The Greyhound Freehouse in Mid Suffolk

A very good night out, that's how I describe this place. As soon as you walk in you know it's going to be good. Lots of people in the bar, we sat in the restaurant which is lovely plenty of space and you can see the huge pizza oven. Service was friendly and we felt so welcome. Food was delicious and the beer was apparently a great pint! We will definitely be back.

If you like fresh baked pizza and good real ale, this place is really top notch. Fresh ingredients coupled with a build your own option if you wish makes a pizza difficult to better. It's good value too.

Very nice would recommend good pizza

Had a lovely meal here, staff were super friendly and were particularly helpful as my wife has food allergies. Fantastic pizzas, would recommend without hesitation.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff

Staying in the area for a week and the Greyhound was recommended for their pizza, definitely some of the best pizza we’ve had, wood fired pizza at its finest! We had the home cooked halloumi cheese fries which were perfect, you could tell they were home cooked and not just taken from the freezer, really good with some lovely chilli jam, the pizza was so big, we went large, that some slices were boxed up to take home. Great selection of ales with a really warm friendly feeling with very friendly and helpful staff, enjoyed it so much we’re going back tomorrow!

Well know for their pizza. All freshly made and fired in their custom oven. Extensive menu of toppings which aren’t skimped on in any way. Service is quick and attentive. Good crowd for those coming to eat, and for those coming just for drinks.

We had a wonderful meal here - we hadn't booked and just asked for a table when we arrived. The menu is mostly pizza and starters/sides though there are a small number of other things (e.g. lasagne and mac cheese) and dessert. We had a small pizza each plus a couple of sides - everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. We'd definitely recommend!

Didn't try the food good old fashion pub, warm feel, fireplace, good beer at good prices

Excellent pizza. Great choice on the menu, friendly service and nice atmosphere. Will visit again.

Local village pub doing fabulous sourdough pizzas

Never fails to please. Excellent pizza 🍕 great real ales

Went here for dinner, it's mainly a pizza place with a few other dishes. My wife and daughter shared a full size pizza and I had a smaller one to myself, they were both excellent, I couldn't finish mine but I'm not a big eater. We all thought the food top class, service was too. A very friendly atmosphere, the host came round twice to check that we were happy. All in all a great meal in a lovely pub.

Really nice place and staff seamed nice and happy to help, just moved into the village and thought I'd give it a look, all prices reasonable and pizza was top notch, good choice of food on menu and cater for gluten free, wasnt a issue bringing my daughter like some places and also they are dog freindly, looking forward to hog roll Sunday and nice pint to wash it down, just found my first local that I will be happy returning to, Update been back many times and now my local and very happy with it the staff are more than welcoming and get to know you as a person or family, top rated pub from my opinion that's for sure only thing I would say it needs it either a juke box or to play louder music for the bar side of things, but that's not a negative that's just my opinion

Excellent friendly place to eat, pizza was fantastic, staff welcoming and friendly. If you like pizza then The Greyhound is the place to visit.

Friendly staff, but weird locals (50/50)...

Absolutely brilliant!! The very best pizza I have had in ages!! So fresh straight from the pizza oven. Can get busy so book a table......

Great food. Always good experience.

Lovely friendly happy,smiley staff. Great pizzas, outstanding homemade chips. Highly recommended. Well done all.

Visited on a Saturday, nice atmosphere and pizzas were very good. Limited menu but something for everyone. Only negative comment would be that the menu is written on a blackboard on a wall which has a table in front of it so if customers are seated there it’s very hard and awkward to read.

AMAZING service last night! Thank you so much for looking after us so well.

Absolutely super wood fired pizzas. Friendly bartender who was very helpful and great to talk to also. A nice selection of drinks available and we thoroughly enjoy our visits.

Hello everybody welcome to wakey wines

I love this pub and I love the food. Wood fired pizza, hand made in full view to order. What's not to love? They even have a gluten free offering. Side dishes, halloumi fries, chorizo with sriracha, dirty fries - it's all amazing. Always a good selection of local ales, served to perfection, which to a person who grew up looking after real ale means clean pipes and deep knowledge. All this and dog friendly too.

Only a quick lunch time visit as part of a walk in the area but the pub ambiance was lovely (locals mainly I think) and very welcoming - the food was basic but delicious and cheap!

Up there with the best pizzas I've ever had. Deliciously fresh ingredients and crisp, thin bases with a wide range of toppings available. Homemade halloumi fries are excellent too as is the garlic bread. Service is also great and atmosphere of both pub and restaurant is buzzing. Highly recommended.

Can't fault this Pub, Superb! thank you for having us all this afternoon was a delight to come in with some of our football team. After never being here before, we like to find a local pub to support when not near our usual. As you can imagine we can seem to be intimidating as there are a few of us.(but we are far from) especially if the lads have food 😂 From the moment we walked in we felt welcome, we came in with our daughter asleep in our arms and a lady came over once we got our table and asked what drinks we would like which we didn't expect at all. Amazing, thank you. Some of the lads already had ordered the Hog Rolls and Chips, so gave them a try ourselves, no skimping on the crackling and the apple sauce was divine, the hog was cooked to perfection. The kids especially loved the home cooked chips "best they have tasted" from a very fussy 9 year old. Once a few of us left we moved into the back room to play some pool, where some locals were happy to join in for a few games too. Atmosphere and service was great from all in pub, all in a timely manor, drinks were great, wide variety. Can honestly say was an absolute privilege to be able to be welcomed in for the afternoon can definitely say would love to come back again if we're the area, would love to try your Pizzas!

Visiting relatives in Botesdale. Watched World Cup Football. Great atmosphere, friendly locals and staff

Good beer and very good pizzas. A comfortable dog friendly pub. Log fire in main bar area. Novel mens loo!!!

Great quiz night with lovely pizza

Awful service Wouldn't go again Phoned up to order at 16:10 Was told to collect my order at 17:20 as the kitchen doesn't open until 17:00 Arrive at 17:15 Sat waiting, got the sorry for the wait your pizza won't be long, Sat waiting, pizzas going in and out of the oven being cut and boxed, thought to myself it won't be long, Sat there until 17:50, asked what's happening to be told my order will be another hour What a brilliantly organised place. Couple sat next to me also fuming as they got told there order has been cancelled after waiting the same amount of time as me, the lad making pizzas was very chatty with the people getting their pizzas, maybe his mates came first. Poor sevice

Amazing pizza cooked in a pizza oven. Other dishes available.

Lovely atmosphere and warmth back to the old days- awesome pizza very busy was sorry to leave - worth a visit on a Tuesday night 😁

Floccinaucinihilipilification (to judge something with disgrace for you plebs) - How I would define this establishment to any fellow goat owners/enthusiasts if it were not for the excellent food. An utter opprobrium that this place believes it adequate to drape the head of a fallen soldier, a lost friend of a goat upon their walls. It sits there, as solitary as an oyster - lifeless, it’s pearl stolen by the pirates this pub calls their landlord(s). Consequently, je suis très désappointé (meager peice of français pour tu, possibly once the sacrés tounge of the goat corpse that lie ahead of me). The juice I was served, ‘tis considerably aimable although could be mistaken for tropicana with ice (bits free of course i’m not a psychopath). In the past when I have been balked with bits floating around my juice, like a parasite in a pool bearing a flamingo floaty, I tend to share my bits with my goat, to quote the buddha “Give, even if you only have a little.” Yet, whence I came upon this place last week I would have abhorred to such behaviour as I was afraid my goat would not be able to eat whilst locking eyes with the soulless voids of its late friend, rest well soldier. However, the pizza was perfectly exquisite and the chips were amazing. 10/10 for anyone not entering with a goat by there side.

Definitely a dog friendly pub, restaurant food is good, staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend it.

Pizza brilliant as always. Staff friendly and great atmosphere

The best pizza I have ever tasted! Great service and friendly atmosphere and my husband loves the ales!

Absolutely fantastic food at this place the starters we had where so amazing o was tempted to order more and the pizzas where fantastic amazing flavour and perfectly cooked. Loads of options of pizza topping with a choice of build your own pizza at a good price to.

The pizza at the Greyhound is a must try for anyone who even vaguely likes pizza, amazing stuff. First time vising the establishment and not disappointed, will definitely come back here with family and friends in the future. I had 'The Texan' and it was a truly delightful experience, props to the chef! The pub itself is very 'olde worlde' and has a really nice atmosphere.

My wife and I travelled to Suffolk last month for the very first time. Our trip was off to a rocky start when our hotel informed us they were not serving food or opening their bar on the night of our arrival. We decided to walk down to The Greyhound to try their wood - fired Pizzas. We were welcomed by a charming young woman who regretfully informed us that her kitchen was also closed that evening. She gave us a menu for a local takeaway, sat us down in a cosy restaurant and poured our drinks. My wife went to get our food and the young landlady neatly laid our table and lit a candle for us. After our meal we moved into the bar area which was packed to the rafters with smiling faces. The young woman was clearly rushed off her feet but was smiling and laughing with her customers all night long. Our visit to the Greyhound was one of the highlights of our trip to Suffolk, the sense of community was heart-warming and we felt part of it although we were strangers.

It was lovely. Staff was very nice and the pizzas amazing as usual. The only thing they didn't have a drinks menu which makes decision making hard when you want to sit and discuss your choices with your mates and not feel like your taking up too much time if the lovely staff who have to stand there and wait as you're trying to decide what you want.

We moved to the area late last year and have since had many takeaway and eat in Pizzas. The quality of the woodfired pizza is fantastic and although I'm not particularly a pizza fan I just can't resist eating them; especially the quattro 4 cheese pizza. It's not just the food we love. The pub is so friendly and has an amazing atmosphere. The staff are extremely friendly and the owner, Chris even runs cycling evenings during the summer months on a Wednesday. These are great fun and then it's back to the pub for pizza and drinks. The Greyhound is a great village pub with great ales on tap. It's very clean and tastefully decorated and well worth a visit. Everything is very reasonably priced too.

Been popping in here for a few years now and the food and beer is always excellent! Absolutely love the place, it has a nice old fashioned homely feel to the bar side to have a beer or five Definitely try and book in on a Tuesday as they do a free margarita when you buy another pizza so it's the best day to give it a go!

Staff very welcoming. Food delicious.

Generally very good, not quite as down to earth as it's previous iteration but great food certainly.

Although lock down still on the staff still serving out side, good atmosphere and the Pizzas are to die for, cannot wait for them to open again. I am a new customer, by the way.

Fantastic Pizza's - especially on BOGOF tuesdays!

I've used the takeaway service twice since the start of the second lockdown. Ham and mushroom pizza both times. You will have to try really hard to find a better pizza in Italy. I'm now hooked, well done the Greyhound.

Excellent takeaway pizzas, nice atmosphere and good friendly service. Looking forward to eating in there.

Came in this evening for a family meal, the pizza at the Greyhound never disappoints as you can see by the photo and the service is always excellent! I’m sure we will be coming again soon 😊 🍕

So lucky to have this pub so near us. We tend to do takeaway pizza on a Tuesday as it’s two-for-one. They never disappoint and have such a huge range of toppings available. Their olives are the best. The chips are probably the best chips I’ve ever eaten, no idea what they do to them but they’re fab! Very covid secure too which is really important at the moment. Keep up the good work guys.

A lovely friendly welcome. We were so pleased, as a family, to get out for some lovely dinner and feeling safe while doing so with the measures they have in place during these odd times. We had the Halloumi fries and chilli jam to start and they were amazing. We all had lovely pizzas and shared some chips on the side. All really tasty and the service was great too. Will be returning very soon!!! Thanks so much x ...you are all doing an amazing job :0)

I would just like to highlight this local pub restaurant that has been forced into Covid measures and come out fighting. We visited tonight with our children, wearing face masks to enter. Greeted and shown to our table and explained the one way system. Their service was so friendly and welcoming we were made to feel completely at ease and enjoyed their superb pizzas (taking home what my children didn’t manage to finish....eyes bigger then and all that!). I urge anyone to support this amazing village pub and thank them for their adaption and ability to keep going.

I love the pizzas in the Greyhound and I've had many takeaways over the recent month with my partner. My orders usually come to around £30 for two pizzas and as soon as I'd reached 6 orders I was looking forward to 10% off. However this is not to be...only on orders over £50. I find this really mean as it only open to certain groups. Another issue I have is that I've ordered twice over the last 2 months and had my orders cancelled. The App need an update to only show availability for collection. One more gripe is that sometimes they don't cover all of the pizza and once they forgot to put olives on.

The food takes a little while to arrive, but the pizzas which are cooked in a genuine pizza oven are terrific.

This is our local pub and we were keen to get back for a visit after Lockdown. Feeling rather cautious and a little anxious after being shielded for five months I was not keen on the idea of being around lots of other people but we booked a table in the restaurant for a pizza dinner. I need not have been anxious at all, the pub have rearranged all the tables to make sure there is lots of space. Table service means you can stay seated and need not go near others. The bar has been rearranged to make sure they are covid secure and I felt very relaxed. As always a great pizza prepared and cooked by Chris and Jack then served with a smile by Hannah. This place is a a real gem and I am so happy they are back! Go with confidence and enjoy the best pizza we ever eat!

Been going to the Greyhound for years, but the first time I've tried the pizzas and was not disappointed! Usually a "make your own" pizza is disappointing, expensive and you're made to feel like an inconvenience. Not here, it was a great experience and very good value The beer is always excellent, local ale is fantasticI highly recommend eating here!

Amazing pizza! We always enjoy coming in to the pub and the takeaway pizza is delivered in no time! 🍕

The handmade pizzas here are fantastic as are the triple cooked chips. Jack and Hannah make you feel really welcome. Great place to eat and drink!

Delicious!!!! Great wood fired pizza, lots of variety and option to make your own. All fresh, high quality ingredients down to the great side salad and dressing and homemade coleslaw. Side order of chips really tasty, no frozen, pre-prepared stuff here!Staff really efficient, friendly and accommodating and they are dog friendly too!A great meal, good value for money and we even got to doggy bag what we couldn’t manage to eat tomorrow - we’ll definitely be back.

I’m from New York and this is legit the best pizza I’ve had in the UK

Amazing pizza and chips!These guys have been so consistent in the quality of their food. Must have had over 20 pizzas from these guys and we have never had a disappointing experience. Lovely place to eat in too!Been long overdue to write a review but finally got round to do it.Only thing i would like to see is some more interesting beers. Mostly lager and classic ales. No “craft” beer which i think is a must these days as it does give you the option to branch out and try something else.Thank you guys so much!

Fabulous pub!! Wonderful stone baked pizzas. Staff were super helpful and friendly, observing social distancing really well. Great gin selection.

Amazing wood fired pizzas. Lockdown takeaway orders via their own app. Friendly service. Great food

The Greyhound is such a lovely pub, staff great, food outstanding, warm and welcoming. Their homemade pizzas are just outstanding but then nothing beats fresh ingredients and homemade food. They love what they offer you and you can tell that by the quality of the product. Highly recommend this gem of a place. They also have a superb gin selection.. Their own elderflower is divine!

We would like to say a massive thank you to the Greyhound for giving us something to look forward to during lockdown, the Pizzas (and dough balls) are delicious and much better than what you get from a takeaway shop for such a reasonable price too. The have been the highlight of our day, probably too many times, during lockdown

Our local pub has been very sadly missed due to Covid 19. Chris has restarted his home made pizzas, fired in the pizza oven which has been lovingly built by himself. The Greyhound pizzas are simply the best, delicious and you can order on line, very easy to do, you can even build your own from the extensive menu. You are given a time for collection and they can deliver on Wednesdays. I placed an order, collected them at the alloted time and was not disappointed, they are delicious. We'll done Chris and team, great service as always and can't wait for the pub to open again. Arlene

As always the pizza was delicious so glad you are back can’t wait for the next one!!! It’s means I get a night off cooking woohoo!!

Great to have you guys cooking again loved our pizzas good job team, the online booking app worked well, see you soon

I hadn’t had the pizzas at the Greyhound before, but started ordering them when they set up a takeaway service during lockdown. They are the best pizzas around! Even my husband likes them and he doesn’t really like pizzas outside of Italy!We do the build your own, which do work out quite expensive for a family of four, but they are well worth it as it means we can all get a topping we really like. We ordered using the app for the first time yesterday and it worked like a dream. I was a bit disappointed that the latest collection time was 5.30pm but I got a phone call from Hannah offering a later time and she explained it was a slight glitch in the app. Service is always really friendly and the pizzas were ready and waiting on time. We will definitely be ordering again and once the pub re-opens we will definitely come down for

Thoroughly recommend the pizzas from The Greyhound. We recently ordered 2 via the new web ordering system. Very simple to use, can build your own pizzas to get exactly what you want. The pizzas are delicious. Cooked to perfection! Highly recommended 🌟

We have often enjoyed Chris’s amazing Pizzas and now they are offering deliveries makes it even better. I can’t recommend the pizzas enough they are the best homemade pizzas around. I highly recommend the pulled pork one.

i won 2 large pizzas from here during lockdown, ive just had them this evening and OH MY GOD they did not disapoint. ABSOLUTELY amazing, tasted so fresh, the chorizo chunks were to DIE for. i am beyond impressed with the service i recieved, i was kept in contact with throughout the lockdown and i will be ordering these pizzas again. We had a spicy and an Italiano and ive never tasted better. NOM NOM NOM!!! bloody lovely.

We ordered via the app with absolute no fuss, very easy to use. Then sat patiently waiting....hour passes (which they advised it would take up to an hour), then another half hour passes and I call the pub to see how they were getting on, told five minutes, 15 minutes more and they arrive. The delivery was great, social distancing observed. The pizzas were excellent, the best we have had in a very long time. The pizzas are excellently priced, great value for money, however thought the sides were a bit steep but delicious. Apart from the wait, amazing pizza, you won’t be disappointed.

Ordered via the Grayhound App. Arrived promptly and safely with social distancing respected. App very easy to use and understand. The pizza was something special! best Pizza around bar none. Will be our go to from now on.

Very easy to use app. Delicious pizza and great value. We miss the Pub during lockdown 🔒 but this makes up for it in a way! You cannot fault the food or service

Collected a delicious takeaway pizza last week . They now also offer a delivery service . You can order by app and will be given a time slot . Great to have something local doing this .

We ordered a pizza through the mobile app. Ordering was simple and the pizzas were amazing!! The best we've had in ages. Large pizza was more than enough for sharing. Plenty of toppings and super tasty!

This is our local pub and we love it. Friendly staff, great Pizza and a good selection of gins, including a house gin. Like all pubs the Greyhound had to close during the Covid -19 lockdown. But at the beginning of June they started a Pizza delivery and collection service via a phone app. We used it on the first night they were running this service and it worked a dream. We ordered the pizza we wanted, were able to leave a note about my fussy partners dislike of cheese and were given an estimated time for collection. Payment is taken via the app (you can save your card for future use) which means you don't have to wait to pay or handle cash. We then received a text to give us un updated (sooner time) which was great. Off we popped to the pub and the pizza was ready when we arrived. I would highly recommend the Greyhound Pizza's, they are truly (and I don't say this lightly) the best Pizza's. The app is a great new addition to their service. It was easy to use, and allows for all the options including gluten-free and vegan. What's more you can order sides and drinks to go with your pizza! Well done to the staff.

Ordered pizzas, through the mobile app. Absolutely fantastic easy to navigate around the app, finding menu and the variants on there. Was so easy to sign up and place order and pay. We also got a rough estimate of how long it would take to deliver and then a confirmation delivery time via email. All very prompt and well set out.When the food came it was hot, smelt amazing, and tasted even better. You didn't get the over greasy taste like you do most take away pizzas.. The ingredients were amazing there was so much flavour. I didn't feel all groggy after eating the pizza like I do other take aways. The young man who delivered the food was friendly and polite. All in all I will definitely order again through the app. And look forward to being able to physically visit in person. Thank you so much to all x

Absolutely amazing pizzas, best we’ve ever had. Fantastic, friendly staff, with a quirky bar and some great gins.....the pubs make several itself 😃 We go back again and again 😊

My wife and I moved to Botesdale 18 months ago. Whilst we were viewing houses in the area we checked out the local facilities, pubs, shops etc. As soon as we viewed our house and visited The Greyhound (and The Bell in Rickenhall obviously !) we realised we could stop looking. The staff are professional friendly and very helpful, the food menu is basic but the pizzas and steaks are to die for. Sunday lunchtime hot pulled pork rolls are added to the menu, these are a perfect antidote to the bleak spring weather ! Live bands perform in the bar most Friday nights to a packed crowd. We have been made very welcome by the regulars and now feel part of a thriving community. We cannot recommend the place enough.

This is such a hidden gem, the pizza is to die for. The selection of bins is awesome. And it appears to be super family friendly.

Love this place! Great ambience, pizzas are very tasty and made fresh in the clay pizza oven.you can pick just about any of topping you wish. Great for picky children. pool table at back and band on a friday, Entertainment for all!

If friends hadn't had told us about The Greyhound, we might never have discovered this brilliant pub. First and foremost it's a really wonderful pub - stylish, welcoming and cosy with great beers and a sensational gin selection. The team are lovely and they often have band nights on a Friday night with the most fantastic atmosphere. And then there's the food - the most fantastic handmade, wood-fired pizzas and lovely big juicy steaks - all cooked in the wood fired oven. The food is perfect and delicious - talk about knowing what you're good at and perfecting it! These guys make the perfect pizza! Everyone needs to visit!

We have eaten here before and I felt the service and pizzas were faultless. But, on this occasion the chef needed to be in second gear... We ordered and were told to expect a 20 minute wait as there had been a rush before us. This felt fair enough for a Saturday night. After 45 minutes of waiting I had a word. We were given an apology and the offer of more drinks, which we declined because we didn't want them, but there was no mention if these were to be on the house or not. We received our pizzas 55 minutes after ordering, with another apology. I understand that delays happen, but I feel this should have been managed differently. Either a barmaid (of which there seemed to be 3) could have been dispatched to assist in the kitchen where there was just one, very relaxed, chef. Or, a policy of after 25 minutes waiting the customer gets free drinks, after 45 minutes, a free pizza. There seemed to be no such plan.

Lovely pub, attentive staff & great pizzas

Nice pub with its own Pizza oven. Good quality food but pricy. Found the restaurand end of the bar quite noisy but will still go back.

Very pleasant - will visit again

Lively lovely atmosphere. A old traditional village pub with a wood fired pizza oven. Pizzas were excellent with the emphases on WERE!!. Staff are excellent. Prices are reasonable. What more can you want, apart from the same pizza that we used to regular have. What happened??? Wafer think base, over cooked topping. Once is an accident but twice!!! We haven’t been back to eat. I only write this in hope that the management will correct the apparent change.

Very friendly, highly recommend!

Really sound place,good atmosphere good cider good food ! What's not to like!!

Food was great staff were friendly and helpful

Good old fashioned busy village pub.

The place is a dog friendly they have a good range of pizzas to reside from

Absolutely cracking pub! The pizzas are the best I've ever had, and I think more people are realising that, so I would recommend booking if you want to guarantee a table! Especially on Tuesdays! Awesome staff and food! Try their own flavoured gin!

We haven't been to this pub before and unsure if we'd chosen well.

Great atmosphere. Great band playing. Floydy'n'Slips rock!

Friendly & great choice of beers

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere!
