The Greyhound, Stafford

An interesting pub design, as it lies between two parallel roads - it looks like a couple of white rendered cottage-style pubs, with bay windows, one terraced, that seem to be laid out in an L-shape. There are a couple of patio areas. It has been in the GBG for the last few years and rightly so. The interior has two rooms to reflect the design. The terraced cottage takes you into the bar room, which is in a white and eggshell kind of coloured walls, with white ceiling and a brick fireplace. There is a mixed tile and carpeted floor and there are a couple of TVs, though one wasn't on - the other has ESPN and Sky Sports games. There is a dart board and beer boards with current and future beers listed separately. There are old beer adverts and other pictures on the walls. The lounge also has a brick fireplace and is in cream and wood panel, with white ceiling. Greyhound pictures adorn the walls, with other ephemera and the beer boards are here also. The service is always fine and the clientele very mixed, and it is often busy. There was no music at any of my visits and they only serve bar food. Beer; tap stuff with 7 real ales; at my last visit these were - Broughs Blonde, Ossett Blonde, Acorn's Apollo, Dakota Golden Ale, Kelham Island Easy Rider and excellent Beartown Black Bear and Bradfield's Farmer's Stout A superb pub. A must - possibly, likely the best in Stafford. GO!

An excellent real ale pub just outside the town centre, and a regular in GBG, the Greyhound is usually full of locals enjoying a lively social life as well as great beer. They don't do food (other than snacks), so it's the conversation and the beer that people come for. As an outsider I didn't feel as welcome as I have in other Stafford pubs, but there was no real hostility and I enjoyed a great pint of Everards. Three other ales on but time didn't allow me to try them. I would highly recommend this pub as part of a town crawl, especially if linked in with the Tap and Spile, Kings Arms and/or Joiners Arms.

Tried this pub one Wednesday luchtime. Closed and no opening hours displayed. Let us know when open.

Great place to hang out and meet friendly people including staff. Good food at reasonable prices and extencive range of drinks.

Superb pub for real ale fans. Can get very busy at weekends and big football matches due to the bigscreen taking up a whole wall!!! Up to 8 beers on, from micros except for the old fogies that won't try anything else and they have bombardier!! Accent is on light hoppy ales supported by vast array of ciders(bottled) and fruit wines. Only 2 minutes from main street, a hidden gem (well it is now they have built flats on the car park).Mine hosts Steve and Bonita give you a typical yorkshire welcome "wheres ya money?". No food except the usual crisps and nuts and no duke box or machines.update: now butties and pork pies
