The Greyhound in Lancaster

As a local and an Airbnb owner I eat here a lot and am always very happy to recommend The Greyhound to any quests that stay with us. The food and ale selection is always top notch I'd highly recommend the pizzas, they are some of the best in the area.

Brilliant food, superb service,

Fantastic food, pie of the day superb, can’t speak highly enough, everyone loved their choices, pie, burgers, sausages all spot on

We convened upon Halton & the Greyhound by semi design & accident! Chap in charge just hit the right note, warm, welcoming, helpfully advising! The pies were legend:- cheese, lamb & mint & beef & ale. Each tried with mash, chips & peas. Pastry great, gravy fabulous! Give it a whirl! You'll enjoy!

Found this little gem by chance tonight whilst looking for something to eat! What a great little place! The staff are exceptionally welcoming, great choice of quality beers and the home cooked food is amazing and very reasonably priced to boot! Will be back very shortly!!👏👏👏👍👍👍😁😁😁

Great food and drink, very nice warmth atmosphere, dog friendly aswell. Great staff and get looked after from the moment you walk in 100% recommend the Sunday lunch

Lovely village pub....Run by great hosts Karen and Chris

Had a stop over here in my campervan on 28/09. We booked a table for 7pm without issue. The food was excellent (chicken curry and fish goujon sandwich) as was the Argentinian Malbec. Would definitely stop here again, thanks👍

The food is good and the beer is brilliant. Went in on an afternoon and there were around twenty people there. The service was not so great,the barman was away from the bar for at least ten mins which kept us waiting to be served. When he turned up he was friendly and informative of the beer available. So apart from that it was good.

An unscheduled visit often can be the best experience. We have had the most amazing lunch, the chicken Kiev was huge and very tasty. Staff friendly and helpful, facilities clean and comfortable.

Really enjoyed our drop in. The staff were great, and the food was lovely.

Lovely country pub. Great service. Fantastic food and very dog friendly Great place to visit highly recommend

Dropped in at around 4pm yesterday for food. I had the Gammon which was excellent and my wife had the Lasagne which was also excellent!

We phoned a day ahead to ask about staying in the car park in our motorhome which Chris was happy for us to do. It happened to be Tuesday Pie & A Pint night and we both enjoyed Karen’s cheese and onion pie very much. Would very happily return next time we are in the area.

Stopped in The Greyhound at Halton after a walk from Halton to the Crook o' Lune for a meal. Arrived at 4pm. Our Meals were both excellent. The Gammon was epic and my wife's Lasagne was delicious! We will be back!

Friendly team and food was ok once it arrived however we arrived without a booking and even though there were plenty of empty tables we couldn't order for 30 minutes and then the food didn't arrive for another 50 minutes. Ended up having to get takeaway containers and eat most of the meal in our car in order to make the hotel check-in cut off

Good food, pizza today was great

Wobbly seat backs in the booths. Seating is uncomfortable as you're knocking it to other guests. Food was nice, a bit on the cool side. Ice cream devine. Service OK.

Last minute decided to travel a day early up to the Lakes and called The Greyhound to see if we could stay on their car park. We ordered the homemade cheese and onion pie and a steak. Delicious, the chef came and chatted to us, very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this pub for its food and as a stopover.

Nice little pub, stopped by for a catch up with a mateband had a pint in the beer garden.

Great service and lovely food, Great family friendly pub, owners and staff very helpful and made to feel very welcome, thank you

My husband & my self visited this pub after cycling down the track from Lancaster. The weather was really good so we decided to stop for tea. The pub is in a great location with benches both out the back and the front. We went to order at the bar. The owners informed us that they had a few bookings coming in & were about to get busy but they still managed to kindly accommodate us. My husband and my self sat out on the front in the sunshine and enjoyed our Braised beef chili. Thoroughly enjoyed every bite.! We had a lovely conversation with the owner. This place really cares about their service, their customers and their food. A lot of time and effort has been put in to serving beautiful homemade dishes, The pub is friendly and welcoming and has a nice atmosphere. We will definitely return in the future and would recommend to others. Well done Greyhound excellent service & great food.

Had a few dinners at this lovely pub. Amazing food with amazing service, very accommodating even for larger groups. Would 100% recommend, would definitely return if ever in the area again. Thank you!

Great traditional pub. Amazing food, amazing service. 5☆☆☆☆☆

A few seam to think this place is not cheap? 5Star ratings all round!! Where can you get a Sunday lunch of quality for less than £14.00…The Greyhound…boom

Lovely village pub with home cooked meals. It's not cheap, but the meals are well worth every penny. The ingredients are fresh and good quality. Craft beers available, cocktails and a good selection of soft drinks. Friendly staff, lovely place and ample parking.

A good pub with very good craft beer and food

This was our first stop after a trip from Devon. Made to feel welcome. Gave a good recommendation of which local beers they had. Clean and tidy. Would recommend to anyone.

I Booked a table online for 2 plus a 7 month old, I requested a high chair and cold bottle of wine on the table. I was happy to see this had been done and on our arrival they wished us happy anniversary. They were very welcoming. The menu was good, could have had more option of starters but it was clear they changed the menu on a regular basis. The food was well portioned, cooked well and of good quality and fresh! We were served by one of the landlords and he made an effort to chat to us and interacted with our child, he was very friendly and sociable ! We will definitely be back. The pub is dog friendly and has plenty of space inside and out.

Hallway a pleasant experience when calling in here for a pint

Lovely lunch today, by far the best fish we have eaten this trip.

Great Sunday lunch for round corner to where I live. Edit as of 9.07.24 Been here few times now and the food is amazing friendly staff, people in there make you feel welcome and like everyone knows everyone so great place to go, added all stars to my review as I can't honestly fault the place now....(Maybe bigger TV for football games haha)

Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Delicious fresh made food. Highly recommend a visit. We are going back before our holiday finishes 🙂

What a great pub, good food, great value and a warm welcome by the landlord. Will definitely come here again next time we are passing.

Friday lunchtime fairly quiet so not a lot of vibe. Servings huge on fish n chips. Not the cheapest of places.

As it was a sunday, the missus and I fancied the roast dinner they had advertised. This has to be the best place to go for a roast dinner, both our plates were full and tasted great. Much better portions and tasted better than Longlands and cheaper, I only just managed to finish it.

Really lovely staff, I had the cracking Pie, peas and pint for £10 deal. The pastry was so fresh and it was delicious. Really good outside area for the sunshine too!

Lovely traditional village pub. Beers on tap, seating outside and inside. Quite quiet when we went so we played pool and darts. Didn't try the food. Staff friendly and beer good. Not cheap though at 4.50 a pint, but I guess that's to do with the area and current prices (we don't visit pubs that often). We enjoyed our visit here.

Had a Sunday dinner here while staying locally. We both decided to try the beef and it didn't disappoint...amazing food and the gravy was the best I've ever tasted!

Fabulous Sunday lunch, in fact one of the best we have ever had, and we have had many in various places around the UK. Owners were extremely friendly and staff were very efficient. I would without doubt recommend this pub for a meal and especially the Sunday roast. We will return for sure when back in the area. We were not put off in the slightest at the previous reviews… you can’t please everybody!

Never going back to this place, when we came in the atmosphere in the pub changed abruptly, and did not make us feel welcome; all of the staff stopped talking, stared at us and didn't respond at first when we asked for the menus. When we did finally order, I asked for a apple crumble pie and made it very clear (I had to repeat it 3 times) that I wanted it before the main course; this was caught with confusion and judgement from the bartender and he asked me 3 times if I was sure I wanted it before my main course. The wait for the food was in my opinion very long, it took almost 30 minutes from us ordering our food and it coming to us, when the pub itself was empty. The staff were overall very rude and seemed very unprofessional. People were also allowed to vape inside the business (including bar personnel) which is a health risk for non smokers but also an allergy risk. When the other person from our party posted a review, the buisiness replied by saying that “when the circus is next in town, find some where else to dine.” Of course, as a queer person of colour the first vibe I got was that there was either a race issue or an issue with us visibly being queer, which in my opinion is absurd. Lancaster has a rich punk and queer history and I honestly expected better than this. By the way that we were treated, I can safely say that this is not a space where you will be wanted and or safe as a Black and/or queer person so be warned.

Bad vibes from the start; walking in first got us a bunch of stares from staff and not much else, didn't seem throughout the visit as if they wanted us there. Starters were forgotten about entirely. Food took incredibly long to come out, and was not exactly bad but mostly flavourless. People were also being allowed to vape inside, which is an allergy concern for us aside from a courtesy thing. It's a pub, the bar doesnt have to be high overall, but this wasn't it. Edit: the owner has responded describing our presence as "the circus coming to town". This clarifies the unwelcoming treatment we got throughout - two of us are trans and one of us is black. With Lancaster, my home town, being historically queer I expect better of my fellow Lancastrians. Queer residents should demand the same. I did not want to mention our identities or races in the original review as we had no proof of actual discrimination and wouldn't claim that without it. However, whether it was queerphobia, racism or both, the owner has now outed themselves for us instead. To their first point, our intentions for dessert first were only based on preference and not on somehow making things hard for kitchen staff, as we are all former restaurant staffers. We came in for a meal; we were served bigotry and now, in response, excuses for not caring to be better. Ban us; we'll never notice.

I have just had several delicious Real Ales and Lasagne. Absolutely fantastic ale and food. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Friendly staff and great vibe. Having just been told about the previous bad review as I was sat, and still am, in the pub I completely disagree with their comments. The staff were busy and had no time to stare. Very friendly folks and grest place. I have never been here before but will be back again. Keep up the good work folks and don't let the odd weirdo get you down

Stayed here for 1 night in our motorhome. Good communication as I messaged ahead. Parked up the far corner, nice spot. Road noise in the day but quiet at night and didn't bother us. Could have provided water for our van but we didn't need it. Couldn't have been a better location for the bus into Lancaster, stop right outside. Lovely pub inside, welcoming,nice pizza.

Excellent food and drink, will definitely return

We were a large party on a Saturday night but the team did not disappoint

Great food, lovely pub, decent car park

Whilst staying nearby on holiday and searching for somewhere to eat, I’m so glad we travelled to this restaurant as it’s one of the nicest places I’ve eaten in recently. 2 adults and 2 children and we all loved it. Food was delicious and well presented. A great choice of food and the dessert menu is amazing! My two children cleared their plates and said it was the best place they’ve been to. I’d go out of my way again to visit this place and would recommend anyone nearby to also give it a go. A brilliant find after just seeing it on my maps apps. Nice atmosphere, large table booths, delicious food (big portions), friendly staff and an all round great experience.

Lovely food and excellent staff. Salted chicken wings were awesome.

Had a lovely meal at the greyhound , would definitely return , good selection of cask ales, good lunch menu , lovely clean toilets , with a nice touch of free to use toiletries

Amazing food. Went for Mother's Day. We had a Sundy dinner and three of us had the double burgers. Catered for fuzzy children and put food on the side. The burgers were massive. Couldn't fault. Good selection of drinks too. Loved the Mother's Day little gifts ❤️

Friendly local pub. Eaten here a couple of times, and the food has been excellent.

Called in whilst cycling along the Lune. Friendly welcome. Convivial atmosphere. Great service. Superb beer (Timothy Taylor, Landlord). Good food, we had fish and chips and Gamon. Brilliant, a must for the hungry traveller.

Not been for a while went as early mothers day treat off my daughter lovely food lovely staff cheese onion pie beautiful thanks

After a chilled Sunday we decided to venture out for some dinner. As is normally the case in a family we all fancied something different. I'm all about the gravy, my partner always goes for burgers and our daughter demands pasta. It's tough to find somewhere serving a Sunday menu that caters to our lack of food unity. After a search I came across the Greyhound checked the menu which, unlike most places on a sunday, has a good selection of everything! Checked the reviews and quickly got in to their booking system. Luckily we managed to get a table for last food order time (always a good sign when somewhere is busy) We were greeted by the warm and friendly landlord and shown to our table. We already knew what we wanted but still had a look over the menu again just to be sure 😉 my only huge decision was which meat did I want 🤔 I opted for the lamb. Food came out in good time, the wait you would expect of a decent meal. Not too long but not the length of time a microwave would take. We were served by the landlady who was absolutely lovely, friendly and chatty. She happily brought me more of my Sunday craving of gravy when asked. Anyway on to the food! One word AMAZING! Huge portion of deliciousness! meat perfectly cooked, crunchy veg, perfect roasts topped with a proper yorkshire pud and the gravy OH my god the proper homemade GRAVY! It's really difficult to find somewhere that serves a roast that competes with your own at home, we are all biased aren't we. Well the Greyhound you have saved me hours of prep and fussing hands down! My little family, who don't appreciate my true love of gravy, demolished their double stacked bacon cheeseburger and macaroni cheese with a side of cheesy nachos in no time. The macaroni cheese was clearly homemade and done in the traditional way. Safe to say they enjoyed their choices as much as I did. Clear plates all round! Just an FYI to the person below who has given a not so flattering review. If you order salt and pepper chips the clue is in the title. You will of course, weirdly enough be served CHIPS. Prehaps you could have asked for fries? After asking the landlady ourselves for extras and a chat about our daughters love of halloumi it's clear that specific requests will be more than accomadeted here. Just ask! We are already planning our next visit!

We came here last night for our monthly date night after hearing some good reviews. We both ordered the peri chicken kebab with a side of halloumi and upgraded to salt and pepper chips. Dinner arrived and my flatbread was hard and stone cold. My partners was better but still not perfect. Both of our chicken pieces were like rubber. Very dry and overcooked. The meal said to come with fries and we chose to upgrade to salt and pepper, thinking that they would still be fries but came out as chunky chips. Of which I don’t like. My satisfaction with this meal came through with the amount of leftovers on my plate. Very disappointing and the price of the meal did not reflect the quality at all. We were planning on staying for a pudding, but were so unhappy with the main meal, we decided against it.

Great food and even better beer. We shall return when we next stop in Lancaster in September. Thanks.

What a lovely place for a cosy evening, we received a warm welcome from the very friendly lanlord who direced us to our reserved table. The menu is varied, something for everyone, our party ordered curry, fish and chips, sausage and mash and lasagne, every one of us found our meal to be well pesented, hot and plentiful, it was also beautifully cooked, many thanks to the wonderful chef Phoebe ! We then had desserts and coffee, again all well presented and the drinks were hot. We can highly recommend this venue for the food which is also very reasonably priced and for the lovely atmosphere. We will be back again soon.

A superb family run pub, we went for my partners 30th and the Chris and Karen cannot do anymore for you. They are so welcoming and accommodating and we just love their company. The food is absolutely amazing, and their roast dinners 10/10. Great value for money, lovely open fires and a great outdoor area - roll on summer!

A few hours with family and great local people, very relaxing and friendly staff 😁🤓

Me and my friends go for tea regularly to the greyhound since Karen and Chris took over. They are so welcoming and helpful. Karen knew this week we were all trying to lose our Christmas pounds and recommended the home made chilli. It was delicious and all low fat. I would thoroughly recommend trying it out.

Excellent food x friendly staff

Lovely place to go for family meals or just drinks Friendly staff, dog friendly too Meals are very tasty 😋 the homemade pies are divine. Good potion sizes, great value for money. My son enjoys playing pool here and food too 😍

The meal was good service was good and friendly the atmosphere was good all round it was good

Friendly staff top village pub and made my 19 Yr old sons birthday finish with a smile. Not entirely sure what previous review was about but was definitely a different pub. Get yourself down for pie peas and a pint if not the music nights are the best. Thanks to a warm friendly family team for every time we visit. The best.

Great birthday party. Delicious food.

I’ve raved about the food (especially the pies) at the Greyhound before but the Sunday roast dinner deserves a special mention. Beautifully cooked and presented. Tasty and plenty of it. I enjoyed every single mouthful. We’re moving away shortly but this is well worth coming back for.

Lovely friendly accommodating staff. Good food and nice pleasant atmosphere. Recommended

Another wonderful evening at the Greyhound. It may be 299 miles from home but it appears that it is our local pub by the number of visits 3 make! A fantastic welcome, lovely people. A true family business with total commitment. Superb. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

We were greeted with a lovely warm welcome from Chris & Karen. The food was beautiful with lots to choose from. I had the 5 bean chilli & my partner had the fishcakes to start & chicken Kiev for main. The pub had a cosy atmosphere, & we really enjoyed being sat next to the roaring open fire with a glass of red wine & a mulled wine with mince pie. Looking forward to returning very soon. The festive menu sounds delicious.

The food was superb, we had the Sunday lunch and it was very, very good. The staff and management were very professional and would do anything to help. I will be going back in the future.

Brilliant gilage pub really well kept beer recommended for a visit

Food was perfect and the staff were spot on and nice and friendly been a couple of time and the service only ever gets better, the atmosphere was perfect. Will be returning again and again!

Fantastic Sunday lunch. I'd highly recommend it.

Missed the food so will go again. Staff friendly. Beer offerings good.

Grand pub, very friendly locals. Good ale.

We had a lovely early tea at The Greyhound! Polite friendly staff good food and the most important point it was dog friendly. 😊 Thank you very much.

Lovely dog friendly pub, with very welcoming and friendly staff. The Greyhound offers a very good food variety menu, and I have to say there Sunday lunch is amazing, one of the best pub Sunday lunches I've had in long time. My husband had the Cumberland sausage meal which he described as very tasty and would defo eat again.

I visit this pub regularly with work colleagues. It’s a Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Staff are great. Food is lovely and drinks always great! Highly recommend.

Fantastic food & fantastic host x

Clean place and friendly staff. Cold drinks were properly cold! Easy to park.

Karen and Chris are excellent hosts. Food is very good. It's so good to have a brilliant pub back on our doorstep.

Had the Curry special and the pie of the day. Both excellent. Proper wedge of pie. Stopped over night in camervan

Brilliant pub food and a pizza menu.

Attended for a meal with 6 people for my birthday and everyone enjoyed their food. Very tasty pizzas and we will be returning. We spoke to the owner and their service is excellent.

Fantastic evening with great food and attentive staff. Will definitely be back in the near future

Karen very welcoming, good food, reasonably priced.

The pub was quiet as I visited on a Tuesday lunchtime. Really nice staff member on duty who was friendly, professional and attentive throughout my visit. I ordered the Cumberland Sausage with mash and peas which was A1. The sausage is sourced from a farmer/butcher in Silverdale and was delicious. No mass produced rubbish here! Thanks for your hospitality. My visit was a real pleasure.

Nice food at reasonable prices Friendly staff Just off the M6, quiet when we were here, plenty parking

Fantastic Sunday roast! Just what was needed after completing The Beast 108mile sportive 🚴‍♀️. Great service from all the staff, will definitely be back.

I had a great meal from the Specials board on Thursday evening; sea bass with smashed new potatoes, shrimps and capers (perfectly cooked sea bass with crispy skin and all very tasty) followed by apple pie and ice cream - it was all gluten free. And it's worth noting that they serve a GF larger on draft. Thank you to the Greyhound staff for catering GF so well!

A great place for food and drinks. Food always very good and the beers we’ll looked after. Friendly vibe throughout, everyone made to feel welcomed.

A spantonous trip to this place coming back from Scotland to go leicester... we thought we would visit Lancashire and park up.. saw this lovely pub and decided to go inside... The owner Chris and the staff are ever so friendly! Good service at a very high standard 👌 the food was very nice and the price is affordable! I highly recommend this place. Chris is the man !

Great food, catered for a family of 7. All had something different of the menu- fish, gammon, pizzas, burger. Good selection of drinks from larger to IPAs, plenty if choice for kids too.

We arrived without a booking and they found us a table. We had a Sunday roast, which was delicious. The staff are warm and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

A lovely place to stop. The most helpful people and so friendly. The food was lovely, excellent pub grub. Relaxed atmosphere, cheerful and helpful. Somewhere to sit and spend an evening playing cards and dominos👍

Met with friends last night. The food was great, best cheese and onion pie. Staff very friendly, had a lovely night.

I had scampi and chips at the greyhound on Friday. It was excellent. The chips were particularly good. The hosts make you very welcome and the entertainment is superb particularly on a Friday night with Danny Mathews. Thoroughly recommend. X

Just been for some food in The Greyhound Bloody brilliant. Couldn’t fault it Staff (Karen & Chris) mega friendly. Food was top notch & arrived quick & really fresh Well done 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👏
