Greyhound Inn Hickling Green in North Norfolk

We had the best Sunday roast we've ever had whilst eating out. The portions were huge, meat was cooked beautifully, the vegetables were plentiful with lots of lovely gravy. We had the sticky toffee pudding and lemon sponge for desert, both were delicious. Staff are very friendly and attentive, booking is advised as it was very busy.....and no wonder, Thank you.

Awesome pub, great food, great team!

Nice pub. 20 minute walk from where we were staying. Good food and friendly staff.

Sunday lunch. Menu always good, was busy so service was a little slow. But always very accommodating and happy to see you. Been before and will go again.

Good pub, hood food, couple of Adnams real ales.

Fantastic 'proper' pub!!! Great beers and spirits. Staff are superb; very friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable. Food is absolutely superb; and lots of it!!! We have been before, several times, always the same......EXCELLENT!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! We'll be back again!!!

Wow just a great pub, food is excellent, and prices realistically matched well done the Greyhound spot on

Great Lunch steak & ale pie to die for. Butter chicken curry fabulous large portions highly recommended 👌

Lovely country pub , we had a great meal

We called in for an evening drink and meal recently. Unfortunately we hadn't booked a table and were just too late for food. The place had a lovely atmosphere and the food coming out looked delicious. The staff serving us were so polite and helpful. The young man, sorry I didn't catch his name even wrote out a list of nearby places to try for food which was really appreciated as we didn't know the area. We shall definitely be back, loved the place, beautiful greenery growing indoors and lots of quirky bits and pieces which i loved. A really friendly place providing a first rate service. Thankyou, see you again soon.

A local pub for local people. A bit short staffed when we visited, but that's not a problem if you're local as they'll serve you before any damned tourists who might have booked. Half the serving staff of two were rude and surly. The food was pretty standard pub grub. Nothing too clever but OK. Atmosphere was prickly because I dared to point out they were serving people who had just arrived before us, who had waited half an hour. There are nicer pubs around this area.

Had great evening here fantastic staff food was wonderful

Proper village pub, great atmosphere we all enjoyed our meals , and choices of real ales available 👍

Came here to survey the pub sewer system, looks a lovely cosy pub, with a great menu.

Been having Sunday lunch here for quite a while. Never had any complaints before. Food always excellent, selection of real ales varies. Unfortunately this Sunday, 11th August, my friend asked for a pint of Ghost ship, and a bottle of Ghost Ship low alcohol to go with it, which was served in another pint glass. He wanted it left in the bottle. On mentioning this to the young man who served us, he came out with an expletive. The glass was taken away and replaced with a bottle. This is totally unacceptable, and I trust will not happen again.

Wonderful and welcoming pub with great food. Very nice Sunday Roast!

Absolutely amazing! We stopped off for Sunday dinner (booked the day before). Staff were really welcoming and couldn't do enough for us (including the dog). The Sunday roast was superb - a great selection of meats and a wide variety of veg. The cauliflower cheese was spot on. A really lovely pub - well worth a visit.

I love the greyhound. Good food

Recommend in our welcome pack for our holiday home. Didn't realise booking was vital. Dog friendly but when booking inform them you have a dog as you can't sit in the restaurant section with a pooch. A seat in the bar area, not massively different from the restaurant anyway.. Seemed like mainly locals. Lots of dogs in our bit so when one started another one kicked off. Not a slight on the establishment but on patrons - some should learn that just because their dog is friendly doesn't mean mine is so keep yours away! Boundaries. Recommend food. A great choice. Staff very friendly. When one of our party only wanted a small portion the person taking the order went through all options to work the best out for them. A lovely view and well appointed garden but a few too many flies about.

We stayed about a mile away from the Greyhound and it was our “local” we eat there twice. Once in the dining room without the dog and once in the lounge with the dog. Both times excellent, excellent food, excellent staff and excellent atmosphere. If your local and want a guaranteed good meal then this is your place.

Went to hickling on a 4 day break place absolutely beautiful, had a medley of fish at greyhound average nothing special to write home about, also asked for food at around 7pm they flatley refused any food until 8pm otherwise nice pub

Human and dog friendly traditional pub serving good beer and excellent food. Visited twice during our holiday in the area and would highly recommend. Advise booking.

What a great choice - randomly selected but turned out to be a real diamond! Great service from Sarah and Kat, warm friendly, engaging and good sense of humour what more could you ask for?! And amazing food as well btw! Thanks x

Food was fantastic ,service second to none.we wer watching the football and debbie the owner was extremly friendly and helpful.a wonderful place.

Fantastic pub. Friendly staff and locals. Food was brilliant and good options and well labelled for my gluten free needs!

We stayed in Hickling for a couple of nights and came across this fantastic pub. The Greyhound is really friendly and welcoming. The staff were working so hard on a really busy shift but nothing was too much trouble. Probably some of the best hospitality we've experienced...and we've visited a few pubs!! Really lovely food and generous portions. The sticky toffee pudding is to die for. We'll be back during our next visit .

Good wholesome food, not too busy.

Excellent food. Not a huge place though so you need to book in advance (even on a Tuesday evening!)

This is a lovely little pub and we had amazing food, well worth it. Not sure if there is any disabled access. Staff very friendly and working overtime in the kitchen-deffo call and book ahead!

Very good Sunday roast at a good price, lovely garden. Friendly staff. Would recommend.

Super meal - glad there was room in the bar and that we managed to get in an order for fish pie and steak & kidney pie before the kitchen closed at 8!

Absolutely amazing place , food was delicious! Highly recommended 👌

After looking at the menu on the website, decided to go here. Wish we wouldnt have bothered! When we got there it was a different menu, asked about the one on the website, was told it was a 'sample' one!!! I had mushrooms for starters, which were lukewarm. The mains came, onion bharjs missing... were told they didnt have any. The bill of £150 arrived, which was wrong, charged for too many drinks! The staff didnt seem to know what they were doing! To say we spent a lot of money, it was not an enjoyable experience. Wont be returning!

Went for Sunday lunch delicious 😋 food. Good selection of vegetables piping hot even to the end. Delicious gravy and lots of it😋. Definitely recommend

Lovely country pub. I had the steak and kidney pie which was delicious and huge!

We were a party of 7 on the 27th march, we all had a gorgeous meal and the atmosphere was great, the young lady who was serving us was lovely and a lot of fun, we all had a great time, great food and lovely staff, I highly recommend this place for food or even just a drink or 2, we will be back later in the year and definitely coming here again. 👍👍

The Greyhound was absolutely lovely! Very warm and cosy atmosphere were locals meet up for a chat and a drink. Staff was very friendly and accomodating, making you feel welcome and relaxed. Food was very delicious and cooked to perfection! We had three meat Sunday Roast with all the trimmings and Rump steak (Stilton sauce was amazing!) All very tasty, so big thanks to the Chef! The pub worth a visit.

Great village pub, with plenty of character and fantastic staff. Delicious food and a good selection of lagers and real ales

Brilliant little local pub close to where we were staying. Cannot recommend the food highly enough, very dog friendly 🐾

Food was absolutely fantastic. My friend had steak & kidney pie which was a very generous portion and obviously home made. Nice staff, clean toilets. Overall excellent pub.

Very good food and good choice freshly cooked hot

Good food, dog friendly and the location was excellent. Lager selection was good but the ale selection was rather poor. If that's a deal breaker you may want to explore elsewhere. Desserts looked good and all at reasonable pub prices

Our second visit to The Greyhound. We turned up for an early Sunday lunch, without a reservation, despite being short-staffed, they were super wellcoming and found us a table for lunch. I had the roast lamb, my husband the beef. Huge plate of really tasty food - meat, roasties, Yorkshire puds, cauliflower cheese, carrots, cabbage and broccoli with loads of gravy. Super value too. Hugely recommend for a second time. We will certainly be back.

Great Gluten free menu....thanks.

Oh my goodness... we had a new years day lunch at the Greyhound.. well I can't tell you how welcome we were made by the staff.. all the girls were so lovely..... we are kinda local and we will defo be making a return visit... this time by taxi!.. reduced menu for new year day but still fabulous.... what a find... brilliant. X

Great little pub off the main road. Very freindly staff and great food

Two of our party ordered fillet steak… we asked for it to be well done but it was incinerated… not only that, but there was an unmistakable smell of an old ash tray. Absolutely vile. Will never visit again.

Great pub! Great pub food: fish and chips, just perfect, cheese burger, nice and filling just the way I like. Certainly kind and friendly staff. Just called them half an hour before arrival and we've got the best place anyone can ask for in a pub, right next to the fireplace. I enjoyed a lot the food and the atmosphere. The place has a character, but not overly done. I can only recommend.

Went for my son’s birthday and wow. Amazing food, brilliant friendly staff and a fantastic atmosphere. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely food good selection of beers. Latest menu is excellent. Enjoyed the Chilli prawns as my main but could have equally enjoyed any of the rest of the menu. Great place to go after Church on Christmas day

Five of us went for meal 01/12/23. Very busy but we had booked and the welcome was good. Food excellent. There was a problem with one meal that was swiftly and professionally dealt with. Good menu choices. Friendly helpful staff. Definitely book on popular times.

Super nice place, lovely food, decent beer, very nice staff. Lovely atmosphere, went with landlords of another pub also called the greyhound, clearly the best of the pub names. Kind of wanted 'The Clock Table' to be made of an actual clock, but we can't have everything can we. Also enjoyed a laminated sign above a particular table that proclaimed it was, presumably permanently, reserved for the landlord and landlady. I like the idea of a de facto pub throne.

Outstanding Sunday roast. Beef and lamb were particularly good.

We had roast lamb and a nut roast, both were delicious! Generous portions, tasty cauliflower cheese, the veg had a little crunch like it's supposed to, crispy roasties and decent gravy. Would definitely eat here again :)

Beautiful country pub in a unique location. Pretty, green beer garden, cosy indoors and very friendly staff

Wish that I could give more stars. Wonderful pub, fabulous meal great atmosphere.

So disappointing after reading previous reviews. Fish pie was 90% carrot with minimal salmon, one large haddock bone and chewy rubbery prawns. Garlic mushrooms £6.45 for 6 tiny mushrooms with burnt garlic and half a baguette Halloumi fries are just fried halloumi with no coating, they were crunchy and not cheesy at all My partner left half his burger. The only high point was the salad Service was table service but in spite of making it clear we were ready to order we had to watch the bar staff make themselves coffee and drink it before they came to take our order and take outdoor orders from other later tables ahead of us. Definitely never visiting again

Excellent food and service l had brisket it was super

After visiting the Wildlife Trust reserve just down the lane (which, by the way, was amazing with a wealth of wildlife 🐦🦎and well worth a visit), we enjoyed a delicious meal here. The service and staff were friendly and they have a great choice on the menu 😋

Fantastic homemade food served by wonderful bar staff. It's a proper, unpretentious pub serving good beer. Try the steak pie!! A great place for a birthday celebration on the last night of our holiday. Wish we had discovered it sooner.

We went for an evening meal here. The pub kindly allowed us to eat a little late as we had an online meeting that evening. We had a magnificent prawn and crayfish salad and fish pie followed by Sicilian lemon sponge. The food was good . The pub was busy so you definitely need to book meals in advance - it is the only pub in the village. Prices were reasonable though the wine wasn't cheap.Parking can be difficult when the pub is very busy. Service was excellent and the pub has a traditional atmosphere with low ceilings.

Fabulous food , very friendly staff .. The fish pie was great and the steak and kidney pie was amazing. Would highly recommend

Best fish pie I ever tasted Highly recommend

Been a couple of times during our holidays, the food was excellent, it's a lovely little country pub with great food, drinks and service, what more could you ask for, perfect for outdoors when the weather is nice, we'll definitely be back

Fairly quiet when we arrived. Service was excellent and everyone enjoyed the food. Desserts were very large portions and very tasty too. I can recommend the sticky toffee pudding. The only negative point was they did not have any high chairs for infants. This made eating with an 18 month old child rather challenging.

Good food Outside dining available A couple of gluten free options

Loved it, felt like regulars after 15 minutes of being there

Very quaint old pub, very friendly and busy . Dog friendly with rear garden.

Very nice pub lunch and great service.

Could not have been more welcomed and relaxed especially with having our two dogs with us and the food was spot on !!!

Cheerfull staff. Nice well kept garden at the rear of the Inn. Good selection of Ale. Nice lunchtime sandwiches, reasonable prices.

Enjoyed a delicious meal with friends! Service was efficient and the bar staff were welcoming and engaged in conversation...

Lovely friendly pub. Nice atmosphere and well kept beer.

Lovely place to eat, helpful staff and what A laugh we had with the lovely bar staff. Thank you. Howard and Shelly.

I had roast lamb which was so-so but my husband had the best steak pie he'd ever eaten! Staff extremely friendly and helpful, all 4 of my dogs were made very welcome and the garden was lovely. We will be back!

Poor meals poor service tables are to close together for any privacy. Couple next to us were constantly on their phones I ask if they could be spoken to use there phones outside as we were trying to have a relaxing meal. Informed no not their issue, too many flys about constantly landing on food etc was told nothing could be done. Won't be returning save your money

Meals were absolutely amazing the staff were very welcoming from walking into the pub to us going home

Lovely pub welcoming, dog friendly, staff chatty & friendly food good big portions nice garden at the back

Great food, great location, great venue, great staff. We've been many time for all of these reasons

A really nice village pub with tasty food and great service. There is a good range of vegetarian and gluten free options.

Went for a family meal, all meals were great, I had shortcrust steak and kidney pie, large slab with loads of meat, very friendly staff, highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a warm welcome and friendly service, don’t bother stopping here.

This pub was recommended to us by the people who's cottage we were staying in. It's a quaint pub with a lovely atmosphere The staff made you feel welcome. The food was amazing. Couldn't fault it at all. I'm gluten free and the smoked haddock fishcakes were really yummy. Definitely recommend booking as it is always very busy.

Great go-to in Hickling. Good food, local atmosphere. Very nostalgic, and dog friendly too. If you're on the broads make a trip into town for a hot meal!

Amazing food and atmosphere. Staff friendly and accommodating! Will definitely come back!

Stopped off for a couple of drinks whilst in the Hickling Broad area, nice selection of Ales, lovely garden out at the rear of the pub, beautiful aroma from some of the plants.

Such a homely feel and the staff was so William to help. The food was immaculately cooked and served to please the eye as well as taste buds. Could not ask for more. Wish we came across more pubs like this one on our travels. A1* service. And A1* for food and atmosphere.

Great pub, warm welcome, good beer!

Great service , food was so tasty and hot

Had a great meal at The Greyhound Inn. The food was delicious, staff friendly and they were very accommodating with our 2 greyhounds. I'd highly recommend a visit!

A proper Norfolk pub in long-term private ownership. A caring hub of the community with lovely employees.

Amazing experience for quiz night Great fun with the locals

Nice village Inn. Food was good and served hot, staff very helpful and friendly. Would recommend booking, as table on spec might not be advisable. As the holiday season is upon us

What a fabulous place! Lovely staff & great service. Really welcoming & cosy atmosphere. Great food. Really tasty & reasonablely priced. The Steak & kidney pie was gorgeous & packed full of meat & thick gravy. The Sticky toffee pudding was also a winner. Will definitely return!

Had a massive Sunday roast here. Bit of a wait due to being so busy but definitely worth it!

Five stars for this proper country pub 🍻 . Delicious home cooked food, attentive service and a warm welcome. We'll be back.

We stopped here for lunch after a long paddle from horsey. Perfect, filling pub grub, scampi excellent, veggie options and really kind staff. They even threw in some tea bags for our camping later!

We ate here twice last week and both occasions were just perfect. Well kept ale and lovely fresh food. Thank you.

Absolute gem of a find. Lovely pub in a beautiful village. Nice food, pretty garden and great service. Very dog friendly.

Nice little country pub. Didn't try the food but had a great pint of Lacons Encore.
