Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Visited the restaurant just before Christmas, the first time for a couple of years. What tempted us was the new, extensive vegetarian and vegan menu, even though choices had to be made 24 hour in advance.
It took three visits and two phone calls to establish our menu choices and our chosen time of arrival. We were then phoned again by one of the staff asking if we could move our time on by 30 minutes as there was another table booked at the same time. Odd, we thought, but were happy to arrive at 19.30.
When we did arrive, we were surprised to see only one party of 6 there, and throughout the whole evening, only one other couple came in, ate, and left. Our meal was fine, but it took a full two hours to complete (with just 8 other covers). Why? Because the Greyhound does a thriving, but confusing trade in bar meals and takeaway pizzas.
The restaurant was a thoroughfare for food being taken downstairs, either for consumption in the bar or at home. When we have been in the bar and asked for a cocktail, the order goes upstairs to the restaurant, probably taking precedent over the diners’ orders. When we are in the restaurant and ask for a coffee to end the meal, the order goes downstairs to the bar, where it sits in the queue of those ordering drinks.
The bar food is excellent, and the restaurant menu is very good indeed, but don’t expect any atmosphere in the restaurant, just watch the orders going downstairs while you wait in vain for your next course, or even the bill!

A table of 7 with 2 vegans and one person with food intolerance.
Lovely premises - an absolute tardis of a place with 2 bars, a large outside seating area and a restaurant. Nice decor and atmosphere.
The young woman who served us was very polite and efficient. We had pre-ordered the vegan as mentioned on the website and it was well worth it. So good to see somewhere actually care about creative vegan choices. I'm not vegan but as I have allergies to milk and egg I often have the vegan choice just out of ease...but looking at this menu online I was actually excited at what I could have for a change!
You have to try the chilli and garlic mushroom bao buns here. Absolutely phenomenal. The red thai curry was unbelievably creamy and delicious, though I was jealous of my friends miso roasted aubergine.
A table of 7 is not particularly easy to service but the food all came out together and was hot (and very yummy!). After 4 days on holiday at the coast this place was a breath of fresh air. I will definitely be returning.

We had a family meal last night, sadly the vegetarian main option had sold out, but Cherise was amazing. She asked some of my favourite ingredients and asked the chef to create something special for me.....needless to say the rest of my family were jealous of my specially created meal! Fantastic service, she made our evening and Lel of course was amazing as always in the lounge bar downstairs!

Booked 2 tables for 2 family’s! When we arrived the staff behind the bar just said sharply “your sat down there” lovely greeting! We were sat in the bar area which wasn’t that much of a problem as we had young children with us. But after being ignored for 15 mins I went and asked for some menus which we were given 3 as “they are expensive and have to be thrown away”......! Ordered from the bar and the girl was very abrasive when asking for our order! The only upside was the pizzas were very good otherwise it would have been a lower rating!
Won’t be returning or recommending to anyone!

My family and I booked an afternoon at the greyhound for my birthday. The staff were very rude and unwelcoming. We booked the table for cocktails and food as we did a couple years ago, however we were told cocktails are not served until 6pm. When we then asked for the drinks menu, we were told they don’t have any and “it’s in his head” so we had no idea what to have or the prices of the drinks. We then ordered some food, however an item was missing so I told them they had been missed - no apology for this, just brought out and put on the table. It’s a real shame as it’s such a nice place and the food is great - the staff just need to be more polite and the customer service needs improvement!

Absolutely shocking customer service!
We were first met by a girl sat at a table outside ready to seat us. She made no effort to say hello or display any pleasantries at all. She gestured towards a table outside, when we sat down we noticed the table was absolutely filthy with bits of food and what looked like phlegm 🤢.
After sitting there for 20 minutes ,we left. We had asked two different waiters to order drinks and were told by another that she would be 1 minute, she never returned. Despite there being around 4/5 waiters in the outside area we never actually got to speak to anyone to order any drinks, let alone the meal that we had planned when we booked earlier that day.

Booked online so didn’t see the interior till we arrived. Although we were greeted outside and filled in the track and trace details and applied sanitizer, inside the pub it was like nothing had changed since February. Curtains were hanging off the rails lying all over the sills on two windows,pictures lopsided. It felt like the day after a heavy night,The tables and floor were dirty, the cutlery was handed over without any regard to trying to prevent cross contamination. We both ordered steaks medium rare which were cooked properly and tasty but the thrice cooked chips described on the menu were large wedges of undercooked mush which more closely resembled half cooked potato wedges. Service was slow even though the pub was by no means full. A very unpleasant evening .

I reviewed the Greyhound last in 2014 and have been a regular since. I have however noticed that things are on the decline. For starters the prices have crept up and are no longer value for money.
Also the quality of the food has slipped. The meat used isn't the same quality and portions are really hit and miss.
Today I had a Beef and Guinness stew which had new potatoes and topped with puff pastry.
It arrived in a bowl equivalent to a breakfast bowl. Little more than a started sized portion.
The meat was tough, you could hear it between your teeth as you chewed through it. Two of the pieces had a great big piece of gristle.
Really wasn't good at all.
Previous experiences have seen the bar staff entertaining their friends at the bar during the day which gets a little rowdy.
It's a real shame as it's one of only a few all day opening places in Louth but having had a few less than ideal meals in the last few months it's slipping off my radar.

We went to the Greyhound brim full of culinary optimism based on a recommendation from a foodie friend. A great evening was surely in store. On entering this fine culinary establishment, we were met by a very junior looking member of staff who pointed us into the bowels of the cavernous restaurant with a welcoming speech of “Table 14, down there”
Finding our allocated table, we awaited to traditional request for our drinks order….and waited….and waited. Never mind we thought, it gives us time to peruse the limited , chips with everything, menu to the relaxing piped music that reminded me so much of my last illegal rave and my 18-30 holiday in Ibiza.
Eventually, fearing death by dehydration, my partner went to the bar to ask about the drinks service only to be informed by the aforementioned girl that we had to order such libations at the bar.
On returning to the table, my partner took on the role of maitre d and through gritted teeth asked for our drinks order.
It is very difficult to objectively comment on service when you don’t receive any and, as we left immediately to have a curry, commenting on the food was both impossible on this occasion and devastating unlikely to ever happen in the future.

Booked a meal for 2 in the restaurant, but was also offered the option to dine within other areas of the inn if desired. We had a shared garlic bread as a starter and steak for mains, all of which was cooked to perfection. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend

This review is not a reflection on the table staff, who on the whole were very polite and did their best when the wheels fell off last night.
This is a reflection on the unimpressive manager who hid in his office until I advised staff we were going to walk unless he came down to speak to us about the food we'd received.
We had a wait of over an hour for our meals.
It was not busy when we arrived.
Three of the meals were cold and unsatisfactory.
One in particular had dairy products that had specifically been requested not be included due to a family member having an intolerance to them.
This was taken back where the dairy product was scraped off burger turned over and returned cold.
This had to be returned again and a new meal requested.
This took another 45 minutes to arrive.
After discussing it with my daughter who was clearly embarrassed and upset, I requested the manager came to speak to us.
Various reasons were given for his absence including 'not being there' and 'waiting an important telephone call'
My conclusion was he didn't want to speak to us, so I advised staff, if he didn't show his face, we would walk.
He appeared sharply after that.
Following discussion and a somewhat heated debate, he conceded that three meals were inedible and we need only pay for two.
At least two family parties around us left without their food arriving either at all or inedible on arrival and were sent back.
Maybe as it was not a busy night the manager thought his presence was unnecessary.
I would suggest in future, whatever the day, he makes himself available to customers and assists his staff whenever they require extra hands.
As they did last night.
We don't expect preferential treatment on a night out, we do however expect a level of respect and courtesy.
We'll be finding somewhere else for an evening meal next time.
Kind regards to the lady who served us, who was basically dropped in it on the night.
To the manager, wear a shirt then you'll be able to roll your sleeves up next time.

3 adults and 1 small child had a fantastic dining experience . We had the 7 plates for £30 and were genuinely shocked at how fantastic it was. The quality, quantity , choice and price were superb . We could not believe how good it was and we will definitely be back! In addition it was served quickly and with enthusiasm . We also had a child’s Mini pizza which was really good . Thank you 🙏

Visited for lunch with 7 others. We did book ahead due to the party size. Got there and told just find a table. When I asked where in the pub was a table that could seat 8, as never visited before was meet with urm let me look. So much for booking ahead. We decided to eat outside, luckily it was a nice day. The food was very tasty and the service very speedy to the point that the table was being cleared as some of our party was still eating! Nice surroundings and lunch.

fish & chips ( was okay)
Chicken burger - small, bun was burnt, chips you couldn’t eat , brought new chips but this time we’re undercooked and really greasy so still couldn’t eat them (no side salad or anything looked basic on the plate). Kids fish was not haddock as the waitress stated the best thing about the meal was the halloumi.
Wouldn’t go back - staff didn’t even ask if everything was okay. Chef sounded rude to staff.

Ordered the pizza deal from the bar menu. The pizza was dry with very little topping, the chips where undercooked and the wine was undrinkable. When we spoke to the staff about our food and drink they didn’t comment and just cleared it away. This used to be a fantastic venue but sadly it is going downhill fast. We will not be visiting again soon.
