Greyhound Inn in Stafford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Well, what a surprise. We arrived well after lunchtime but before tea. The pub itself needs a good overhaul in terms of decor. Quite shabby and dusty. There was no one in the pub at the time, but the staff took our order, and it came quickly. What an amount!! I've never been defeated by meat until now!!! Hubby had a grill which was plentiful, and I had ribs. Little too much sauce for me but I scraped it off. It was tasty.. I took half of mine home! We will definitely revisit. Sunday carvery is supposed to be good....

Arrived at 1.50 pm and got served pretty quickly. Meat portion was generous but some of the beef was tough and it went on the side of my plate. Turkey tasted nice. The plate you get holds a lot of food, which is good. The creamy leeks were good on this visit as was the white cabbage. The little roast potatoes looked good but did not taste great and the cauliflower with cheese splodges on top ( rather than a proper cauliflower cheese which i prefer) was just okay. Gravy didn't taste quite right and was below par. Horseradish sauce tasted good The meal filled me up which was good, but great flavours were lacking. Overall, I rate the meal as just above average!

Our party of five last dined here for lunch 18 months ago in June 2022, and we were again warmly welcomed on arrival. We sat at a a circular table in the conservatory, which was warm and airy. We chose from the extensive menu, and our meals were served very promptly, and were delicious, and out desserts were excellent. Overall a very enjoyable experience, and highly recommended.

Came across this little treasure on the way back from Alton Towers. Friendly staff great choice of drinks and a fantastic selection of food. Our meals were lovely and great value.

Been recommended by a friend to visit and today we did , up there with the best food and drink , always drove past , but we will be most certainly stopping more in the future, polite and welcoming staff aswell WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMENDED A VISIT !!!

I ordered the “ barn door” 20oz rump steak. The meal was absolutely beautiful the only thing I would change is change the side salad to half a grilled tomato and flat mushroom. Other than that would recommend to anybody

Called in on s Wednesday evening. My husband ordered from the lite bite menu. Fish and chips. Was only just under £7 and was a big portion. I had the southern fried chicken and Grandaughter had chicken nuggets then the scoops of ice cream and three J20s all came to £39 good meal, Good Value, good time. Thank you. We will be back😀

Staying in stafford for 2 weeks at a time (Mon-Thurs) 11 weeks in the year as I am at the college, and find myself eating here most days. Definitely the best value for money you will find in stafford! The menu is amazing there is so much choice and very reasonable prices too! I don’t think I have seen a menu with more choice in my life! I ordered a 6oz steak burger and was pleasantly surprised that it came with chips, peas and salad! The staff in there are really nice and welcoming and the food is good! There is so much to try on the menu, definitely something for everyone

I was looking forward to the nut roast on the cavery. I was so disappointed. It had a funny taste and I didn't taste any nuts. The texture was sloppy. The vegetables were tasteless and mushy. Needless to say I didn't enjoy my meal. I would not recommend eating here.I just wish there was a good vegetarian restaurant locally

Went to the Greyhound for an evening meal between Xmas and New Year. The food was excellent and the service was quick. Good value and tasty food. Many thanks

Great meal, atmosphere. We visited on the night England played France to avoid lots of people. As always the food was great. I had the 20oz mixed grill with peppercorn sauce which was superb. My partner had the Ham, eggs and chips and couldn’t finish it as the size of the meal. The ham was lovely. Friend had the full rack of ribs, he couldn’t believe the size of the portion. Great atmosphere, cracking food! Can’t wait till we go again

Christmas Day - Didn’t think somewhere could be so terrible! AVOID Myself my husband and mother in law decided to go here for Christmas Day lunch. Our table was booked for 1pm. We arrived and were promptly seated at a table in the far corner of the conservatory where the radiator was burning my leg. I went to the bar and had to wait to be served, about 5 minutes, which was fine. I had literally just sat down when the starters arrived. The starters were basic but acceptable. When our mains arrived they did not look very nice and we were informed that the salmon we’d ordered wasn’t ready so we’d have to wait for that! The food was cold anyway so waiting wasn’t a problem. The sprouts were soggy and oozed water. The carrots were the same. The sauce over my gammon had a skin forming on it because it was getting cold. I just couldn’t eat it. The cauliflower cheese and broccoli with cheese sauce were warm but the presentation was awful and it looked really bland. My mother in law said her salmon was nice, probably because it was cooked fresh but the same soggy vegetables and cold roast potatoes. We ‘finished’ our main course and waited 45 minutes before anyone turned up to clear the table. A young chap, who obviously had no restaurant experience, cleared some of the table and then disappeared. It was then a further 20 minutes before a young lady turned up to clear the rest of the table. I expressed my disappointment about the food and service and that we’d been waiting a long time. I asked to speak to the manager. She did not know how to deal with my complaint but did get the manager. Well, this is where I really started to lose my rag. The manager turned up and said ‘well do you want any dessert?’ In a very obnoxious manner. I asked him if his waitress had told him I wanted to speak to him. He said yes but that he did not want to discuss it with me and that he’d speak to me afterwards. He then took our dessert order and walked off. By this time I just wanted to leave. The desserts turned up. The cheesecake was actually quite nice, undoubtedly not made in house, but my husband’s Christmas pudding looked like a very slim slice of Soreen fruit loaf with about two tablespoons of custard poured over it. There was supposed to be coffee and mince pies but I didn’t see any evidence of anyone in the restaurant getting these. Anyway, by this time we’d had enough and so decided to go and speak to the manager and the leave. We went to the bar and I was greeted by a lovely lady. By this time I am quite upset and she could see that. I asked if she was the manageress. She said no and that I’d have to speak to the same guy I’d already tried to speak to at the table. He came over and he just wasn’t interested in hearing my concerns and asked what outcome I wanted. He suggested that as we’d already paid a deposit that we leave it at that and they’d also cover our drinks. We didn’t pay any extra but his attitude SUCKED big time. He was just so rude and did not know how to manage a restaurant, especially on Christmas Day. Also smarten up your staff Mr Manager. One of your ‘waitresses’ had a hole in the seam of her black legging at the back which you could see her red knickers through - not really something that I want to see when I’m trying to eat my supposed Christmas dinner. Your staff need training in the basics of waiting tables. You were obviously short staffed. As you did not give me the opportunity to discuss any of this with you, I am therefore writing it here for everyone to see. I know you said you didn’t want to ruin our Christmas Day but you did BIG TIME. We will never come back. It used to be a great eating pub but never again.

Went Saturday tea time, was a group of family and friends, food was not very hot, infact chips were cold nearly. Meat was tough, the mixed grill not to bad except fat on the steak, my main problem was how long it took to bring...

The visit was on Sunday lunchtime 6th November. 2022. I deliberately arrived at 2.15 pm to avoid the worst of the bar and carvery queues. This place is popular and almost a victim of its own success!! Watching the carver cut the meat I was...

we both had the Mixed Grills - they had several different sizes, different mixes, the best grill i have ever had they were so generous and tasty - really impressed and full up!

Two of us had lunch here today (steak for one and haddock & chips). The steak, medium rare, was cooked to perfection and the haddock batter was light and crisp. Very clean- efficient service. Good prices. Will call again.

I’ve visited the Greyhound a number of times and the quality of food is always very good. Service is great and it’s a lovely place to visit. Great value and a great selection of food.

Lovely meal again today , never had a bad meal here food is excellent service also excellent , staff always pleasant. Thank you . Would always recommend people to go and eat here .

Even though they were really busy, the service was amazing. Food was lovely, in particular the carvery was great! It’s a pub for a good value meal and no pretentiousness. I would definitely come here again.

I wouldnt recommend the greyhound pub the food used to be good but it has gone down hill. I went for a meal and was told I couldn't eat outside. I had burger and chips, the chips where awful and the bap was soggy. When...

We just came and tried your carvery for the first time ...and we were definitely not disappointed!! Absolutely hands down the best carvery we have had, amazing value for money as the portion of meat was huge with a wide variation of vegetables to choose...

First visit and it was very nice. I know it might be tough during COVID but they did need another person behind the bar. The food quality was excellent. Will definitely visit again

Fabulous Sunday lunch with friends excellent value loads of choice of vegetables and meat would highly recommend.

Cheap and cheerful really doesn’t do it justice as the food quality was excellent. Best described as good value. The only downside is waiting at the bar to place your order, but there wasn’t a long wait for food.

My partner and I went for a meal on New Years Day. Food was fab,i like my steaks still moving. Ordered a blue fillet and that is what I got. I dont know where the restaurant get their meat from but it is lush! The...

The place was warm but the tables are sticky as other visitors have remarked. The plates are warm & the rump steak was perfect the gammon tasty large juicy chips & good value.The Grandchildren ate all the main & a large pudding

I had the fillet steak - it was delicious. The menu was vast. The table was a little sticky and I would prefer more ‘green stuff’ but we will definitely be back

Mash was like sand ,packet, frozen roast potatoes ,had some good meals in the past but this was awful,told staff but didn’t seem to interested ,oh well

I attended here with 19 guests after my son’s christening. The owner Paul was so accommodating and helpful. The carvary was amazing and there was loads of it

We had a big family meal. Menu is extensive with wine deals included. We thought the prices were quite reasonable especially given the portion sizes. I did ring through to book a table in advance and were surprised they didn't take bookings - luckily we...

Arriving at 12:06 on a Sunday lunch, we were amazed to see it being so busy so soon. Selecting tables we looked in the main room, dark. The conservatory and the table was filthy dirty and sticky. Not from that lunch time as just opened....

Was impressed with the food. Very generous portion of meat tho I did miss having Gammon with my beef. Good choice of vegetables some of which were cooked and presented in tasty sauces. Not surprisingly we left feeling so full which is an understatement. Very...

We visit regularly the food and service is always great. But I am fed up of those cheap sauce packets that quite often don’t even open. It’s wasteful that so many must get chucked away in frustration and surely more economical to actually buy bottles...

Visited for Sunday lunch with my family as the Greyhound was recommended to us, first appearance beautiful, but when we found a seat in the front of the bar seats were filthy, we then moved into the conservatory and sat in faux leather seats.... at...

Great Meal all enjoyed good value friendly staff menu very good variety excellent Good outside area large car park

Our party of 8, including two children, enjoyed an excellent lunch at this venue. Food was delicious and well presented, and service was efficient and friendly. The venue is located at Yarlet on the A34, and has a large car park. Highly recommended.

We ate here tonight and weren't impressed. We went for the two 10oz steak deals with a bottle of wine. You order at the bar and with one person on most of the time it was a bit slow. The table we sat at could...

Came here by recommandation. Can‘t say what it would be like on a busy night, but there was just one person taking your order (drinks and food) at the bar. Pool girl had to prepare all drinks orders herself at the same time, so queue...

Came today for a carvery. It was amazing. Lots of meat, so much veg choices including creamed leeks which were delicious. Probably the best carvery around

Visited today, first time I’ve been here for years. 3 of us had carvery, 1 had steak/ale pie. Although place needs bit of an update the carvery was lovely. Meat was beautifully cooked, nice choice of vegetables including cauliflower & broccoli in cheese sauce, mash...

Lovely, quality carvery food. The restaurant was very busy and we had to wait for a table, the staff seem to struggle to clean tables quick enough for the turn around. The desserts were equally as nice at such low prices I wasn't expecting quality,...

For what we paid we were happy, the place and the menu is very dated but food wasnt bad and was good value. If i was the owner i would try and get a bit more modern though. And cut the menu down.

Recently visited for a family celebration. We were a large party but no prior booking, deposit or pre ordering required. Good choice of food at great prices, food arrived quickly & obviously freshly cooked as hot but extremely tasty & good sized portions. Staff polite...

We ate here on a Sunday. The place was packed which is always a good sign. I'm guessing that the reason the place is so popular is because the meals are well priced and they are generous portions but I'm afraid to say that none...

So we came to The Greyhound to celebrate my mother-in-law and my husbands birthday dinner. Low key type.. Just family and some laughs. I looked through the menu and settled for the Mediterranean seafood platter as it sounded amazing. Breaded scampy, squid rings, floured whole...

1st time in ages been to the Greyhound, cannot fault the food at all, the staff very polite and friendly. Food was brilliant, I had the mardi gradi, which I could not eat all of, too much for me, other friends will us, couldn't fault...

Lovely staff great food we had a range of steaks to chicken etc. kids meals were good size and good quality. Our adult meals could have done with being a bit hotter but otherwise very good. Will definately go again.

My partner and myself recently visited for lunch on Monday. She ordered a chicken burger and I ordered the rump steak. The chicken burger was over cooked and the bun was dry. I ordered a a blue steak that I arrived pretty much well done....

We are regularly visiting this pub, can't fault it,the food is excellent with very reasonable prices.The pub is situated aongside the A34 halfway between Stafford and Stone.It serves specials everyday at lunchtime and between 5/6pm.It has a nice large conservatory at the rear which overlooks...

Four of us visited on a Friday evening for a birthday celebration, we all really enjoyed the evening, car park is quite large and we easily found a table. Food ordering was straight forward and didn’t take long to arrive, every meal was excellent one...

Food was substandard. Environment felt dirty. Flys everywhere all over the tables and our food. Grumpy staff and we were the only customers, so no atmosphere. They didn't like us moving tables fir our deserts, even tho the flys did put us off our main...

Don't know where to start because everything was soooo good, i tried to write a review a few weeks ago because it was that good then, but tripadvisor rules will not let you so close to another review of the same place. Tbh i would...

Well worth a visit , not far out of town, you have to try the carvery it’s well worth it. Can get busy in there but worth the wait. Will return soon

The sheer volume of people partaking of the carvery lunch amazed me . In spite of that we had a very good roast dinner with masses of everything including friendly service.

Always A1 good food service every time, go to this place regular. Recommend Tudor steaks medium rare.

I was there with a party of 7of us and each of us had a different meal and each and everyone of us praised the quality, and the quantity of the portions. Excellent value for money. Definitely worth a visit. Doug Ness

We had a lovely meal, although initially they had got our order wrong this was soon rectified and throughout enjoyed our meals. Staff were polite although the service was a little slow.

Myself and my Partner found tis little gem quite by accident.......when Valentines Day was looming my other half had not booked anything and managed to get in here........we did wonder why we could get in at such short notice and didn't hold out any expectations...

Went here on the off chance to try the place out for Sunday Lunch. WOW can't believe I've never tried Sunday Lunch here before now. The quality of the meat & veg here was outstanding... there is about 6/7 veg choices, enough meat to feed...

Four of us visited early Friday evening (not been for a long time), busy, but not packed, no reservations available anyway. Located out of town, between Stone & Stafford, slap bang on the A34 (Warning: right turn in & right turn out means cutting across...
