The Greyhound Inn in South Lakeland

Well what a gem of a place this turned out to be. Short trip to this amazing area and happened to stay just over the road. The food is amazing....try the pies and the roast if you get a chance. The staff are so laid back...I love it. The night before I was in a busy London pub...horrid with no personal service or personality. This is so quaint it just makes you feel at home.

Lovely home made food, friendly staff

We had a stay local to this pub , but this is a real gem. We had Friday night meal absolutely excellent. Then again Sunday dinner ( roast ) , we will be back for sure . Food brilliant But the pub is one of the friendliest we've been to by far in a while. Support this pub it deserves it

We were staying down the road for the weekend and came in for a drink on the Saturday then Sunday lunch the following day and were SO glad we did. We arrived on the Sunday and our table was laid out with candles and high chairs ready for the kids. We had a mixture of roasts and pie and chips and everyone said how amazing their food was. The ham was so tasty and my family said the beef was too, and my brother in law couldn't stop going on about how good the chips were. Not only was the food delicious but the service was great. The young lad that works there (sorry didn't catch his name) is a credit to the place and you could tell he really cared about his job and the pub. He talked my husband through the whole menu on the Saturday and couldn't do enough for us when we had lunch on the Sunday. It was really reasonably priced too and we were so glad we booked in. It's a traditional, old style pub and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it if you're in the area, but definitely make sure you eat there!

Fabulous food, beautiful location. Friendly staff. And dog friendly. Perfect 😁

Absolutely wonderful inn with astounding genuine hospitality. An absolute pleasure..

We just had the Sunday roast and the chicken pie. Lovely homemade cooking. Will be back for sure

Having driven a good few miles chanced upon the Greyhound and will be returning if passing that way. Friendly service and locals Great beer although a little dated with the interior decor and fantastic food. I went for the gamon chips egg and pens while my partner had Cumberland sausage. let's just say this Proper home made chips. As much as either of us could eat and sensibly priced too at about £14 each plus drinks

Excellent service and good food 👌

Decided to pop into the greyhound for a drink as our holiday let was nearby and we were driving past. Pub looked quite inviting and had a carpark that was handy. It was strangely quiet in the beer garden considering it was a lovely summer evening. Also pretty quiet inside with a few locals chatting amongst each other and to the barman who was telling everyone about his “new £17 an hour job” he was about to get. Presumably that was the reason the bar area was a little unclean (sticky floors and tables, dog hair and a little musty where we sat) We had our drinks and moved on. Quaint little village pub, but could go with a clean and some atmosphere

Went in for some food as nothing else around was open or serving food. Odd considering high tourist season? Anyway, usual fare, local pub for local people (think, league of gentlemen) with a few of the local wildlife scattered around the bar area. Decent beer, no ice for soft drinks (which were poured from flat plastic bottles). Actually nice food, but the place feels dirty, and algae filled pond thing in the beer garden (which the owner forbids anyone to touch and scares small children if they do?) is just naff.

Good food and good ale. Proper pub.

Everything about this pub is fantastic. I have eaten here quite a lot and I can say that there is no bad meal. Tasty Homemade Pies, Amazing salt and pepper chicken, Best burger around, Awesome chicken burgers, Absolutely fantastic gammon. The chips are out of this world. Homemade chips which are thick and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes are really good and the price of a meal is affordable and great value. The pub has plenty of character, and all the locals are friendly. The owners Sam and Steve are brilliant and nothing is too much trouble. The bar staff are a credit to the pub. Good choice of beers and not overpriced. Outstanding pub set in a beautiful part of Cumbria.

The food was super nice and the staff great! We went twice whilst staying in the West Lakes. The home made pies are bursting with filling and flavour and the home made chunky chips are to die for. Portion size is very generous and the whole tail scampi is on your plate in abundance!

Absolutely amazing 10/10 service by all staff!! We booked late night by phone in an emergency and kitchen was closed however they offered to wait for us to arrive and make us food. Room was spotless and well presented. Perfect romantic getaway and easy parking, helpful staff and warm welcome. In the morning, had a delicious breakfast and a friendly chat with one of the waitresses. Will definitely be returning on our next trip! Would recommend to everyone :)

Booked for food. Nice pub, good atmosphere. Great log fire. Good choice of beers. Food fairly standard but very nice. Pies reputedly awesome, but didn't try these. Service quite relaxed timewise.

Just been for our first Sunday roast and was not disappointed, I treated my elderly mother, to start we had soda water and cordial which where nice, cheep and cold, we both picked the roast beef, after a wait of around 25 minutes our dinner where served, I had 6 small thickish pieces of medium well roast beef on mine and mother had 2 large pieces, there was 4 different kind of potatoes, Dauphinoise, Hasselback, Roast & Mash, a big homemade Yorkshire pudding, red cabbage, French beans, cauliflower, Peas and Carrots as well as nice thick gravy and it was lovely, the beef was perfectly cooked, best Sunday lunch I have eaten in a long time, mother loved hers as well, for 2 lunches and 3 pints soda water I paid £23.80, you can't complain at that price specially in this day and age, Highly Recommended, We have been back several times now

Beautiful little pub, extremely pleasant staff and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend

Good food and good size portions.

Looked on internet said it was open at 12 MD on Fridays. Went all the way from Barrow and it was shut

The Inn is very tired and needs a revamp. Seating in the bar area was stained and looked dirty. You could still smell a Tabaco smell in the place. Very little atmosphere to the place Food was very basic mainly consisted of chips with other offerings. Very basic salads also provided. The place could do with freshening up and a lick of paint

Fantastic chips, nice locals pup.

Stopped by with friends for an evening meal. midweek No complaints,Nice choice on menu ie pub classics,l. Whilst prices weren't cheap considered them reasonable. Definitely will visit again

Great food, dog friendly, value for money and good staff. We’ve ate here twice and never been disappointed. Definitely recommended.

Popped in just by chance as we were passing. We had Sunday lunch and it was great. A plate full of beautifully cooked food at very reasonable prices. I would highly recommend this. The staff were also very friendly.

This is my go-to place for a Sunday roast for about 1.5 years now - never disappoints! The best roast around!

Visited the greyhound on 22 Feb 2o23 4 adults 1 child the steak pie was full off tender meat the burger was huge so was the gammon I had the scampi as I wanted a light meal but I had 12 /15 pieces of scampi was unable to eat any chips were going back tonight the staff were very friendly a great pub

Heard so much about the pies,I had the chicken my husband had the beef both full of meat we had chips and veg all hot the only thing we had to ask for was some extra gravy which came within a few minutes .Can be busy so I would book .

We visited one Sunday 2nd October the staff were lovely couldn't do enough for us and the food was delicious I had the steak and ale pie and it was amazing the best I've ever had we live at Warrington and will be coming again just to go for a meal there,would highly recommend coming here you would be daft not to! 😁

We called in here after a day walking on scafell, feeling tired and hungry. We were meet with a warm welcome by the friendly staff and a comfortable pub. The food was amazing,all proper homemade and delicious, just what we needed. Well worth a visit if you are near and in need of a good meal or pint. Extremely dog friendly too, a really bonus.

Lovely sunday evening meal, had the special, salt & pepper chicken, very nice. Toilets have been refurbished to a high standard.

Ordered chicken ham leak pie. 2 tiny pieces of ham, no leaks. Veg cold, gravy warm. The staff member delivered our meals then went for the cutlery, we did wait a while for those. Would I recommend no. We were on holiday and got recommended this pub. Don't no why. Service awful along with the meals. So glad am not a local.

Was staying in Grizebeck for the May Day Bank Holiday weekend, called in on the off chance Saturday tea time and even though they were fully booked up for the evening, they managed to fit us in without a problem. We booked in for Sunday lunch the following day on both occasions the food was of a high standard, plentiful and the chips are to die for. The staff are very friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommend and we will visit again 😋😋

Have visited the Greyhound quite a few times, always a warm welcome and great food. Both Sunday lunch and the normal menu are excellent and not inflated prices like many of the pubs in the Lake District.

Made to feel very welcome , enjoyed a lovely meal

Beautiful Sunday lamb roast with all the trimmings and for £9.99 - wow! Excellent value for the quality. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere. We will be back.

We tried this pub for the first time today, I fancied a roast and my husband suggested we go the the greyhound. Lovely traditional pub with friendly staff. Their food was lovely, we had pre ordered the roast beef dinner so we could guarantee getting what we wanted. The roast dinner came with roast potatoes, green beans, cauliflower, mash potatoes,cabbage and a Yorkshire pudding. It also came with gravy and extra gravy on the side. Fabulous food, couldn’t fault it at all.

Thanks to the great reviews we tried here and were not disappointed. We both had the steak pies and they are amazing and we have eaten lots of pies over the years. Full pastry not just a puff pastry topping and loads of tender meat. The chips and 3 veg set it off well. The 2 lads behind the bar were chatty and welcoming. Dog allowed too. We will be back. The old Rosie on tap also helped to a great evening 😁

We drove for miles around our holiday let trying to find somewhere to eat. The pubs all looked horrible &/or uninviting and/or didn’t do food, last stop the Greyhound Inn or we were going back and eating eggs & toast.. What a bloody gem. Beautiful inviting pub from the outside, wonderful welcome inside, including dogs & doggie biscuits, lovely staff. 2 fab meals on 2 consecutive nights, sunday night busy, Monday night empty, same quality & timescale. could not be happier with this place. Oh, and the bar counter itself is a masterpiece. Absolutely recommend.

From the moment we phoned and asked if they could do vegan and a vegetarian roast they were so helpful.. they went above and beyond... even offering a meat alternative to the vegan one as well (with vegan quorn) the food was so well cooked, tasty and they were generous portions... the staff were friendly too and the atmosphere in the pub was so relaxed... we travelled all the way from near Luton to see the wonderful sights here in this area... and this hospitality made it all the nicer... compliments to chef.. was lovely to have proper roast potatoes too .. we highly recommend this place 👍🏼

Stopped on our way to Millom for lunch having been recommended, lovely quaint pub, comfortable surroundings. Very clean, toilets immaculate. Food was lovely freshly cooked and very well presented, staff service excellent polite and friendly, nothing seemed too much trouble. Four of us dined each having different meals and not one of us had a negative comment, the chicken salad was awesome probably one of the best, so tasty and fresh. Dog friendly to.

My two sons and I visited for Friday lunch . We used to have a caravan nearby many years ago . The pub looks the same in many respects so some good memories revisited . Major improvement is the washrooms , very modern and clean now . Good draught lager and the bloke who served was friendly . We had the three different pies with chips and veg . Genuinely home made and large and excellent . The steak and the chicken pies were full of meat and the cheese pie was very cheesy indeed . It was good to go back and we will return , perhaps to stay overnight .

Lovely traditional pub serving very tasty home cooked food. The staff werehelpful. We booked for a party of 8 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their experience. There is also a carpark across the road. Would highly recommend.

Called for supper after a long walk. Really friendly staff that made you feel very welcome. Love cosy , dog friendly traditional pub. The food was really good everything was nice and fresh and lovely quality. Will be certainly visiting again.

Excellent. Lovely homely feel. Great food. Excellent. Value for money. Really friendly atmosphere and really helpful staff xxx couldn't fault it.

Brilliant Brilliant and brilliant. Fantastic experience

Kleine Speisekarte mit Standardgerichten. Gut zubereitet und sehr freundlich serviert. Sehr schmackhaft. Die Home Made Chips sind klasse. Regionales Dunkelbier kann man gut trinken. Irischer Cider ist zu empfehlen mit 4,5 %.

Lovely staff, great food, sweet little spot. Halloumi and chips was great, they knocked up a round of shots for us, and recommended a great biking trail for the next day. Had a great time, would highly recommend.

Fuimos en familia de 8, entre 1 y 53 años. Comenzó bien, pero fue cuesta abajo después de eso. Al pub le vendría bien una mejora importante. También nos tomó 2 horas y media completar nuestro entrante y platos principales y hubo más de una hora entre el entrante y el plato principal que nos trajeron. Para agregar a esto, cuando llegó la silla alta, tuvimos que limpiarla ya que estaba muy sucia.

Food was amazing, halloumi and chips was fantastic as was the Cumberland ring sausage and the gammon was perfect. Great friendly local ambiance with friendly and helpful staff. Would highly recommend.

I don't often leave positive reviews because I'm so often left feeling underwhelmed after a hotel stay, but this place is one of the most cozy and welcoming places I have ever had the good fortune to visit. Grizebeck is BEAUTIFUL (as is the whole of the lake district) and the folks at the Greyhound Inn make you feel like part of the family. The food is incredible too, from the perfectly-cooked bacon at breakfast to the HUGE fillet of fish with the fish and chips. I will be visiting here again asap, probably within a couple of months.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.

We visited this local pub twice during our 4 night stay in a rented accommodation in the same village.The staff were very friendly and the food portions were enormous. Both times I was determined to have a pudding but I was defeated by the main course. The homemade pies are absolutely heavenly and stuffed full. I would definitely return here if we were in the local area.My son loved playing pool whilst waiting on the food to arrive.My only comment would be that they need to correct the spelling on their coffee menu

A lovely family atmosphere. Dog friendly, and the food arrived quickly. Homemade pie and chips tasted great and the beer was nice too! We will be back! Staff were really friendly.

4 de nosotros fuimos a almorzar el domingo. Todos pedimos algo diferente y cada comida estaba caliente y sabrosa.El pub estaba cerrado durante una semana por vacaciones del personal, por lo que el menú era un poco limitado, pero lo que pedimos fue bueno.La única decepción fue que no había budín de caramelo pegajoso.El personal era encantador, agradable y servicial.

excellent pub grub served in a friendly atmosphere. The beers are well kept and have an excellent selection of, not only ales but cider and lager.

When we got to the pub we were made to feel unwelcome by the 2 members of staff, they looked dissatisfied to see a group of 10 people walk through the doors. We waited for 1 hour for the food to finally arrive which I thought was too long as the pub was fairly dead. When the food finally arrived, I took a bite out of the burger and it was like rubber the meat was chewy, cheap takeaway burger - wouldn’t even feed it to a dog. Overall a disappointing experience and a waste of my £14.

Lovely food, situated in a quaint village. Great atmosphere

Excellent food and beer and catered for my gluten free partner at very short notice Ken and Lynn Kirk

El compañero tenía las gambas, todo bien. Pedí la pila de hamburguesas de 2 x 4 oz, no la mejor hamburguesa que he probado pero está bien.Ninguno de los dos realmente busca las papas fritas, "corte a mano", básicamente traduciéndose como "mahoosivo", por lo que básicamente obtienes una papa con los trozos redondos cortados. Si te gusta, estás de enhorabuena, si no tienes un plato principal sin acompañamiento.

Family weekend away for my sisters 40th!! We were staying nearby, within walking distance of The Greyhoumd Inn! Ate here a couple of times, food was delicious! Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Thank you! Would definitely recommend! 👍 Dogs also welcome! 😃

El Greyhound es un costo perfecto para equilibrar todo terreno con calidad y amabilidad. El lugar es acogedor y acogedor. Había toneladas para que hicieran los niños y montones de juegos de mesa y mesa de billar, dardos. Tenían 2 cervezas bien cuidadas y bien recibidas, buenos vinos, y la comida era muy buena, sana y sabrosa comida de pub. Al igual que con otras reseñas, los pasteles son para morirse, pero pueden agotarse, pero no se preocupe, todo lo demás en el menú también fue genial. Después de nuestra primera visita al galgo cuando me hospedaba localmente, estaba molesto porque había estado comprando comida antes de llegar; de lo contrario, habría comido en el galgo todas las noches de nuestra estadía en Grizebeck.

Stayed the weekend in Grizebeck and visited the Greyhound both evenings. Meal on the first night was tasty and substantial, ale was very drinkable. And very dog friendly 🙂 All in all we’d recommend.

Stayed at a nearby cottage for the weekend, and had such a nice meal on Friday evening that we returned again on Sunday. Homecooked food, served hot and well presented. The chicken and ham pie was delicious. Friendly service and the dogs were welcome. .

It's a proper pub, aren't many left! Food is AMAZING, loved it, if could give 6 stars I would.

This place is what you'd want out of a village country pub not overly in your face but a clean basic place that warm with its wood burner. Pool table tucked away out of site of the main part of the pub but still inclusive.

Lamentablemente sólo una noche aquí. Parada de una noche rápida pero muy bienvenido. Casual y amigable con alojamiento cálido, cómodo y excelente comida. Recomendaría el halloumi maltratado si está en el tablero de especiales. Después de una abundante cena, la dueña me preparó amablemente un desayuno para adelgazar del mundo a la mañana siguiente. Nada es demasiado problema. Quédate aquí y evita las costosas trampas para turistas en las ciudades más conocidas, no te arrepentirás.

Esperaba solo un pub básico con comida bastante normal, pero me sorprendió gratamente la calidad de la comida y el servicio muy agradable que recibimos en las dos visitas que hicimos al Greyhound Inn durante el Año Nuevo. El pub en sí es bastante básico por dentro, pero se encontró un toque agradable en los baños con artículos de tocador de cortesía. En nuestra visita tenían tres Reales en oferta, todas con una calidad decente. Tienen un consejo especial y todas las comidas tienen un precio razonable. Comí pastel de pollo la primera noche y un bistec de la tabla de especialidades la segunda noche. Ambas comidas muy sabrosas y porciones decentes también. Siempre y cuando no espere algo grandioso en su interior, encontrará un personal muy agradable y servicial y una deliciosa comida regada con excelentes cervezas. También atienden muy bien a cualquier celíaco.

Party of 7, good food choices, well cooked, reasonable prices! Nice range of starters and main courses. I had fish and chips, good portion!

Nice friendly place and good food.

Me alojé en The Greyhound para un encuentro anual con Friends.

Tenía que ser Steak y Ale Pie con Chips para los dos y no nos decepcionó.

Stayed here for 2 nights with 2 other friends for a walking weekend! Such a lovely cosy pub and B&B.; The owners were so friendly and accommodating and nothing was too much trouble! Food and atmosphere were lovely! Would defo stay here again!

Well what’s there to say about pub grub? Well it can be good or bad! A test for me is the steak pie, and this was excellent! A proper pie! Packed with good quality beef, fresh veg too & wonderful chunky crispy chips. It’s a winner & well done! Of course washed down by some wonderful ale!

We had a fantastic meal of fine rump steak served with sweet potato fries and side salad.

Lovely local who are always welcoming to the children and dog. Great food and crack

Très gentil accueil, on s’est précipité pour monter ma valise à la chambre…

Birthday Party of 11 staying in a cottage nearby, went for a lunchtime drink then booked a meal for later in the evening.

Stayed there for 6 nights and ate every single night in the pub.

A really nice pub well worth a visit

Booked for an early evening meal.We placed our order,it was a long time coming and when it did it had been served on cold plates !! When we were served we were asked if we would like gravey?Yes.Why weren't we asked when we ordered.We were left sitting with our food going cold

Wonderful stay, friendly staff and locals, clean, good sized room, comfortable bed,shower room as expected for an ensuite, excellent evening meal and breakfast, only negative the large car park is across the road.

I can’f fault this place, the staff are so friendly and accomodating; the locals who drink in here make it a lovely warm and familiar atmosphere every time you walk through the door; the food is great, the chefs are brilliant, I would especially recommend their homemade pies :) The rooms here are cosy, nicely decorated and cleaned to a very high standard. I would love to stay here again.

I used to live in Grizebeck and The Greyhound was my local. Great food, beer and service. A few times I was travelling back from Hull and a quick phone call and they kept the kitchen open to serve me food. Nothing was a problem and everyone was great, I hope to be coming back for a short break and will definitely use The Greyhound.

From reading the reviews for the Greyhound Inn, we were looking forward to a nice stay.

Stayed here for 2 nights last week as we were climbing Scafell Pike. It is a bit of a drive away but The Greyhound Inn came highly recommended and we are so glad we drove the extra mile to stay here.

Popped in for a meal as we were staying at a cottage nearby. Ordered the goats cheese salad and it was quite honestly the best salad I have EVER had. To top it all they served Whitley Neil Blood Orange Gin ... couldn't fault It!

Great food, warm atmosphere. The food delivered on time and was very good. There was a great deal of choice on the menu and all was cooked as you wait.

Stayed here for week while working locally.

We called in for a bar snack and it was brilliant

Came with 10 friends for tea and the food was really good. Service was quick and the staff were friendly.

Device was great, we ordered starters and they where amazing, same with the mains and desserts! A must if you like pub food!!

This is local to our holiday home, and aren't we lucky! We had heard that there had been a change in management so had to check up that all was still OK - and it is! Sam and Stephen were there before as part of the previous team and the chef has stayed on with most of the staff so the same friendly faces were there. BUT

We spent a night at this pub and had a very enjoyable stay . Our room was excellent and the...

After a long drive and settled into my room went down for dinner. Plenty of choices but chose the fish...

Enjoyed my stay, clean and comfy. Good food and the staff are friendly. Not too expensive.

Four of us visited for sunday lunch recently, Pub is under new management , very friendly staff and nice surroundings....

The lady painting the porch was a life saver. Our car had broken down nearby and she allowed me in...

Very friendly pub, dog friendly and great pub grub. Large carpark across the road. Beer garden at the front.
