The Grayling in Great Yarmouth

Great place, great service and really good food at reasonable prices. An enjoyable celebratory lunch with family. Would certainly recommend.

Celebrating a birthday this evening and dropped into The Grayling by off chance. Couldn't have wished for a better meal

Again a lovely meal had the carvery this time was great lots if choice and food was cooked just right and hot. Staff were great and so welcoming

Had a lovely time at The Grayling with friends. Our server, Jordan, was really welcoming and took the time to go through the menu with me as I have a few allergies. Food was lovely and came out in a timely manner. All in all, would cone back again!

Cold carvery. Poor lasagne with old brown coloured salad.waited to order a dessert but gave up no one on the till.Thought we would give it another chance , as Poor when we last went

Four of us went for Sunday Carvery today we are regulars and it’s usually fine but today it was disgusting lack of vegetables, roast potatoes hardly done, the meats were tough apart from Turkey and very fatty. We got our food no gravy waited 5min for it whilst food getting cold. It eventually came put on food it was like warm and certainly was not a meat gravy probably a vegetarian gravy as it was very pale and tasted funny and powdery. Very very poor Grayling

Always good service with friendly/helpful staff. The carvey is always great but during the week there is slightly less choice of vegetables, but still good. Havn't had a bad meal yet. Booking in advance during the weekends is advisable.

Food was fantastic will defo be coming and the service from Izzy was great she really made us feel welcome well done to Toni she has a brilliant team !!!

Kind staff, wonderful food! The food came out at a reasonable time and it was amazing! Everyone loved their food that they got!

Came in Sunday pm, 8 of us in total, staff were very friendly and attentive, lovely atmosphere, I had the carvery and it was delicious!! All the food was piping hot and plenty of choice. Pub was clean and tidy inside and out and we all thoroughly enjoyed our time here, staff were so happy to help with anything and even better with the 30% privilege card ☺️

Went with a group of friends for a birthday meal and we all took part in the new quiz . Thoroughly enjoyed the night. Service was spot on as was the food. Will definitely be returning in 2 weeks time for the next quiz night

It was my granddaughters birthday and we went to the graylings the service was great and the food was delicious and very reasonable the staff when bringing our desserts put candles on my granddaughters and even sung happy birthday to her so went way beyond their normal duties .will definitely be going back.

We visited today 3/6/21 The last night of our little break away by far the best meal we’ve had all week Fantastic food & lovely staff Will definitely come again when we come back to Great Yarmouth

Minute portion of soup only 3 spoonfuls. Pasta served in tiny bowl garlic bread hard veg rationed with carvery as its not self service tiny pots of sauces cola flat

Dont come here if you want a warm or even just a welcoming welcome, the big scruffy man at front of house is rude, looks like he there for maintenance work. You have to be ask about 4 times before anyone even notices you in a empty restaurant may I add!!Food was cold. Unhappy to say the least.

I can’t fault the food or drinks was all top notch however what let it down was the long wait between asking us if we wanted another dessert or drink. We waited about 30/45 mins before asked and I think it was too long considering the amount of people that were there. The ladies were lovely and you could see they were working hard so it was understandable, maybe get a few more staff members and it would have been a 5/5

It's still eating outside but I really wanted a roast dinner, and this was absolutely spot on. We had a choice of half a dozen tables and there were several other diners because it was sunny. We phoned ahead and were informed that we could just turn up, the Covid protocols were straight forward, and our waitress was friendly, efficient and never forgot about us. We got exactly the roast dinner we ordered and it soon came really hot and fresh. It was a good value lunch, and we would definitely recommend this place, even if you have to eat outside. Just wear appropriate clothing.

Visited the Grayling for our anniversary drink (we go every year) was greeted by lovely friendly staff, especially our server Toni.Everything was very covid friendly and felt safe.All the food that was coming out looked lovely and fresh so we are definitely booking a meal next time (mixed grill)

I went to the grayling this weekend and was served by manger Toni she was so polite and happy to help with any requests.The food was delicious and our little boy loved how friendly the staff was even with them wearing masks and staying to the Covid restrictions if anyone is nervous about going out for there first meal the grayling is definitely the place to go :) even tho we was sat outside it was a brilliant experience.

Had a meal out with friends for the first time since lockdown, had an amazing experience at the Grayling, served by Jo who was fantastic, very friendly and great customer service. Will definitely be back again

This place has thought of everything to be covid safe, sat in garden with my children, food was hot and yummy, the service was great, was served by Toni and she was so polite and friendly. Will definitely return soon.

Came here for my first post lockdown meal, was greeted straight away and talked through the changes, didn’t mind eating outside due to lovely weather. Food was great and our server Toni was excellent! Can’t wait to visit again soon.

Had a lovely meal today, staff were attentive and looked after us. Food arrived quickly and piping hot. Will definitely be back

My husband and I throughly enjoyed our meal at the Grayling . It was out 1st meal after lockdown and we felt that all safety / CoVid aspects were covered. The food was delicious and cooked to our specifications.. Our server Toni was fantastic, she was kind, friendly and very helpful..We are looking forward to going back soon.

Stood for ten minutes waiting to get shown to our table. Meal was ok, wouldn't be rushing back. Carvery was warm and after asking for plenty of gravy I got an egg cup full. No staff anywhere to be seen, so no chance of any extra. No Alternatives to chips with any other meals. ,Had to wait ages for meal, sauces in sachets and 1 ketchup between 2 kids and tutting when asked for more. wouldn't be rushing back.

A chain pub, but it had the "carvery" option that suited my daughters appetites. The food was value for money, and enjoyed by the girls and my wife. I opted for a non carvery meal and couldn't complain. Staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, very satisfying visit.

Been going here for over 4 years while on holiday. The food here has always been good but not this year. Had a carvery which they bring to the table because of the Covid 19, so you can’t see the food you want to eat. Unfortunately it turned out that the food was dry and had no flavour, possibly where it had been standing too long under the heat lamps. A very disappointing experience.

First visit since new restrictions put into place. Ordered 2 small plate roasts. Couldn't justify the price increase from £5.79 to £7.79. Had to ask the miserable waiter for condiments which obviously prompted him to automatically bring out to other customers who had placed orders after. Won't be returning anytime soon.

I would not recommend. Gain undercooked. Eggs snottyPeas hard. Scampi undercooked. Peas hard. Disgusting Only one sanitiser station Could not help ourselves at carvery.Don't bother. Go somewhere else.

We have been regularly coming to the grayling for a few years now... the carverys are amazing and also the steaks are cooked to perfection and the prices are very reasonable... the staff are very pleasant and would go out of there way for you... the manageress toni was especially kind in taking other bookings for us even while on her lunch break

Very good service and food, just over £30 for 4 meals with the eat in to help out scheme. Very happy.

Fantastic, attentive, cheerful and helpful staff. Steak perfectly cooked and very tasty. We initially sat outside but staff were very accommodating in moving us when a table became available inside. Would definitely recommend and would visit again

Having visited the Grayling on several occasions always with positive occasions we thought we would give it a go post Lockdown,Everything was just superb, The Lovely lady who greeted us was 1st Class, I commented to my Husband how Lovely the team works together so well and politely and efficiently, The food came out quick and was faultless. The Carvery was Beautiful.The team has implemented a good.covid System which the public respected and followed. Two of my children have autism but they remained calm and relaxed throughout.I have always praised the Grayling to family and friends and will continue to do so. Thank you all for a wonderful time, see you in a couple of weeks.

We had an amazing time at the grayling. Restaurants now are so hell bent on being tided to red tape that they lose the atmosphere, the reason why we like to go out as a family in the first place. But there at the grayling the staff are so accommodating, polite, engaging, and professionally. Special mention to toni having a lovely greeting and telling us what to do with this covid-19 restrictions. Another special mention to Jason who came with great enthusiasm to our table and asked us how we had been and made our whole family feel welcome and couldn't do enough for us.Highly recommended this restaurant.

Thought we would drop in here for a quick lunch as we had passed by many times, and always said we would try it out. Well we won't be going again!! The smell of old grease in the air was horrible, my husband asked for a pint of draught Peroni only to be told "something went wrong with the delivery" ok we can understand this, then asked for a pint of bitter "Oh sorry no Bitter, what is going on. Anyway I had a bottle of Budweiser, asked for a glass with it, well the glass looked as though it had been around for years and years. My husband had a Pt of Pedigree which was so bad he couldn't drink, he said it tasted sour! Have to say we didn't order food or drink our drinks, instead we left and found somewhere more pleasant. Poor customer care, only one friendly member off staff that we spoke to on our way out, a lovely girl.

The Grayling is a family orientated pub restaurant,the staff are friendly ,welcoming and helpful,they have a wide selection of drinks the food is excellent.Toni Andy and Jason are always polite, staff work hard and are fantastic to help out when u require anything

I Visited The Grayling in Great Yarmouth on the 12th August. My first impression extremely poor as the lady (Toni Sawyer) greeting us was very offhand and miserable. I had booked two reservations and was told they cancelled one as they thought it must have been double booked in error. This was not the case. Fortunately she was able to still accommodate us but certainly was not happy about it. All they needed to do was check as they had my email address. On arrival to the table it was very dirty, with dried ketchup and salt scattered on the table and very sticky in places. We always have the right to expect cleanliness but certainly even more so in the middle of a pandemic. I asked for the table to be cleaned and in a loud voice across the restaurant she said to the person responsible for cleaning tables that I had complained. His answer was “I’m sorry if I missed one little spot!!!” Both being very sarcastic. I have to say despite this the standard of the food was acceptable and the waitress Nicky lovely and friendly. However I would not visit this place again.

Service very very slow have been waiting one hour and food still not arrived have asked but to no avail

We have used the grayling lots over the last 2 years of living in yarmouth and never had a problem always left glowing reviews. Today was special for us as a family so we booked well in advance as we had my sister and family staying on holiday. The place was empty when we arrived at 2 only us and one other table. The Carvery was awful nobody got what they ordered and it was terrible, no roast potato's on plate so had to go and ask and when they came they were hard Aunt Bessie jobs, also the meat was gristly and not a lot of it. We were back and forth asking to change things so many times it ruined the day we didn't even bother with the cakes we were looking forward to. Would not of happened if Caroline was still with us and working there. We have put a lot of custom the graylings way because of our holiday let's but wouldn't now Absolutely terrible. Avoid and try a independent pub that does a carvery

Social distance in place , sanitiser at the door and paper disposable menus .Sadly despite long wait had horrific food. Smothered chicken was some minute sparrow offering probably died of old age how dry and grey the meat was . Small dribble of bottle bbq sauce and a melted cheese slice hidden under half a piece of burnt bacon. Returned to kitchen once and second attempt possibly 10% better .Kids meal tepid but they ate them.Gammon meal just about ok but nothing special.Second time not been happy so thats it we have done wont ever go again

First time in a restaurant for myself and my friend since Covid 19 lockdown and must say felt very safe with signs/hand sanitiser/floor markers everywhere. Food was lovely as usual, staff helpful and happy, felt completely at ease with it all and will definitely be returning next month. Thank you

I was greeted at the door by Toni, who was lovely and explained everything to me. The food was really nice, the staff were also polite.

I love going to the Graylyn for food it’s always lovely there the staff are so polite and get in greeted at the door by Toni to explain how everything works made it a lot more simpler the food was excellent and the deserts are even better even though it’s a limited menu it’s definitely worth the meal out :)

Good friendly place, good choice on menu. Any problems Toni was eager to help sort out and was efficient, courteous in her manner. Clean and Covid 19 standards abided by. All in all a good experience.

We had a very enjoyable meal at the Grayling. The new procedure was very clear and social distancing and hygiene measures visible but not off putting. The staff were lovely and the meals good quality. Carvery meals were available, only difference being they were plated up by the chef. Would definitely recommend.

We just visited here, thinking we would stop for a quick meal. Saw they had a carvery on and thought great, let’s go for that. It looked terrible when it came out with rock hard inedible stuffing and grey carrots but we tried to persevere until my 8 year old son asked why his potato had seeds? On closer inspection we found it was rotten through with Black Mould!!! We immediate requested a refund and left immediately. Worst carvery I have ever seen and that is saying something!!

Excellent food, staff and exceptional value for money! I can reassure you that you will not be disappointed!

After shopping in Tesco we called in for a carvery . The food was very good and the selection of vegetables excellent . The meats could have been better presented but the turkey tasted very OK . Service was with a smile and couldn't be faulted . Parking was easy and the overall experience was good .

Food was ok. All meats very dry and tough, vegetables standard. Miserable waitress with glasses no eye contact or enthusiasm to be there. Made no effort in any kind of conversation. Puddings were good, huge slices of cake far put weighed the main meals. Wouldn’t go out of my way to go again, noting up to Toby Carvery a standard. Not my first choice today as didn’t enjoy my meal last time we visited but as close to B&Q which is where we were with heavy bags and closest thing to us didn’t have much choice. MEAT on Carvery very unsatisfactory which lets it down big time! Won’t be visiting again in a hurry.

Booked a table online 4 days prior to visit (bare in mind you dont have to book you just have to take any seat and order at the bar) and a table was reserved for us. From start to finish everything went perfect. Our waitress was on the ball to deliver and clear our plates. And she didnt feel the need to ask if everything was ok when we all had a mouth full of food which is always a rare pleasantry at most restaurants. Now there is nothing that sets of the meal better then getting EXACTLY what you ordered first time round. Both rump steaks were cooked perfectly I only wish I had chosen a better cut of meat as I'm fully aware rumps tend to be fatty and excessive chewing of food stresses me out so more fool me but the chefs couldnt have made it more enjoyable Lady behind the bar this evening (7/3/2020) I believe her name was jo, was an exceptional asset to the team. Nothing was too much trouble and she did everything with a smile. Big thanks to all the team involved.

Visited with my husband and youngest daughter. Great atmosphere, excellent service. Prices are very reasonable. Clean and tidy too! Very happy and will visit again.

Seem to becoming Regulars at the grayling, not had a bad meal yet. Foods quick and nice brilliant value for money, even has a little indoor play for the little ones in this horrible weather, service is extra good when Nicki is working

Great value carvery, lovely staff, good and clean. We will be back. We both had carvery, carrots green beans, roasties and boiled potato,leek, peas and cauliflower cheese, tasty gravy.

Visited today for lunch and everything was great. We had fish and chips and a turkey and stuffing ciabatta both were spot on. Served today by Jo who was very helpful. 👌

Went in for dinner with my wife and son, was welcomed at the door and asked where we would like to be sat. Food was fast and beautiful as always. Top marks to Andy and toni.

Me my husband and son (1 years old) came for a meal yesterday lunch was greeted with a smile and a welcome by Toni she seated us on a booth with plenty of room for the little ones buggy and high chair. I then got served immediately at the bar by Andy who was happy to help with my questions and very polite too . When the food came it was delicious and took less than 20 minutes I would definitely recommend this pub to people I know. Quick service, brilliant food and welcoming staff .

2for £11 great value . Had chicken burger meal last time but today had Yorkshire pudding wrap ! Clearly microwaved as Yorkshire had gone chewy , plenty of meat inside . Not sure roast potato inside went well with the chips it was served with . Only managed half of the Yorkshire pudding wrap as was huge.

wow we went to the graylings as our 1st choice the local toby carvery is being refurbed, it was 2pm and suprisingly not busy with captin manbys being shut, The welcome we recieved from which i presume was the manager an older gentleman was far from welcoming. everyone has there off days i guess, as we were in a hurry we opted for the carvey. we stood there waiting to be served the manager saw we were waiting but did not fetch us a chef, finaly a chef turned up and served us some very dry over cooked meat, the veg was far from pleasent ether cold carrots non crispy potatoes, brown cauliflower cheese, red cabbage and peas, the stuffing was worse than paxo cheap dried out with no flavour, ( if i was in charge and knowing that captin manbys was closed i would make more effot to try and steal customers) we did eat it as we hungry and had just finish a long walk with the pooch and had to pick our daughter up so we did not have time to complain or go else where. the only reason that i scored poor and not terrible was as we were leaving a female member of staff possibly management too! thanked us and said bye

booked table 2 weeks prior for a treat after the stresses of xmas,

Lunchtimecarvery was nice but average . Prices was good value and meat portion on standard meal was reasonable .

Lovely as always five stars to nicola and emily,always make a fuss of us. Feels like a second home ... thanks girls see you next week

Upon arrival you can just go and find any table that tickles your fancy. We obviously chose a big ole comfy booth. We approached the bar to order with one person ahead of us. The person behind the bar was incredibly slow which had no effect of us as another team member served us in quick time. Drinks and carvery ordered and we were off. All the food on the carvery was piping hot. The beef melted in your mouth and the Turkey was perfect!

I ordered the classic chicken burger with 3 chicken strips, it tasted like McDonalds chicken selects on a plate. It came with a delicious plate of chips which I drowned in vinegar(my favourite way to eat chips). Felt satisfyingly full but the only gripe was it took so long to come that those of us who’d ordered carvery had already finished. We had booked for 2pm so hardly a busy time however it gave us time to make the most of the free refil Pepsi Max.

Had a lovely meal here. The food was quick and hot. Lots of choice. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Only thing which is a problem is that the car park is a bit of a walk to the entrance. Ok if you have no mobility problems. My parents would love to eat here again but cannot walk from the car park as both are registered disabled. Be good if there was an entrance car park side.

What a great public house clean friendly staff and fantastic food the Carvery is the tops a nice atmosphere

Went for lunch today, chose the 2 for £11 carvery. Cannot fault one thing, meat was delicious and tender, great choice of veg, all cooked to perfection and very tasty, the gravy was absolutely delicious, made with meat juice. Was all piping hot. Would recommend The Grayling to anyone..we will be back

Called in to the Grayling on the spur of the moment, my wife and I ordered the medium carver that was on offer for £11 for the two of us, the meat was very tender and the vegetables were all very good. Really good value, we will visit again when in Gt Yarmouth

Went in for carvery on Saturday dec 7th- meat DRY,carrots and cabbage swimming in water,Yorkshire’s rubbery,The leaks were in a dried out dish,they looked disgusting.The gravy was warm.And all around the gravy pot it was everywhere.All these things should be looked at.very very disappointing.But the barmaid EMILY was excellent,great service.Also The chef again was very cheerful and pleasant.Just sort that carvery.Presentation is key!!

The carvery was appaulling. This was early evening 6.30 and the vegetable turines were almost empty and what was available was grey and unappetising. Two meats only available and the last remnants of larger joints, by the look of it. The gravy had a skin on it! However, the sweet was delicious so the meal was not entirely spoiled. The food from the kitchen was of much better standard. Staff friendly and efficient.

Visited this establishment today,with my elderly mother.We were greeted by a pleasant bar gentleman,who pointed to a table for two. We decided to have the carvery, big mistake, it was luke warm,the gravy was cold.We decided to visit early because food would be hot,but no. Another big problem was the music,so loud,we literally had to shout or lip read each other. If we visit again,the carvery would be no,no.

Awful food awful service. And food poisoning From underprepared scampi, no response from staff when contacted. Save your self (literally) and nip over to McDonalds instead

We went here for a meal. It was really nice and filling. Great service too. Would definitely go here again.

Had a lovely meal there an a gorgeous pudding Staff was really friendly, it was a busy lunchtime but Jo the waitress was really helpful and was always there when we needed her

Visited today for some lunch with some friends. It was one of the worst experiences we have had. The food was disgusting, tasted like it had been warmed up in the microwave and stuck on the plate. The bar staff were rude. Will definitely not be visiting here ever again. We have left feeling hungry and disappointed. Waste of money!!!

Visited today thought would give it another chance . Great helpful staff, food awful .Chicken was dry , and portions were very small.My aunt had the fish and again dry and very small. Very disappointed

I visited here tonight with 2 children and two other adults. My 15 year old is a very fussy eater and only liked the choice on the kids menu. I explained this when ordering and was told this was not an issue for hom to order a kids meal. Three of us ordered adult meals. However when the kids meal was brought out, the waitress stared at my son when I told her who the meal was for. She then went and whispered to a young waitress next to our table. The young waitress then stared at us while being whispered to making us feel we were being talked about! I asked for a glass of orange which was paid for with the kids meal. A woman came over who I think was the manager as she was dressed all in black, different to all other staff. She questioned me about whether I had paid for the drink and had to prove this by showing her the receipt. I asked her for my sons pudding to be brought out as he had finished his main. When she brought it out, she said to us 'I could have brought a bigger spoon but I decided not too'. This I think was due to her brining out a very small like tea spoon for him to eat with which is what they provide to children. Obviously she knew my son wasn't a small child but she decided to be extremely rude and obnoxious. There was no need for her or the other two members of staff to be the way they were. I checked ordering the kids meal was ok before we ordered and paid to be told this was fine. I will never return here. These staff in particular need to be trained on how to be polite in general. I will be sure to let all my friends and family know exactly how bad this place is and to avoid at all costs!

2 meals for £11 . Good value . Carvery was pretty good . Good veg selection and tasty beef .. Staff friendly and helpful .

First time here & was impressed with the carvery, the only downside was queuing at the bar for ages to get served ! Very good value for money

yes not to bad staff all happy not to busy sat where you liked food not that hot but not warm enough to complain will call again

Whilst staying with good friends in Norfolk we visited The Grayling Gt. Yarmouth 9today for lunch. The food choice is really good. We chose from the £ 11.00 menu.

2 carveries for £11 which was lovely and plenty of choice. Bar staff very friendly and chef was extremely friendly and even recommended a wildlife park to visit which we did and was amazing

Veg very watery and over cooked. 8.69 for tiny portion of meat. Huge yorkshires.. sorry will not return

We visited here while away in our camper van. We had the 2 for 11, The carvery was lovely and the chef was very generous with the meat plus we had apple pie for dessert. In fact the whole meal was outstanding. The service was good and the ambience if the place was relaxing and chilled. This was a weekday lunchtime visit, so nit sure how it would be on a weekend. But the staff where very accommodating and helpfully. Will definitely visit again.

We went there for the first time with friends today,a wet Tuesday! A very clean and welcoming place,the staff were friendly and pleasant. The men had the mixed grill and we had scampi and a Sandwich with fries, the orders arrived looked and tasted lovely,we progressed onto the sweets which were very reasonably priced and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit,the seating was actually comfortable to sit on!

Just had a great meal staff friendly and welcoming The food is great as usual. I would recommend this place to everyone

Went for carvery lunch on a Monday. We were the second couple up, the chef carving was friendly and very helpful, veg selection was good. We both had the beef and it was just Wow! Everything was lovely and hot and we both cleared our generously filled plates, so sadly no room for dessert. The service was very good from the man on the till, the chef and the waitress, would definitely recommend and return.

Went here yesterday with my husband and kids. First impression wasnt great, really should have left at that point but kids were hungry. I smiled at the bar lady as she walked passed she looked the other way very poker faced!! Found a table easily moved a couple of times due to sticky messy tables. Ordering food was simple enough although again no friendly service from the same lady. Waited to be told we could go up for our carvery, when we did there was nobody there to assist so we grabbed our own plates which were dirty so kept looking for clean ones. We then got told off for doing this as you are supposed to wait for assistance, not that we would know this as nobody told us. Got a good amount of meat served up and the carvery guy was friendly enough, told him about dirty plates which he started checking out. Knife and forks arrived which again were dirty, we were sitting nxt to knife and fork unit so as no staff were around I helped myself to clean ones, that didnt go down well. As we were sitting eating our food one waitress and the very poker faced bar lady were talking loudly next to our table they made comments about a traveler family that had been in earlier in the day and how they had all their kids with them. The rest of the conversation about the travellers was just to offensive to put into words on here. Poker face then went on to make digs about me helping myself ...shocked to say the least!! The food was mostly frozen apart from the meat. Potatoes not even edible. Very confrontational staff which made me feel I couldn't complain. This place has potential but not with staff like that. Wont visit again that's for sure !!!

We went as family of five, 4 Adults and 1 child, we order two Carvery main course and 2 main course from main menu, when we went to get over carvery to be told they had one beef, the meat we were given was so small and we had the larger plate plus pigs in blankets added to them. The stuffing was like rubber the vegetables were cold and To top it all a man from the kitchen refilled the mash potato and licked his fingers in front of use. Will not be visiting again.

Took the wife, son and his girlfriend. Table hadn't been cleaned - fair enough it happens, however when it was cleaned they used the spray with our drinks sitting on the table, when finished it was still the same.

Went to The Grayling for the first time 2 nights ago. Stood inside the entrance as we didn’t know how the seating works there. After a couple of minutes, a waitress walked towards us, I smiled as I thought she would help! But no, she looked at us, totally ignored us and turned about!! I then said ‘do we wait to be seated?’ The lady behind the bar said ‘no pick any table’... We sat next to a dumb waiter, and looked through the menu. Again we didn’t know how to order! The same waitress walked to the dumb waiter. I asked ‘do we order at the table or go to the bar’. She didn’t even cast an eye towards us and said ‘go to the bar’ and walked away. At this point, we got up and left! I don’t expect al-la-cart from a multi-chain eatery, but I do at least expect to be received with a little curtesy. We felt like we were an inconvenience.... obviously I can’t comment on the food as we didn’t get that far..

We had the carvery. This came in different plate sizes small medium and large. Great for anyone who does not want a lot of food. The meat was tender and juicy plenty of vegetable choice. Would recommend and definitely visit again. There is also a lot of delicious desserts if you have room

This is the head chef, using a plastic floor broom to wipe the grill. Safe to say this is the grossest thing ever.

Having just given a review of the Sand Martin in Cardiff which was to say the least not very good,then going to the Grayling (a member of the same chain of pub/restaurants ) was as different as chalk and cheese.

Cheap & cheerful food, you get what you paid for. Bar staff were fantastic. We had carvery- potatoes so hard you couldn’t cut through them, but the rest was nice. Puddings we’re good & good value for money.

Went there with my family for lunch. There were quite a few empty tables when we arrived so thought we wouldnt have to wait long. When you arrive you have to wait to be seated which is fine, except for the fact there were 2 staff serving a busy bar (this is understandable) and another 2 just folding napkins and gossiping together. After 20 minutes of waiting to be seated we gave up and went next door to frankie & Benny's where we were seated and served straight away. In future I wouldnt even give the grayling consideration.

We never have a bad experience here, this is primarily due to the excellent attentive service from Caroline, an absolute diamond who makes sure every meal service is superb. Out granddaughters love to see her and when we come as a couple, they are upset because Caroline to them is The Grayling! Honest, great value food, but service that is second to none ! Xx

Hot delicious food! Quick, quality service! Thank you Caroline, Nicola and Andy. Lovely surroundings! Once again never fails to meet expectations.

Meals are ok, as we go there often but will say today the man behind the bar told my husband to go wait in the que after he'd paid for refillable drinks , normally wouldn't mind but today que was Very long , it better of could serve you in between , as you've paid , instead of waiting with people who are waiting to pay and give there order

This is a fantastic pub/ restaurant! We have been coming here for several years now and we are always warmly welcomed when we come in. The staff are lovely especially Caroline and Toni who have been welcoming us from the beginning . The carvery is delicious and food from the menu is freshly cooked to order. Very good value for money, and we would recommend The Grayling to anyone .

We arrived with no booking at about 4pm and we're quickly seated. The food was hot and very good. The desserts were served shortly after being ordered. The only thing we noticed was a server having her break in the outside seating area with her feet up on the seat and smoking where it was not allowed.
