Greyhound Inn in Carlisle

Great landing point to break up walk from start of Hadrian's Wall walk west end to Carlisle

Lovely little pub, made to feel very welcome x

♡Warm welcome♡dog friendly♡superb food♡THANK YOU!☆

No food on a Thursday! Nice beer and very welcoming.

Went for a drink in the early September sunshine. Staff and regulars were super friendly, making conversation etc. Very friendly pub, highly recommend

great place, lovely food and amazing staff.

This pub is a must visit if you’re around Lake District. Beautiful and cozy ambience. Staff was warm and welcoming🍻

Great pub food, friendly staff and locals. Dogs welcome which is a bonus as we don't like to leave our elderly & blind pooch behind.

A much appreciated warm welcome from Derek at the Greyhound inn. Lovely steak pie with mash, veg and super gravy, top notch!

Great pub with excellent food, especially the Macaroni cheese. Friendly staff and very competitive prices! Thoroughly recommend

Nice spot and good ale. Can't give 5 stars for it all as I just nipped in for a pint and I've no idea about the grub. Staff were friendly.

Brilliant local pub. Loads of outside space with benches to sit in the sun on the rare occasion it comes out! Dog friendly and campervan friendly (as long as there is room and you check with them on arrival) They do food which from my experience has always been very nice, typical oub food. Small family run so is a nice relaxed pace.

Been today had light lunch and couple of pints lovely place and food was lovely. Shame I had to walk back 7 miles lol 😆

Only had a nice drink and crisps going back in October for food

Started in Solway in the morning and stopped midday for lunch and a pint at Greyhound Inn. It was a great stop! The hostess was very friendly and helpful. Beer (and cider) choices were nice and the food menu was perfect for the much anticipated pub lunch. It was a rainy day so we couldn't enjoy the garden but inside was warm and comfortable. Some locals were there and everyone seemed to have at least one dog with them... which was great!

Very welcoming, good choice of lunch time food and beer

A lovely lunch was enjoyed by our party of 4. The menue comprised of a selection which catered for many tastes, and we were not disappointed. 😄

My first visit and it was well worth the ride up there. Great location and very friendly people. Will certainly visit again 😆

Lovely welcome for me and the woofs stopping for a pint in the sunshine. Lady behind the bar was lovely and felt welcomed by the friendly regulars. Great pint of ale as well!

After our first leg of the Hadrians wall path a roast beef dinner and a few beers on a wet day was very welcome, service was great.

Very rude man behind the bar. Should not be in hospitality. A group of 14 walked into the bar and he was rude to every single one of them. I can see by previous reviews, this is his normal presentation. Give it a miss

I wouldn’t bother visiting. Rude landlord! We were waiting in the beer garden for the pub to open. We would have had several pints and food but were told we couldn’t wait there and to move on - really rude. Even after we explained that we were wanting to order drinks and food he still rudely told us to move to the park next door. Doesn’t deserve any business.

Picnic tables outside and friendly to walkers.

It was a pleasant stop on our trip. The food was good, the drinks too. Upon request, there was also the option of leaving our motorhome in the parking lot overnight. Thanks for that.

Stopped in while walking the HW trail. We both had a couple of very welcome pints of local ale while waiting out the rain.

Fabulous lunch - very glad we stopped along our way for Day 1 of Hadrian's Wall walk! Freshly prepared battered cod and chips, served with fresh coleslaw. I'd choose the Greyhound Inn again, even if there were other options along the route!

Delightful country puɓ. Just stopped for a few drinks with friends. Lovely host, clean and great atmosphere

Stopped by during our first leg of the Hadrian's wall walk. Lovely pub conveniently located on the path. Good assortment of beer and good service.

Lovely local pub on the hadrians wall path, does food with meat supplied from local butcher. All the locals are friendly and chatty. On bus route. Dog friendly.

Friendly owner in this well located pub if you are walking along Hadrian’s Wall. We all just had paninis which were adequate.

Good prices, friendly staff, square sausage to die for, very welcome pit stop for this part of HADRIAN'S wall walk

Popped in on the off chance, had a lovely meal. Good beer, good service.

We were looking for a stopover near the M6 and found this pub on google. It was a quiet Monday night but the food was amazing. Best steak pie I have ever had in a pub. Landlord kindly allowed us to stay the night in our camper van in the car park. Would definitely recommend

Fitted us straight in after turned away by a partially full pub a mile or so away. Glad they did as gentleman who served us was great. Food was great. Great price and great atmosphere plus met the friendliest dog ever. Thoroughly recommend if in the area Really really good proper food 5 stars

A delightful country pub, vastly improved by the latest management and a wonderful hidden gem, excellent Sunday lunch menu.

Awesome pub, worth a drive out of Carlisle for good food and a pint.

Parked just up the road from the Greyhound while walking the local area with our dog. The pub had just opened when we got back so decided to drop in for a quick drink but ended up having some food as well. Great pub find, great atmosphere, great food, good prices. Great walks in the local area as well..

We called in here for lunch after a walk along the Hadrian's Wall and were very pleased with our choice. The food was excellent in terms of quality and price. The service was also excellent and the owners were very friendly. Thanks for a great meal.

Stopped last night on the car park in my campervan, the manageres said it was OK to do so, we rang ahead to check. No pressure to have food all she ask we have a few beers in the pub. The manageress (sorry forgotten your name) was very helpful and a friendly host, good atmosphere. Definitely a 5 star pub stopover will stop again when I'm travelling to or from Scotland.

Just popped in for a drink. Warm welcome. Lovely place. Dog friendly.

A warm welcome, home made soup and a fire in the wood burner greeted us- all much appreciated on our walk along Hadrian’s Wall

2 real ales on ,popped in while waiting for the bus back to Carlisle. Tried the 2 ales on were nice and the pub is worth a visit

Drove down here for lunch while staying in Dumfries for a few days,we were not disappointed, the food was excellent,my husband had the steak pie & chips & i had 9oz steak burger with salad & chips ,friendly staff & very reasonable prices, also dog friendly. Would highly recommend.

A great village pub with friendly staff We’re not from the area but this is the second time we’ve had lunch here and it’s never disappointed us plus it’s dog friendly so no need to leave Fido at home

What a find. Looked for a country pub after leaving Gretna. This came up and definitely did not disappoint. Very welcoming, excellent food & pricing, great visual music. Local knowledge by local people. What a find. We have a dog and there is a park next door with country walks. Perfect. Statue of Edward I, who was killed & buried here. Definite worth the find. Recommend.

Worth the walk for these homemade chips! Walking the Hadrians Way our group arranged to have lunch at the Greyhound Inn. A lovely welcome by management. We were impressed by the quality and reasonable price of the food served. I would not normally order chips as I do not enjoy eating tasteless, frozen chips. But so glad I did as the chips here were delicious. Proper home made chips served piping hot, crispy outer with a beautiful flavour. The burger, cumberland sausage and paninis were all very tasty, but the chips were exceptional. I live in Scotland and returned a few weeks later with my husband for lunch - and he agreed the best chips !! We will be back!

Lovely place and hosts. Food is excellent quality & very good value for money. We enjoyed it so much we paid it a return visit. The steak pie was one of the best we have tasted, came with chips or mash & plenty of veg. Very dog friendly. Give it a try if you are in the area.

Great spot to end the day's hike.

Great little pub and grub in the middle of nowhere. Lovely friendly staff, and customers.

Good food good drink good prices

We had a rare day without our Children, so decided we would go for lunch. from the moment we entered we were greeted warmly and the service was great. I got the all day breakfast with Lorne sausage and my husband got the Homemade Macaroni Cheese. Both meals were cooked fresh and hot plenty to fill us at lunch time. Value for money. Will definitely be back.

Great place and very friendly staff and customers. Not often do you walk into a village pub abd feel so welcome.

Stopped for lunch on way back from exploring Solway coast. Dog friendly always good for us. Proper country pub. Made to feel welcome straight away. Good quality and value food. Nice peaceful beer garden, could have eaten inside, but the weather was too nice. The staff where friendly and chatty. Rocco the dog was a bonus. If we return to the area again will definitely paying a return visit.

Had a drink and something to eat. Excellent one must say. Very friendly and excellent service. Dog friendly pub .

Great village pub. Enjoyed a pint of Timothy Taylor.

The final stop on our walk from Tynemouth to Bowness, and the most enjoyable, the most welcoming, the best value. Friendly, helpful staff, generous portions of delicious food, and the best-kept pint of Timothy Taylor I have had in a long time. Put this pub on your travel itinerary.

Have not tried the food yet butits nice and friendly and also dog friendly

Went for lunch and a completely different atmosphere since my last visit. Ladies behind the bar chatty and food was improved too. Felt welcomed and the service was excellent. So impressed I came back for the bingo/quiz night which was great fun. The new management are really trying to make this the hub of the village. Special thanks to the lady called Judith.

Amazing beers on tap! And great ambiance! The waiters were super friendly!

had the steak pie which was excellent.

Brilliant service, food, and affordable prices

We didn't have time to stay and eat but the ladies behind the bar were warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back to eat

Really good home cooked food. Hugely exceeded our expectations. Great spot for lunch on hadrians wall path

Cracking ale house just what we needed after 24 miles Sam the barmaid was excellent font of knowledge the steak pie was the best I’ve ever had an I mean ever washed down with an excellent pint of Guinness sent us home happy 😃

Friendly and helpful staff. Lovely panini, gorgeous homemade chips and washed down with a pint of inches cider. Lovely, have visited before and will go back again when in the area 👍

Called today for lunch lovely village pub with a very good food menu and prices very competitive we both ordered the All Day Breakfast it was served piping hot and very generous portions it was one of the best Breakfasts I have ever tasted. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. We cannot understand the negative comments made in some reviews as we could not find fault with this lovely pub. Will definitely be returning. Keep up the good work.

Just had lunch at Greyhound Inn and can't praise the experience enough, all the staff were very friendly and attentive, the food arrived in a timely manner and was piping hot, very generous with the portions and well cooked. The Greyhound Inn is well decorated, has a well stocked bar and a good selection of meals on the menu and is very well priced - it also has a warm village ambience about it, and the owners are working extremely hard to make it a "must go to place" - we will definitely be returning in the very near future, keep up the good work 🍻👍

I'm slightly perplexed by the very negative reviews here. I arrived at lunch and there were groups at four other tables all having lunch; all of them Hadrian's Wall walkers. I ordered lunch, it arrived quite quickly, it was nice pub grub, the young lad serving came and checked everything was OK. It's not the best pub I've ever visited but I'd happily return here.

Poor experience, visiting friends who live in the area, met with a cold reception at the bar, we asked if any tables were free, rudely said he couldn’t hear my friend, we ordered drinks and sat at a table, at any other welcoming place you’re asked if you are wanting food, however we weren’t really spoken to, we then sat down and my friend went to the bar for menus only to be told they couldn’t serve us food as they were too busy, I think 2 x tables were already eating their food, and another 2 x tables were reserved but not occupied, nor were they whilst we had our one drink (which I extremely begrudge paying for now), huh too busy, kind of reminded of that scene from American werewolf in London ‘there’s nothing for you here’. We were all really annoyed, bearing on my mind we had 2 yr old and 9yr old who were very hungry. Clearly don’t need the business, most unwelcome I’ve felt in a pub. I would perhaps recommend another line of work for the landlord as clearly speaking or dealing with the general public his not one of his skill sets….avoid.

Called in on a quiet Monday evening for dinner. The welcome was rather cold and the landlords persona rather sad and solemn. We got talking to a couple who, like us, lived in a nearby village and so had a nice time and thought maybe the landlord was just having an off day. The food was fine. Today, having been out with visiting friends for the day, we decided to stop for some food on our return home. The pub was half full, with only a couple of tables eating at the time. It was early doors, being 5pm and raining, so no one outside. Another cold welcome, we ordered some drinks at the bar and sat down at an empty table. Two were reserved. On returning to the bar to enquire about menus, the landlord told a young member of staff no food was available because they had 2 tables reserved. He didn't even have the decency to just tell us this himself. Nor ask when we first entered the pub and were ordering drinks whether our intention was to eat. No apology given either. My experience from other places are if they are rushed off their feet or not able to provide food, that they would be proactive when you order drinks to ask if your intention is to have a meal and let you know that either the kitchen is closed or that there will be a long wait if you are wanting food. I accept we hadn't booked, but it was early and the nearby Drover's Rest inn and King's Arms are always very accommodating, welcoming and will bend over backwards to fit you in for food when they are busy.....but the Greyhound wasn't even busy or full, or sorry that they couldn't seem to accommodate us. If they can't even cope with their limited number of tables on a wet day, then I dread to think what it would be like on a warm dry day, given the number of outdoor tables they have. Won't bother returning, we clearly aren't welcome anyway! Will stick to the other local establishments that give you a smile and act like they enjoy their jobs.

Called in for a quick lunch and then a walk around the historic village. Friendly pub with helpful staff and landlord.

Lovely pub with 4 real ales for choice. Great views outside in pub garden

Have visited this establishment on a few occasions recently and was not disappointed - good food and great location - only downside we felt the staff could of been a bit friendlier especially the male behind the bar who brought us out meal & also cleared away our plates - not once did he ask was everything ok it had we enjoyed our meal !! Fortunately we had enjoyed our meal & did return & will return again just hope he has a customer service course & that will make the place 5* then !!

Traveling past on our bike trip, decided to stop for a drink. Bought 4 pints, only had 1 choice of larger. sat outside in the beer garden, and the landlord came out and remonstrated with us because we was eating a sandwich from our packed lunch.

Had a nice and tasty Sunday lunch ,pleasant staff and plenty place to park

Stopped by for a lite snack. Friendly service, great beer garden.

Lovely pub stayed over night in motorhome quiet over night tasty genius home cooked food reasonably priced staff friendly and helpful would recommend would stay again

Lovely pub fab home cooked menu generous portions good motorhome stopover quiet overnight good dog walking area next to pub flat surface

Friendly staff, great food and the beer isn't too bad either 😎

Passed by on the way to the caravan seen a sign for good food and beer and they weren’t lying very welcoming place great atmosphere and superb food would definitely recommend if passing to stop in, The steak pie was absolutely amazing with a great selection of beers on draught will definitely be back again.

We called in for a light lunch and a cuppa coffee. I had soup and a gluten free roll and my husband had a burger. The food was very good and the price was excellent. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The pub was clean and tidy.

Nice pint, very clean..but a very grumpy bar man. No please or thank you. Manners cost nothing.

Friendly service. I don't recommend the scone.

Called in after a long walk and had a lovely gammon steak with all the trimmings. Nice pub, friendly locals. A minor point, but my egg was hard, but it didn't spoil the meal. Would definitely recommend.

We had an excellent meal with our friends at the Greyhound. Great service and lovely locally sourced Cumberland Sausage and Steak Pie were the highlights. The real ale was great too! Highly recommended

Great pub. Stopped for a drink in their beer garden

Walking Hadrians Wall. Perfect lunch stop. Beer good. Burger even better. Just the job to get us to Carlisle.

Excellent fish and chips for lunch. Good size portions and a generous sized pot of tea. Nice pint too, and friendly service. Would stop there again next time we pass nearby.

We arrived with our motor home and got a really warm welcome from the new landlord who took over in August. Stay for free in your van in return for enjoying the lovely food and hospitality in this lovely country pub. Dogs very welcome. Great stop over and we will be back. We had such a warm welcome from both the locals and the landlord. Even vegan friendly.

Always friendly staff and locals.

Lovely place and always a warm welcome

Fabulous Sunday lunch …. Absolutely delicious ….. 5 Star *****

Came here whilst on holiday, was very welcoming & dog friendly.

Rather a strange atmosphere in this pub and as it was empty on a Sunday lunchtime that says it all really.. Stopped here for a lunchtime pint while walking Hadrians Wall. Beer was in good condition but won't be rushing back.

Lovely food and staff, a nice surprise while walking Hadrians wall, highly recommended.

New friendly owners, great atmosphere, good service and selection of well cellared cask.

De thee en cheeseroll waren lekker

Dated pub in the middle of nowhere. Pleasant enough staff and drinks. Good disabled toilet.

Stopped at this place when we were doing the Hadrian walk. But the new owners had many problems that day, and some of them were very confused. Charge us wrong and served us wrong cider. Very strange place...

Perfectly placed halfway between Carlisle and Bowness on the Hadrian's Wall path! Open 7 days a week, welcomes walkers. Ales, coffees and wonderful new owners!
