The Greyhound in Central Bedfordshire

The sun is shining, a pint of moretti, and a cheese and ham baguette with chips. All served with a smile. The baguette was fresh and still warm. 😀 recommend popping in.

A bit quiet. Midweek lunch. Great food and service.

Didn't go here but stopped briefly in the car park. There's a play area and outdoor seating.

Pleasant staff. Nice atmosphere. Bike friendly. Lunch time menu good also.

Had a delicious Sunday Roast here, the food was amazing, 10/10 and would definitely recommend, however the service wasn’t what I was expecting. I was greeted by a girl wearing unprofessional clothes and sunglasses on her head and came over to our table several times asking if we were okay even though we said we just wanted to have a catch up with our friends after we had finished Sunday dinner. She spoke loudly across the whole restaurant as well as telling us stories about her life and all was abit to over the top. Seemed to be rude to the other young staff working, even though they were polite and well mannered to us and provided better service. Overall we had lovely food just a shame it had a dark cloud over it, hopefully planning to visit again soon with different service.

Ran out of food !! Even crisps but Ale was kept really well and was a nice to spend an hour there after 20 years away...

Great Tapas, lovely village and excellent beer garden. Good choice of beers too Highly recommended They’ve changed the menu to boring usual pub grub, steak and chips, burgers etc No vegan option- veggie if you like halloumi, so disappointing

Staff seemed friendly but there only seemed to be a tapas menu on offer unfortunately. Was expecting the pub grub type menu or even gastropub type food!

Had a meet up with a car club. Great Sunday lunch and venue.

Amazing tapas food, especially the ham croquettes and meatballs. Lovely pub in a lovely rural setting.

Really recommend the new Tapas menu at the Greyhound. Lots of choice and food was all very tasty, and excellent friendly service.

Fantastic tapas served hot and well presented and good Greene King IPA Good value all round Georgia and Hattie were fantastic hosts

This is a hidden gem, food is absolutely lovely - totally turned the pub around 5⭐️

Tapas lunchtime menu was varied, plenty of vegan options and very good value for money. Excellent service and fresh food

I was part of a group of 20 ramblers whose lunch orders were managed very professionally by helpful, friendly staff. We chose dishes from the new tapas style menu and it was fresh and delicious . I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch and found the menu and service great.

My walking group Rothsay Ramblers started our Monday morning 5 miles walk from The Greyhound (Haynes) today. Pre-order and use the facilities - but return at 12:30 to find our pre-ordered lunches for 19 people ready with excellent selection of beers or soft drinks! The menu and ownership has changed from the last time RR had walked from this venue - however, all for the good! Food offered was based on Spanish Tapas style - but really good home cooked. Different from your standard pub fare - a pleasant welcome from the ‘same old, same old’ pub meals! I would highly recommend The Greyhound and I shall certainly be returning here - either leading a walk or meet-up with a few friends! Thank you to all at The Greyhound!

Came over to try out new tapas menu and WOW most enjoyable tapas iv eaten. 100% come back for more. Food and staff all amazing. Will be recommending more of the family come a try it .

Amazing Tapas I will be returning time and time again lovely warm village pub atmosphere and cozy dinning area, the homemade hummus was amazing

Just been for lunch at the Greyhound in Haynes having not been there for a few years and wow did I get a shock!!! It’s had a complete makeover and it looks superb!!! Staff were extremely welcoming and really looked after us. The food is from a Tapas menu which is not my normal choice, but I have been converted. It was delicious and I will definitely be going back there for more.

Just visited the Greyhound to try out the new tapas menu and WOW, it was amazing. Really tasty food all home cooked and served piping hot. Couldn’t fault it Tom the chef even opened the kitchen early for us. Will definitely be going again.

Went to Flavours at The Greyhound tonight for tapas, and it was fantastic. Ambience, service and above all, the food, were all brilliant. We chose about 9 dishes (for 3 people) and all were really delicious. Couldn't really recommend a favourite dish as all were excellent. Would thoroughly recommend

Lovely village pub and restaurant, good pub favourites menu and excellent beers. Dined this evening with three retired work colleagues, something we do several times a year here. Good service and not kept waiting. Good location also for a lunchtime visit and the bus stop is right outside.

We had an amazing Sunday carvery meal at The Greyhound in December 2023. The portions of meats are huge with a great selection of other items including roast potatoes to die for! Choice of beef, gammon and turkey, all very well cooked. Desserts were also very enjoyable. Comfortable surroundings and a good range of drinks, we were not rushed to finish our meals and were able to sit and chat after the meal. We would certainly recommend and would return again.

We visited today for the Sunday carvery, well presented, a choice of 3 meats, beef, gammon and roast turkey, complimented with all the trimmings. Would definitely recommend 😀

Attended a craft fair, very good.

Fantastic carvery, generous portions.. Friendly staff. Would recommend a visit

Had a fabulous sunday carvery today cant praise it anoth it felt like a home cooked meal, staff were lovely and friendly will definitely be going back.

Only had drinks but such a nice relaxing atmosphere

Nice food, good atmosphere. Dogs made very welcome.

Great Sunday Roast, great service and friendly staff. Nice outdoor seating and play area for the kids.

Visited friends and went for a drink in the Greyhound. Very quiet night on Monday but made to feel welcome and enjoyed our stay.

Cosy countryside pub with open fire and large beer garden. Food reasonably priced.

Was here for the dog fest and was amazing brilliant village pub

Lunch was booked for our walking group today. Lovely staff, good beer and tasty pub grub.

Only went to meet some friends. Never been before. Very pleasant experience 😁😁

Had a great meal at the greyhound this evening. Couldn’t fault anything the food was homemade and the service was great.

Great early dinner with 2 young children. Great pub food and a nice pint to boot. Sadly the parrots were in bed but we still had good fun. Good sized play park for the summer, too.

The menu was basic and the quality of the food was really poor for a nice local pub. Extremely disappointing experience overall and wouldn't return.

Special price two or three course menu is a bit restricted but has enough on it to make a selection available. Food was well prepared and did not take too long to come out

Lunch time visit, only an IPA cask ale on which is unusual for a GK pub. Bad timing on my part as garden peace was shattered by on visiting skip lorry taking an age to collect a skip.

Good pint friendly staff and regulars

Great location, great atmosphere, lovely food and ok prices. Stopped off for a family lunch, staff did well and everyone left stuffed and happy, thank you.

Last minute cancellation after a friend drove over from Northampton. Nothing on website or FB page to say the kitchen was closed. They did leave a message. I would imagine with it being a Monday and due to poor customer numbers they decided it wasn't worthwhile to open the kitchen. Went to The Five Bells in Henlow instead which was perfect.

We had our takeaway from here tonight. We were so impressed and premium quality and really enjoyed our meal. An item of food was missing from our order but it was dealt was so well and our missing item plus complimentary extra was brought out to us asap. Will definitely order from here again. Thank you for a lovely meal

We booked for 14 ladies, with multiple dietary requirements. The chef made special off the menu dishes to suit. They couldn't have been more accommodating. Everyone agreed the food was excellent, the service warm and friendly and the surroundings cosy and relaxed. More than happy to support this place in the future....in fact... regularly.

A nice warm restaurant for a January evening. The staff are very polite. The steak was delicious and tasty. Pudding option was lovely. And the Greyhound decor of greyhounds is quite novel. Pop along for a warm atmosphere with an inviting open fire.

Excellent themed nights this year, very enjoyable. Great food & frequent live music.

Very enjoyable evening with attentive service

Quite possibly the most disappointing meal I have ever paid for. Poor menu, low quality food at a shockingly inflated price. Four people, 2 courses, £144.

Disappointing. Inefficient, understaffed, expensive. Doesn't deserve Good Beer Guide status.

great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food and service. would definitely recommend. 👍🏼

Really enjoyed the food and it was reasonably priced too.

Great village pub. Cosy atmosphere, big outdoor space, friendly staff.

Very nice country pub. Went because it is dog friendly and it was! The food was good quality and they accommodated my fussy habits, lol. Great staff, good atmosphere. Will be back.

Lovely traditional pub in the countryside and really beautiful on a nice day. Have not tried the food yet but looking forward to it.

I waited 30 minutes in the main bar and was not served. No sign of any staff. I could have helped myself to all the spirits and they wouldn't have known! Apparently they're only using the outside bar but no-one had put the sign up. BBQ menu only, ridiculously overpriced. Junior staff were excellent but the publican gave me a look of contempt. Recommend you avoid.

Nice pub, good food, good selection of drinks

Lovely country pub with big outdoor seating area aswell as indoor eating area. Off road parking and a big play area for children. Discovered the greyhound when I was out on my bike 🏍 and called in for a quick lager shandy. The drink prices are good and although I haven't tried it the food looks amazing and every time I have been there since there has always been quite a few people eating. Staff are very friendly and the pub seems to have a generally good atmosphere about it. Altogether a great family friendly pub. Would recommend a visit here.

Very pleasant atmosphere. Staff v friendly and welcoming. At the time of our visit pub was quite empty but felt very comfortable in our surroundings. Food very tasty and good value but was slightly disappointed that on a Saturday evening at 6pm 3 of the dishes from the menu weren't available.

Lacklustre food and service. Poor quality burger. Soggy chips. Pea shoots well past their best. Miniscule garnish. Tea for two in one very small clearly one person pot. When asked where second pot was, told this was for two - the volume filled one and a third of the two cups we were given. No basic co dimmers and ketchup bottle empty. Food and service Just felt very tired overall.

Nice little rural pub with lots of outdoor space. I expect we will be back soon!

Haven't been for a long time and not really impressed with the meal, will not recommended

Not over impressed with with the meal

Just had an amazing Sunday lunch, food was outstanding staff were friendly and welcoming. The pub and restsurant are beautiful. Can't recommend enough.

Nice cosy bar, well maintained and clean. The staff was friendly and welcoming, very pleasant young man I can't remember his name. I recommend this place.

This is a gem of a county pub that has modern traditional decor. Visited with a small group of walking friends. Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Limited but very good value lunchtime menu, good well cooked and presented food.

This pub was a great find. We were doing a 6 mile circular walk leaving the car at Rowney Warren. So decided to try the Greyhound in the small village of Haynes for lunch. It was excellent, the 2 course menu was only £10 with plenty of choice. The beer was good (Green King) and a reasonable choice of wine. On top of this the friendly waitress served us at the table all our drinks and wine. All the food was excellent, tasted great, was plentiful and looked the part. Will visit again, making it the lunch stop, just varying the walk. Thanks for a good time.

This place could be so much more. To be told there not cooking anymore food because the kitchen is busy was actually beyond me 🤷‍♂️ apart from that it was kinda ok but we went for food and a pint so 🤔 how disappointing 6/10

A really nice pub, with friendly staff and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. 2 issues food could be better for price and wait for food is bad. More staff needed during busy periods.

Booked for 8 of us for Mother's day and it was appalling. See larger review from one of our party below. Couldn't believe how poor it was when there were only 8 to 10 tables in total being served and a very limited menu. So there should have been no issue.Very embarrassed as I recommended it to our friends. Food was mediocre at best and staff didn't really seem to be interested about our complaints. Fawlty towers springs to mind!

Main meal really nice. The two staff members one at the bar and one being waitress felt sorry for as they had loads to do and not enough hands to do it. Food hugely over priced

Utter Shambles and it wasn't even busy! Only 8 of us & the table where we sat was loose & wobbly, so we asked to move to another table. Table needs to be fixed or removed from the Restaurant!! Starter, forgot to bring out 1 persons soup!! Poor Service!! Ordered a Lime n Soda, waitress came back, sorry No Lime! Offered by waitress, so ordered the Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream, waitress came back, sorry none available! Asked for cream with my tart pudding, waitress bought tart to table, sorry No cream!!! Coffee; 2 Latteé that tasted dreadful & were undrinkable!! 1 Americano that had loads of coffee grout in the bottom of the cup!! Took the coffee to the Manager to show the grout, wasn't particularly interested or apologetic, said would take the 3 coffees off the bill. When the bill came, only 2 coffees removed, had to go away again and remove the 3rd!! Won't be going back - Shambles!!

Visited after hearing of the new evening menu, and what a change, all homemade using locally sourced ingredients, and not a hint of anything going near a microwave. Menu is typically British classics, simply done with great flavours.

Great food, dog friendly (even did our hungry dog a couple of sausages). We sat outside but was invited inside. Polite staff and good value.

Magic pub good food good hospitality recommend

A brilliant pub and restaurant. The staff are brilliant and a well run to boot.

This place serves food and has parrots nearby. Management are rude.

Really lovely pub!!! It has been given a decent refurb!! Friendly barmaid!!! Loved it!

Beutiful pub this!!! It has been done up, over the years, and it's latest incarnation, is spot on!!! Lovely barmaid, friendly and the pub has beutiful decor!!!

Good choice of food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Choice of 1 beer when we were there. Be ready for the very loud, beautiful parrots! Recommended.

Nice pub,shame about the rudeness of the staff! Have a caged parrot in the middle of the pub,I touched the cage twice just to get the bird's attention and was abruptly preached by the landlady about the bird's powerful beak and how many psi of pressure it had on tap and not to "aggrevate" it! Maybe if it's that dangerous,there ought to be some warning signs put up! Will definitely not be going back in a hurry!

We had not been here for a number of years so weren't sure what to expect as the most recent reviews were not complimentary. How wrong they are. Despite restrictions having been lifted, Covid measures were still (thankfully!) in place and we felt perfectly at ease. We had walked from our village and sat outside to eat and drink. The menu was a good pub choice menu and we both had starters and a main. The fajitas were a great choice and there was certainly plenty to eat. My only disappointment was the lack of choice of beer, as although i will drink Greene King IPA, it would not be my first choice! The landlady Corry was superb and gave us a guided tour and talk on her macaws - very interesting! Also good to talk with a local, my namesake! All in all a good decision to visit and we will be back!

Will not return, rude staff and from entering we was made to feel very un welcome!

The tables outside with music makes a good atmosphere. Personally I found the menu a bit more pub grub but the portions were generous

Very strong with covid rules asking for my kids names which i didnt won't to provide so they were very RUDE!! and would let use in avoid!!!

Nice country pub excellent range of beer and lagers.Menu looked good and I will be coming back in the near future for a meal 👍👍

Didn't go inside but the outside has been very well developed. The menu is simple and basically F to F or microwave. No grills. Although not busy the service was pleasant but slow. A simple meal for 2 with drinks was just over £50.

I had an excellent time, the staff were exceptionally friendly and the Hunters Chicken Burger I had was superb. At the moment only the outside seating is available because of covid restrictions so we ate in the beer garden, it was a great atmosphere and very pretty in the evening. As an added bonus the owner of the pub also has an aviary adjacent to the pub with parrots in it and she was more than happy to show them to us when we enquired about them, they are clearly very well looked after and made an excellent finish to an already great day!

The waitress was attentive but food was very sub average and overpriced. Limited lunch menu. Overall average with nice garden.

Great place and wonderful owners 👍

Lovely fish and chips, terrific value for money.

Lovely friendly and accomadating pub everyone was REALLY nice .and the food is unbelievably good best i have tasted anywhere by far ..

Lovely pint outside in the garden

Really excellent.. What a pub should be.

Lovely dinner last night, special deal with mini bottle off Prosecco too! Very well organised, Covid safety paramount. Love our local ❤️

Great pub,had fish and chips Friday night and it was superb,staff couldn’t do enough for you,made very welcome and we were checked and asked for our details on entry over the COVID virus,well done to the staff to keep us all safe and only took a few minutes,definitely going back there

A really nice clean and safe place to eat and drink with a lovely welcome

I visited today and the bar staff were very friendly and professional, however that was short lived as I was asked to move out of one of the shed in the garden because we had a dog, this after we had our first course. The reason for this is dogs can carry corna virus and there was NO mention of dogs not being allowed in the shed when we went into the garden. This really reunied the entire afternoon and we wished we had gone somewhere else which allowed a more dog friendly environment.

Absolutely terrible service. I'm all for stringent covid-19 protocols but when you and a group of friends have the drinks you have just bought confiscated and you are told to leave the premises - for making an honest mistake (walking the wrong way down a one way system), I think the owner might've taken this a tad far. A gentle reminder that you are still in the service industry and treating your customers with a bit of humility, whilst we all adapt to the new normal will go a long way.
