Three Greyhounds in Cheshire East

Excellent menu choice, food was top quality and staff lovely. Dogs positively encouraged. Will definitely be returning.

We met there yesterday for a family birthday celebration and the service and food were exceptional - nothing could be faulted - it was an amazing lunch - well done to the team at the greyhounds restaurant

Stopped off here for a bit of food on the way home. Passed by this place many times and always wondered. Firstly the pub itself is lovely, very cosy and the most authentic feeling decent pub I've been to locally for a while. Spot on. The food was also pretty decent. The burger was just shy of £15 with chips. The patty was a, little bland and a touch on the dry side. Certainly not great, but also on par with more expensive offerings from other local pubs in the area. The other elements were good though and the bun was tidy and not soggy, which makes a nice change. The chips were good and the relish, served in a ramekin, was smoky and well balanced. Overall then I feel it was good for the money. This, combined with the cosy 'proper pub' ambience was a win for me. If they could get a bit more quality on that patty it would have been solid full marks at the current price point.

Disappointing Sunday lunch today.was so good on last visit but today beef overcooked and roast potatoes tasted like they’d been heated up. Deserts good and atmosphere great….. it sure what went wrong in kitchen……..

We ordered two children's sausage and mash, roast beef dinner, katsu curry, mushroom and halloumi burger. Service first of all is great. The place and setting is lovely. There was mould up the corner of the wall where we were sat I'm sure this would be quick to repair. But I certainly wouldn't sit paying customers there to eat. Food was poor. Really poor. I'd expect this quality from a 2 for £10 kind of pub. This place could be fantastic, location is perfect. Please hire an enthusiastic chef and bring some lovely food to the tables. The food is currently a massive let down.

Visited for the 3rd time yesterday and probably won’t go again. 1st visit last year was great but the last 2 rubbish. Not welcoming at all. Rude unhelpful older lady behind the bar. I understand some places not wanting children in their small pubs but...

After visiting the graveyard at Byley we stopped for a snack around lunchtime. I was amazed at how nice this establishment and the quality of their food. Excellent.

Visited tonight and ordered the fish and chips and fried chicken salad. Both dishes were very good along with the beer selection.

I go regularly and can highly recommend it all. Gastro-ish but with a genuinely authentic rustic edge. Good bar & gin menu. Good staff. Highly recommend the platters....

Ate here last night, cannot recommend enough. The food is home cooked to perfection. The rarebit bits are delicious and so was the chicken and bacon pie. Truly an unforgettable experience.

Just had a lovely family meal here , food was good , atmosphere was good with musical entertainment which customers were taking full advantage of with lots of dancing and singing and applauding the nights pianist and guitar player , the staff worked tirelessly to keep their customers happy and tables were served and cleared quickly with offerings of desserts coffee etc , special mention to Izzy who looked after us she made our evening very pleasurable .The pub is a well oiled machine with obvious good leadership directed to the staff , keep up the good work . We will be back .

We visited of a weekend, the place wasn't particularly busy, it is a self service, order food at the bar place which is OK but the prices don't reflect this.We had a seafood sharing platter which includes a 1/2 pint of prawns which in reality is five, shell on prawns in a half pint glass stuffed with leaves. The mackerel pate is just from a large tub served up in a fancy pot, a few slices of smoked salmon, seven pieces of scampi and four other deep fried, tasteless something balls bulked up with potato and tasted of nothing and plenty of bread.£24 for the above is not good value for money and we wont be going back.On the upside, the service, what little interaction we had, was great.

We stumbled across this place on our way home from a weekend in Stratford. We sat in the garden and it was okay, nothing too special but the weather was nice. We ordered drinks and got some menus. The price of the food was extortionate but we were hungry so we ordered anyway. We waited around 50 minutes to the point where we thought they’d forgotten about us!! I had a chicken Cesar salad and my partner had a chicken pie. Although my salad was fine, I expected a bit more for £13! Another pub I go to makes a lovely Cesar salad with fresh croutons, lots of chicken and you get bread with it. I was expecting something along these lines...it was just basic and a complete rip off for the price. £4 for a side of chips. My partners pie was again fine. It did have lots of chicken but there was no sauce or gravy in it. Nobody checked on us during the meal and when we left there was no ‘thank you’ or ‘see you again’. I definitely would not go again. Complete rip off and much nicer places in the area.

This pub/restaurant was recommended to me by the campsite which I was staying on. I went for a relaxing evening meal with lovely hot weather. The pub was very friendly with excellent customer service. The food was well presented and tasted delicious I will recommend the pub to anyone for meals and drinks.

Visited here on a Sunday as we fancied a roast dinner.It was extremely busy but we didn’t have to wait too long to be seated.The food didn’t disappoint,it was really lovely and the staff were very helpful and friendly.Will definitely visit again

Came here last night as website said that they accepted dogs, which they do and have a special room.I ordered their "Special" plaice with new jersey potatoes and a vegetable but I couldn't tell what it was. As soon as it arrived I noticed an odd smell to the plaice & vegetable. The plaice was also not very hot. one mouthful was enough! It was horrible. I ate the new potatoes although they seemed as though they had been left in the pan for ever.We were asked if the meal was OK, so I told them it was horrible. They did offer to replace the meal, but I declined.

I have eaten at Three Greyhounds a few times and one one occasion when my partner became ill the care and support we received from the staff was superb.The food has always previously been very good. During this week’s visit I was really disappointed. Over cooked fish cakes, tasteless pork and what seemed like a stale brownie. Hopefully this was just a one off “bad night” as the venue is really nice and the staff are engaging.

Always a good experience. Good menu and selection of Beers. Friendly and not at all steep on pricing. Worth a trip out. Busy at times but this must be a reflection of what to expect. Go for a weekday treat and the carpark will not be so full. Recommend A1+

Brill day with all the familys of both sides excellent food good selection of beers friendly staff will visit again

We stopped for lunch here and the lovely bar maid suggested the best table for us with 3 little ones. Fish and chips were fantastic! Homemade mushy peas and tartare sauce on the side of really crispy battered fish and great chips and a fresh, thick cut slice of whole meal bread and butter We all loved it!

This was my first visit to the Three Greyhounds. It’s very similar to their other pub over in Mobberley The Bull. Looking on their website they appear to have taken over most of the pubs in Mobberley now. The formula here is the same; a very warm welcome, making you feel at home and wanted. Service is excellent. We had a late Sunday lunch and they even changed one of the dinners which was ordered in error. A nice traditional pub with traditional food. It’s a pity that haven’t taken over our local!

Called in on the off chance; never been before but great welcome by Landlord who was keen to discuss the rugby with my partner. Felt comfortable immediately. Great local ale, well kept.Lots of places to sit( noticed very dog friendly for future reference).Partner enjoyed really tasty burger with spicy chutney and good chips.I had Sunday roast ( few degrees too cold for my liking but my fault I didn't send it back). Beef good but very rare...again my fault I didn't stipulate well done.Smashing experience. Will return.

On a visit to Cheshire my husband and I stumbled across this delightful quaint lovely pub with charm and atmosphere. The pub was full of candles, log fire which created a cosy atmosphere. We had a lunch of lovely fresh sandwiches from an extensive rang.I would definitely go back again.

Lovely location, plenty of cars in the car park. Went in for lunch, only one other table of one person in. Very quiet, three coal/log fires lit which was very welcoming.Took a seat in the snug, asked for menus and asked if there was a vegetarian soup. Waitress informed us that yes there was and it was “pea” soup. Ordered the soup and mushrooms and fish cake.Even though it was very quiet we still had to wait 40 minutes for our starters.Soup arrived and it looked lovely, upon stirring it there were pink “stringy” bits in it, upon closer inspection it turned out to be ham Sent the soup back and ordered the cauliflower instead. They arrived and were ok but very greasy. They refunded the soup and didn’t charge for the cauliflower. Mushrooms and fish cake were ok, but not particularly exciting.Won’t be rushing back in a hurry.

What kind of "family" pub serving Sunday lunch doesn't have high chairs for babies? What kind of "family" pub serving Sunday lunch doesn't have a children's menu? The Three Greyhounds in Allostock, that's where!!!Food took over an hour to be served. I'm so glad we pre-ordered. Yes we pre-ordered!! Unbelievable. The price was extortionate too. Terrible.

This was my first visit and I loved it. A beautiful quaint pub with multiple open fires that added to the ambiance. The staff couldn’t have been friendly or helpful. On top of the service the food was delicious. I asked for alterations to my main meal and it was no trouble, some places make you feel like you’re being a nuisance. The mashed potato was gorgeous as was the gravy and my partner had a burger that he absolutely loved. Definitely returning.

Bought fine wine received thick glasses which I’d expect from a Weatherspoons. Very drafty; asked the waitress twice for the fire to be relit, alternatively I would do it if she could get me the supplies; I was told she didn’t have the time.... unfortunately their other pub, The Church Inn in Mobberley, are just has stingy with the logs....Also in the 3G’s The pudding had entwined sheets of gelatine amongst the cream! YUK!No compensation offered.

we love coming here, the staff are friendly, decor is fabulous, drinks are good, atmosphere is top-notch, however the menu is a bit bland, could use an update; also, more vegetarian/vegan options would be very welcome

Ate here many times and always have excellent service, a nice convivial atmosphere, friendly staff and menu choice is very good. Lovely and warm too! Plenty of off road parking as well.

I don't know if the chef has changed, but the food wasn't up to the usual standard.Hardly anyone in the place, but a 40 minute wait! A mound of congealed mushy peas and chips that were just, well, bits. It's not cheap, so I expect better than I can get at the chippy for a fraction of the cost.The staff were polite and attentive, and the ambience was good. Please don't let the quality of food slip.

The pub has every advantage in terms of position and atmosphere. But our food (by no means cheap) did not impress. In particular, the pork pie on the sharing platter was probably the most insipid I've ever tasted: no perceptible moisture and no flavour. I suggest they change their supplier, which is hardly difficult. All in all, the food was not poor enough to be rejected, but not good enough to impress. The place seems to be coasting along.

Friends visiting from Dubai wanted to experience a traditional Sunday lunch in an English pub this place was recommended by a friend . Enjoyed a really easy walk round Shakerley Mere which is literally next door and then lunch at the Three Greyhounds really different quirky interior fabulously welcoming staff. Roast beef lunch was superb everything was bang on the money and layed back just as it should be on a sunday after a stressful week. Busy busy place with a real mixture of people dog walkers etc THEY ARE DOG FRIENDLY. Really nice mixture of staff who regularly checked that we were ok and did we need anything without being intrusive. Definitely a place to recommend for a great Sunday roast. Just love the laided back professional service style the staff have here bit of a hidden gem and for the price great value. Thank you

Had a meeting with colleagues. One of the first through the door so no issues getting a table but Surprised how this place filled up for lunch so quick. Service wasn’t quick but staff were good. Burger was very good indeed but the chips only OK. Very nice place good surroundings log fire and nice clientele.

Our local pub is under the same ownership so we called in here for lunch. I had the Black Bomber Cheese, Potato, and Onion Pie as pictured. It was gorgeous. My wife had a mug of homemade soup, with Welsh Rarebit and delightful thick slices of bread. We thoroughly recommend The Three Greyhounds.

Absolutely totally amazing night...fantastic live singer..bbq ...outstanding bar ...lovely fire pits...very romantic. ..

We visited the pub last Sunday, and ordered a fish and chips, sausage and mash and an extra portion of onion rings.Firstly the pub is lovely, with nice friendly staff.The seating is good; larger tables, and tables hidden away for cosy moments.The food was nice, but I was slightly disappointed by the “lambing shed sausages”, they were very small and quite bland. I’ve ordered sausages and mash before and had three larger sausages. Consistency is key with food, as in hind sight I would have ordered something else had I known the size of sausage.I think as they were small the chef/ manager could have added an extra one or considered this as an option (A group on a table near us mentioned exactly the same thing).Also the red cabbage was nice, but overly sweet, and I’ve got a really sweet tooth! The fish and chips were lovely, with a light batter and perfectly cooked fish. The chips were crispy (although we had to remove the fish from the top of the chips to stop the chips becoming soggy) the peas were nice too.I was slightly disheartened that a child on the table next to us ordered a “child’s fish and chips” and it was exactly the same size as the one we had, just minus the lemon! ....Again consistency is key!The onion rings were crispy and light, and in a light batter like the fish, just a shame the bigger onion rings weren’t properly cooked through. I’d definitely eat here again, I just hope you read the reviews and take note!

Very friendly country pub, plenty of parking, offering food all day which is a plus. A good selection of beers, reasonably priced, and the meals tasted home-cooked, not defrosted, much better than standard pub grub. The service was a bit slow, which was surprising as it wasn't busy, and they forgot the pot of tea which was supposed to come with the fish and chips, but all in all we were very pleased with the place, and would come back.

One of a small group of pubs with same owners. Blown away by decor, warmth of staff, ambience before we even got to the menu and drinks. Superb quality of food - small but perfect menu. Wonderfully knowledgeable young bar staff and huge range of gins.

Dinner here was a wonderful experience. Atmosphere great, staff helpful and the food was great. Would recommend this pub and the Eaton Mess dessert

Nice relaxing place food was lovely .we had fish and chips which we enjoyed .Also nice just to sit chat and drink there

I really think this pub need to put a huge big sign outside saying NO BABIES!We came here as it was lunch time and our 11 month old needed feeding and so did we! Found a table sat down ordered drinks at the bar then 5 mins later requested a high chair- sorry we don’t supply them in this pub... pardon that’s a first! We had already received our drinks at this point so I plonked my baby on the table pulled out a baby food pouch as I didn’t want to stay here and wait for food and fed her on the table. Had to drink the tea very carefully and away from her as it was obviously hot and was in reach as she was sat on the table- absolutely rediculous if you don’t want babies and kids put a sign up so everyone knows where they stand. It was rather cringe the whole experience. They must be doing sometime right though as it was full of over the over 70’s enjoying their fish and chips!

Visited Saturday staff were very helpful and friendly food was excellent good selection of beers will definitely be returning

Gave this place the benefit of doubt as first time I tried their signature dish chicken pie and it arrived at the table raw, I did not eat it and was not even asked why by the waitress when I sent a full pie back to the kitchen. Second time I ordered a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich - the bread was stale and the cream cheese was invisible, sent it back and second attempt was better Third time had famous platter and pretty average with awful frozen chips. Great location and fab to walk dog and very accommodating to dogs but not worth it when it comes to food.

Our neighbours and I have a monthly dinner and we rotate where we go. Today they chose The Three Greyhounds. We couldn't book a table, so we arrived at 7pmish and could get a table straight away it wasn't packed but for a Wednesday night they had a decent amount of tables filled. We ordered drinks, and then ordered a starting platter and 4 mains courses at roughly 7:15. We had drunk our first round of drinks and by 8pm no starter plate in site. I went up to order my second drink, and asked where our platter was and I was told it was just coming out now. Took another 5 minutes to arrive and to be frank it wasn't great. The Ham Hock Terrine had fennel in so was spoilt, the pork pie was tasteless and the prawn still had their heads and shells on so were very fiddly. The description of a half pint of prawns implies half a pint of small prawns, not 5 rather big ones hanging over the edge. Plates were cleared quite quickly, and main courses arrived 8:45pm. Fish and Chips, Thai Prawn and Monkfish Curry, Sausages and Mash and a Lamb Rump were ordered. Fish and Chips were massive, but it turned out the fish was mainly batter. The curry was served with separate rice, and no plate to mix the two was provided. The monkfish was partially overcooked and therefore chewy. The lamb rump had a balsamic glaze, with roasted veg and fondant potatoes. The roasted veg were in a very sweet sauce, and the lamp rump was half cooked well, half over cooked. The fondant potatoes bounced off the plate because they were too hard on the outside to cut. The Sausages and mash were nice, but apparently the sausages were very spicy. We ordered desserts, two ice creams and one lemon tart. The tart was sharp, cream was provided but definitely not enough. Overall the service was slow, considered there's no table service and you order at the bar. Food shouldn't be that slow, you definitely feel there's more of an emphasis on the bar and the food is an after thought. All the food seems to have had some kind of spin to it, to make it seem different. I wouldn't come back unfortunately.

Had a lovely walk with the doodle round the lake and then called in for some lunch. Lovely seating area outside and fabulous facilities for dogs. Unfortunately the food was mediocre, limp soggy salad which isn’t very pleasant. Sadly on the day we went we were plagued by wasps too. We aren’t put off as will try again soon.

I heard from a friend good things about the Three Greyhounds Inn, so Saturday night my Husband and I took it upon ourselves to try it out.To say the least we were very impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and had a great atmosphere as well. The pub itself is very trendy and quirky, the staff are welcoming. It isn't table service but that didn't matter to us!I had the Chicken and Coconut Curry which was delicious and my Husband had a chicken pie which he thought was extremely tasty.. especially the minty mushy peas! We are so happy to have found this little gem and definitely look forward to our next visit!

Visited this week after previous visits and ordered fish and chips and the "legendary chicken , smoked ham ,leek and tarragon pie". After cutting into the pie I discovered very little chicken but masses of smoked ham and carrot making the pie very salty due to the abundance of ham. I mentioned the lack of chicken and and overuse of ham and carrot to my waitress and she stated that a new chef had started and she would let the manager know of my complaint. On paying the bill I had been charged in full and no mention was made of my dissatisfaction with my dish so hence the review.The management should rename the pie according to the ingredients as if I wanted smoked ham and carrot pie I would have ordered it !!The fish and chips that my dining partner had were very good though !

The location is really nice, the decor is cozy and the beer garden is big, so we had a good first impression. Shame the menu was the first down fall as finding something for lunch at an average price was difficult, the lunch specials menu was disappointing. We opted for a 5oz sirloin, chips and salad each at £10.95 pp, I ended up with the wrong steak as my partners was cooked medium and mine medium well. The steak had no colour from a hot pan, chips were like scraps and salad was badly chopped and had no dressing. The staff seemed friendly enough , so overall just sort the food out and give us value for money

Dinner with friends began with the Trawler Platter to share which was good. Folk had salads, roast beef, roast pork - all of which looked good- and I had the fisherman's pie which was tasty. Good ale to accompany.

One of the best meals I have had in a long time . Interesting menu and great service. Highly recommend the prosecco jelly - very yummy

Went here tonight for a birthday meal with a friend. The fish pie was tasty but tiny. I told the waiter when he collected the plate that the meal was too small, he apologised but did nothing. When I went to pay the bar staff member asked me if everything was ok - I told him no, it was too small, and did not justify a cost of £13.95. He just said ‘that’s how it comes’. If you don’t want to hear customers opinions, then don’t ask how the meal was!!! Never again will I go to this overpriced pub with pretentious food.

As part of a team doing a charity run from Lands End to John O' Groats, five of us arrived at the pub mid afternoon hoping to get something to eat, especially as certain members of the team were vegetarian or vegan. Although initially told that lunchtime serving had finish, the staff and chefs kindly made an exception, and produced a magnificent meal for all, which met all requirements of team members. The pub is of mock rustic image but well laid out in a pleasant modern way. There was a good range of 5 real ales available on the bar. The barman produced a 'surprise' gin for one member of the team. Thanks to all the staff for a warm welcome and excellent meal.

Massively over priced! You can go far nicer places (Hayhurst Arms, Fox & Hounds, The Badger Inn, Cheshire Grill) for the same money.The food is cheap and not cooked great. Me and my Husband had 2 burgers and they were the cheapest looking burgers ever. I think the owners/chefs need to visit their competitors and then maybe they'll understand why they have so many complaints re. the price and the food.Service was also very poor- 30 minutes after finishing our starters our plates were FINALLY cleared! Its also disappointing that you do not get waited on considering their prices. I wouldn't expect to go anywhere and have to order at the bar and pay their prices! Over priced Weatherspoons!

Not sure whether this has changed hands but something dramatic has happened here! We called in with another couple after recommending it for an early evening meal. Ordered drinks at the bar, two glasses arrived with severe lipstick and finger prints on the glasses from the previous user. I returned the drinks to the bar and to give them their due they replaced. We ordered the food. All choices were selections that we, as locals, have had on numerous occasions. The Legendary Chicken, ham and Leek pie is now legendary for all the wrong reasons - absolutely disgusting. Two small pieces of chicken crusty and dry and inedible, the ham burnt to a frazzle and no leek - i left the contents and ate bits of the pastry as i was starving. The Burgers were cheap rubbish and the Burts Blue Cheese (they advertise it comes with) did not taste or look like the Burts Blue cheese my husband regularly has. The chips on all our plates look as though they had been other customers returns. I strongly suspect there was nothing 'artisan and local' about any of the ingredients we were served. This is cheap food at inflated prices. Top this off with them trying to charge us for different drinks to what we had at twice the price. When we mentioned this they agreed with what we had ordered and changed the bill but no apology and very offhand. Wont be back anytime soon. Dreadful experience and felt embarrassed to have recommended it. Since the visit I checked out the hygiene certificate and was flabbergasted to discover its score is 1 out of 5 !

We got there early evening with high hopes, the place was packed and it we lovely weather. However when we received our food it wasn't tasty at all, the pie was burned inside and out and the burgers didn't seem like they tasted of good quality meat. When coming to pay they overcharged us.This pub used to be so good and has somehow gone downhill with the food and ESPECIALLY hygiene rating! Until things change we will go elsewhere.

Seeing as my children are away for the weekend, my partner and I along with our next door neighbours decided to have an afternoon out, thinking some nice food and drinks would be a good way to spend it.All four of us, was not happy with the food in which we were served, when trying to feedback my partner was shot down by an aggressive rude member of staff.No offer of discount or even an apology, we all left our meals and went into Holmes chapel to spend our afternoon where a good service would be provided and our money was welcomed.They say, you learn something new everyday, well we learnt a few things....lesson 1, dont spend valuable time herelesson 2, if you have a complaint about the standard of the food, keep your opinions to yourself, my partner was shot down as he complained about our inedible food.lesson 3, read trip advisor before choosing where to spend the afternoonlesson 4, dont visit again

I am so glad we did not read the reviews before our visit today otherwise we would have missed out on a great meal. Ok - when we arrived there were people taking dogs inside with them and although I like dogs I don't want them near me when I'm eating food and completely understand why if you did not like them you would avoid a visit. However we were reassured that they were not allowed in the restaurant area. The trawlers sharing board was really tasty and despite being really busy all the staff were friendly and service was excellent. The pub was holding the local village fete and as it had started to rain they brought the music inside - which only added to the great atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.

I think my title sums our recent visit up.Friday evening , my husband and my 2 children went for a meal.Didn’t start well when I was told no high chairs for young children, I asked how do they accommodate families with children , I was told “we don’t cater for families”Dont carter for families ? This is 2018, not the early 1900’sI went to my car and and had to bring our little girls booster seat in.We were slightly alarmed by the untidiness and obvious dirt we was sat around we have since found out from the recent reviews this seems to be an ongoing issue.It really was the wrong decision not to check trio advsior before our visit, the food was awful, from our starter to our mains. We tried to explain our concerns to the man behind the bar , he shrugged his shoulders and handed us our bill of £73.50, for 2 adults and 2 child’s portions.I challenged the comment re not catering for families , and I was told this is company policy, I pointed out the summer fete they were advertising and how it was supposed to geared up for families , he said no, it’s more aimed at dogs.My advice, if you have children, if you expect a nice meal, clean and tidy surroundings then this isn’t the place for youIf you like below average food, horrific service and a dirty place to sit with lots of dogs, then this is the place for you.

Called in earlier to make booking and was informed they don’t do advance bookings.Turned up later with friends and took a table by the window. Wooden surface felt sticky so asked for it to be cleaned. Chap arrived with damp dish cloth and made the effort. As it dried it was again sticky. Lady brought utensils and we asked for another clean. She did the soggy dish cloth routine again, no spray cleaner-and it was just as bad. She muttered something about it may be the varnish. Tried the ‘Three Greyhounds Bitter’ craft beer, 4.5 abv. Not good, cloudy and flat. Two had fish pie. Oddly served in iron mini saucepans. They were ok. Two had chicken and ham pie. Chips were stale and woody. Couple of pieces of tasteless chicken with slivers of over cooked, tough ham in gruel. Pastry was hard and inedible. Both agreed the worst ever. ‘Meals’ were £13.95 each!Was here a couple of years ago and it was excellent, if somewhat overpriced. This was an experience never to be repeated.

I don’t know where to start, some girlfriends and I went for dinner after work.Always have had a pleasant experience , but this time it was dreadful.Place was virtually empty, and it was scruffy , newspapers left on the table and no staff in sight Stood at the bar for 10 minutes waiting to be served, finally 2 staff made an appearance, my friend said they had been a good round the corner talking and eating chips.The food was luke warm, soggy chips , how hard is it to cook chips ?We decided not to order deserts, we paid and left It’s not the cheapest , but the standard is probably the worse in the areaWe’ve subsequently decided to have our next get to together at the Cheshire Grill This is not the same place , we won’t be in a hurry to return.

It's always nice to have an agreeable family dinner, unfortunately the agreement was that the food was disappointing and over-priced. Four mains and a round of soft drinks for £66 seemed steep for average pub-grub served in portions that were less than generous. Burgers were dry and the chips woody. Chicken curry was nicely prepared but a very small portion. I have eaten at the Three Greyhounds previously but tonight was a poor imitation of past experience.

Have been to this pub on previous occasions and had enjoyed our visits but this time it all seemed a little lacking. On entering and asking the barmaid for a table, there was no welcome, she just gave us two menus and said take a seat where you fell comfortable then come back to the bar to order. The table we chose had two chairs and both were rickety and dangerous to sit on so we had to rearrange the furniture before sitting down. When I approached the bar I was greeted with the words "Are you ok there" This is one of my pet hates and often feel like replying "Yes, I'm ok, if I wasn't I'd have gone to a hospital rather than a pub" The beer I received was warm and not very pleasant. The menu offered little choice but the food was good.In all we weren't impressed on this visit.

I came here for lunch the other week with my family and was delighted with the service and the food.The pub itself is really cozy and had a lovely atmosphere. It was busy but the staff were working hard and were really friendly especially the gentleman on the bar. I had the soup and a sandwich which were both really tasty especially the soup. I’m rather picky when it comes to soup but theirs really was amazing - I’d definitely recommend.I’ll definitely be back again!

Whilst we were advised that there had been issues in the kitchen and there was a limited menu, the food was ok. The service was ok however were wernt too impressed on the time it took for the meals to arrive after ordering or to clear the table of dirty dishes and empty glasses after the main meal. On a positve the staff were friendly.

Very limited menu. Usually I write positive reviews. Sorry to say Calamari fried as a starter tasted soggy like onion rings x 4 lonely pieces frankly the worst we have ever experienced. Burger was very good but my 'Famous' chicken and ham pie was surrounded by the hardest pastry imaginable and was over cooked with chips and mushy peas. One desert which was ok, one coffee, two pints, two glasses of wine £72 ! Local chip shop supplies better pies and chips and it is not hard to do a reasonable burger! A really disappointing experience we will not return.

Absolutely fantastic venue! Great space for private function, food was delicious and staff were great. Couldn’t fault it!

We stopped off for a quick drink with our dog. We sat outside, out of the way, because our dog is nervous. My wife went for the drinks. She waited, and waited to be served. Clearly locals come first here. Eventually we had our drinks and my wife returned the glasses. The person behind the bar just looked her up and down. She said 'thank you' and was just ignored. Apparently there's a sign in the bar that states that children can only be in there up to 7pm, at which point they must go into the beer garden. So, if you want to go back to the 1970s this is the place for you. Although I'm not sure that kind of customer service was any more acceptable then really ? There are many pleasant little pubs around here - this isn't one of them. Avoid.

Ok, quiet night, pleasant surroundings. Food reasonable, nothing outstanding. Ice cream could’ve done with a biscuit or wafer.

Passing through the area,picked this restaurant as it is on the coeliac app as a safe place to eat. Looked at the separate gluten free menu it had cod with couscous, I asked about the couscous as it is not gluten free although it was on the gluten free menu, I was assured it would not be couscous. My meal came it looked nice, mushy peas were substituted for asparagus as I cannot have dairy, unfortunately I had asparagus for starters!After I had eaten the meal I asked what the grain was as I could tell it was not couscous, it was Bulgar wheat. I was ill and could not understand why, looked up bulgar wheat and that was the cause. Buck Wheat is gluten free not bulgar wheat.I have phoned the restaurant to point out the error on the gluten free menu, they will now remove it from the menu!The manager apologised and asked me to go back and give them another chance. No Chance!My sister had the chicken salad, chicken had no flavour and the mango and avocado salad had no avocado. It’s all about the look, wine was not good either.

There is so little which tempted me on the menu - this used to be a wonderful place to eat but unfortunately has gone down hill. The food was ok but needs some fresh idea's. Won't be going back to eat.

We stopped in tonight for a drink and some food after hearing good things from friends. The outside sitting area is lovely and the blankets are a nice touch. So we sat outside for a bit and had a drink before considering some food. Bottled cider obviously came without fault but the Amstel on draft was pretty flat. There was no head on it at all but as it was sort of drinkable I didn’t think it worth the effort to comment. We then went inside and ordered the classic three greyhounds pub plate. This offered cocktail sausages, a scotch egg, a pork pie, whitebait, smoked rabbit terrine and half a pint of prawns. When it came it was obvious that half of the plate was taken up by bread, and the half a pint of prawns totalled 5 prawns. The prawns and the whitebait were tasty enough but as far as sausages go, I can’t say I’ve ever had a dry sausage before. The plate came with 4 sausages and 2 were served to another diners dog. The scotch egg was average but the pork pie was completely tasteless. The pastry was flimsy and pale and even a good helping of salt didn’t help. The terrine also had no taste and when paired with the generous helping of bread, simply tasted of bread. We were lucky that we ordered a side of chips as a last minute thought which saved us from going hungry. Unfortunately as others have advised, you have to pay at the bar beforehand. So there was no real table service which would have given us a chance to voice our disappointment and frankly refuse the pay the full amount. After we left we went home and made some nachos. The atmosphere and decor is lovely, the staff seem friendly enough and other people’s dogs are a pleasure to be around, but as far as the food and drink go, we won’t be back.

Came here for dinner out; to find the pub had dogs around everywhere, off putting: dogs should just be in one area when people are eating, didn’t find staff particularly welcoming either...The pub is placed nicely on the way to Northwich with good parking and a lot of space.Ideally this place is good if you have a pet dog..

A lovely interesting building with comfort and atmosphere and very friendly but professional staff. We didn't eat on this occasion but will definitely go back and try the food next time.

Four of us and two beagles, reserved a table for dinner on Saturday evening (we were visiting the area for Beagle World Record attempt at Capesthorne Hall Estate on Sunday). The staff were very friendly, and didn’t mind two stubborn Beagles either, there were plenty of other dogs and thier owners ther as well. The food was superb, A real Gastro Pub, the food was cooked properly, no prepared rubbish here The Ales they had on were really good too, I would definitely suggest you try the names sake ale! Great food, Great Ale and Great service and dog friendly...perfect

Call in with friends from work..lovely decor and a warm welcome..food was good and staff friendly will call again

We travel an hour to visit this pub for Sunday Lunch and 18 months ago it was one of the most amazing Sunday Lunches we had tasted in a long time. On Sunday 8th April it was chaotic. Every empty table was reserved and the only table available was in-between two door’s and a bit like Clapham Junction! I asked a waitress whilst my boyfriend was at the bar ordering food if their was a possibility on another table for two, she came back and said there was nothing, “yes nothing but empty reserved tables” When one finally came available opposite us before we had chance to move, they slapped another reserved sign on it. My boyfriend chatted to the management telling them that’s our table and they finally let us swap. The boss seemed very aggravated and when my boyfriend asked him for a couple of extra potatoes he charged an extra £3.25 which stated chips on the receipt, which I certainly wasn’t happy about, but my main disappointment was the two slices of gristly beef we we’re served with fried roasted potatoes all two of them, lumpy carrot mash and tasteless red cabbage, which is normally amazing? They didn’t ask if everything OK because it certainly wasn’t in the end we walked out, they are lucky we paid on ordering, because I would have asked for a deduction for gristly beef and a tasteless dinner? Today’s

After a dreadful first visit to the three greyhounds, my fiancée and I thought it was only fair to visit for a second time in case we had visited on a 'bad night'. We had only heard good reviews before and after our first visit which suggested that it was our issue. Turns out we should've trusted our first impression.We visited the restaurant on a Sunday at 6;30 as a group of 7 with 4 out of the 7 planning to having Sunday dinners. We sat down at 6.45 and placed our orders at 7pm. I was initially told that they didn't have any chicken so I opted for the beef instead which wasn't ideal but wasn't going to ruin the meal.At 7.40 we hadn't received our food, in the meantime the table behind us had left and was replaced around 7.30 by another group. At 7.45 the server came out to inform my partner that there was no rice for her curry and offer her a substitute of chips, again not an enormous problem but she could've been told 45 minutes earlier when she order the food. The server also spoke to another member of our group who had ordered the vegetarian sunday roast and asked him whether he would be ok with the meat gravy or would he like the chef to make a vegetarian batch. Due to the long wait that we had already had he accepted the meat gravy as it would take even longer to make. Once again this could've been resolved 45 minutes earlier.When the food eventually arrived we were very disappointed. Four meals consisted of a large Yorkshire pudding to cover the fatty beef, lack of roast potatoes (both of which were over cooked) and mash as well as a 60 percent plate covering of leafy greens. My fiancée received over cooked, dry chicken, a burnt naan bread and the dregs of the chips. Most of which she didn't eat due to the poor quality. After this awful meal we noticed that the table behind us had received their meal within 30 minutes of ordering but what made it worse was that one of the customers had ordered the curry and received rice 20 minutes after my fiancée was told that the kitchen had run out of it and had to have the leftover chips from the pan. After informing one of the servers about the issue the manager came over to explain and told us that he was unaware that we had been told their was no rice when he took the order from the table behind. When asked why we were told that there was no rice when there blatantly was he replied once again that he was unaware that we were told there was no rice but this time added 'when I asked the chefs to cook more rice' for the table behind us.I was absolutely disgusted by this as it showed that the chefs were too lazy to cook the rice and simply wanted to get rid of the leftover chips. Giving us a meal that we couldn't eat and charging us for it. Safe to say we will not be going back and can only recommend that anyone who has ever tasted anything other than poor quality pub grub avoids this restaurant at all costs.

Diverted off M6 and decided to stop for lunch. Quick consultation of TA led us to the Three Greyhounds, what a find!Warmly welcomed, we sat near the cosy fire to decide what to eat. It was fairly busy, lovely interior with a mix of seating and tables, sofas etc. We chose the steak sandwich and sausage sandwich, both came with chips and were absolutely delicious. Good value for money we’ll definitely return next time we’re en route down south! My husband wants to try the scotch egg!

This is a large country pub. Was here for a friends party. It was a good job they have a huge car park as it was busy @nd I am sure most people will drive here. Good beers and good choices in the bar.. we had food at the party and this was very good considering the food was catering for around 50 people.

What a wonderful place this is to meet up with family or friends. Called in yesterday and I ordered the chicken and smoked ham pie. Wow, what a plate full. It was absolutely delicious, but I had to admit defeat in the end. I truly would recommend this pie and pub.

We visited the Three Greyhounds on a Thursday night and were seated in a nice area where the dog could join us (always a huge bonus for us). On arrival the staff were attentive and quick to take our drinks order and we ordered food within 20 minutes of arriving... However, we waited over an hour for our meals. Now I know it's not a fast food outlet but over an hour for main courses is far too long to have to wait in our opinion, especially as they weren't particularly busy. On arrival the food was average, with some of the meals being tepid and not warm enough - sending them back after waiting over an hour already wasn't an option. Nothing was particularly noteworthy which was a shame. There were three steaks ordered and they were all quite tough and underwhelming which for £19.75 each was disappointing. The bar staff were attentive all evening and quick to keep us topped up which was great.Overall, a lovely atmosphere and decor with the added bonus of being very dog friendly, but an underwhelming meal overall.

I have now been back to the three greyhounds several times for lunches and evening meals since the change in management last year! The new manager Dominic is a breath of fresh air as are all the staff. Exceptional service, great variety of choice, food quality and taste exceptional for a local pub! I highly recommend it and in particular to all dog lovers. The ambience is pretty special fir whatever the occasion!

Upon arrival I was told that the three greyhounds don’t have high chairs & told I could bring my pram in... completely unacceptable for a venue which predominately serves food, how is our child supposed to join in the family meal to eat?? Completely unacceptable!!! Needless to say they lost a sale from 3 adults & 1 child & we will not be returning to a venue that cannot spend a few £££’S on the comfort of their customers!
