamlessly. Had a wonderful evening!

Great quality food great atmosphere lovely service spot on

Lovely evening out. Fabulous food and service

A very friendly welcome, with good beer on an autumnal Wednesday lunchtime. Appeals to an older clientele at this time of day, but none the worse for that. Comfortable corners and plenty of dining tables.

Lovely pub, staff are very friendly and helpful.

I nipped in for dinner with my Son. We will definitely be back with his sisters & our dog ! Such lovely staff and delicious food - dog friendly too!!

really good home made food. we've been regularly, . the steak and Guinness pie is highly recommended. I had the liver with crisybacon and onions with mash which was excellent. Liver isn't everyone's cup of tea, my husband hates it, so I don't eat it at home.

Always friendly, the food is excellent and all homemade. Always try for 2 courses but always get 3.

Been here today to celebrate my husband's,70th birthday. Always have a very warm welcome. The staff are really nice and friendly. Been here loads of times over the years and there is always a lovely atmosphere. The food is always cooked really nice and there is plenty of choice. In the summer you can sit outside which is really nice or have a game of pool inside. If you don't want a meal there is a lovely sitting area inside which is nice and comfortable. This place is well worth a visit. I would definitely recommend it.

Our group had 6 different all of which were truly remarkable. Cannot recommend highly enough. Staff very friendly. We were travelling on a barge and unsure of arrival time but staff made a note of this and reserved our table. Truly wonderful service and meal. Thank you very much

Visited from the canal, excellent well priced food. Helpful and friendly staff. We went to celebrate my birthday and will definitely go back.

The Greyhound at Burston is our favourite restaurant, extremely welcoming and friendly, comfortable atmosphere throughout, along with the food /menu variety being excellent every time that we've been, we are always spoilt for choice on each course which is very rare, highly recommend the Greyhound as it never disappoints.

We haven't been in yet on this trip through but always call in. Thats tomorrow. But always feel guilty 'cos 1 year forgot to pay for our meal. Luckily our son hadn't left. I've since been rrminded about it hundreds of times. Reading reviews it sounds like its still the same friendly welcoming pub we remember.

Pleasant surroundings with very good food served piping hot 🔥 including the plates so do be careful!. Good choice including gluten free vegetarian and vegan options. Well worth a visit.

The restaurant is very clean and the staff are friendly. The menu has a lot of choice and also a variety of cuisines. The food was fresh and well cooked, loved it! However, I do believe it is a little too expensive for what you get overall. If I compare it to the nearby Aston marina or The Post house, I don't believe the ambiance is there.

Generally has been reasonable Sunday Roasts. Not sure what happened last Sunday. Vegetables were swimming in butter, Yorkshire puddings would have have won a cup cake competition and the service from the bar was non existent.

Lovely meal at "The Greyhound" today, as on previous occasions when I've eaten there. Excellent service and tranquil setting.

Brilliant experience, food beautiful and service was brilliant. Will definitely be back

Excellent food and service recommended!

An absolute gem of a place which I go to whenever I get the opportunity as I live almost an hour away. Superb.

Great place. Easily accessible from the canal boat.

Excellent service and wonderful staff

Well this pub has changed! I've not been here since it was a regular haunt in 1998-2000 as we used to play pool in the room you 1st enter from the car park after Ventures in Aston Village Hall. Then I noticed it had been knocked through and made more airy, you done a nice job 👏 I was only able to drop a 4* on the food tab as we had a very nice buffet laid out, 5's are given if we have roasts (which from reading the menu we'll return for) also, atmosphere got a 4, but that's understandable since this was a wake. I have not seen some of my family members for ages, for example, I completed my full 22 year career in the Army without seeing some of them. So it was good to catch up again. Thanks to the Publican and staff.

Amazing,very friendly and the food was delicious.

Friendly staff and great service

Went for a family meal and thought the food was excellent. Decent sized car park and wonderfully friendly staff. Well worth the 300 mile round trip ! Wouldn’t hesitate to go again if we’re in the area.

Great place to eat - friendly service, great food

Very friendly staff and a steak pie to die for!

Beautiful place, a little hidden gem. Food was amazing and the staff are more than attentive ☺️

Love the food, the service is great. You have the choice to sit down in the bar area or the restaurant which ever ambiance you fancy. The staff have always been great with my artistic son. It is one of the few places that my son feels comfortable to eat at. Thank you.

Always welcoming friendly staff .Good food very reasonable prices. What more could you ask for. Weekends I found it best to ring and make reservations. The popularity speaks for it's self Just had an excellent meal for Father’s Day . We had the Dog with us and were made to feel really welcome as always. Good value good service and lovely staff. Highly recommended

It was a very quiet pub and well looked after

Cracking little site right behind pub, friendly staff, lovely grass field (pitch were u want) toilets in pub, tap just outside pub, no EHU, gray & elsan point in field, not tryed food yet as just got here, £10 a pitch good value, defo worth a visit

Excellent, beautiful clean and pleasant pub with friendly staff, food perfect with the option for smaller portions on steaks, cask ales in great condition

Highly recommend the visit - whether for the food, or just for a drink. Plenty of choice on the menu and all cooked from fresh. Portions a huge. Definitely need a empty stomach before going! Plenty of options for GF and those who are cheese intolerant, like me! Lovely surroundings, and service spot on!

Visited last evening with partner, and family. Food was perfect, pub relaxing atmosphere. Will definitely return

I just wanted to thank the staffs at the Grey Hound who catered for my Mum`s wake on the 23rd of May. The food laid on was excellent and the staff were accommodating and caring at such a difficult time. We are definitely going to come back to enjoy the food and hospitality in the future.

Booked for a post funeral get together. Lovely buffet with reserved tables in a cosy setting.

Nice pub, great service, lovely food.

Lovely atmosphere definitely would recommend a visit, food is very tasty and great selection of beverages.
