The Greyhound in Selby

What a treat to call into a pub for lunch without tumble weed. A well stocked and well supported pub. The menu can be picked up and ordered from the bar. Hearty fayre. We enjoyed a Sri Lanka curry as well as a beef and Stilton pie. Both were delicious. The pub also seems well supported by locals who met in there for a catch up. Dogs seem welcome. Car park round the back. Welcoming atmosphere,would definitely go again

wow, what a great pub ! All staff & locals so friendly. We called in for Dinner on a Friday night whilst staying in a near by village with no pub. Rang ahead & asked to book a table & if we could bring our dog, nothing from this moment on was too much trouble for the owners. Good pub grub, not fine dining, but tasty, piping hot, top service, fast service, great beer, what more can you want ? So nice to see a village pub being supported Well done, next time we come up , we will be back. Thanks

Had the best Sunday lunch ever. The place was heaving and had a great vibe! Well done to Sam and Jay who have turned this village pub around.

Wandered in looking for an evening meal on 22/09/2023 as we were in self-catering accommodation. It was incredibly busy which I find unusual nowadays for a community pub. However the bar staff were friendly and helpful so we came back at teatime for food to find they had reserved us a table just in case we came back. How wonderful is this? So we 4 had a pub meal which was fine and a couple of drinks. The food servers were good as was the service. We only ate here once but came back every night for a drink until our short holiday was over. We all felt like we were recognised after our first visit and that made our experience even better. Lovely pub with lovely staff.

What a lovely atmosphere in this pub. Great to see a village pub thriving. A real nice mix of people and good beers on the bar. And takeaway food ready bang in time.

Had the most amazing fish and chips. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. Would certainly recommend this lovely pub.

Facebook describes it as a "community pub" it is not, it is part of the Star Group/ Heineken conglomerate so expect high drinks prices. The food is mainly factory produced but thankfully is not described as "home cooked".The staff are good but the management have a tendency to serve the first face in front of them if they appear behind the bar. Overall the change of tenancy is a disappointment.

Incredible effort the new owners have put in to turn this pub around into a really family, friendly traditional pub Great food, a wide selection of beers, wines and cocktails, and amazing welcoming service to match.

I came in for a couple after work i noticed the beer tasted a bit soapy like something to do the line or the glasses The staff were great

Headed from York to The Greyhound in Riccall (it's a lot closer than I thought!) with mates for Wednesday night Rock n Roll Bingo. Had an absolute blast! The pub has recently been taken on by a new Landlord and Landlady (Sam & Jay) who couldn't have been more welcoming. The beer is perfectly conditioned, food was tasty & fresh and the service was proper friendly. Music Bingo was a right good laugh (Jay has an amazing microphine voice!) and we even won a drink and some chocolates. The new make over is fresh and tasteful and they've done a great job with the spacious, relaxing beer garden. We finished our night with a few games of pool (only 50p!!) and left having mate new friends. The 415 stops nearby - well worth checking out!

Stayed at this pub every year for around 6/7 years for the Snooker in York and races,the best Sunday lunch in Yorkshire and ale is kept to a high standard.Steve and Sue were very nice hosts and sorry they are leaving

Can't fault it, nice wines at reasonable price, good selection of beers, fish and chips to die for... .. better than when at seaside in our opinion. Will go back again and again, ( unless barred for being too enthusiastic of course). Thanks. Rob and Mary.

We stopped here when cycling the Solar system cycle route from York. Lovely coffee and lovely friendly and helpful staff.

Just finished excellent fish, chips, mushy peas. Always a treat and plenty of guest beers. Pub fish is normally very average but this place excels. Haven't had better even at the coast. Thanks Steve/ Sue.

We stopped here for lunch and found the food to be plentiful. It was reasonable pub grub but the lady behind the bar elevated the experience as she was friendly and welcoming. There needs to be a category in between the Average and Very good - this pub is definitely better than average but not as good as very good.

Called in the Greyhound for midweek tea with my son and my wife . The food was excellent , I had a burger with salad and bacon . This was huge and cooked very well . Excellent value

We popped in here while house hunting.It was busy but they quickly found us a table. And we had probably the best Sunday Roast we have had in a long time -the beef was so tender and flavourful-real melt in the mouth.. (and Yorkshire puds were apparently just like my DH mothers'- praise indeed!!). Staff were friendly to all. Hope to be back soon- it seemed like the pub was the centre of a thriving village, with lots of families couples and singles dining, which was really nice to see. Next time my husband wants to sample the guest beers..

Riccall is blessed with having two decent pubs and there’s not much to choose between them. This one has well kept Tetleys and friendly staff. There was live music on at the other one when we were there and for some reason this meant they stopped food at 8.30 despite there only being about 10 people in. The Greyhound wasn’t doing food at all Saturday evening so we went to the very good Italian.

When to the bar 3 times for a drink and 3 times I was stud there for 15 mins got so pee off 3 times I walk away bar staff are so rude I will never go there again they just go to the people you go in there all the time out of town don't go stay at home

We accidentally stumbled across this little gem of a pub because my wife need a toilet stop after a long car journey We intended to buy a coke use ther toilet and leave But our eye caught the menu board and we decided to have a meal My wife had the scampi and chips I had the battered cod and chips It arrived in the biggest plates I’ve ever seen My wife kinda only eats small amounts but she did her best but was eventually beatI however demolished every bite most delicious and the staff were very friendly too Absolutely loved our visit there

We ended up here after driving around looking for somewhere to eat and so glad we did. Good menu, great food and very pleasant staff. A little oasis.

Went for 2 meals while staying in Riccall both very good value. Tasty steak and chips with plenty of extras. Sunday roast was a cavery with great vegetables. We were even allowed to take a plate home for my daughter who was not well.

Great range of beers including guest beers, great atmosphere, staff very accommodating, I really enjoyed the warm welcoming feel about the place.

Qué fantástico pub en el corazón del pueblo! ! Cálido y acogedor, Sue y Steve y todo el personal son unos anfitriones estupendos! Cortado de una de las hamburguesas increíble steve, nunca defrauda. Pescado y patatas fritas son increíbles, sin duda imprescindible en un té el viernes. Gran selección de cervezas y siempre un ambiente agradable. Sin duda merece la pena una visita!

No estoy seguro de si la última 2 comentarios estaban hablando el mismo Pub greyhound que vamos a como no reconocer o no estar de acuerdo con ninguno de los comentarios negativos en los puestos mencionados. En primer lugar, es un pub del pueblo y como tal, los niños bien educados y sus familias están siempre nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos, incluyendo un viernes por la noche. En segundo lugar, ¿por qué no debería el propietario tienen (probablemente) merecido día jugando al golf y especialmente como él más probable es que tenga que soportar 'desafiante 'clientes más semanas. . Personas son demasiado críticos sin entender el día a día el estrés de la gestión de un bar. Ser honestos con lo que está sucediendo en el mundo de hoy, especialmente la horrible las atrocidades de la semana pasada - es realmente tan importante? Seguiremos apoyando Steve y Sue y todo el personal encantador, ya que ofrecen buena comida, vino y cerveza y, para reír mucho con toda la gente decente, la que todos trabajando duro ir allí para descansar y relajarse.

Este lugar es muy bonito por fuera y por dentro estaba muy lleno. La camarera que nos servía era algo tensos y fue gritando a la cocina en un minuto, estoy ocupado" como que estaban tratando de conseguir alimentos a los clientes. Decidimos que este no era un lugar para comer. Muchos perros acogidos aquí y unos niños que obviamente a la familia. Me copa aquí pero comer aquí tardará un poco más de persuasión.

Llamado por recomendación de relativa. Buena cerveza huésped (obviamente bien conservado), buena comida (obviamente bien preparado), pero completamente arruinado por bebé llorando y varios niños corriendo de amok. Los padres, pero culpar nos estropeó la noche. El personal no parecía importarle el ruido o la intrusión en lo que podría haber sido mucho mejor de noche.

Pub has a good range of specialist beers, and is constantly seeking more. Fish and chips and Sunday Lunch are superb, home cooked and well served. Very friendly staff and licensees.

Aparecimos en 3:00 pm de lunes a conseguir una comida después de un largo paseo en bicicleta para encontrar el lugar cerradas!

Hemos estado en el Greyhound unas cuantas veces a lo largo de los últimos meses, principalmente por una comida y algunas bebidas. Una buena selección de cervezas y leyes locales que siempre es estupendo ver en un pub de pueblo. Parece que hay algunos lugareños...

Cosy friendly pub. The buffet was good and plenty of choice .Tea and Coffee was available on arrival. Reasonable priced drinks. Staff were welcoming.

Had a lovely evening good beer nice atmosphere friendly staff with an open fire warm and welcoming looking festive at this time of year great selection of Real Ales

Visiting relatives in the area. A warm welcome and excellent food, choice of drinks, excellent. Will return next time we are in the area

We had a nice meal. Was better then we first anticipated. On the evening we were there it was a bit quiet but we liked this. Good, friendly and speedy service. Prices are also reasonable.

You would arrive here by default really as there are few places to eat in RIccall. Certainly popular with the locals. Difficult to find a good choice of food on the menu and rather expensive too.

This pub was recommended by the B&B owner. Nice friendly welcome and friendly locals. Lovely modern pub with good beer.

Detoured off the cycle track between York and Selby with friends into Riccall the pub was nice and clean friendly staff large grassed beer garden. Only wanted a light bite they had just set up the carvery but very obliging. Drank a Helmsley bitter well kept whilst wife had a pint of Guinness. Ordered two Pork and two beef sandwiches which came with some reason pasties .a jug of gravy apple sauce and horseradish. With soft drinks for kids it was £21 very good value.

We went for a family meal and if I'm totally honest I'm not a huge carvery fan. But this one was lovely and I put it down to been on a smaller scale so there's more effort. The only thing I was disappointed with was that the Yorkshires weren't home made. But I will definitely be returning

We didn't eat at this pub but just wanted to comment on how welcoming and friendly everyone where. Would definitely go back.

Extremely welcoming little pub right in the middle of Riccall. Constantly changing range of guest beers, menu short but quality and always a woman welcome. Always have a log fire burning in the winter months too.

This was ok but...you cannot see the price of the carvery until you are easy at your table. I looked at ratings before going and it looked nice. Also there is no dessert menu and no indication of prices of desserts until the bill comes or unless you ask. The man serving food seemed preoccupied with other work in the kitchen and was absent a lot. The website said all the trimmings..Well there was no stuffing, no crackling and not my first choice of veg..Just roast and this modern thing of unpeeled boiled potatoes, with broccoli, carrots and soggy cabbage. Peas and mash for me but that is choice so have not marked down for that. Did notice that the server seemed to talk locals whilst serving and if you are an outsider the banter is minimal. Just observations but it was OK. Just had better.

Can highly recomend the Greyhound , lovely pub great service and warm welcome and beers are always good! See you again soon!

I can highly recommend the Greyhound for Fish & Chips, it's Sunday lunches and it's excellent Tetley Mild.Always a friendly welcome, even had my Grandsons christening here and we had 10 kids in toe, but having said that we did amuse the children our selves by looking after them, engaging with them and not allowing them to climb on furniture run riot or disturb folk playing pool.They don't have a ball pool, no climbing frames or swings, but they do appreciate well behaved children and adults alike.

Not for the first time I and three others had a great carvery meal last Sunday at this traditional pub with a good variety of beers of consistent quality. A very welcoming atmosphere. Give them a try.

Today we visited the Greyhound for a family get together. It started out lovely and the young girl behind the bar was very chatty and welcoming. There was also an OLD woman behind the bar with her, who I could tell just didn't want to be there no smile, no hello no nothing. The food smelt delicious and it tasted just as good as it smelt. The gentleman serving the food was very pleasant and was joking around with the children. After we had finished our food the OLD woman came from behind the bar to help tidy away and she started to show a very obvious dislike to the children so we took them outside to play in the LARGE beer garden to find there was more DOG POO than grass. So we took them back inside to do some colouring and basically just doing what children do (laughing and joking around) they weren't causing any trouble what so ever. The OLD woman began to start making sly comments towards our children and was quite frankly DISGUSTING towards them. We then went to the bar to settle the bill when she obviously was unaware of us been there as she said to another member of staff behind the bar " those bloody kids I can't stand them". Well OLD woman I can't stand you AT ALL and there my kids and nephew/ niece and I don't appreciate you talking about them like that. And further more I suggest you change your occupation of you intend to carry on this obvious dislike towards children. 100% will not be attending again

We went to the greyhound today for a carvery. Can't fault the food it was lovely. However, very obvious from the start that we were not welcome with children. The landlady was initially covertly rude (staring at the children and muttering) and then overtly rude to us about the children being a nuisance. At this point we left. The children were not a nuisance at all an were just being kids. Also nowhere to change a baby which demonstrates further they don't welcome families.

We visited this pub today for a sunday carvey as my father is local and the food is highly thought of. I will start off by saying the food is fantastic and the gentleman who cooks is very nice. Unfortunatly the gentlemans wife/partner is quite the opposite. We went as a family which included four children. This been where the problem lies CHILDREN. Her whole attitude towards us and the kids was unproffesional and rude. The kids were not tearing around the place but did move out of there seats to colour or to play with the odd toy car on floor. Generally how kids are. This lady made it quite obvious she did not want them in there and stared at them constantly. I took the children outside as she made me feel so uncomfortable to go play on the grasssed lawn only to find it was covered in dog poo so back inside it was. She then took her rudeness to a whole new level and shouted at the children to move out of her way. Unfrotunatly it did not end there as a member of my family was stood at the bar to get another round of drinks the lady then said not realising that my family was there "them bloody kids they are doing my head in" (or something to this effect) to which my family member said i beg your pardon. She looked very embarrased but still no apology. We left shortly and we made our feelings known to the gentleman who runs it. I will never visit there again and if they dont want children in they should stop doing "family carverys". Further to this actually go clean up the back lawn so children can "get out of her way!!!" As she clearly wants.

Lovely country pub with beer garden. Friendly staff. Great selection of beer and real ale. Sunday carvery roast cooked by owner just like mum used to make. Very tasty and generous portion of meats.

We don't eat Fish & Chips often...but couldn't resist when we saw other diners! We were not disappointed! We dropped lucky as they are only served on Fridays.The other food looked good too.My Bloke tried the real ales and was impressed.A top traditional Pub with friendly staff & locals

Needed to find a place to eat near my Mum's Home, remembered from years ago that the Greyhound did food so checked online. Booked for three and was not disappointed.Great Beef and Lamb joints cooked to perfection with a super selection of roast and boiled veg sauces and gravy all for a brilliant home price. Great staff very friendly place, spotless and very memorable. Will definitely be going again.

This is our perfect Friday evening, a few drinks and amazing food with my family, the food is cooked to perfection and the chips are to die for, it is a limited menu but it changes, we usually end up sharing as we can't decide what to have.

I have visited The Greyhound on a number of occasions and I have to say, every visit has been enjoyable. There is always a warm welcome from the Landlord and Landlady and the locals are very warm and friendly. The beer is always spot on and there are a number to choose from. Although I am a lager drinker myself, the locals mostly drink the cask ales and seem to enjoy them. The landlord's interest in sporting events, especially rugby league, give good opportunity for banter around the bar and is normally a good light hearted atmosphere. It's a good old fashioned country pub that is dog friendly. Food is also well received and the fish and chips night on Fridays are not to be missed! As long as this pub stays the same, I will keep coming back.

I organised the selby cycle race which used this pub as its HQ for both the mens and ladies races on 200914 . The landlord Steve and the landlady Sue were both very helpful and did not charge a fee for using the place as the HQ. (many do) The feedback from all the riders who cared/bothered to comment were all very positive and that included the hospitality, food and the beer, I will be using this venue again.

OK so this isn't everyone's cup of tea. If you're wanting a gastropub don't even think of coming here. But if you want a choice of well-kept beers and stonkingly good fish and chips you won't be disappointed. Look beyond the homeliness and take this place for what it is - a local village pub which caters for its regulars. Our fish and chips this evening were superb - couldn't fault them. The fish was freshly cooked, the batter and chips crisp, and the mushy peas just as they should be - mushy. Make sure you choose a night when Steve, the landlord, is cooking (Friday). He knows what he's doing when it comes to frying.

Since the local chippy shut down in Riccall, the Greyhound has taken over and oh are they lovely. Top notch fish and chips really well cooked. Tremendous value for an in pub meal. A little pricey though for a takeaway.

OMG. Poor service, dirty place. We went had a drink and walked out. Please please please don't go. They need to improve so much not just the look but its dirty and service is so poor. I wasted 30 mins of my life and simply I regret ever walking in there. With effort and care this could be such a nice place but for now it has to be top of my avoid place.

3 of us called in here for a few beers before going to the spice mill Indian restaurant, we only had two pints each & we all came to the same conclusion.... Yuck ! The beer was expensive & insipid.... After the first round we all tried a different drink as we thought things could only get better.. And second round was just as odd & vile. On reflection we should have taken the drinks back to the bar and asked for our money back, but this is the first time we have been here and it will certainly be the last. Maybe it was just a bad night - who knows !!

I have visited this village pub for over 20 years and tonight was worst ever experience whereby I stood at the bar waiting to be served for well over 3 minutes whilst 2 bar staff ( out of 3 ) totally ignored me ( the female grump spent the 3 minutes moving glasses from one shelf to another and the male (older one and possibly the landlord) didn't know the time of the day ! I went back to my seat in disgust to wait on my partner to finish her drink. Surprised the place was quite busy as the Horse and Hound offered much more in all ways. A wee old came in after this happened and he also stood far too long to be served. Could also have been cleaner. Poor effort. Lucky to get a 1.

nothing really good to say, place is abit grubby and needs a deep clean. The food is ok but not fresh, the man behine the bar was ok but there was a women (think it was his wife) that was also working (well working the odd few mins an hour, and really didnt want to be there)Just everything thats wrong with a village pub, they are dead becasue of there lack of effort but i'm sure they will blame the recession.THe other pub in the village is much better
