The Greyhound At Yarlet - Stafford

We normally visit on a Sunday, for the carvery, but we decided to have meals off the main menu. Great value for money, food tasted great. We will continue to return.

We went with family for Mothers Day at 3pm at 4.20pm after asking several times about our meal we were told they didnt have one of the meals and didnt really seem that bothered. The meals that came out weren't their normal standard and a blond girl literally threw my plate down. It was a very disappointing mothers Day afternoon

My family and I went to this restaurant on Mother's Day for a meal at 5:30pm. We knew that they had limited food options, which was not a problem. However, our meals were not served together and some of them never arrived. One of the staff members even argued with me about my order. The blonde girl was extremely rude and had a terrible attitude. We frequent this pub often and usually enjoy our visits, but this was the worst meal we've ever had. The food was unappetizing and lacked flavor. Additionally, we observed staff members vaping in the kitchen. It's unlikely that this pub will last long with such poor service. The young staff members were disgraceful and do not deserve their jobs.

Great meal, atmosphere. We visited on the night England played France to avoid lots of people. As always the food was great. I had the 20oz mixed grill with peppercorn sauce which was superb. My partner had the Ham, eggs and chips and couldn’t finish it as the size of the meal. The ham was lovely. Friend had the full rack of ribs, he couldn’t believe the size of the portion. Great atmosphere, cracking food! Can’t wait till we go again

Christmas Day Didn’t think somewhere could be so terrible! AVOID Myself my husband and mother in law decided to go here for Christmas Day lunch. Our table was booked for 1pm. We arrived and were promptly seated at a table in the far corner of the conservatory where the radiator was burning my leg. I went to the bar and had to wait to be served, about 5 minutes, which was fine. I had literally just sat down when the starters arrived. The starters were basic but acceptable. When our mains arrived they did not look very nice and we were informed that the salmon we’d ordered wasn’t ready so we’d have to wait for that! The food was cold anyway so waiting wasn’t a problem. The sprouts were soggy and oozed water. The carrots were the same. The sauce over my gammon had a skin forming on it because it was getting cold. I just couldn’t eat it. The cauliflower cheese and broccoli with cheese sauce were warm but the presentation was awful and it looked really bland. My mother in law said her salmon was nice, probably because it was cooked fresh but the same soggy vegetables and cold roast potatoes. We ‘finished’ our main course and waited 45 minutes before anyone turned up to clear the table. A young chap, who obviously had no restaurant experience, cleared some of the table and then disappeared. It was then a further 20 minutes before a young lady turned up to clear the rest of the table. I expressed my disappointment about the food and service and that we’d been waiting a long time. I asked to speak to the manager. She did not know how to deal with my complaint but did get the manager. Well, this is where I really started to lose my rag. The manager turned up and said ‘well do you want any dessert?’ In a very obnoxious manner. I asked him if his waitress had told him I wanted to speak to him. He said yes but that he did not want to discuss it with me and that he’d speak to me afterwards. He then took our dessert order and walked off. By this time I just wanted to leave. The desserts turned up. The cheesecake was actually quite nice, undoubtedly not made in house, but my husband’s Christmas pudding looked like a very slim slice of Soreen fruit loaf with about two tablespoons of custard poured over it. There was supposed to be coffee and mince pies but I didn’t see any evidence of anyone in the restaurant getting these. Anyway, by this time we’d had enough and so decided to go and speak to the manager and the leave. We went to the bar and I was greeted by a lovely lady. By this time I am quite upset and she could see that. I asked if she was the manageress. She said no and that I’d have to speak to the same guy I’d already tried to speak to at the table. He came over and he just wasn’t interested in hearing my concerns and asked what outcome I wanted. He suggested that as we’d already paid a deposit that we leave it at that and they’d also cover our drinks. We didn’t pay any extra but his attitude SUCKED big time. He was just so rude and did not know how to manage a restaurant, especially on Christmas Day. Also smarten up your staff Mr Manager. One of your ‘waitresses’ had a hole in the seam of her black legging at the back which you could see her red knickers through not really something that I want to see when I’m trying to eat my supposed Christmas dinner. Your staff need training in the basics of waiting tables. You were obviously short staffed. As you did not give me the opportunity to discuss any of this with you, I am therefore writing it here for everyone to see. I know you said you didn’t want to ruin our Christmas Day but you did BIG TIME. We will never come back. It used to be a great eating pub but never again.
