    This is becoming a bit of a regular spot for mid bike ride refreshments in an evening. The aioli is absolutely fantastic, tried the frickles this week which I am sure will be having again. Good choice of drinks and always an atmosphere in the bar area with plenty of locals catching up.

    Not been for about 10 months, which made me look extra hard at what is on offer there. I did think that the menu was slightly over priced, especially the peri peri chicken burger, which the two 12 year old girls that were with me chose. Sorry to say, but I thought they were quite a bit over priced. Not too sure that I would class it as a family pub, as we were only offered one menu, which to me wasn't geared up for a teenagers choice. However, the fish served as fish and chips was very nice and the cheese and onion pie was excellent, but again, still a bit over priced though. Other than that a nice pub, but it was for the food that we went, so a bit disappointed.

    Great pub with lovely beer garden. Staff were great service is good. Food is ok I had fish and chips it was very average I don't understand why a chef cannot make chips frozen chips are just lazy. Mushy peas were thick and tasteless. On a warm evening I wasn't expecting luke warm rose. They really could do better.

    We booked for lunch and we were not disappointed the food was top class, the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. The last time I was in The Greyhound was about 1984 when it was just a little village pub the alterations that have been done very tastefully. Well worth a visit

    One of our group was served some very tough beef which they replaced, otherwise I would rate it four star across-the-board.

    We booked for 7.30 on a Saturday night and arrived shortly before our reservation time. We were welcomed by a friendly lady who saw us to our table, and took our drinks order. The restaurant was extremely quiet for a Saturday night with only one other party of three eating. After studying the menu for ten minutes I was really looking forward to the “legendary cheese and onion pie” 😋 We were then approached by a different member of staff, who informed us there was no cheese and onion or steak pie left. Wow - only 7.30 on a Saturday night with hardly any diners and they have run out of pies! I settled for fish and chips which wasn’t great. Batter soggy, not crispy and cold at the thin end and mushy peas were lukewarm. Obviously had been sat as the fish had sweated causing the batter to go soggy. My wife had the lamb shank which she described as “okay but nothing special”. A pub or restaurant should not be running out of core menu stock at 7.30 on a Saturday night, especially when virtually empty. If they are popular dishes, make sure you have plenty of stock to be able to meet demand during service, and bring food out promptly or get your timings right so dishes don’t sweat and cool unnecessarily. This is unprofessional and is easily avoidable. I hope the greyhound take my comments on board as I am being honest and do know what I am talking about. It is a lovely venue and the staff are friendly and polite, hence the three stars. Will try again in a month or so, so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

    Excellent food, friendly service and nice to see menus which are not too trendy, fusion or overly fancy. Really enjoyed our meal in a cosy, quiet and as far as I could see, no TV screen or noisy gaming machines. Dogs welcome in a section of the bar. A very good experience and will certainly return.

    I recently visited the greyhound with my family after a day out at tatton park. We were welcomed warmly with our 2 young children, in which the waiting staff were very friendly. Once seated we ordered drinks and food very swiftly, which is always perfect when you have small children to entertain! The food was perfect, great portions and cooked freshly. Great friendly, polite staff, will definitely be returning in the future

    We used to come here most Sundays for the roast and it was one of the best loacally. We hadn't been for a while and it has changed, the gravy was nowhere near as delicious as it used to be. The change of veg and no mash was a shame as it used to be amazing and there was also too much cabbage ! The Turkey, Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes were still amazing!

  • 5/5 John P. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the nicest Sunday roasts I've had. Flavourful meat and delicious veg for a good price. The Yorkshire was lovely. The stuffing should be larger. Staff very friendly and attentive. Updated menu now includes unlimited gravy and Yorkshire's!

  • 3/5 Jay B. 11 months ago on Google
    The food here has been disappointing every time that I’ve ordered it, with hard chips being part of my first meal here… but the atmosphere, and the lights… as well, as the selection of drinks are all good so I don’t want to give anything less than 3 stars. I also like a lot of the decorations too… so basically it’s cool to look at, be in, and drink in… but they probably shouldn’t be serving food at all with the stuff I’ve been served, otherwise I’d probably give this place 5 stars

    We had the festive menu. The turkey, fish and beef options were very nice, but the vegetarian ravioli was dry with not enough sauce. The staff were very nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 doreen c. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff and food we were made very welcome thank you, we will come again 😊

  • 5/5 Dave E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere and great food, we visited on a Sunday and had the sharing platter. Enough for two, plenty of variety, gammon, beef and turkey, mashed and roast spuds, carrot, yorkies, caluli cheese red cabbage and some green beans with gravy. Came away very full. Will be back soon

  • 5/5 Steve C. 10 months ago on Google
    Had business in the area over a couple of days, so after a Google search, we called in for lunch. Great out of the way pub, the food was really good and with the excellent weather the beer garden was a great spot although inside the pub also looked welcoming. Had an airport run a few days later, so we called in for a snack and drink while waiting as it was only 10-15 minutes to the airport.

    I have driven past this pub many times, it looks lovely from outside, so yesterday we made the effort to go. Absolutely wonderful food & service. Will be returning soon. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Judith B. 1 year ago on Google
    Large group of us, two staff, they were so good with us. Food was really nice and hot, good atmosphere and no fuss paying the bill. We all simply went to the bar and paid for what we'd had. Wonderful.

    Lovely, very friendly pub. Super staff.

  • 5/5 amanda p. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful pub, been many times over the years, it's in a lovely location as well. Staff are really friendly, good choice of drinks, never eaten there so can't comment on the food but it does smell good. It's always somewhere we stop off when going for a drive out into the countryside. Definitely recommend it to anyone.

    With their 12 pound, two course lunch I had an excellent steak and ale pie, and a sticky toffee pudding. I couldn't eat for the rest of the day I was so stuffed.

    Absolutely love this pub! The food is gorgeous and the pub itself always has a lovely atmosphere with the added bonus of dogs being allowed in the bar section! Highly recommend this pub if you are in the area.

  • 5/5 Chris J. 2 years ago on Google
    Superb. Best steak and ale pie I have ever had... And I've had a few! Great staff and ambience. If it wasn't 200 miles from home would make it my local!

  • 5/5 Kayla C. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food which is such good value for money. Friendly & attentive staff. Will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 pete c. 2 years ago on Google
    Attended my son's 40th Birthday Lunch here in this beautiful pub - we were a large party of 18. The staff were very attentive and quick to serve and the food was very good. I think the starters were good but could have done with a little bit more. For the main course, we ordered the sharer platter and this was excellent - probably the best yorkshire pudding I've eaten in a long, long while! All in all, a great experience and one that we will definitely repeat, although it will be just two of us next time! Well done, full marks!

  • 3/5 Martyn T. 1 year ago on Google
    Popped in after visiting Tatton Park. Seated quickly and drinks ordered after 10 mins. Food ordered 5 mins later. Then over 30 mins to get our food. The food was lovely. Toilets were being fixed, but both the disabled and gents were filthy.

  • 5/5 Em J. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely superb!! The friendliest people ever, couldn't feel more welcome! Everything on the menu sounded delicious, I had fish and chips - fantastic - crispy and very flavourful and very generous portion. I will definitely be back ....
