The Greyhound at Yarlet

I am due to publish a page in The Staffordshire Newsletter in the next few weeks with information and reviews on 6 businesses in Stafford. One of those businesses will hopefully be the Greyhound at Yarlet.

Have any of you been? I need a positive review (a couple of sentences will be fine) along with some scores, your name will not be printed in the Newsletter (unless you want it to).

Can you provide three separate scores from 1 -5 on quality of the food, time taken to serve and the cost.
1 = Very Poor
2 = Poor
3 = Average
4 = Good
5 = Excellent

I have been several times and not been impressed apart from nice place shame about the food. Last visit was about six months ago though. Kids had fish fingers which were burned, returned and then cold. Sunday lunch arrived cold and meat was awful, gave up complaining as it was ruining a good day. We have given it a few chances but now we just don't want to waste any more time and money. My score would be 2 the score is for friendly staff and nice surround.

Went this week. I was a lot luckier than labcm. Evening meal, seven people. Freshly cooked rather than micro blasted. I thought the menu was varied enough to be interesting, but maybe a little safe.

We ALL enjoyed the meal, good variety of veg with the excellent mains, the freshly cooked chips were just heavenly! As usual a bit overfaced so we left some, which is a shame, because it was really good. Last time I went was years ago, and it was awful, so I was really pleasantly surprised.

I would reccomend it, and would definitely go again! A cut above your average pub grub, and so much better than the brewers, harvesters, steaks, bernies, chill, micro, nuke:- serve poop. (about the same price too!)

4/5

I agree with gon2seed - I was there for a family meal a while ago, certainly much, much better than your chain pubs and many not-chain pubs, too...

Have eaten there a couple or three times of an evening - nice food, no problem. Recently went for lunch... bit of a disaster there. Soup was cold and went back to the kitchen twice (!), the crumble for pud didn't appear to have any crumble in, and the cherries with ice cream was pie filling out of a tin. Transpired that lunch time chef is a trainee. Evening chef is different. Possibly better to visit of an evening....!!

I went in November 2009 and i thought it was quality. Massive gammon, egg AND pineapple. Nice place to sit and eat. Proper pub food, no microwave use as far as i could tell. Quality.

4/5 i say!
