The Greyhound Inn in South Derbyshire

Put chillies on my pizza when I requested none (not because of an allergy issue thankfully) and the coke tasted like fizzy water. Otherwise OK.

Lovely carvery for me and my daughter this weekend, the staff were excellent.

I've been going here for years for a Carvery on a Sunday. It gets busy, but everything tastes great and is fresh.

Very very busy but expected for " mothers day " very helpful staff and glad we pre-booked the table . Great choice and wide menu to pick from ? If you have people who never know what to order " try them here " lol Try and book in advance , it's the best thing to do ! The carvery was unbelievable " the beef and Turkey were so moist " we had a standard plate and it was amazing with 6 different veg , roast potatoes , creamy mash , stuffing balls and big Yorkshire pudding ! Had a big family dinner there today and the place and staff was amazing 👏 great food ! Haven't been for a while but you still need to book to guarantee a table if there's more than four. Service was good and only ordered off the menu " still good food " friendly and helpful staff. Went again on a Wednesday evening but needed to book and the staff are still helpful and friendly , the food was good 👍

The waitress was very good, the food was average.

Plenty of parking. Warm, welcoming atmosphere. Very extensive menu to suit all tastes, (including an excellent carvery). Superb food and very reasonably priced. Just look at the online menu. Top class waitress service. Very friendly and helpful. Will definitely visit again. It is probably worth booking a table as the restaurant soon filled up and that was on a Wednesday lunchtime! Note, you can also get bar food.

Lovely place, gets very busy due to the food, drink and very friendly helpful staff.

Best carvery in the area in my opinion, great food from the menu too. Staff always extremely friendly and helpful every time I have been.

I've had varying experiences here, mostly good. Quality of the food is variable. Prices are good though. I like the pizza, Steak and ale pie, lasagne is also good. Some lovely Sundays for pudding. Lots of families eat here.

Very friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere food was lovely

By far the best pub in the Derby area. The pizza offerings were the genuine article, robust, plentiful and SUPER tasty. A buzzy neighborhood inn with plenty of parking, spaces to congregate and top fare on offer.

Excellent food, Excellent service can't fault it thank you.

Just popped in hoping to get a table on way home from ashby.. luckily managed to get a table straight away within minutes we had our drinks on the table , and our ticket for carvery. No queue as it was around 3pm . Food was great ,staff were great ,all busy doing something , a nice bye from the manager, really happy with our experience thanks to all greyhound team

Food is good ,and carvery is good if you get there early

Great place good food friendly staff and a good price

Great food and service, wasn't too busy when we were there which was nice. Need to go back out and try out some more of the menu and definitely the desserts as they looked very good!

Had a surprise Golden Anniversary party for my parents, and despite it being a last minute booking and on a saturday night at no doubt their busiest time, everything was absolutely perfect. The staff couldnt have been more helpful and friendly. The food was beautiful and every single person in the party of 16 said so. The atmosphere inside the pub was great and the service brilliant. Really cant thank the team enough, as it made the occassion really special, and everybody left with a huge smile on their face.

Great food and ale carvery excellent

Pleasant enough place to catch up with a friend

Not been here for about 18 month as it had seamed to have gone down. We had been out shopping so we decided to give it another try and glad we did. Everything about the visit was first rate, it was back to the Greyhound we used to enjoy. Well done, keep it up. because it was not as good as used to be.we had been shopping so decided to give

Food was delicious, customer service was excellent

Nipped in on the if chance for a table for 2. Warm welcome and not a problem was the answer. Super friendly staff and one of the nicest carvery we've had . Will return soon many thanks

Beautiful place, good was lovely and all the staff were lovely. Will deffo be visiting again.

To all the staff at the Greyhound Inn I would just like to say thankyou to all the staff for their efforts in making my partners birthday extra special. We all loved the food the effort that was made with the balloons and flowers I dropped off and the hand made dessert with happy birthday written on the plate. Your all Fantastic people at The Greyhound Inn we will see you again soon, Thanks again Daniel Williams

Went with my wife & a freind on Sunday 22/9/2024 had the best carvery ever 10 out 10 we live in stafford but when we visit her friend again we will use the greyhound every time

Lovely food and really friendly staff the lady serving the carvery was extremely helpful and friendly. All the staff were nice

Having been several times before, we were disappointed with our visit today. Table booked early but position was by the toilets. Chairs were wing armchairs, unsuitable for eating at the table. The waitress tried to find an alternative table or chairs but was unable to. The food was good but not special. As I had chosen here for my husband's birthday, I wished I had gone elsewhere.

They catered for a large group of 16 for the carvery. Very tasty. Space was a bit cramped... they could have arranged the tables better but this was a minor point. Staff helpful and friendly.

From going in and to leaving the staff were very helpful and really friendly and the food was really nice and a good selection of food as well most definitely be going back

*Tried carling and Madra lager and both flat Calamari came out seconds after ordering *and was over cooked and hard 😬 *Pizza was nice * bar staff had no clue when asked a simple question about chips varieties * £1 a game of pool……cloth ripped and cues badly broken Overall - management needs up address above issues asap

Staff were extremely helpful and polite, we had a lovely meal there with friends

Fantastic meal out, service was exceptional, staff very friendly. Food was amazing will definitely be visiting again. Highly recommend

My family and I have been eating at this restaurant since they opened. We have never been let down. The food is great, staff are friendly the whole place isn't only great for a date night it's also great for family get together.

Nice clean tidy pub ,lovely pizzas

Lovely pub, great friendly staff and a wide variety of food and drink. Will definitely be returning.

Had the best time celebrating my 60th birthday. A party of 12, we all received different meals at the same time. Everyone enjoyed what they had. The staff were attentive, friendly and accommodating. Thank you 😊

Outstanding. A chance find and it was excellent

Our first visit, carvery was very good will definitely return

Excellent pub, very clean and brilliant homely atmosphere, would go again.

Booked a table got confirmation plus 2 separate emails including on the day! Went to book in we waited and waited being looked at by at least 5 members of staff and no one acknowledged us to then be told we wasn’t booked in and told that if you book online phone the up also. Why have an online service if we have to phone as well very disappointed and the lady that finally spoke to us didn’t seem particularly bothered either. Thankfully the food was good

Very nice, food lovely and friendly staff, well worth a visit.

Greyhound yesterday excellent food and drinks

We live locally and visit the Greyhound very regularly. Always have amazing food and the staff are so welcoming and lovely. Definitely recommend.

Everything was perfect, the food was amazing, it's always a pleasure comeback there.

Deliciousas always. Friendly staff. Eye Candy at the bar serving us. What more can you ask for. ( He was gorgeous). I'm looking forward to next time. Thank you, as always.

Great food and attentive staff, we will visit again.

Great meal, very friendly staff, well priced

Took my sons here, we each had pizzas, they were fantastic. Thoroughly recommend.

Good selection of beers and ciders. Carvery is very good

The only let down was the yorkshire puddings, small and from frozen

This place is my ideal setup for food. Plenty of parking, lovely decor and the prices are pretty decent. Only negative for me was the large group of people smoking around the entrance. It's never nice having to walk through that. Note:. The beef bourguignon could have done with a few more dauphinoise potatoes :) Update: Hunters Chicken was nice too. Update (21/07/24): hmm Hunters Chicken is still very nice I'll have something different next time ;-)

Really nice establishment, just called in on a Monday lunch for refreshments and a bite to eat after a decent walk around, not too crowded but a fair few people in...well worth a visit if you're in the area...

Went to the greyhound today with quite a few people for a birthday meal, ordering at the bar was fine but food arriving was awful. People who had ordered off the general menu came but anyone who ordered pizza had to wait 20-30 mins for all the pizzas to come out. Everyone who had eaten normal food was finished before the pizzas arrived. Wasn’t asked if the food was okay either and very slow service after this of collecting plates

Went in to see breach band on Saturday night, brilliant.

A Marstons pub with a carvery that is popular locally. My biggest criticism is that everything in the bar is ‘pay as you go’, so I had to use my debit card 4 times which triggered a fraud alert from HSBC - silly really and something you’d never see abroad. Bog standard food. But 2 big rooms with plenty of space in the pub and a large carpark too.

Really good food from a varied and extensive menu. Not over-priced. Anywhere serving Stokes condiments knows what they're doing on food side, IMO. Large bar/restaurant areas and outside seating too. Lovely meal in the evening sun - with a miniature Steam Rally in the car park! :)

Excellent food and service dogs are welcome in the bar

The carvery is probably the best I've had in a long while, and weekends they sometimes have a live band in the bar,brilliant and friendly staff

Came with a large group and had a lovely evening. Service was great and food was delicious.

Arrived without booking. Staff great. Service excellent. Would definitely go again.

Staff are friendly, service is quick and the food is alright. It’s a typical pub restaurant. Good amount of space for large families.

Delicious dishes. Popular for British food

Ordered a chicken shawarma on a sourdough flatbread and what was given to me can only be described as disgusting. Cheap cuts of flavourless meat that seemed mostly skin and flat and grey in colour and served on what was not a homemade flatbread but obviously a shop bought naan bread. I physically could not eat the chicken. A member of our party when ordering a dessert was told part of the fruit needed to make it was mouldy so goodness knows the state of the kitchen. I will never eat here again.

-Myself and my family had a lovely, healthy lady who served us. It was lovely ,very helpful. We had a lovely time.

The team at the Greyhound allowed us to book a large group table for a celebration event as this is my grandparents favorite restaurant. They were very helpful and kind. The food was fresh and reasonably priced. We will go again.

Went on a Thursday afternoon,the food was nice and the service was excellent , I would certainly go again.

Tuesday evenings 2 pizzas £18. And they are excellent. Lovely gent (bar manager) took time to speak to us, as did the younger barman as we were leaving. Excellent place to dine, try the Red Stripe beer.

I went to the greyhound today with my 14yo and my husband. I called in advance to see if needed to book I was told that I did t as there were tables available. Upon arrival I was asked if I’d booked to which I reminded them of our recent conversation. We were escorted to a high table to eat and told to order at the bar. We were not given menus so we had to sneak a peek at a neighbouring tables but I was conscious that one of the party didn’t have a menu. My son chose a buttermilk burger, myself and my husband opted to have a carvery. The beef was in the carvers own words “like pulled beef” and we had beef crumbs instead of slices. My son’s food arrived promptly, before we returned to the table for the carvery. My son ate some of his chips first and did his best to eat the burger but it was swimming in a very spicy sauce, I tried it myself as did my husband who really does like spice and even he said it was unpalatable. I addressed this with the waitress who apologised and said they would remake it which I thought was great service. A few minutes later the manager came out and said that she couldn’t refund the burger (which we didn’t ask her to) and she was unwilling to remake it unless we paid for another! I was astounded by her attitude. She then went on to say that my son instead could have a children’s carvery! He is a 14yo boy and did not want a carvery, else I would have ordered him a(n adult) carvery. I was utterly lost for words. I then went back to the bar and asked to speak to the manager again. She still point blank refused to replace his burger. Or anything else other than a childrens carvery (which to be honest we left most of ours as it was very poor as well). Never have I received such poor hospitality, she said I was welcome to address it with the owners of No 12 in Ashby who own the establishment. When we left, as we were getting in our vehicle I heard the most obscene language coming from the manager and the chef talking about our party. Effing and blinding and asking if we were “still there” to which she replied we’d left. Never ever will I set foot into this place again. The manager (Sam) wants sacking and the chef needs to understand that sometimes less is more with his sauces!! Kids running all around the place as well!

On this occasion i didn't eat here, I was only there to socialise and watch a live band. On previous occasions the food was nice, so I've not added and stars for food. When there is a live band, the atmosphere is very good. The band that night was ' Murder of crows '. Who are a covers band, but hell, do they rock 🤟. The service was really good despite a small bar area, but with plenty of staff serving you never go dry. Plenty of parking to the rear. Wheelchair and pushchair accessible. Worth a visit

We hadn’t been here for about a year but heard the food was good We both had the carvery the meat was lovely but Women what happened to the vegetables? Parsnips were really dark brown and hard, carrots, peas and potatoes were ok Leaks were cooked in sauce ( not my choice) and the cabbage was cooked in wine and cream not my choice but my partner said they were ok. The Yorkshire were so hard I couldn’t cut it Not great and to top it the sauces at the end of the serving table weren’t labelled so what I thought was bread sauce to go with my turkey I loaded my plate with horseradish. It was so hot and ruined what I could have eaten Not a great experience

Great atmosphere. Good waiting staff. Starter was amazing but our main course was average. Not bad prices.

Went for food. Had great plate of Fish & Chips

This place has gone down hill recently. The quality of the food has declined and the service has gotten slower and less attentive. My partner ordered a burger without pineapple. It came with pineapple in it. We sent it back and all the kitchen did was pick the pineapple out and send the same food back, they couldn't be bothered to toast and dress a new bun. Luckily it's a preference not an allergy. It is not acceptable behaviour, you'll end up killing someone.

A very disappointing meal and a very disappointing response by the staff to my polite comments won't be back anytime soon

Absolutely 💯 food ,an service will definitely be going again 9

We love this pub! Never ever had a bad meal or service Lots of choice of food and drinks at really good prices

Went as a couple on the Tuesday pizza offer. Walked in and got a seat straight away. The service was good right the way through. The pizzas are large and very authentic and really tasty. There is a good variety, and you can have half and half. If you don't finish it they will box it up for you. Couldn't fault it. Two pizzas, two sides (chips and coleslaw), a large glass of wine and a coke for £33.

Excellent food, service a little slow and flat

Costs a bit more but what you get is truly amazing! 4 of us went and all 4 different meals all were beautiful. Lovely definitely worth a trip out

Absolutely fantastic!! Staff food and service was excellent would recommend this place 👌

Great food, great service, staff wonderful

Been a regular customer for years now but last night was poor from a trusted go to pub. Food was pre ordered still came out at different times ,carvery was barely warm food missing from the order not impressed for a birthday meal

We had never been here before but after a couple of recommendations we decided to book a table here for my daughters 16th birthday, the table was booked for nineteen of us.From the polite and helpful young man who we 1st booked with on the phone to our lovely warm welcome arriving this evening the atmosphere was so inviting and relaxing, start to finish the service was spot on.We had a variety of foods as there was few of us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choice. The food, cocktails and desserts were delicious.Thank you to the team at the greyhound for making our experience so enjoyable, you guys work so hard and we appreciate you and for sure we will definitely be back.

Atmosphere good, Staff very nice, Carvery was ok but not as good as Toby Carvery or my home cooking.

Nice friendly staff and atmosphere.

Food was great. Quick service. All staff very nice. Surroundings are good. Noise from the pool table. Not sure if that fits in the eating area.

Fantastic service , quality food and very affordable

Went on 21st March with 7 adults and 2 children, the food was excellent, and the staff was very welcoming, pleasant and polite and friendly. Highly recommend.

Attended a funeral, staff very respectful and helpful. Food really good. Thank you.

Went to the Greyhound today for Sunday carvery, We were greeted by a friendly member of staff at the door and showed us to our table. We chose carvery and the queue was small, Food was fantastic and the staff so attentive. Atmosphere was lovely and I will 100% be going back.

It was ok sausage a bit pink . just normal average pub food and service

One of mine and my families favourite places. Amazing food and really lovely staff. Dogs welcome in the bar.

Nice pizza- popped in to grab a couple of pizzas and some chips. Only took 15 minutes for pick up and tasted nice. Very large pizza!

On whole good first experience but couple of little niggles: - only one of us had starter but they didn't check that his cutlery was replaced when serving main course - glass collector tried to take glass with half drink still in it They need table numbers as all food has to be ordered at the bar Also I booked a table on afternoon of same day but wasn't told we be in bar area rather than restaurant area. Think it should be mentioned when you book as very loud band on so we left early Will visit again but wouldn't return if end up in bar area again

Celebrated Birthday Party, Recommend this place highly,,,

Can’t yet comment on the food but won’t be long as it looks lovely. Saturday night bands are great here though!

Had a family meal here for a large party was really impressed with the service food and whole experience .

Wanted to try here for a while. Very popular at Sunday Lunch sitting. Extensive menu choice. We both went for carvery- good portions, plenty of veg etc. Daughters gammon was good, but I changed at last moment to beef, which was a bit dry. Very good value Nice deserts too, friendly staff. Will be returning.

Great meal and thanks again to the staff for finding 2 places for my brother and sister in law at last minute really made our night

First visit and we wonder why it has taken us so long to find this most excellent, welcoming pub with such delicious food which we most certainly will revisit in the near future.qq
