Booked a table for six adults , when reading the menu everything was cooked in garlic as I have an allergy to garlic asked the waitress if I could have my Sunday roast without the garlic but was told that was how it came even the gravy was cooked in garlic , whilst deciding what to eat the manager came over & said the chef would do some roast potatoes without the garlic which I was really pleased about , after a long wait the dinner arrived cold so asked if I cold have it warmed ( nothing worse than cold roast dinner ) . After another long wait I finally got my roast dinner without my Yorkshire pudding , so all in all not a good experience so won’t be going back , also found it very expensive & would not recommend.

The service here was incredibly slow. As someone who has dietary requirements, I needed some additional information before choosing my meal. The waitress that served us asked me what I was thinking of having, that way she could tell me whether it was a suitable option. This was incredibly unhelpful and also added to the slow service as she continuously had to check my choice with the chef. Having allergens listed on the menu would be much more efficient in the future. Food was ok but we waited over 45 minutes for our mains -This seemed to be the case for every one else around the restaurant. My main was incredibly small with a large portion of bland rocket that covered the large space on the plate - no dressing or fresh salad.

Its a good place to meet up and very big inside and out. Having never been here before i thought the decor was run down and needs a refurb. My menu had food smeared on it, which was changed. The staff were helpful and cheerful. The bins in the cubicles were overflowing and i couldn't use it and there was not a bin near the sinks. Food was standard and i would go again but maybe once it's not so grubby!

Booked a table for Father's Day (set menu) but unfortunately was quite disappointed in our choice of venue. Drinks order was taken but my son's drink was forgotten so I told a waitress. Quite some time passed so I went up to the bar to see if it had been made (mocha) and was told it was being made then. Waited over 1/2 hour for our starters which were nothing special. Prawn cocktail was bland. I think prawns were in mayonnaise rather than marie rose sauce. Waited for plates to be cleared away. Then waited a further 1/2 hour for mains to arrive. By this time, our appetites had diminished. Roast dinners were average. Broccolli was rock hard, beef tough and roast potatoes dry. We asked for the bill before ordering our desserts as we were aware that this would probably take time being that we had waited so long for our food to arrive. We decided to have desserts takeaway but when bill was brought up, the waitress advised that our desserts would be extra and on a separate bill. The waitress couldnt grasp that we were having the set three course menu. The bill showed that we had paid for individual starters and mains rather than the set menu. We then declined desserts as it would have caused even more confusion with paying. We usually go to the Black Horse but thought we would have a change but unfortunately food quality/staff/atmosphere do not compare to the Black Horse. I appreciate that this was Father's Day and it was busy but I think more staff would have benefited. A real shame as was looking forward to our visit.

My wife and I called into the Greyhound on Saturday 4 May at around 5.30pm. We had had quite a stressful day because of family reasons. I wanted to give us a break before going home. The place looked nice and the staff were friendly. The food, however, was very, very poor. My wife had hunter's chicken which she said was very average. I had fish, chips and peas. It was tasteless. The fish comprised thick batter. So thick you could break a tooth. I didn't complain at the time, because we already had a tedious enough day and I didn't want to add to our woes. On this showing, most pub restaurants are far superior to this pub/restaurant. We will never go back...ever!

Not happy at all with our meals and the place needs a good clean. We sat near the window and the glass vases on the shelf were full of dust. I had the pork belly and said that I didn’t want the black pudding, I didn’t realise that it was a mash, I wasn’t offered an alternative. So I commented to the waitress that my meal looked sparse, luckily I had ordered a side order of Haloumi fries. There were only about 4 or 5 tables of people yet we waited nearly an hour for our meals.My guests sea bass looked awful thin and not appetising, my other guest asked for cream with his crumble and was told ‘we don’t’ have any cream. I love the location on the edge of the woods and was going to bring more friends there but unfortunately I will not be returning.

My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon at The Greyhound on Sunday 7th April. We booked for Sunday lunch and took our dog with us as we knew they are a dog friendly pub. From the moment we stepped into the venue we were instantly made to feel so welcome. We were so very well looked after during our visit by Gavin, he is such a lovely guy and nothing was too much trouble. Gavin was always on hand and not just with us, the area he was covering were all attended to with a professional, friendly & happy attitude. My wife and I both had roast beef Sunday lunches which were cooked to perfection. I'm partial to a pint of Guinness and can honestly say it was a lovely pint! Please try The Greyhound if you have never been, we have been several times in the past and have already booked to go again in May. Rory and the team are amazing and will always do their upmost to make your visit special - Thanks to you all, see you soon! Andy & Vicky.

We gave up on the Greyhound several years ago as unfortunately the standards had gone right down!!! We were absolutely gutted as it was one of our favourite places to go!!!! HOWEVER since finding out it’s now under new management we decided to go back and try it and we certainly wasn’t disappointed!!! The food was lovely, I thoroughly enjoyed the sticky chicken and lamb rump roast! And we had amazing service from the wonderful Stacy she was friendly, efficient and professional! I’m so glad to be able to say this as we will certainly be coming back soon. So please keep the standards as they are and don’t let things slip back to how bad they got!!!!

I am a big fan of the Sunday roast normally so was nice to try something off the normal menu. As always staff were attentive and we were welcomed by Stacey who always makes an effort - to the point she's on first name terms with my son. (Not sure if this means we go too much).

on arrival no sign of any front of house staff, stood for a while, lots of people walked past us, bar staff on phones not looking up. Eventually I stopped someone and asked. Table booked for 4pm, had to wait a short while for the other table to leave and it be cleaned (no real problem) but then seated, close to fire but wasn’t warm we kept coats on. Ordered food, asked for kids meals to come with starters but they didn’t, massive gap between starter and main, was close to 2 hours when we had main. Not long before food came we were told turkey had run out so had to be chicken, when it came it was chargrilled chicken breast, not roast, food overall was cold- but kids were fed up so we just wanted to eat and get out. Won’t be returning

Visited the greyhound tonight for a date night with my hubby. We have always enjoyed the greyhound in the past, but tonight was a big disappointment. Not only were quite a few things not available on the menu, but we were not informed of this when we sat down - and it was only when the waitress came to take our order that we were informed that starters we chose were not available and certain main courses didn't actually come with what was on the menu - like the salmon not coming with vine tomatoes but instead with about 3 carrots and 2 broccoli florets! The prawn cocktail (our 2nd choice) was disappointing with no flavour and hardly any sauce - and was overpriced for what was served!!We were also informed that my husband 's 2nd choice starter (the pate (his first choice) wasnt available) the mushrooms (the last of which!) had been dropped on the floor by the chef!! Salmon was OK but quite frankly, not as nice as I hoped. Ate it as it was still edible and I was hungry. We asked for the back doors to be closed after the last customers left or came inside and was told by our waitress that the doors had to remain open due to covid, yet when a table with young customers asked, one of the doors was closed and a few minutes later, the other was closed by the waiter on the front desk, booking people in!Miscommunication??After seeing how disappointed we were, it would have been nice to have been given one round of drinks that we ordered free as some kind of appeasement. It was a comedy of errors and we likened it to having a meal at Fawlty Towers!! Almost laughed when asked what button to press on the card machine if we wanted to leave a tip!! Needless to say, we won't be returning.

Lovely garden, the staff were very welcoming, and service was very quick. Even though the weather wasn’t great, food was still nice.

We’re so pleased to have the Greyhound reopen. We walked over via Thorndon Country Park arriving lunchtime. Well organised garden & Covid secure. As previous, the food was good, Burgers and Brownies went down well with our group. Service excellent, shout out to Stacey who looked after us well. Great location and view. Make sure you get there soon

I used to love this pub, lovely place nice enough food - you knew what you were getting. However, around 12-18 months ago a new front of house manager appeared - he’s called Mo. The first time we went there we had just become new parents and were taking our new baby out so we were pleased not to be cleaning up or cooking! We went in and immediately with him everything seemed a little more chaotic...and we didn’t like the way he spoke to his team. Our waitress was lovely and he just seemed to be telling her what to do even though she had already done things for us - she was great. We didn’t say anything, ate our food and thought it might be a one off. The second time we returned was after the first lockdown lifted. We decided we would support a pub we have gone to for a long time and went back to the Greyhound. We had the same waitress again who recognised us and made a nice fuss of our baby - she’s called Stacey and and is a great waitress. We noted that food had gone downhill a bit and once again this little man (Mo) was stomping around trying to fully control everything and making the whole dining experience unpleasant. Finally, we just returned for Sunday lunch after 2nd lockdown lifted. We were greeted again by Mo - who asked us on three separate occasions if we had check in (we had, and told him three times). We instantly knew we were in for the same experience. Thankfully our nice waitress was serving us again! (Thank you Stacey you always do a good job and this review isn’t aimed at you!) We were told that there were no Sunday roasts at all, and the menu only had 3 or 4 dishes due to reduced kitchen staff. Not ideal, but fine. Food arrived and was nice enough - however....Mo still managed to ruin lunch... our toddler was kicking off in his chair (as they do) so I got him out and took him off to walk around the grassy area at the back so he wouldn’t ruin the dining for others. As he was walking down the steps, he slowed and caused a c. 5 second delay (he’s got little legs). Mo rushes over and has a right whinge... the guy has zero customer service skills, zero talent, zero aptitude for running a pub. So to whoever reads this at Vintage Inns, a short statement.. Mo is the reason your pub is going downhill... either remind him of his duty to serve customers and make sure they are comfortable, or better still replace him. The hospitality industry has been hit hard by the pandemic, and we want to support you - but we will no longer bring you our custom whilst he is in charge. Get rid of him, and hire someone much more customer / business who has been unfortunate enough to be laid off through all of this. Better still, promote Stacey...

Well what can I say about this pub absolutely amazing. Beautiful garden with plenty of spacing in between seating. Guest greeted on entry to garden great knowledge of covid regulations. Staff are continuing to wear facemasks even though its outside which is great to see and made me feel extra safe. Although the staff have had so much time off they all came back and was professional and hardworking. They did not stop and all seemed to communicate and get on very well. Very friendly comfortable pub with amazing food( pizza was delicious) and staff. Will definitely be back.

Great quality food but food service was attrotious. Kitchen staff got my order wrong twice, my partners pizza came with the wrong toppings, ordered fries which did not come and when they did were stone cold and sauces were not given when requested. Will not be back.

Third time we've eaten here for convenience. Hoped the food might have improved. Limited options as had run out of things. Food is still below average. Won't return again

Great food, service, clean, friendly, good atmosphere, cosy and warm with a lovely log fire plus very festive. Definitely COVID compliant. Excellent value with a food voucher. My partner said it was the best meal she’d ate in a pub for years- beef bourginon. Complements to the chef and the waiter. Thank you. Visited for lunch on the 8/12/20.

Had a lovely dinner on Sunday evening. The food was absolutely delicious, very good presentation despite it being busy. Best you could ask for from a pub chain.

We turned up at what was evidently a very busy time on Friday lunchtime with customers arriving continuously.It was evident that the Duty Manager, Mo, was pretty much running the place single handedly with little help - seating people, clearing tables, taking orders etc.I’m writing this review purely to recognise the guy and his professionalism because he simply ploughed on regardless trying to juggle multiple things whilst under huge pressure whilst trying hard to keep everyone happy. That’s not something you see very often these days.To the company: Hire more staff. And promote Mo.

We spent four wonderful hours yesterday enjoying a delicious lunch by the fire with new baby and small dog too. Nothing was too much trouble for Mo who was attentive and professional whilst also being very busy. All the food was attractively presented and cooked beautifully. Especial mention goes to the Banoffee Pie.

Came here for a quiet dinner with my son, the place was not busy but nice and clean and food was delicious. Staff were very attentive and friendly, which was lovely these uncertain times. We were served by Donna, who was wonderful and very funny. Will definitely be back. Thank you Greyhound.

Lovely country pub warm and welcoming, we stopped off on our way home and had 2 ploughman’s and a portion of chips. The staff were polite and friendly and told us the entertainment came for free. It was a lovely spot to stop made we wish we had a pub like that at home

A group of friends and ourselves met here for lunch, although trying to park the car was a nightmare, avoid Friday lunchtime! A selection of meals from sandwiches, lovely carved ham, prawn cocktails both said nice, a lovely looking prawn, smoked salmon, avocado salad, I was told was lovely and I opted for the skate middle, which was small but nice. As always the pub was busy, with efficient service and we all had a good time

A lovely bar with a great atmosphere. We really enjoyed the nachos and wine. However, watched the nachos delivered to the incorrect table, which were then taken back to the bar, and when I asked Jake what had happened to the order he did not admit the error. Instead, in an unapologetic manner, said the kitchen was very busy and we would have to wait. I didn’t see him smile for the duration of our visit. Other than that, a nice time
