Greyhound Inn in Allerdale

Dropped in because they had live sports on. So glad I did. Been visiting the lakes for 30 years and first time here. We normally go towards Keswick. Me and my son both had the wagyu burger, drinks and pudding. Couldn't fault the food. Reasonable priced, large portions and served quickly. I'm surprised the place was empty. Will definitely be returning again and I've recommended it to the family

Excellent pub food with large portions, friendly staff who are very attentive. Plenty of parking space.

Very poor food. Family meal with my wife and our two daughters (aged 11 & 13). Chicken curry had a really unpleasant flavour, which I’d never previously experienced with a curry. The accompanying nans were ‘microwaved up’ little circles, which were tough and cold in the middle. Most of the chips were chewy and a bit leather-like. The pizzas (x3) were clearly from frozen bases (thick ones). Nobody enjoyed them. When collecting our near-full plates, I let the waitress (who was very nice) know that the food had been very poor. She spoke to the manager and we were given a 20% discount, which I thought was quite measly in the circumstances. Shame as we planned to visit the place a few times during our holiday. Sadly, we absolutely won’t be back .

good atmosphere and non alcohol drinks incl Guinness. Good got food and great service, very clean

Really nice country pub. Lovely food and huge portions.

Food was excellent and the service was swift and the staff very polite.

Came here end of May food was amazing 10/10 so had family visiting today thought it’s worth travelling from Carlisle for great food how wrong I was!! 4 adults 2 children. 3 out of 4 meals came with chips rock hard burnt you couldn’t cut them!! Side of onion rings greasy with raw thick uncooked onion inside. Salad was lovely huge and presented well. Kids meal ok fine for a child’s meal and what you pay. When I said chips were awful the waitress said it’s a bad batch of potato’s we can bring fries 🍟waiting on them the other food was going cold no offer to replace meals just replace chips to fries. Why were you still serving them if you knew they were substandard?? Asked for manager twice (she was busy, too busy cooking to come out) Eventually they removed the cost of 3 meals, when they seen how much food was sent back. 20 mins after finishing manager??? Well she claimed to be came over to say I was busy sorry I said your lovely staff have sorted it without you after asking to see you twice. So going from a 10/10 to a 2/10 no offer or any apology from manager yet we spent a lot on drinks etc such a shame as this place was lovely Waitressing staff lovely and still gave them a tip as to be honest they looked embarrassed at the state of the food we were served. After tonight I advise avoid at all costs!!!!

Excellent food and service very friendly and attentive. The biggest breakfast we've ever been served! Will definitely be back.

Wow, what a gem. The quality of the food is top notch. Significantly better than what I expected from what is seen as 'pub grub' I had the steak pie and was blown away with the flavour and the amount of meat within it. Obviously no expense spared in supplying exceptional value for money. Only a stones throw away from the lake district, but miles away from the faceless corporate microwave fare provided down the road. Appears to be a 'local' venue without the stigma of alienating tourists. 10/10

Open on a Tuesday easy journey from Aspatria. Good choice Inc burgers, pizza and curry.

Great little pub with an excellent food menu. Also show the sports on the TVs.

Really nice food and very welcoming staff.

Friendly staff and massive portions! Dogs are very welcome, our pup got a gigantic serving of sausages and veg to go! She loved it

Lovely food had Sunday dinner and a Gammon egg. Both amazing and a dog menu available

Really enjoyed a pleasant meal. The food was freshly made and piping hot and tasty. The service was attentive and very cheery, adding to the occasion.

Love this place food and service is great Chicken Sunday roast 😋 and mix Grill very nice

Lovely staff and great portions for what you pay

Had a lovely meal, very generous portions. Staff very pleasant and friendly. Will visit again if we come back to this area 👍😍

The owner could not do enough for us. The food was excellent and the staff were very polite. We used this as a stopover whilst on our way to Scotland. It's refreshing to know places like this still exist.

Very friendly staff who go out of their way to please which is priceless in itself, the atmosphere is accommodating, dog friendly, the menu is varied and refreshing, huge portions and all home cooked. Definitely worth a visit if you are passing.

Food was really good, service and staff great too

Staff were unfriendly and unwelcoming. The food was average to poor. The place smelled of dogs and the furniture and decor were tired. I would not go back.

Great service, lovely friendly staff and the food was amazing. Huge portions which over faced us all. Chicken burger was a little dry, but the sweet chilli sauce made it better. Great for kids, menu great and good options. Dog menu too which is a nice touch. Will definitely be coming again.

Good food and helpful staff. Quiet when we visited but one of the few pubs in the area which serves all day. Good value for money!

rather dissapointed with this place .had quiche n chips .The chips where hard undercooked so we left them the waitress took our dishs and asked how the food was we told her about the chips she said I'll go n tell her . when we went to pay she took full payment no apology didnt say you've only eaten a bit of your meal i wont take payment sorry .i have eaten at a lot of places this is by far the worst .

Food is amazing, great prices. Staff are very friendly and polite. Nice atmosphere. Dog friendly and have a doggy menu. Definitely recommend!!

Had a lamb Sunday dinner was delicious and had apple crumble and ice cream. Nice little cosy pub with lovely attentive staff would definitely recommend x

If you want a fantastic meal, great atmosphere with great beers, this is for you. Will be back, loved it.

Great country pub, food was great.

I must have driven past this place hundreds of times and never been in. That changed this evening as we were in the area on half term break and I'm glad about that. The food was top notch, with everything being home made and the portions were huge. I had a Boar and Chorizo burger whilst my wife had Gammon and my son had Chicken Goujons and everyone left feeling very satisfied. The staff were very nice and helpful, great music whilst we ate and reasonably priced too. Definitely stop in if you're passing and are hungry.

Booked a table arrived, seated straight away with pup, hour and a half later, asked if it would take much longer, only to be told the order had gone missing! Left with a crying 8 year old and drove to McDonald’s 20 mins away. Manager/owner did come out when they realised but staff should have realised long before we asked.

Saturday night with live karaoke type music, from Coco and Donna. Excellent service. Donna was a great singer.

The staff struggled to understand our food order and even got the table number wrong. Another lady ordering food had to tell the staff member our table number. When the other ladies food came out before us we waited 5mins then asked the staff where our order was. Apparently it was forgotten and we then went to the back of the queue. At no point did anyone offer us any nibbles or a free drink because of their mistake. When the food finally arrived it was not good. The nut roast was not edible it was rock hard from. The bottom of the pan. The vegetable curry was just a sauce with the vegatables thrown in with no flavour. The 2 burgers had rock hard burnt sweet potato fries. We eventually got free drinks only because we asked. Not going back here again.

What a find. Proper local pub offering a friendly welcome. Food was great and home made we had the classic steak and ale pie. Ales on tap and good value too. My advice book ahead tables at the weekend are busy.

Very friendly staff and food was very nice.

Surprised at how busy it was at 7pm, glad we booked early, food was excellent and home made, albeit a little pricy, but to be expected with the way things are atm, staff were pleasant and very helpful.

Really enjoyed our food, and a good range of drinks.

Just been to see the new landlords menu and this guy knows how to cook! I had a very tasty wagyu burger with a fried egg and blue cheese!! It was a taste sensation! Multiple choices for all taste buds!! Hope other visitors to the pub can support the local village pub that seems to be sadly disappearing all around the UK

Lovely pub, live band was lit 👌

The wavyu burger is great. Fab onion rings.

We love our visit to this friendly, welcoming pub when we come to Cumbria to see family. Landlady and staff friendly, always accommodating and helpful.

Lovely meal had scampi partner had steak and both were delicious. Spot on.

Didn't have food but lovely little pub

Lovely pub. Pleasant staff. Great all round. Thanks for the experience.

Great pub food plentiful few thing not spot on chips well over cooked. Fish not great, but rest very good

We were staying at local campsite so decided to call in hoping to get some food. We werent disappointed, what a lovely friendly place. The food choice was great and the portions too big for me but the husband had a good go. The food is just good wholesome, homecookes food which you cannot fault. The owners are so friendly and even to the point I left my very expensive jacket on the first night and when we returned for more food on the second night, it had been put to one side and when we entered, the dark haired lady asked me if it was mine. That to me says how lovelt they are and honest. The second night we even joined in the local pub quiz and were made to feel welcome by the locals. This is a truely lovely pub and we will return when staying up the road. Just really nice food and atmosphere. Even the young waitress was really friendly.

On holiday in the area and Called in on the off chance of serving food. Wow! , cracking meals and excellent service Highly recommended and would not hesitate to go back. ( if we’ve time before going home we will be back.) Thank you..

The food was delicious and the waitress was so lovely. Dog friendly.

Had dinner here today, fantastic food & service. Couldn't fault a thing. Highly recommend

Nice place but ordered cumberland sausage when it came to the table you could smell it was off tried it and was horrible very sour but they couldn't apologise enough and reordered lamb which was beautiful

Great local pub , friendly locals and staff , great food and great 🍺

Called in on way from long day out with our fur babies. Bit early for food so had a pint while we waited. When it arrived, well I was full up before we started eating. I had lasagne and hubby had king prawns sweet n sour with rice and chips. HUGE. COULDNT FINISH but we'll worth the money. Dogs were quite at home sleeping after drinking bowls of water.

Great place, owners seem very committed. Menu is lovely and food was divine

Fantastic portion sizes and tasty food. Very dog friendly. The staff were welcoming and knowledgeable, and they made us and our dog feel at home. I would recommend the cheese and bacon burger if it's on the menu

Beautiful pub and great place to have a drink with some friends

Nice pub with friendly staff. Hawkstone and cruzcampo on draught too. Enjoyable experience

Went for dinner today food was OK, The staff where very polite and helpful especially the girl who greeted us when we entered the pub.

Lovely pub. Had the burger but it was very greasy and had alot of cheese but very nice. Veggie burger was disappointing, Chips were fab. Will be back but will get something different

Lasagne was sent to table cold sent back and it came out of kitchen luke warm inedible.

We were just passing, and they kindly fitted us in . "Good pub food

Really excellent food. Freshly cooked and piping hot. Big portions. Great atmosphere, staff all brilliant and friendly. Regulars in bar also very welcoming to us first time visitors. Will definitely be a regular visitor myself. Vegan options on menu for those who are. Can recommend garlic mushrooms and the steak n scampi. Good selection on menu of proper food, not arty itsy bitsy bits n pieces. Great prices for the amount you get too. Go hungry!!!

Very good time had at the beer and sausage festival 😋 both of which were excellent. Went again a few days later and had a very nice meal of fish and chips. Looking forward to returning on the folk evening soon. They staff are happy and hardworking.

Absolutely AMAZING homemade food. Great prices, local pub with brilliant lager choices. Always feel uneasy taking 4 yr old in pubs for food but we were made to feel so welcome by staff. My daughter was given colouring books and she loved her meal. Will definitely call back everytime we come home from keswick. Thank you again.

Loved my stop over here. A great Olde fashioned traditional olde English pub! Good choice of ales. Staff were SO friendly. Food was great and the portions huge! 6

Great food and excellent selection of local Ales. Friendly staff.

We had Sunday lunch at the greyhound, home cooked excellent food, the hospitality was superb. Would highly recommend it.

Super friendly. Huge portions and incredibly fair prices! Dog friendly and lots of veggie options.

Really enjoyed my lunch and had a wonderful pint with it

Great atmosphere and friendly service. Dog friendly.

Great food, lovely staff, nothing too much trouble for them.

Brilliant friendly pub. Felt welcome from the offset

Under new management and is so much better. Food is great and.the beer really good.

Me, my mate and my annoying dog were staying at a nearby campsite so we called in for an evening meal on Sunday after a walk. We were a bit muddy and weary looking but the friendly welcome we got from the staff was brilliant. They offered samples of some local beers to help us choose and the food was piping hot, good value and really good pub grub. The staff were so nice I'll go out of my way to head back there one day. Thanks :)

.. Lovely food, good value for money, great service, friendly staff, nice latte 😉would highly recommend

Great atmosphere. Good stuff. Good beer/food

Absolutely lovely. We have driven past this place countless times but decided to drop in with my family. Had a beautiful cooked rump steak (rare, best way to have steak!) and the steak pie with two of the kids choice meals which were great portion sizes! The staff were really lovely, the place is pristine so kudos to whoever does the cleaning and the atmosphere is great. Definitely will return!

Popped in today while passing, lovely food, homely atmosphere, lovely attentive staff.

Had Sunday lunch here today, food was spot on, service was fast and friendly, will certainly call again.

All you could ever need in a pub. Thoroughly recommend!

Call in by chance, lovely welcome and wonderful real pub food. Spot on and just what we needed after a damp day up Scarfell Pike.

Lovely place to eat out and Sunday dinner is a must ,nice staff and good crack .

Just moved to the area and popped in on speck ad they serve food, had sweet chilli 🌶 chicken with rice and 🍟 chips, with a couple of pints, very nice and they do Sunday lunches with im sure I will try this Sunday. Only criticism I was really quiet they was music playing but it was that quiet we felt like we had to wisper our conversation so 4 out of 5 stars 🌟 🤩 from us

Friendly staff and great food 🍽️

Warm welcome from staff, excellent hot food, for the 5 of us adults plus little one, good service, very obliging with the young grandchild in highchair, and was the same experience a month ago. Would definitely recommend the Greyhound Inn. Do book beforehand as we visited on Thursday 8th September and they were really busy at 7pm so we had to wait until 8pm for our meal. We didn't mind the wait as was worth it.

Popped in a little late with the hope they were still serving food and much to our delight they were!! We both had homemade steak pie, chips, peas and gravy and we left with 2 very happy and very full bellies 😋 The food was lovely, the staff are very friendly...a lovely find after a walk in the lakes. Try it! Sorry there's no photos, we were too hungry 😂

nice pub good service and tasty food

Great choice & value. Big portions! Did great with a big group of people. Dog friendly too.

Fabulous pub meals were delicious staff were friendly and welcoming

Proper pub, nice food and nice staff too

Great food and staff very friendly 👍👍

Absolutely outstanding food, I got the sirloin steak 🥩, cooked to perfection, definitely worth a trip from Newcastle too

Had a lovely meal at the Greyhound inn,generous portion,great value. Staff really nice and good atmosphere.

By far one of the best pubs I've been to. So good we came back the next evening too! Absolutely beautiful food, very generous portions and excellent pricing. Lovely little place and staff to match. Look no further!

What a great pub! Good beer, fantastic staff and excellent food at very reasonable prices. Well worth visiting.

Beautiful fresh food Staff very pleasant and attentive 10/10

Wouldn't go back. Small portions of food and barely warm. Beef was chewy and vegetables undercooked. Waitress abit abrupt and more interested in bigger group of people that came in after we arrived. Overall a poor experience and will not return😒

Very friendly service and food amazing will definitely recommend

Food was great, staff polite and friendly, recommended.

This was our second visit to the greyhound at bethel. Dinner last week was absolutely delicious. Staff are friendly and the food was plentiful and well cooked. Breakfast today wAs equally delicious and reasonably priced. Give it a try and see for yourselves.
