The Greyhound, Sutton Stop, Coventry CV6 6DF

About This Pub

Ah, The Greyhound Inn – what a gem of a place down by the canal in Coventry. I've got to say, it's one of those spots that just hits the mark for a proper pub experience. The food is spot on; think juicy steaks, rich pies, and all that classic pub grub done really well, leaving you satisfied without breaking the bank. The team there are an absolute delight, always up for a chat and making sure everything runs smoothly, even when it's buzzing with people. That canal-side setting is just magical, especially if you're nipping out for a drink in the garden on a warm day – it's peaceful yet lively, and it's great that they welcome dogs too, so you can bring the whole family along. On the flip side, though, do keep in mind that food stops at 7pm on Sundays, which might cramp your style if you're out late, and it does get packed sometimes, so booking ahead could save you the hassle. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed catch-up with friends; you'd be hard-pressed not to have a good time, but it's worth weighing up those little niggles for the full picture.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The food is absolutely brilliant – fresh, tasty, and cooked to perfection, with highlights like tender steak and hearty pub grub that leaves you wanting more.
  • The staff are so friendly and hard-working, making you feel right at home with their top-notch service, even when they're handling a full house.
  • It's got a stunning canal-side location with gorgeous views, perfect for enjoying a drink in the garden on a sunny day – the atmosphere is just lovely.
  • They're dog-friendly and have a welcoming, cosy vibe, making it a great spot for a relaxed get-together with mates.
  • Plenty of parking and a good selection of drinks, plus it's easy to get to, which adds to the convenience.
Cons
  • Food service wraps up a bit early on Sundays at 7pm, so if you're after a late bite, you might have to plan ahead.
  • It can get quite busy, especially with its popularity, so you might end up waiting for a table or dealing with a crowd on peak days.
  • While the reviews are glowing, there doesn't seem to be much buzz about specific options for vegetarians or vegans, which could be a miss for some folks.

Thank you so much to the greyhound. Just amazing. Food was brilliant, service was brilliant. To cater for 36 of us all at the same time as well as other customers that had outside cause weather and views of the canal are amazing. Was for a retirement party just can not thank you enough. As I say brilliant all round. Amazing place.

Lovely setting, friendly & hard working team, great selection of drinks. We sat in the garden and had a nice drink on a lovely hot day and many other people had the same enjoyment. Brilliant atmosphere. We didn't have time for food but there were many people highly recommending we eat there. Next time, for sure!

Beautiful traditional canal side pub. Very close to Bedworth & really easy to get to. Parking at the rear. Very cozy with a fantastic atmosphere. Dogs welcome. I ordered food which was freshly cooked & of excellent quality. The steak was lovely & tender. Refreshingly, the white wine was nice & chilled too. I went for the lemon meringue for dessert with raspberry sorbet; I prefer a little more tartness to the lemon to balance the sweetness of the meringue myself so would choose a different dessert next time. But it certainly gave me a sugar rush to get me home! 😝 A very enjoyable visit & definitely recommended

Phenomenal pub grub. Went as a party of 3 and had the slow braised beef feather blade, braised steak in red wine pie and pan seared tenderloin which all came with mash/chips, baby carrot, baby leeks and rich gravies to accompany. All dishes were cooked to beautiful perfection; quite possibly one of the best meals I have ever eaten! Pub is situated in a beautiful corner overlooking the canal and there is ample parking. I will be back!
