About The Greyhound
Sunday lunch is the main event at The Greyhound, and the sunday roast draws more repeat mentions than anything else on the menu. The steak and ale pie runs it close, and when the sticky toffee pudding makes it onto the table there is rarely room to regret it. The kitchen also turns out a fish and chips worth ordering, and the portions arrive piping hot and generous. Greyhound artwork lines the walls, and the room looks out over the beer garden — a layout that works just as well on a grey October afternoon as it does in summer. Vegan options get a specific mention from regulars, which is less common in a pub of this type around Hale. It sits near Manchester Airport but draws a local crowd, and booking ahead is the sensible move.

Sunday roast and steak and ale pie

Beer garden and room design
Recent visitor noted sitting in the beer garden on a sunny afternoon before moving to a table overlooking it; walls adorned with greyhound artwork create a distinct character.
Fresh fish and properly cooked steaks
A German-language visitor praised the wolfsbarsch fillet as super fresh and the steak cooked to the point, with attentive and friendly service.
