The Greyhound Inn in Charnwood - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely setting, great service and food was amazing. Fresh, tasty, well presented and good options on menu. Staff couldn’t do enough for us, making sure table was clear and brought drinks, checked if we needed anything, very attentive. Clean, tables set well, nice decor. Genuinely good food and good service. Might not be the biggest place but really a hidden gem . Not had a such a good meal out in a long time. Really trumps some of the other local places. Good atmosphere. Not over priced. Definitely recommend.

Top class food, all made from scratch. Highly recommended. Great ale too

Great food, didn't try the rooms

Friendly welcoming staff, who served up delicious and beautifully presented food

A reat gastro pub in a beautiful setting wiht great staff and a high quality menu. Becasue of that it is not the most wallet friendly pub but still good value for money.

Great pub with excellent guest information booklet and staff who go out of their way to help. Breakfast is a lovely spread of continental food (pastries, cheese, ham etc.) together with different cooked choices. If you can eat all this the follow up is toast with home made jams. Rooms are a bit warm but well laid out with a good ensuite shower room. The only downside is the lack of phone network but to be honest if you are staying here for R&R this shouldn't be an issue as the WiFi connection is very good. Highly recommended.

Another great experience tonight. My wife and I had dinner with another couple. Nice food, nice beer. Great service from the staff. Hard to pick fault with anything. Will definitely be back.

A gem of place to stay and eat in North Wessex AONB. Excellent service, food and choice of wines. Highly recommended

Lovely clean elegant pub with outstanding food at great prices. Micheline star, and not smelly like a lot of others. We can’t have enough of it. It also has outdoor space for those lovely summer days. I highly recommend it.

We stayed in The Greyhound Inn for our overnight stay during multiday hike of The Ridgeway National trail. The inn is comfortably located about 2km from The Ridgeway which made it ideally located for us (be prepared for steep climb back to The Ridgeway). The inn itself is really charming building with pub restaurant section on the ground floor and multiple accommodation rooms upstairs. We heard no noise from restaurant part. Room, dinner, breakfast and service were all amazing. As bonus it is very hikers friendly inn. If needed they are able to provide a lot of info about walks around. One can even pre-order cold packed lunch for hike. I would definitely stay in this place again if on holiday nearby again.

Great service, very yummy food and super dog friendly. Thanks for a lovely Saturday lunch

Super evening meal, well kept beer, good breakfast and super friendly service.

Food was ok. there are better places to eat

Wonderful food and service. This place excels at everything that it does and is a real find. Located in a beautiful village with amazing countryside on the doorstep, it is convenient for Oxford, Blenheim Palace or just exploring the local area. Will definitely be returning.

Really lovely pub with a great atmosphere and a warm welcome. Have eaten here twice now and the food is lovely. very reasonably priced too. Service is fast and all staff really friendly. Would definitely recommend

Fantastic Sunday lunch, everything was so fresh and tasted amazing. Mandy had the Chicken and I had the Pork, plenty of fresh veg served separate which is how we like it. Service with a smile from all staff. The place is very cosy too.

Went to the Greyhound with the family on Friday night - quality food and a lovely atmosphere. The staff are all very friendly, with the log burner blazing this a a proper local pub and restaurant - highly recommended!

Had the most delicious Sunday Lunch at The Greyhound yesterday. A choice of Beef, Pork or Lamb and between us we had all of them! The meat was lovely and tender and beef served rare. Lovely selection of vegetables, crispy roasties and plenty of gravy (we even had extra!) followed by a couple of delicious desserts that we managed to squeeze in. Even though the pub is small (but beautiful) and with covid restrictions in place it all felt very clean and safe and the staff are great. A lovely couple of hours spent on a Sunday afternoon and we went home happy and (very) full. Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant Friday night Tapas! Delicious baked Camembert followed by a tapas selection was a perfect end to the week. Food and service was excellent, well worth a visit.

I would like to thank Hannah and the team for a fantastic evening in the beach hut ... we chose a bespoke themed night and went for the chinese option ... it was by far the best chinese we have ever had ... lots of different dishes and great value for money. A lovely touch on the personalised menu wishing us a "Happy anniversary". Staff and service was spot on 10/10

First visited a couple of weekends ago for food and drinks, it was so good we've been back twice since! Fantastic tapas menu, all food we've had has been such high quality and great value for money. Can't recommend highly enough, really friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere.

My visit to the Greyhound in Botcheston was my first dining experience since lockdown and what a great night it turned out to be . The pub is clearly abiding to the Covid19 rules but working hard to keep a relaxed atmosphere. The menu choices are vast and plentiful - something to suit all tastes whether that be pub classics to stonebaked pizza from the new oven, or Tapas to share - we had a good mixture and can firmly say it all tasted delicious . The monkfish Thai green curry was out of this world! Homemade naan bread to boot. A great choice of wines and the pomegranate gin is definitely one to tingle the taste buds. If you have a small group who want their own space - the beach hut outside is a delight , very pretty and benefits from outdoor heaters. Albeit we didn’t book this , it has been very popular. Lovely service was the cherry on the cake....A fab time was had by all and we look forward to visiting again soon.

Just had a takeaway Sunday roast dinner which was fabulous followed by Apple crumble and custard!!!Well done to the team and let’s all try and support local businesses through these trying times.

Excellent lunch for a couple of families. Impromptu arrangement after visiting a local attraction. Great real ale and generous food. Highly recommended.

Visited for the first time early on a Friday evening with my two daughters and sister. We all had different dishes consisting of steak,salmon,hunters chicken and the mixed bean chill. All of the food was freshly cooked and tasted fantastic. The puddings were great too. Hannah was very friendly and helpful both on the phone when booking and in person. We will definitely be back soon, I think it will be our new local.

Visited durinh half term week. Hannah fitted the 10 if us in at short notice. Ages ranging from 7-84. Incredible food. Lovely atmosphere and fantastic service. We all left feeling like we had an excellent home cooked meal, fabulous portions, beautiful presentation and really great value for money.Thank you very much Hannah and team.

Great beer, great food, great staff. Always a friendly welcome, steak is especially good! And the beer is on point!

Thanks to Hannah and team for a fabulous lunch yesterday. We visited as a group of 4 adults and 6 children aged 7-13. Most of us ordered from the light bites menu and some enjoyed the specials, particularly the sticky ribs which my daughter, a rib connoiseur!, rated as 'really really really good'. The desserts were excellent too. Everything was well cooked, beautifully presented and delicious. The service was brilliant - friendly and attentive. Our meal was amazing value for money at 9.95 for two courses. Other establishments in the area need to take note!

Popped in for a lunch with my other half and my daughter. Warmly greeted and nothing seemed too much trouble by the waitress. Presented with a decent menu, loads to choose from.Food was fab: hot, fresh salad garnish. Enjoyed by all.Sadly the power went out before we (I) had chance to order a pudding or I would totally sampled that!!Will definitely be visiting again!

Was really impressed when we had a meal at the Greyhound a few months ago. Went back, menu had changed - very limited and uninspiring vegetarian options compared to last time we visited. I’m really disappointed as I had felt so lucky having somewhere I could eat on the doorstep! But we will have to go elsewhere for food and hope the menu is reviewed again soon. However, there is a nice bar area and friendly staff!

We attended for lunch today and were welcomed by a lovely young barmaid...the bar is stunning.....we had a dink each, a starter and a main meal....the food was outstanding!..very generous portions cooked to perfection...hot and tasty...a very talented chef indeed....the building is outstanding and welcoming...we will definitely be visiting quite often now.

Amazing food and service, the presentation was what you would expect of a top restaurant, the atmosphere was friendly and the log fire kept us cosy we were a group our 15 both adults and children and all food arrived at the same time piping hot, the biggest challenge was trying to get the kids to come in and eat it as they were having so much fun on the park in the pub garden, and to top it off the puddings were the best I’ve probably had, thank you very much the greyhound we will all be back soon

Sunday lunch was disappointing for us all. Beef was sliced too thick and didn’t have much taste! cauliflower, parsnip, and green beans were all undercooked and hard.

Visited the greyhound on Monday night and had a warm welcome .

Lovely food and staff, beautiful pub. Will be returning thankyou for making us feel welcome and your food is top notch!

Yet another fantastic meal at the Greyhound last week, from the service, drinks & the food all was brilliant & very enjoyable.

Had a great Sunday lunch, well presented and very nicely cooked. Nothing to be negative about. Very nice hospitality and overall an enjoyable visit.

Thanks again for getting us in at short notice. Like the new menu however would like to see some of the old favourites back. Sharing platters are great, the steak was superb and especially the home made chips. Love this pub! Always a warm welcome, from great staff. Beer is great!

Well we have visited a few times since it changed hands and had various experiences from OK to fantastic which has included food served cold! Imagine my disappointment tonight to find the menu changed again so no lasagne for me tonight and thats after having to fight off the hundreds of wasps in the garden. So I decided to have the pub curry which was fantastic last time I had it. Well I said pub curry it was all bowl and no curry, very little chicken, thimble full of rice a bit of pepper and gravy, and thats about it, certainly not as I remember. I asked for more rice and curry. Wasn't impressed when I was asked to pay for 2 meals. Not impressed chef! And thats after hearing you slag off a food intolerant person in the bar! So I said no I won't be paying for an extra meal and won't be paying for the one served either as it wasn't a meal. My kids ate off the kids menu and had a better portion. Very mediocre experience. Won't be back. Looks like it's gone downhill already!

Went ate at The Greyhound 3 years ago and it was not a great experience so we haven’t been back since.

I contacted this pub to book A table for 2 for Sunday Lunch, not a problem and a really lovely response.

Fantastic night at The Greyhound.The food was amazing lots of dishes plus the Sangria.The staff are lovely and the new owners are doing a brilliant job.

Just went for few drinks with friends. Beautifully done out. Spent lots of time there before we moved away 11 years ago. Place totally changed. Wish it hadn’t been raining so we could have appreciated the outside area which is lovely. Gin bar amazing beer selection great cheese chips a good snack. Hopefully back in Leicester soon to have a meal there. Well done the new owners you have made a special pub even more amazing. Good luck for the future

decided to try after not going for many years as went down hill heard under new ownership , really glad we did , amazing food. Monk fish and prawn tai green curry was lovely best we've had and we have had a few full of flavour . Atmosphere was great was too busy but enough , nice evening so had few drinks in the beer garden first . We will be definitely back .

Homely village pub/restaurant. Welcoming staff. Excellent menu choice with mid week fixed price deal. Our food quality was very good. Doubt if will be in area again but if do so would not hesitate to re-visit,

First visit for Saturday afternoon lunch. Very nice decor! Felt very homely and friendly. Food was lovely, I had ham egg and chips and the ham was very nice and thick.Staff were very helpful and friendly can’t wait to return to try the evening menu

We use to visit The Greyhound regular a few years ago and we were in the area so we called in.

Visited Greyhound last night for food. The meal was absolutely beautiful, we both had fish and chips the batter was very light and the fish was beautiful. Total value for money would certainly eat there again. A pleasant place we are always made welcome and will most certainly eat there again.

Visited at lunchtime for a quick snack, had a great time. Service was warm and friendly, garden was a great place to sit, and the food was lovely. We all enjoyed our visit and I'm sure we will come back again.

Recommended this place to a friend so we dropped in for dinner on a Tuesday evening as she had not been. Great to see the place busy and with a great buzz early in the week. Menu has been added to with more great choices and now there is a fixed price menu on a Tues and Weds evening, two courses with a drink for £14.95 - great value. As the choice was so vaired on the fixed price menu we opted for this. I had lasagne which was fabulous with lovely fresh salad and really lovely ciabatta garlic bread. It really was a great lasagne. My firend had the cajun chicken which was great also, again with chips and salad. We both had pud which again were great and a good choice. In all a great evening, in a great little, cosy pub with friendly staff and top service. Why we go back and so good to see this place back on top. Keep up the hard work.

Just called in for just some - 4 of us - sun was shining so sat outside - lovely sun deck with new tables and chairs - also a lawned area and a play area for kids. Staff really friendly and accommodated a couple of tweaks to meals no problem! I had a warm bacon mushroom and feta salad which was delicious - hubby and son had the ham egg and chips - the ham was really tasty - carved off the bone - sons girlfriend had a tuna baguette. All meals hot and tasty. Cracking atmosphere So will definitely be back

It’s been a while since we visited here and the place has changed quite a lot, for the better too.

We went for Mothers Days Sunday Lunch - the food was really lovely with a great selection of vegetables. Service was very good as it was busy & we were not rushed or ignored. Lovely touch to give the mums a primrose as we left. Would definitely visit again for Sunday lunch.

Atmosphere is good and really nice friendly pub/restaurant. Food was mainly good, just one poor choice {know better next time we go}. Just one small criticism, we felt the lighting was a bit bright and needed toning down a bit.

Once again, the Greyhound has new owners. They have repainted, yet it still retains its character. Four of us met up for a weekday lunch. In the old days we used to eat here a lot - sadly I don’t think we will be eating here a lot now. Not because of the cooking ( it was very good), presentation (excellent), service ( brilliant), it is because the weekday lunch menu is extremely limited so it only suits a one-off outing. They do a lunchtime special deal, two courses for £9.99 or three for £12.99. But there was so little choice, for example only two puddings ( syrup sponge or ice cream). We looked at the a la carte, but again that was very limited and sadly no weekday roasts or things like fish pie.

We visited yesterday with my elderly grandparents and my 4 month son. The pub has been renovated and looks really lovely, fresh and clean. The service was incredible; from the moment I walked in I started causing chaos and the lady behind the bar (I’m sorry I don’t know your name!) could not have done more to help! She was friendly and helpful throughout the service and nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious. My grandparents especially loved it! The menu is not huge but has enough choice to suit everyone. I will definitely be recommending to friends and hope to return again soon.

Met a friend for her birthday last night and once again had the most enjoyable evening here. The friendly welcome stood out again and the service was exceptional, both behind the bar and the lovely lady serving the meals, she is so friendly. Nice menu, not massive but good choice and nice selection of specials too, good choice of pubs (although we didn't try them as we are being boringly good) and good coffee. Such a cosy, clean, comfy pub with great food and great staff... the log burner was blazing, the food what hot, well cooked and plentiful so not sure what else you could want from a night out at a local pub. Really great to see the place back at its best. Planning another meal with a group of other friends very soon and there is no doubt we will book here. Thanks again and see you soon.

Called in to this great village pub and had a Fantastic Sunday dinner, was so good, Food all fresh and Staff was Awesome, Recommend all day long , 👍👍

Just spent a very enjoyable evening here and have to say the food was really good. Had the scampi which was she best I have had for a very long time. Chips were superb. My friend had the burger and all the trimmings and both meals really were excellent, hot and plentiful. What also stood out was the really friendly welcome from the staff. Seemed genuinely interested in their customers and not just the locals. Will certainly go baco and looking forward to it. We didn't order puds but the menu looked good and the coffee was also very good indeed. Thanks for a fab evening. Nice to see the place being well supported, nice atmosphere.

My wife and I called in for a lunchtime meal.What a great visit it was. The new owners have tastefully decorated the pub and made it homely and comfortable. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. What a gem this place is.

Well worth the wait for this pub to gain its reputation again for good food and good beer

Have been for lunch and dinner here and they were both great. Small menu but something for everyone and the children’s menu is fab.

Popped in here for lunch during a walk. We have been trying this place over the years and it has always been a disappointment. Now revamped with lovely, helpful staff and a simple but adequate menu. The bar is dog friendly. We will definitely be back. Please add egg mayonnaise sandwiches to your menu. : )

loved this place...so couldn't wait to try again...total disappointment , so bland, lost olde world pub charm....asked for menu on arrival felt like i was on set on Walking Dead .....

Fine. Still open from Tuesday to Sunday But I understand the pub is up for sale. I do hope it continues to be a pub as far too many in this area have closed.

Superb lunch of salmon and new potatoes with a citrus sauce. Beautifully cooked and tasted superb. We had profiteroles to follow and then coffee and mints. I think was a faultless meal and I'd recommend this pub to anyone.

Well it was disappointing apart from the soup which was nice.The hunters chicken was well over cooked very dry.The place was dead.

I went here for my Birthday last week after visiting previously at the end of December...The food is amazing especially the pies. The atmosphere is so relaxed and the staff are such friendly people nothing too much trouble.

Visited for Sunday lunch. Charming village pub with pleasant staff. The Sunday Roast was just like mother use to make, lovely selection of veg with tasty gravy. Good puds to follow. Will return.

I visited the Greyhound with my wife for dinner last night. We both had starters prawn cocktail and garlic mushrooms which were very nice. We ordered the pies off the specials board for our mains I had the 1lb steak and Stilton pie, my wife ordered the 1/2 lb steak and ale pie which came with the choice of chips or mash and peas or mushy peas. We both had chips with peas and mushy peas the pies were very nice and full of steak filling, we managed to save some room for pudding I had sticky toffee pudding my wife had the apple crumble which was big enough for the two of us. The meals were very nice and very well presented. The menu is not massive but the choice was very good, The landlord and his wife have only taken over the pub recently and are building the trade up. The service was very good and I will be looking to return to try some of the other pies like lamb and mint and ham and leek. The pub is doing some specials for Saturday night 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £30. If you fancy a nice pub meal with some nice beer and wine this is a good place to visit.

What a lovely country pub & Resturant. ( open fire) fantastic owners extremely welcoming.. they want you to be happy . They want you to be relaxed. The food .. right let’s pick a set of metaphors. Lovely. Gorgeous. Fantastic. Normal... good prices.. not too expensive. Not too cheap.. the locals arrived in the pub at 10 pm... the owners never met us before but we felt so welcome.. this is a venue we have visited over many many years & we have seen many owners come & go.. but these current owners will defiantly be seeing us probably once a month.. it is going to be a winter venue. Summer walking venue & a Sunday lunch venue....

Popped in for a quick lunch time drink and was pleasantly surprised. There was a lovely atmosphere with an open fire very clean and homely

Called in today - group of 8 of us, cycling. Log fire, and a warm welcome also from the landlord. Food was excellent, I had the parsnip and apple soup, definitely homemade, good size portion at a great price. Others had a variety of other menu items and all cleared their plates. Nice place, will stop by again

After a walk around Thornton reservoir it was lovely to be welcomed by an open fire a cheerful landlord and lovely hot home cooked food at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be back again soon. Thank you Tom for a lovely warm welcome and good service.

At last we have a team in place of our local who know what the job demands .

Tuvimos una comida realmente deliciosa domingo aquí la semana pasada. Éramos un grupo de 9 adultos. La comida estaba bien preparada y presentada con una gran selección de verduras que estaban perfectamente cocinada. La carne asada y cerdo era tierno con buen tamaño de las porciones y el mejor Yorkshire pudines que hemos tenido durante mucho tiempo

El pub ha sido tomada en los últimos meses y tengo que decir que una enorme mejora. He comido en el restaurante, pero tiende a ser un habitual en la noche del viernes para llegar ya que el viernes fizz una botella de Prosecco por £10. 95 x un gran ambiente y un personal amable. Lo recomiendo altamente.

Un grupo de nosotros fuimos el curry noche que era una excelente comida bien presentada, muy sabrosa y que todos disfrutamos. Sin duda volveremos para probar los pasteles de probablemente la próxima. Chap sirve en el bar muy agradable y un crédito para el establecimiento.

Cenamos aquí un sábado por la noche con algunos amigos. La comida era muy buena y casera, pero el menú era muy limitado. Está bien si quieres tarta pero no. Afortunadamente mi esposo no y tenía una torta de carne que estaba lleno de carne y la pastelería era casero. Tuve el pastel de pescado, que era preciosa. Menú hubiera sido mejor si hubiera pescado fresco (no sólo pescado y patatas fritas) o pechuga de pollo, etc. El budín de pan y manteca y crema pastelera era delicioso e incluso trajo más jarra de natillas. Sin duda volvería.

Han estado usando este pub durante unos años y he visto muchos terratenientes y administradores de socorro vienen y van, que no ha hecho ningún favor a la reputación de los pubs.

Después de visitar el reino unido por una semana y en un número de lugares que estaba comenzando a neumáticos de comida preparada y ni de lejos tan buena como si hubiera cocinado en casa.

Our visit to the Greyhound Inn, Botcheston on Good Friday was a lovely surprise. We called in for a light lunch and we were delighted to be welcomed by Tom, the most hospitable bar manager. My husband and son chose their beers- no complaints and ordered another, our wines were good. The menu is a mainly British menu, beautiful unusual pies, fish and chips, specialist sausages, steaks, popular Pub dishes with a twist using high quality ingredients. We did not try the staters or the desserts as we wanted a lunch that was not too heavy. The fish and chips are beautiful, lovely white fish in a light flavoursome batter case. A perfect size. The men chose the specialist sausages served on a home made mash, tasty gravy and caramelised onions. We will go back, I personally feel they need a tiny bit of a bar area albeit small where we were sitting. It's a lovely Inn, you must go and visit, the food is lovely, well priced and decent portions. We will go back. For the Full Sunday Monty very soon

Took my parents and for a late mothers day and early birthday treat together with our 2 "kids" of uni and college age for Sunday lunch. All of us loved it. The food was fantastic with good size portions and great tasting - even impressed my parents who are used to fine dining! And although very busy at the time we went, the staff coped admirably and were very friendly and attentive. Would not hesitate to go again, indeed we have booked with both sets of parents for graduation day.

Absolutely awful meal!!Went for a mothers day meal with parents. Food cold..staff rude..vegetables soggy and probably leftovers.carpet could have done with a good vaccum.should have realised how bad it was going to be from the state of the toilets..woyld never recommend!

We rang to book a table on Thursday 23rd March for Saturday 26th March 17 and was told that a table was available for 8pm. We arrived on Saturday to an empty pub and to be greeted with the young bar man saying the Chef had only just come out of hospital and that they were not serving food, and as they had not taken our number they could not cancel the booking. We found this very odd as the pub was advertising on face book that they were ready for Mothers Day booking's the following day. It was also odd that there was a board outside the pub advertising for a Chef and bar staff even though there was not a single person in the pub. We were then left to find a restaurant at 8pm to accommodate us. We were reluctantly offered a free bottle of wine if we went the following week. . I would advise that if you do book to go to this 'restaurant' ring again and check that they will be serving food when you get there.

Great Sunday Lunch. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food could not be better.Highly recommend this venue. you will not be disapointed. My wife and my friends can't wait to return. many thanks guys.

All is superb - meal was glorious and far too filling but so flavoursome and individually prepared for us. Sadly few in but food and drinks were superb - with beers served perfectly. We shall certainly return.

My son took me here as a treat and with him being a student and not having much money, to be honest, I wasnt expecting much. I was so wrong. The carvery is every inch as good as anywhere that you'd pay more and the service was excellent. I went a second time to see if it was as I remembered and it definitely was. The second time, I was with a group of 20. Some ordered from the menu and some had carvery. The staff made sure that everyone was served together and no one was sat waiting for food. The one child in our group was treated lovely and made to feel important. Can't wait to go again.

Nice roaring fire in this quintessential village pub , excellent food given with a smile and good food choice range at a good price . Very cosy armosphere and there is a nice room at the back for small private functions . Support your local Pub

Our first visit since new management and we were presently surprised, very friendly nothing to much trouble . I ordered a steak and it was cooked to perfection and the presentation was great , my husband had the gammon and looked amazing . We are definitely going back and already booked to go again . Please try and make your own mind up . It's a lovely place and worth a visit.

We visited this pub as part of a 'pub walk' in the lovely Wolds area of Leicestershire. We checked the pub website carefully to make sure that it would be open and serving lunch on Friday 134th January 2017 - it said it would. After a great walk around Burton and Walton on the Wolds countryside we returned to pub at 1:30 p.m. to find it closed. We went to another pub in a nearby village and had a great lunch with superb service. We hear that English pubs are closing down daily - no wonder if they can't be bothered to open! You could do much better than this Greyhound. At the very least post accurate opening times on your website.

On the evidence of last night's visit, its really sad to see that the Greyhound has definitely gone downhill from the many brilliant visits myself, family and friends have had previously there over the years. Prices have gone up, but the choice on the menu has reduced, as has the quality and quantity of the food. Too many dishes tonight (starters and mains) were simply not available! Pies were odd pastry-wise and dry, and it didn't have the impressive hearty feel that it used to have. Also very disappointed to be told that the interesting-looking oriental chicken starter I wanted wasn't available, leaving choices as a soup, a cheese salad or a prawn cocktail! And also disappointed that one of our meals had had garlic bread replaced with chips, with no warning whatsoever, despite it being advertised.I hope it improves and it must improve on the next visit, because it used to be about the best pub meal out you could have! Back to basics guys!Instead of advertising and rattling on about an award-winning chef, think about what made the experience in there great before - the food was brilliant before and there was a good choice!

My partner and I had a fabulous meal tonight with a couple of friends. The Greyhound at Botecheston is a very cosy welcoming pub / restaurant with a real fireplace burning on a chilly night.There was plenty of choice on the menu. For our starters we shared a stuffed camerbert loaf, topped with pigs in blankets - tasty and different. With our main courses we ordered side dishes of potatoes and veg - there was way too much. Unfortunately we did not have any room left for desserts (which I was looking forward to trying).We will definitely return again soon. Positives - clean and cosy atmosphere, outstanding food and plenty, attentive friendly staff, and great choice of wines.Negatives - watch your head on the low beams - they're a bit of a headache!!!!!

We were a party of seven visiting for a birthday celebration. The Sunday menu was some what limited; choice of beef, lamb, chicken, seabass or cheese and leek souffle. The group opted for beef, chicken and lamb. Each dish was served with a selection of veg brought out in serving dishes (carrots, red cabbage, broccoli, mash potato, cauliflower cheese). Positives; cauliflower cheese, roast potatoes and carrots were all very nice. Negatives; beef was very tough and almost impossible to cut. The mash potato was stodgy instead of light and fluffy, broccoli was on the hard side for our liking and the Yorkshire puddings were not fresh (most likely cooked yesterday) and served lukewarm.The pudding menu only consisted of three choices; profiteroles, bread and butter pudding or ice cream. The bread and butter pudding contained peanuts which was not mentioned on the menu and is a legal requirement for allergy sufferers. The combination of nuts, currants and black treacle did not work. The profiteroles were not home-made and served with a bland runny chocolate sauce. We were very disappointed with the overall experience and made the manager aware prior to paying the bill. He did say other people had complained about the beef and two other parties complained whilst we were there (there was only three tables booked!). The manager knocked 10% off the bill which was unsatisfactory, but we did not take this any further as we did not want to cause any fuss. Based on this experience we are unlikely to return in the future.

Sunday Lunch: 30 October: mains, say 7.5 out of 10, desserts 10 and service and atmosphere 10. Looked after 2.5 year old brilliantly. £14.95 for 2 courses: definitely worth it.Light lunch: 4 November: everything a 10:- steak pie, filled hot baguette and cod goujons; smashing lunch all round.

This once lovely village pub has had it, some times it is open and other times it is shut up at 6pm in the evening.Where is the person running it ??? It is now dirty and dowdy and will take someone special to put it back to its original standard. The two lads who tried and would have succeeded have moved on.The Brewery have let down Botcheston and all the regulars.

Booked a table of 18 on a Sunday lunch for my 21st birthday party. Chose this restaurant as always great food, friendly staff, lovely environment and good price. I'm sorry to say but I was really disappointed with this place, it's gone really downhill. Firstly- seated, lovely table in middle of restaurant.. Got some drinks and chatted while looking at the menu. Decided on pate and a carvery. Bought the starters out and two young girls were serving. No emotion on their face whatsoever. They dropped a prawn cocktail all over one of the party..and this could of been rectified with an apology and a manager come over but no the girls just laughed it off and smirked said sorry but not sincere. Fresh starter came out but didn't look like the first one. Starter ok. time for main, most of us were having carvery but 3 people were having others. We confirmed with waitress it was time to queue for carvery so in time the meals would be there so we could all eat together. We all sat down with our carvery but no sign of other meals. They came out 10 minutes later..one of the salads was incorrect..how long does a salad take to make hmmm???? One meal forgotten had to remind waitress three times. Finally came out. Processo was served to us. Lovely brand.. Carvery okay.. Normally lovely but not up to usual standard. Parsnips inedible!! Cauliflower grey.. All finished mains and waited ages and ages to be cleared. Waitresses were walking around could see we needed clearing but of course that seemed too much work to do.. 2 waitresses wiping one table right next to us.. Hello were we invisible??? Sat a good 20 minutes with dirty plates. One waitress, older, brown hair, came out of the kitchen eating something and walked around slowly and slumply.. I got the impression everyone else was running around and she had it easy .... Had hot drinks.. The only decent thing about the experience. Great vintage set and served on a board. But cold tea.. Well luke warm just about drinkable. Really unhappy :-( I will come back to give it another chance.. Maybe not on a Sunday though ? Come on greyhound, go back to your usual standards!!!!

We visited this pub about 10 days ago gorge a drink there were a number of people having good and everyone seemed happy. We LSD step in grid pub about a year ago, and had what I would call a very poor meal. We booked a table for Last night and had a really good pub meal, the two lads who served and cooked were really attentive we fresh cooked vegetarian meals very tasty, nice pint of beer, the cost was right for the meal.We will go back as we are aware New people are taking it over the staff presently there are only temporary but have made a good job of pulling back the reputation the pub had .

Went for lunch yesterday. Cosy country pub, nice atmosphere. The food was excellent. All cooked while we waited and NOT all microwaved! The part owner, James is very attentive and looked after us very well. Would certainly recommend and will definitely be paying another visit.

Enjoyed the 2 for 1 meals one lunchtime - all home cooked and very fresh. Great service and great beer. Will be back soon. Oh yes and all important, dogs ARE allowed!!
