Food average, service terrible. Mainly due to 1 waiter in particular who was just slapping plates down on the table wherever he felt like it for us to re-organise into the laid places, even if someone had told him it was their dish. When my main came out 30 minutes later than everyone else’s I had expected him to at least acknowledge it, especially as everyone else had finished, but no mention of the delay, let alone an apology. Considering we had to order in advance and there was only 1 other table dining, I don’t see how it could have taken so long. Won’t be going back again.

Decent Italian food. I’m honest with my reviews; it’s not fine dining, or the very best quality food, but you’ll get really decent tasty Italian pasta dishes when you can’t be bothered to cook, locally. So you can’t complain. Service is a little amateur, but the cooking is clearly decent. Busy little local pub with a side restaurant area serving Italian food and pub options.

We ate at the Italian greyhound on Friday, I have to say the service was really lovely when we arrived, they where fast and attentive. The food was alright, I must say the risotto that two of us had was under seasoned and pretty bland, i hardly ever add seasoning to dishes but did on this occasion. The starters and the mains where really lovely however, especially the creme brulee 🎊

Had a wonderful experience here today. I Chose the 2 courses for £16 we were seated in the window with a nice view of old great Glen. We both had the turkey crown, which was well portioned and really very tasty. For pud, I had the pistachio cheesecake, which was honestly out of this world. Great selection of drinks are available. There's a promising area being constructed out the back in the large carpark that looks to be a new outdoor dining area. Absolutely loved it there today and I'll be back to try the Italian menu, maybe one of the authentic pizzas. Thanks for the great service guys and keep it up.

I've heard good things about this pub in Great Glen, and it did not disappoint. Amazing service and very good food indeed. All items were cooked very well, including broccoli, which is always something that many restaurants do so badly. Lamb was the highlight, although the prawns in a spicy sauce with mascapone were a close second. Salmon and arancini were also well prepared. Thanks so much for a fantastic evening. This pun also does group bookings which I have heard work well.

Booked for lunch today. Didn't realise the pub had suffered bad flooding in last couple of days and wasn't actually open for service. We offered to go back another time but the chef insisted he would love to cook lunch for us. And so he did! Two fabulous pasta dishes followed. Great presentation, very tasty and piping hot. Very generous portions too. And the tiramisu was fabulous. Although we were the only diners the staff went out of their way to make us feel very welcome. A lovely lunch. Will certainly be going back again.

Great pub/restaurant that is guaranteed to exceed expectation. Was totally blown away by the menu and quality of food, I had the pollo speciale and garlic bread for starters which were both exceptional, especially the sauce that came with the chicken dish. For mains I had a 10oz sirloin steak that was honestly 10/10, dont let the price put you off as I would easily pay double for a steak that delicious. The decor was lovely, a blend of modern and traditional Italian style that transported me to Italy. The owner was very friendly and made my partner and I feel like we were regulars on our first visit, the same can be said about the management team who are all boasting charisma and personality whilst mainting professional service and standards. Overal an amazing experience that is highly recommended.

Went for Christmas dinner. The starter was really good, lobster raviolini but the appetiser (salmon/guacamole on circles of sliced write bread) and main (lamb with over boiled veg all drowned in thick packet gravy) were awful. Tiramisu dessert was average. Perhaps they were overwhelmed on Christmas day? The service was also poor with plates placed randomly on the table, and drinks orders taken after starters came out. It felt like they were annoyed to be serving us. A lot of money for what we got. Decent car park and donkeys in the field next to it.

Booked a table, waited for over one hour after ordering our food, one plate out of five was put on the table and then we were told that the rest of us would have to wait, we waited a further 20 minutes for the remaining dishes to be served. Quality of food was poor, over cooked vegetables, processed stuffing. Turkey was okay, but the pork was chewy. One of our party refused to eat the food as it was tasteless and only warm, and although the manager came and offered replacement food, that was refused on the basis of the quality of the first meal that they’ve been given. The manager agreed a refund for that meal The four meals that came out 20 minutes after the first meal had been served had clearly been put in the microwave oven as they were very hot indeed, if it did have any taste when it was cooked - that had certainly been nuked out of it in the microwave! In all honesty, we weren’t happy to pay for any of the meals, but we asked for the bill - the deduction that was promised was still on the bill, so we had to ask them to amend it. We had five drinks, four tasteless Sunday lunches, and it cost £70, we were all in agreement that we’d had far better meals for much less money

Felt that my food was expensive for what was served. £12.50 for a Burger you would expect something fairly exceptional however it was blackened and dry. My 3 year olds food was served on a scalding hot plate which I struggled to see the sense in. My partners Tiger Prawn Risotto was delicious though.

Unfortunately the two staff that served us were miserable. There was more food unavailable than available - apparently due to being in-between two menu's. The sweet potato fries were I would say old, double fried, and not very warm - of which were refunded on request as they were not eaten. The High chair was just so tatty- it didn't even have the correct fastenings and I had to tie a knot around my 18mth old daughters waist to fasten it- just buy new ones from Argos! Really disappointed.

Staff at check in were polite and friendly . The room was compact , dusty and in need of a good clean . Dirty cup with coffee in it and several ring marks , coffee machine but no pods , no teabags, fridge but no milk. there was a sign showing how to wash hands but no hand soap in the bathroom. Shower not filthy but not sparkling like a newly cleaned shower would be, however dried in urine stains and a pubic hair on underside of toilet seat . Bedding appeared clean but one of the twin beds was broken with a big dip in middle due to a damaged bed frame . Unfortunately this was not discovered until bed time as we had dropped bags and gone straight to the wedding. I Had requested a vegan breakfast which was confirmed by the venue at no additional cost. However on our return just before midnight two trays were found left on the floor outside our room door in communal corridor. Continental breakfasts of small croissant , yoghurt, cereal bar and small box of cereal with milk plus an orange juice . It was hot weather - milk in jars with tinfoil to cover left out in the heat- unsure how long it had been there. None of this was vegan so unable to eat it . No one at pub in the morning so had to walk to local co op for provisions to make a cup of tea. Booking said breakfast included- it is usually stated if only a continental breakfast so was already disappointing. On checkout no one at the pub and all doors still locked so had to push key through letterbox . No opportunity to voice any concerns . Would not recommend and not worth the money .

Having enjoyed the food, atmosphere and friendliness at this pub on numerous previous occasions, I will never return following our visit last week.The so called ‘manager’ seemed to be having some difficulties with the staff. He said they were all new, around 6 young people were serving behind the bar and taking food orders. However 4 experienced staff were sitting at the entrance indoors rolling cigarettes and observing the chaos.Despite restrictions still in place, only 1 staff member was wearing a face mask, no social distancing, the ‘manager’ who advised he’d been in the job for 3 weeks was very tactile with staff and customers, whilst nibbling on nuts while working.The food order was taken but the kitchen never received it, a staff member was sacked by the ‘manager’ in front of customers, who proceeded to argue in full view of everyone. A couple near us walked out when their food order was wrong.The ‘manager’ used the ‘f’ word several times when apologising to us, and when we walked out after 1 hour 15 minutes of waiting for our food, seemed only concerned that we wouldn’t give a poor review, and would we like to do shots at the bar instead!A shocking, upsetting experience which left us totally disappointed in what used to be a lovely village pub.

firstly when we arrived (which was 7:15) half of the staff had cigarettes and tabacco all of one of the tables. There was new people working, new waiters. so the manager said it would be a 20 minute wait. we said that was fine. we sat down ordered some drinks as well as ordering food however the women didn’t write down our order she said she would remember it. whilst we were waiting there was another couple across from us, the lady ordered gluten free food, it was not delivered so they left. we waited 30 minutes and still had no food so we ordered some more drinks, they didn’t come for 15 minutes so we went to check where they were, the manager said one of the drinks was disgusting so he would make us a different one. 50 minutes asked to check where are food is. the manager says the chefs never received the order. whilst we were waiting for almost an hour the manager had to fire two of the people who were working there. we could her the manager shouting and swearing. when we went to check on our food the manager was swearing at us, which is completely unprofessional. the manager said our food would only be 10 more minutes now after waiting for an hour. by 8:30 we left and the manager came after us saying our food is ready and we can have it now. we said no. he kept walking out with us saying that they delivered what they said (which was having the food ready within the 10 minutes). however by this point we didn’t want the food, we didn’t want to stay in that place any longer with the manager who was still swearing at us. finally when we got away he said f***ing s**g as we were walking out. It was very unprofessional and disgraceful behaviour from the staff and especially the manager.

The 3 stars awarded above do not take account of the difficult circumstances currently experienced by the service industry having to ,in many cases change operating systems and train new and perhaps inexperienced team members. Our party of 5 had booked an inside table for Sunday 30th May for a 6.30 supper but had been brought forward to 5.30 following a call from a member of staff. We enjoyed an outdoor pre-dinner drink in a well organised area with covered and uncovered seating and an outdoor bar but the small young team seemed a bit overworked trying to keep up with taking orders for drinks and food, delivering same, and clearing tables.We moved indoors at 5.30 to take our waiting table and found that 2 small parties were just finishing leaving us the only indoor occupants. By 5.40 our drinks order had been delivered and our first two food courses ordered. A small problem here as the nice young lady was unable to confirm the Sunday roasts availability. We had been warned during the phone conversation that there might be some shortage depending the afternoon consumption. We placed our orders on the basis that all was available. We were expecting a fairly smooth ride from here on as the flow of food to the outside seem to have slowed down. At approx 6.15 a young man appeared carrying 2 main courses. Whoops !.. He seemed unaware that we were expecting 5 starters. Not his fault I guess as he would only be doing as instructed at the pass. Just over 25 further minutes passed before the arrival, slightly sporadically, of the starters . These seemed a little ill prepared, perhaps understandably, and without any cutlery. These were generally felt to be potentially above average. The starters were consumed rapidly, plates collected and main courses 'on their way'. After close to another half an hour these duly arrived and once again with a hint of disappointment. The presentation was good but the food less so. The roasted veg was overcooked particularly thin slivers of carrot that had been over roasted and were charred on the curled up ends but then I think kept warm and allowed to go rubbery. The roast potatoes and the Yorkshire puddings were not crisp but decidedly hard. Most of these issues seemingly due to the effect of time on the food service that commenced some 7 hours earlier. We declined the opportunity to order a sweet despite our original intention to take all three courses plus coffee as the topic of conversation was becoming slightly negative.I would like to end on a positive note. I feel that a little more communication, training, and confidence invested in a young team trying to provide a satisfactory service would get the P and G back to its reputable best.

Booked A Sunday lunch slot for 6 based on the great experience I’d had here which I mentioned in my previous review.Starters were okay, not bad, nothing amazing. The garlic bread was lovely, but it should have been titled Parmesan bread rather than garlic as there was no smell or taste of garlic. Scotch egg was cooked to perfection, but the prawn cocktail was very small.The Sunday dinner trimmings were excellent but the beef was like shoe leather (overcooked).. Margarita pizza was very bland and the vegan pie looked like it had been cooked from frozen, not in house. Ribs and wings were pretty bland too sadly.We ordered drinks with our starter and they still hadn’t arrived after the starters had been cooked, delivered, eaten and taken away. It wasn’t busy from looking around.I mentioned the beef and the wait for drinks when paying and the lady apologised for the wait and started saying, sometimes with the beef, what happens is - and I just switched off. We ate it, we didn’t want a discount, it was a shame that’s all and our group will probably not return, which is a shame, as our last experience was wonderful.

Had a great meal with Rishi's tenner off. Starter of salt and pepper squid particularly recommended - it was generous and gorgeous. Had Caesar salad with chicken for my main course, I would have preferred shaved Parmesan to grated, and possibly a bit more Caesar dressing and croutons, however the chicken was lovely - warm and shredded rather than the huge fridge-cold chunks you often get. My friend had a duck spring roll starter and vegetarian tartlet which looked nice too.I was a bit surprised the staff weren’t wearing masks. Tables have been well spaced out.

We were looking for somewhere to eat, and came across the Pug. Initially didn’t think would get a table a sign saying you had to book. My wife entered and spoke to Eddie, who was extremely helpful and said we could eat at a table in the bar. My wife called me in the car to say table available. By the time I had unloaded my disabled mother from the car, Eddie had managed to find us a table in the restaurant. He took our drinks orders and left us with menus. Drinks arrived and a very pleasant young girl took our orders. The food was excellent and the service exemplary. Eddie even opened a fire door to make it quicker and easier for my Mum to get to the Car. I can not praise Eddie and the staff enough. We will definitely be back. At what is a particularly stressful time at present for our family on top of covid, it was very refreshing to receive such a warm welcome. Thank you The Maxfield family.. 5 stars

We went here for the 'eat out to help out' scheme on a Tuesday evening. From entering the pub the service wasn't great, no one really to great you, it was whoever was at the bar at the time. We booked outside dining, thinking it would be safer, but were told that there was no table service outside, so would have to come to the bar to order drinks and food. Being an old pub, there was very little room for social distancing at the bar, so be aware if you are booking here. The lady who served us drinks initially didn't apply the 50% discount on the soft drinks, which i didn't notice until it was too late. Then when i came back in to order our food, the different lady at the bar didn't realise there was a 2 for 1 offer on pizza's and forgot to apply the 50% discount also. I didn't hold much hope for the food, but was plesantly surprised. The pizzas in particular went down well. Service to the table was fine and the more senior lady who came to clear the table at the end was very friendly and helpful. So i think the junior staff probably need some more training in customer service. Overall, food was good, service was a bit suspect and Covid compliance could be done better. Would i return? probably not, will stick to the local country pub next time.

Need to sharpen up social distancing and enforcement of drinking at the bar, despite warning signage.

Service was ok, but the food was dire. Uninspiring Sunday lunch with vegetables that were microwaved and rubbery. My lentil burgers were dry and overall the experience was disappointing. We did get a free ice cream when we complained,but no other offers were made to compensate for what was a substandard meal. Wont be going again.

It was so disappointing to turn up on Tuesday to be told the fridges had broken down 10 mins earlier and the only food options were pizzas or Caesar salad. Obviously it couldn’t be helped, but we then had to wait 45 mins for our 3 pizzas to come out, despite being the first people to order food that evening. We will try again though as the menu is great and we’ve had super meals there before.

Had a lovely dinner at the Pug this week; so good to be back. I took my mum and two children. Mum is nervous about Covid but we felt totally secure with the plans put in place. Felt almost normal! Food was excellent and service attentive.

We had lunch here and ordered our mains which we ended up waiting just over an hour for. We were the only ones in restaurant section and maybe elsewhere was busy but a nice warning that the food will take a while or at least an apology the food took ages would've been nice because we worried our order had been forgotten about altogether! Then when the food did arrive one of the dishes was stone cold probably because itd been sitting there the whole time everyone else's was being prepared. Also no vegan pudding options. My pork belly was delicious though!

Stayed over for business purpose and I was amazed by the service received. The staff is absolutely amazing, caring and respecting the Covid-19 restrictions by the book making you feel comfortable and safe (even though I would still come without it). They are very professional, polite and fun - and it’s often unnoticed in the hospitality industry. Hats off to Lucy & the team, stay true to what matters guys! I will definitely come back, and spread the word around! The food is also great, just hit the spot! I never write reviews as I don’t value tripadvisor much, however I promised to one of the amazing team member (apologies for not remembering your name) that I would. So here is the French man honouring his words (for once )Keep my room number 7 for another visit in the next few week please :) Thank you guys, and keep up the good work, whether you are on the floor or in the kitchen you deserve a lot of credit!PS: the donkeys are lovely too in the backyard!

We chose the P & G by recommendation from the funeral director - We were not disappointed. We were a small party of 16 and we had lovely cakes, sandwiches and scones. In the uncertain times we are experiencing - indeed ours was one of the last events on the day of closure, the staff couldn't have been kinder and understanding, considering our family and its loss, over and above their situation. The standard was high, the service friendly and kind. Altogether a lovely experience, considering the circumstances. I hope and trust that the P&G rides out the current situation, as it would be awful to see such a lovely place go under.Thanks so much again to Sadie and her team for looking after us so well.Best wishesMaxine & Jim Dodd

Ate here with friends for the first time after being recommended by other friends. Bar was busy but plenty of staff - served almost as soon as we walked in! We were seated at the booked time and the restaurant staff were very friendly and attentive but not overbearing. Food was delicious - especially the pork belly (with the ribs and chicken wings a close second!). All in all a very enjoyable night and we would definitely return!

Went to Sunday lunch in this lovely establishment, given a warm welcome and the service was excellent. A good range and selection on the menu for typical Sunday fayre. Food was freshly cooked and the portion sizes were large. Very tasty and everyone was delighted with their choices. Main meat , beef , chicken, pork, with all the trimmings. Large Yorkshire puddings and plenty of slices of meat covered in a rich gravy. Reasonably priced and would definitely return again, when in the area.

The team at the Pug and Greyhound looked after us really well. They even phoned us in advance to let us know they'd run out of a few dishes. Service was lovely, warm and welcoming. And the food was delicious. I'll look forward to returning!

What a cracking find!Wonderful pub, with wonderful staff with an amazing lunch. I paid the additional £3 supplement for a trio of meats and I had to leave some pork on my plate as the portion size was very large.This was the best Sunday lunch I’ve been lucky enough to sample in a long time and we will be back to try their other food sometime very soon.

We came here on a bit of a whim as we were attending a funeral at Great Glen Crematorium which is about 3 minutes down the road. We arrived earlier than expected and were told as food wasn’t served until 12 pm we could sit by the fire and have a coffee. The atmosphere was fantastic. Someone loves this place and has taken the time to fit it out in a cute quirky style. We were seated and had ordered our food on the hour, which was served quickly and piping hot. The mains were sensational, we only wish we’d had time for a starter and dessert! The service was speedy and the staff were attentive and friendly. An all round enjoyable lunch.

Great place for a relaxed Sunday Lunch. Although I had to book an arrival time and finish time on the booking site there was no rush to finish when we were there. The staff were welcoming and attentive. My starter of lamb kofta was very tasty. I opted for roast chicken with all the trimmings for main which was equally tasty. The portions were very generous but the staff were happy to wrap up my left over chicken for me to take home for the dog. Our family group of 7 plus 2 friends all throughly enjoyed our visit. Thank you

Came for Sunday lunch with family. Waitresses good service but unfortunately Sunday roast very poor.Lamb bloody and undercooked, roast potatoes hard over seasoned with salt,few dried hard roast vegetables you could not recognise and majority veg was cabbage and dried out yorkshire pudding and presentation was dull dark unappetising.. Well over priced for not so good quality of food..

We stayed here for a night and also has dinner here. Overall we loved the place and all the staff were so nice. There was a deal for two pizzas, chip and a bottle of prosecco which was good value for money and it was all really tasty. Great atmosphere too. The rooms were nice and would recommend the place. They also had gluten free and vegan pizza, very accommodating.
