The Grey Horse Inn in Sunderland

Good food ,but staff not very welcoming a bit aggressive over minor complaint.locals in bar area hostile attitude. Won't be going back

Unfriendly staff they have an attitude problem wouldn't recommend worst pub I have ever been in absolutely terrible especially the owners

Food was average I had a curry and my daughter had a childrens menu Fish fingers meal which she mostly left because she didn't like it. Price was fair for what you got. £8.95 for a curry, £5.50 for childrens meal which included a small drink and I had a Tea £2.50 = £16.95. Biggest concern was that the female member of staff would not let my daughter use the bathroom unless she went with her. Took her to the gents but said not clean and lock broke. Of course my daughter don't go with her as she is a stranger to her. felt uncomfortable. But not a very considerate at all. And would not recommend any one to go there. Unless you want to deal with staff who have attitude problems.

Quality home cooked food, generous portions, reasonable prices. The chicken sweet chilli wrap & the beef hoisin wrap were delicious. Relaxing atmosphere, up to date background music,pleasant staff. What's not to like?

We come here EVERY week as a couple or we come with friends or family and sometimes both. The food is absolutely amazing whether it's midweek or Sunday dinner. 10/10 to chef David and coworkers. the bar/restaurant staff are so friendly, kind and nice. Joanne makes the best Blood Mary drink. Hilda the owner, Matthew, Alex and all the rest of the staff are brilliant all efficient and lovely genuine.people. We highly recommend eating here or just for a quiet drink. In a lovely quiet area and all the regular locals are all nice too.

Went on off chance the staff were really friendly and very efficient. The Sunday lunch was beautiful very tasty I would definitely go back.

I’ve had lovely Sunday lunches here before. Not sure why but today wasn’t quite as good, the normally melt in the mouth beef wasn’t up to normal standards, not sure if it was a different chef or different meat supplier but although it tasted nice I left half as it was hard to cut and I eventually gave up. Rest of meal was lovely. Whatever’s changed needs to change back to how it was last month then it will be perfect.

4 of us had Sunday lunch, I had the beef, 2 had pork and one had lamb. The service was polite and efficient even though we had turned up early. I had a starter of parsnip soup with crusty bread and it was delicious. The main course was excellent with delicious meats, plenty of veg , roasties Yorkshire pud and gravy. The deserts had by the other 3 looked lovely and they all enjoyed them. The atmosphere was very friendly and everything was clean and comfortable. I’ll be back there again soon.

First time visit. Very tasty lunch and great portions. Pleasant young staff. Priced very competitively. Parking on street

After a stroll at Herrington park we needed our Sunday lunch, so we decided to try the Grey Horse. It was a really good choice! There were various choices and we all were very impressed by the mains. Succulent meat with gravy, Yorkshire puddings and a boat load of fresh veg!! I couldnt fault it. We even decided at puddings which were also tasty. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. I would definitely recommend here. The Sunday lunch I have had in ages. The staff were very friendly and efficient.

Can not believe we have not been in before only live 5 minutes away, Stopped in for tea while looking for the church next door.The two girls behind the bar were nice and friendly and the pub as a good atmosphere, Me and the wife and grandson all had different meals and were very nice and the grandson demolished his sticky toffee pudding, Well worth a visit and will be back.

Not long lived in the area, noticed it and booked up for Sunday dinner. Can honestly say some of the best food we've had. I had the beef, fell to bits, beautiful. The wife and boy both had pork, again beautiful, creamy mash and nice light yorkshire! No microwave puddings here, homemade and bloody lovely, absolutely stuffed but had to try one haha We'll defo be visiting again, every member of staff so friendly and welcoming, lovely little boozer 👌

We absolutely love this gorgeous little place, it really is one of those traditional, ‘hub of the community’ type pubs with friendly regulars and a cosy atmosphere at all times of day. The staff are some of the loveliest people you could meet and always go out of their way to make sure you’re looked after – nothing is too much trouble. And the food is consistently fantastic!! Especially the Sunday roasts, which are just outstanding. Herrington Park and Penshaw Monument are just around the corner, and the pub has a designated dog-friendly area at the front. There really is a proper ‘village pub’ feel to the place that is lacking all too often these days. Not to mention the impressively well-stocked bar! What more could you want :) Thank you so much and see you very soon xx

Just had one of the best mixed grills ever. Cooked to perfection by the very talented new chef at this great village local. The grill consisted of Pork Steak, Gammon Steak, Rump Steak, Lamb Chop, 2 Cumberland Sausages, Onion Rings, Fried Egg, Grilled Tomato, Sautéed Mushrooms and Home-made Chips. All items were very good quality and presented well. I would highly recommend the mixed grill and on the looks of it the new chef certainly knows how to cook....

Called in for lunch after reading reviews.. very impressed. I had mince & dumplings and my sister had fish & chips. Food was delicious & hot with generous portions. 1st visit here but it certainly won't be our last.

1st impressions were not good & we should have trusted them! The food was terrible, & the service was appalling - definitely would not recommend. It was so bad it wasn’t worth complaining about

Along time since I have been to The Grey Horse,reading some of the reviews I didn't know what to expect.But both my son and myself really enjoyed the meal,service was really good staff was pleasant and very helpfull and the meal was lovely.I would definitely go back

Having heard decent reports of the food we decided to give this place a try. Received a lovely welcome but it went down hill from there. We must have picked the day when the chef was off. Despite being on the menu, the ‘chef’ didn’t actually know how to make a club sandwich! It was terrible as was the beef and ale pie which was over cooked and very heavy on the gravy salt. Smelly and dated, unfortunately this will be the last visit and sorry but I would not recommend it at all.

We went here on a recommendation. Inside it is a little dark and unwelcoming. We ordered a meal and after being served we complained about the fish and chips we had ordered. We won't be going back.

Saw signs on roadside next to Penshaw Monument so decided to call in for midweek lunch. Waited well over an hour for service, side salads and veg was all dried up. Try somewhere else.

Lovely little 'proper pub' went for family tea, friendly staff and tasty food, we had mince and dumplings, steak and ale pie and gammon steak, all enjoyed very much and will return again soon.

Went for Sunday lunch. Fresh crisp Yorkshire pudding, vegetables cooked to perfection. Husband had the beef said it was very tasty, gravy was lovely. I am a vegartarian and had only vegetables ,yet I was very shocked to find I had been charged for a full Sunday lunch. I don't this is right at all. The cheesecake was scrummy,as was the rice pudding. Staff were so lovely.

This place is a very quaint village pub.The owner is pleasant and the beer is very good.All in all a nice atmosphere

Just enjoyed a very tasty classic Sunday lunch with a good range of veg and excellent service. Our waitress was attentive and checked if we preferred vegetarian options. Relaxed and friendly. Good value home-cooked fare.

We drove from the coast toward Penshaw monument and saw a sign to this pub restaurant which took us into a village estate with the building tucked away at the back, over-looking a valley behind it and leading up to the historic Penshaw Monument. We ordered lamb and chicken Sunday lunches and have genuinely not tasted a better one than this. The meat was lean and perfectly prepared and the vegetable assortment arrived with a bowl of chopped leeks, green beans, carrots, cabbage and two types of potato. The gravy arrived separately and was really fantastic - so good we asked if the kitchen staff could share their recipe. This is a quaint 'salt of the earth' eatery with really wonderful waiting and bar staff who converse and made us feel very welcome. We liked that the location was tucked away but with easy enough walking distance up around the corner to the monument attraction. We will return here and wholeheartedly suggest taking a visit - if you feel up to it you can walk your dining experience off by tackling the nearby hill which leads up to a much visited historic destination.

Try this pub for a good meal and warm welcome good beer and nice selection of wines and spirits served by friendly staff.try the curry night and Sunday lunch you won’t be disappointed

Arrived at the Grey Horse, unaware of opening times, (it was 11.30) but as the door was open I went in with my colleague, a lady held the door open. We saw a man at the bar, we were looking around when we heard "who are you" - to which I replied I beg your pardon? He said again "Who are you?" and my colleague said "erm customers" and was simply told "we're not open til 12" - Charming what a welcome, needless to say we didn't hand around until opening time and I most definitely won't ever be back!

Visited today,with husband, cannot remember the last time we were here,( more years than I would admit too).

Fabulous little local which we have always enjoyed visiting for the ambience and hospitality

What a fabulous experience at the grey horse inn. Superb Sunday meal and three courses consumed. Lovely home cooked food and great service from the whole team. Various portion sizes are available. Home made rice pudding was my particular favourite.

Not home cooked as advertised. Disgusting low quality meat. Left most of it. The grey horse used to be beautiful. And it used to be all home cooked food. Our meals this time were worse than what if give a dog. WILL NOT be returning for food. Photo is of what was left as it was so disgusting.

Visited on Sunday. We got a friendly greeting and shown to our table right away and drinks orders taken. Drinks came and food order made and arrived at our table quite quickly. Great service.

We called in here as we were passing for Sunday lunch. The girl seemed to struggle to find us a table but I'm glad she did, the food was excellent, superb veg including creamy mash. The service was also good as was the Guinness and great value, I don't live around here but I will certainly consider it again when we fancy a drive out or, after reading the reviews, I may try a midweek, early evening meal!!

The wife and I lunched here last Wednesday - she ordered vegetable soup to start, I chose corriander and carrot with bread roll and butter - fabulous. For the main, wife had scampi while I had pork sausages, fries and garden peas. The sausage were enhanced with herbs and tasted really good - so much so that I asked where they were sourced: a farm shop not more than 1000 metres away! The food was so tasty that we will most certainly return.

living local, we often visit here the menu has enough choice I would say for everybody I had lamb shank with mash service was was excellent as the lady seemed to b working the bar. I feally enjoyed the meal and competive price

We are regular customers or Sunday lunch and it never disappoints. Food is plentiful, piping hot and super tasty. Service is really good and I would not hesitate to recommend for any meal. Keep up the great standards!!

Ordered a sunday dinner to takeout today and it was delish! chicken was moist and piping hot, roasties were crispy and it came with the best gravy I’ve ever tasted! Will definitely be making a return

Not the first time Ive have had a takeaway Sunday dinner from the Grey Horse and certainly won’t be the last. Succulent meat, plentiful veg and the best gravy I’ve ever had

Went for a family Sunday lunch food was fantastic. Great service and great value for money. I would definitely recommend it

My friend and I called at lunchtime midweek for a meal and chat and were not sure how good the food was but we were not disappointed. We appreciate good food and this was GOOD! My steak and ale pie was very substantial, large, tender pieces of solid beef, no fat anywhere. There was a jug of extra gravy too. Generous portion of fresh vegetables and my choice was jacket potato. My friend had chicken and she said it was very moist. Jimmy was very attentive and chatty and Jacqui, his wife, also served us.

Came for dinner, place was packed very pleased that we booked. Food was lovely especially the gravy, even had desserts. Will be back

My husband and I go out to lunch every Sunday and today we are very glad we chose to visit The Grey Horse Inn as we had not been here for a while.

My husband and I had lunch at this gem on SUNDAY 30 of SEPTEMBER. THE staff were warm and welcoming and the food delicious. We were so impressed that we have booked for CHRISTMAS DAY lunch

Our party arrived 5m before our appointed time. The gentleman behind the bar looked slightly puzzled when we said we were booked in for Sunday lunch but asked us to be seated. One hour later we finally were given our table . When we ordered we were told there was no lamb left and only 1 chicken. One of our party then chose the vegetarian but was then told that was sold out too. Eventually we managed to order and get our food which was average. Pudding menu came and again only 2 brownies were available so limited choice. We advise that if you go for Sunday lunch go early for a good choice and then hopefully you wont be left waiting for an hour.

This pub is a little out of the way but really traditional and cosy - quite rare. The menu is extensive, but the food’s little to write home about. My parents and I all quite liked our meals (a curry, mince and dumplings, and chicken butterfly with chips) but they could have been a lot tastier. We’d definitely return for drinks, but probably not food.

Just popped in to this lovely little pub (it’s my local not been in the area very long!)

I have never eaten in this pub as getting a drink seems hard enough, on two separate occasions once on a Tuesday and recently a Thursday I stood at the bar for a considerable length of time, the bar was deserted and no one in sight although there were customers drinking, so I took my custom elsewhere, as there are other pubs in pen shaw that are welcoming

Having never been in a very long time, we decided to pop in for subday lunch and was not dissapointed. Staff great and food was lovely. Would recommend and will be going back 😊

We have all just been for Sunday lunch. We had a starter sunday roast and desert Food was fabulous all cooked to perfection Would highly recommend. Also do various meals during week plus they cater for coeliac disease.(gluten free) will definately going back

A very homely pub with great food and great people and great crack and serves great food a good all round pub!

Visited 3 times this week as weather was bad different choice every night ..but same really good pub grub ..we'll probably be back 2day for more .definitely worth a visit

We took the family here for lunch and were really made welcome on arrival. The service was excellent and the quality of the food also excellent. The Yorkshire Pudding wraps are amazing and the homemade chips are to die for. We will definitely be returning the next time we visit the northeast.

Came here after visiting my partners grandad and we were very, very surprised.

Visited a few times now. Lovely helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful food with a huge selection at reasonable prices

Fabulous family meal! 4 adults and a teenager. Friendly, happy staff and great service.

We called in here unplanned as it looked popular and inviting. The welcome we received did not disappoint and the service and food was really impressive - there's even a loyalty scheme. We will definitely return .

So pleased The Greyhorse original traditional dinners are back ,best ever ,all I say you have to give this place a visit you won’t be disappointed Fresh veg,creamy mash ,beef that melts in your mouth and lashings of Greyhorse gravy Fabulous food and great atmosphere

First of all the pub and restaurant are separate business’s but bounce off each other. It seems to work!

Went to the Grey Horse for Sunday dinner, Lou Lous now do it. Lovely food, lovely staff, decent prices! Desert lovely! Happy to go back and try other themed nights!

A nice country type local pub in the village of old penshaw next to herrington park an Ideal place for a day out and meal with refreshment

Somos local al pub de caballos grises, bebidas y fútbol pero no solemos comer en el Italiano, pero estar de vacaciones esta semana y con el mal tiempo que elegimos ir para un almuerzo rápido en la cocina italiana para animar a nosotros. . . Y vaya si lo. cheer us!

Popped in for Sunday lunch and sat in bar as we had the dog, the big bowl at the front door hadn't been changed or washed for weeks The happy barmaid nearly cracked a smile or farted Asked for menu for Sunday lunch so the happy waiter brought us the full menu no mention of Sunday lunch so asked the barmaid who said it's beef or chicken so ordered 2 beef which was nice but over priced at £7.95 as we found out after when we paid Not a nice experience couldn't wait to get out would highly recommend you avoid this place on a Sunday

Stopped off on a wet and thoroughly miserable night. We hadnt eaten at this restaurant before. We were greeted with a smile by a lady working behind the bar, who pointed to the restaurant. A waiter, who was probably the owner of the restaurant showed us to our table, brought us the menu, and asked if he could get us a drink. There was 2 or 3 tables occupied, but the restaurant, although small, started to fill up. As mentioned, the restaurant is quite small, and sparcely decorated, but had a nice ambience and atmosphere when it got busy. The food was nicely presented and tasty, and with 2 courses each and a bottle of wine, came to approximately £42.00. which we thought was reasonable value. The menu is primarily Italian influence.

Three of us went on a Saturday evening. It was my first visit, although I knew, and had visited the pub fairly often many years ago. What a friendly place ! A real village pub atmosphere, with the surprise of the Italian Kitchen at the back. The food was delicious, and not expensive, the service was very good and fun. Very family friendly. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone .

Visited here for lunch with my friend. We were both a little disappointed with the happy hour menu. The starters were no cheaper than on the main menu and the main courses were only pizza or pasta. We ordered starters off the main menu, which we both really enjoyed. However neither of us enjoyed our pasta mains. The carbonara being greasy and bland. The lasagne being very thick mushy pasta with very little bolognese and instead a ladle of tomato pasta sauce over the top. Our first visit didn't bowl us over, so we'd be very unlikely to return, when there is very good competition in the area.

Spotted the sign from the road for the Italian kitchen decided to pull off and give it a try.Pleased we did,very friendly welcome from Bethany and Basha who looked after us very well,and the food was really good,nicely cooked .loved the pizza garlic bread not greasy at all,I don't usually eat more than one slice but couldn't stop picking another slice up it was so nice.had the risotto,delicious one of the nicest I've had.my husband had the lasagne which was very good.so will certainly go back again

We've been wanting to try the food at the grey horse now it does Italian and wasn't disappointed, both the atmosphere and staff were fab, really friendly and welcoming.The food didn't disappoint either, the mussels were delicious highly recommended. I would go back again.I would be inclined to book a table just in case as it's a small intimate space with very few tables

Been several times now and never disappointed so decided to go today for Father's Day. The 4 of us had the roast beef dinner with all the trimmings and again it was delicious. There was also the usual full Italian menu available. We had a selection of mini desserts to share between us and it was to die for! Lovely atmosphere and staff can't do enough for you - even when they're rushed off their feet. Brilliant price too. Already looking forward to our next visit

Very nice food. Chips were amazing wish I had bought a portion for myself instead of sharing with my partner. I would go again. Price was just under £40 for starters garlic mushrooms, garlic king prawns and mains chix Pizza and risotto and x3 drinks. The restaurant is called the italian kitchen@grey horse. Waiter Italian and very pleasant. Strangest thing was the TV in the lounge/bar with all the rules and a little poster about how jacqui and Jimmy know best regarding airing sports tv/sky?. Overall I would return.

At a bit of a loose end today decided to walk to the Grey Horse and its recent (ish) addition of the Italian Garden restaurant for lunch. Having previously sampled the beer I was confident that they served a very acceptable pint of beer so I was intrigued to try the food and lunch seemed a good place to start. A coupe of very impressive starters set a scene that was repeated with the main courses which were not only very nice and tasty but of a substantial size. Recommended. definitely.

Been for Dinner tonight, while the food is ok the price is not, I have had great food in the area( mamas and Amalfi) Newbottle would not recommend this to anyone

Popped out and decided to try this on a rare date night away from our 6 month old. We're not disappointed the food was fantastic and the service quick and friendly. Defo be back again!

Went for a meal with friends. Very friendly and attentive staff, delicious food and nice atmosphere. We will be back!

The food is very good the staff are very friendly i will be going again an would advise others to do the same

Visited here for lunch with a couple of acquaintance, My main course of risotto marinara turned out to be very good. My friends both had linguine marinara which they also said was very good. We had a plate of gralic bread with tomato sauce which turned out sadly lacking in garlic flavour and pre-dominant in tomato. The speed of the service seemed rather slow to me but don't let this distract form the quality of the food.

Tried out the Italian kitchen at the rear of the pub. Nice quality food and friendly service. Happy Hour menu had plenty of choice.

Came here to try with friends on Saturday night. It's small so booking is required if you thinking about coming. Staff were really friendly and nothing seemed to trouble them. Food was lovely as well will be recommending to friends and family. Pub seemed lively and we had a drink before going to our table. A lovely night had by all.

Very nice Italian food with excellent customer service, they even made a special small portion for my 3 year old daughter,tiramisu to die for:)will definitely come back for more:)

Called in on spec for Sunday Lunch - granted it was near finishing time for serving food - but I have never been so insulted by such disgusting food. Miserable, unfriendly staff too!!Give it a miss!!!!

Popped in here with mam for lunch, happy hour on, just a nice amount of food and I must say very enjoyable, I would go back, lovely pub too. Landlord friendly as well.

Absolutely love this place. We have a few drinks in the grey horse - it has a great atmosphere and friendly - before eating. The restaurant is ran by 2 brothers who are brilliant at what they do. The food is delicious, service excellent and a great atmosphere. Sometimes you can hear music (not loud) coming from the pub but this doesn't bother us in the slightest. The restaurant is small so it's best to book. This is our 4th visit now and won't be our last.

Had a table booked for 8.30 but was so busy we didn't get seated in til 8.50, was on a tight schedule but the service was good, they accommodated the fact we had limited time, starter, main course and sweet for two for under £30.Would definitely go back again

Having decided to visit the grey horse after reading the reviews I have to say my wife and I were not at all dissapointed. The bar area itself is very warm and welcoming with a nice atmosphere, so we had a couple of drinks before we were shown through to the Italian restaurant area. The dining room isnt all that big so I would advise to book in advance. We were given a menu, in fairness not the largest menu but something to suit all tastes, as well as the specials board. We both opted for potato skins with a dip, mains were Tagliatelle bolognese and I opted for Penne Pasta Arrabiatta. Both the starters were very nice and the pasta dishes were the best I have had the pleasure of eating, very creamy and the taste was delightful. My wife chose warm chocolate browny while I went for an irish coffee, add to this a drink each as well as a bottle of house white, the whole bill came to £43, to say we were pleasently surprised would be an under statement. We will be paying another visit without any shadow of a doubt. Ideal for families, couples or for a group of friends.

My wife and I were passing the door and decided to call in to sample the lunch menu. We arrived as the restaurant opened and were greeted with a warm welcome and shown to our seats. We were the only ones in but within a few minutes the majority of the tables were taken....... always a Good sign.The restaurant is tastefully decorated and takes up the back room of the pub.We both ordered Pizzas and when they arrived they were absolutely delicious. We will certainly be returning. This a little gem of an Italian Restaurant in penshaw

Went on a Saturday evening with my husband and daughter. Fantastic welcome and service in the restaurant. Made to feel very welcome. Food was great and afterwards had drinks in the bar with a real fire.

We visited for the first time due to the TripAdvisor rating for Houghton-le-Spring. The restaurant is at the back of the pub in a cozy little room that is beautifully decorated. The menu has lots of choice and when the food came out it was piping hot and absolutely delicious. We all had clean plates and all said we would definitely return. The seafood risotto and the ravioli special was especially impressive. The value for money is superb, on both the food and the drinks. Staff were really attentive. It was a Tuesday afternoon at 2pm so we were the only ones in. I really hope this restaurant does well as I can't fault anything about our visit.

We have often ate in this pub and the food was always good but a little surprised when it was relaunched into the Italian Kitchen. Our first meal here was in the newly refurbished restaurant within the pub. It had been nicely decorated and had a good cosy feel to it. A reasonably priced menu and good food was had all round. Wine list could be improved on but other than that I would thoroughly recommend this place.

Excellent atmosphere in the bar,dogs aloud with food in bar area only restaurant looks lovely n cosy great range of beers I recommend the Stella

We had heard excellent reviews about the new Italian Restaurant and were not disappointed!!! There were 9 of us booked for Friday night and it was fabulous. The atmosphere and service were first class. The food was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. Cannot wait to return, well done to all concerned.

Heard great reviews on this place so decided to give it a try for a works retirement lunch. 13 arrived for lunch and it was good to see that they had revamped the restaurant area and created a lovely homely feel. Most of us ordered from the specials menu and there was plenty of choice. Orders arrived quickly and the food was piping hot. Only had 1 person serving but he managed to serve us all at the same time. Main courses were all very nice. The pizzas looked authentic Italian and the seafood pasta was to described as excellent. I asked for extra chilli on me pasta but I couldn't taste any at all and it did leave it a little bland for my liking. Overall it was a very good lunch and the bottles of house wine were reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning.

Party of 10 on Saturday night. First visit to the new Italian restaurant for all of us. Some of us had been years ago and remembered The Grey Horse as a nice local for a few beers and had no great expectations for the night.So ... we were all delighted with the food and service we received.10 starters and 10 main course with no complaints can't be bad.I had the steak which was a lovely piece of meat.Very quaffable house wines for under a tenner was terrific value.We will definitely be back.

It was nice to see that Jimmy and Jacqui are still running the bar and helping out at the Italian Kitchen who now run the restaurant. Sunday lunch is still served from 12 to 5 with the Italian dishes if you prefer. I went for the beef and the boss went for the chicken. They came piping hot with yorkshires, mash, roasted potatoes, parsnip and veg. The gravy was delicious. I was concerned as the food previous was superb but I can say that standards have not slipped and I will have this back on my favourite for Sunday lunch.

The restaurant area of the bar has been much improved, it feels as if you are in a different place to the pub. The food was excellent, well prepared and presented along with fantastic Italian service.The food was very good quality at a very reasonable price.

We visited with friends and we weren't disappointed. We arrived early so we could have a few drinks in the bar which had a lovely friendly atmosphere. The restaurant was small and cosy. We had mixed meats, bread and olives to share which was delicious before our starters! We then had the goats cheese and prawns for starters and everyone commented on how good it was. For mains we had steaks (the lads were very impressed) breaded chicken and pasta with chicken all again delicious. For dessert we had a variety of Italian desserts to share and again - delicious. The brothers who own it are very professional, experienced and passionate about what they do. It's only been open a few weeks and I can guarantee once word gets round how good it is you will end up having to book well in advance. We can't wait to go back and already planning more visits with family and friends

Visited on spec for tea on Friday evening. We were the second ones in but we weren't alone for long. We were soon joined by other diners with the same idea. We had potato skins and a garlic bread with tomato sauce to start followed by tagliatelle bolognaise and a chicken and mushroom pizza between us.The food was superb as was the service. This is only week 3 of the Italian Kitchen @ The Grey Horse and if the quality of food and service is anything to go by it will be a winner. The meal was washed down by a bottle of house white at just under a tenner.I read others saying it is worth a visit...well it really is. At these prices why bother ordering a take away?It also has the advantage of being in a pub, so if you like you can enjoy a drink either before or after your meal.

We called into the Grey Horse for one of their fabulous pub-grub lunchtime meals but were thunderstruck to discover one of our favourite places had completely changed their direction and become an Italian restaurant instead...!We decided to give it a try anyway and discovered that, although we'd lost an old friend, we'd found a new place we think we're going to love just as much.The dining area has been spruced up to give a bistro feel but retains the warmth and cosiness we'd always enjoyed.The food was excellent quality, very good value for money and delicious. The service was also superb.I think we'll be coming back to try the place on an evening very soon indeed.A fond farewell to the old place but an enthusiastic welcome to the new one.

Decided to give the new Italian a try and weren't disappointed, went with the girls fro my birthday and cannot fault food or service. Garlic breads were lovely and all main meals were impressive. We will be returning and would recommend a visit

We ate here for Sunday Lunch - The food (and food portions) are truly outstanding. We started with a mixed garlic pizza - fantastic start with loads of flavour. 3 of the group opted for the Sunday lunch (beef) and I had the king prawns in a tomato and garlic sauce - all meals were absolute perfection. We finished with a fantastic desert (of which I cant remember the name (photo attached). The service both in the restaurant and the bar were exceptional. I would highly recommend the Italian Kitchen @ The Grey Horse....We will definitely be back

Wow.....Jimmy and Jac always turned out great food but this place has just gone up another notch! Great food and very reasonable....fresh seafood at the risotto was to die for which is not the easiest of dishes to get right...and all cooked by a real Italian chef who is obviously passionate about what leaves the kitchen. Get in soon because its a little gem and will start to get busy quickly.....Well done Grey Horse finally something different in the area.

Visited midweek to try out the new Italian Kitchen conversion & wasn't disappointed.Shared a tomato garlic bread for starter, then both had shellfish mains (pasta & risotto). All delicious. Some other patrons had steaks which looked wonderful so will return to try those too.
