Best steak dinner we have ever had. The food was incredible and extensive gluten free options. Staff go above and beyond to cater to dietary needs, including making sure the cocktail was made gluten free! Amazing service from every single member of staff and the room was lovely.

This is a very nice place to eat. The food quality is much better than usual 'gastro' pub food. We had an evening meal, 3 adults, 2 children and the atmosphere was very pleasant. This pub is good for children as there is plenty of space. Also the staff are very pleasant. Recommended

We have just returned from a one night stay at the Greyhound country inn. What can I say ! We had a lovely time . As soon as we walked in we had a friendly greeting from the staff,wechecked in and we're shown to our rooms . They were immaculate,so clean warm and cozy . We had lunch in the restaurant which was lovely. A good night's sleep in a comfy bed followed by a delicious breakfast. Everything was wonderful! I have to follow a gluten free diet and often struggle when out to find food I can eat. Not there nearly everything on the menu had a gluten free option. I felt thoroughly spoilt for choice . Even gluten free breakfast cereal was available!!! Well done greyhound country inn !!!!

Friendly and accommodating staff. Came in as a walk-in halfway through their Sunday service. Staff were very helpful and found us a table and said they needed it back by a certain time. Good service, very tasty roast dinners, and an overall great experience. Thanks!

Visited the Greyhound Country Inn for an evening meal whilst we were away in Monkton. Great food, great service and wonderful friendly staff. Great to have a choice on the menu of smaller portions. Wish other eateries would do this. Brilliant .

not my first time eating here, but have to say I took my family out for my mums 85th birthday, the food was the best I have ever eaten there it was fan static. the whole evening went well there were 8 of us, two of which I book a room us, outstanding reviews came back from them. they thought the rooms felt homely with good views of the countryside around and said the staff were exceptional in making them feel welcomed and settled. back to the evening the staff did a really good job of answering everyone questions advising on wine and food, really well trained exceptionally polite and friendly waiter and waitresses. a job well done. the evening was coming to a close when the birthday cake came out, this was something I had ordered in advance, the stafff and the owner came out singing happy birthday, mum was delighted, certainly made her evening. lovely touches make all the difference.
