Waitrose staff sleep well at The Greyhound

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Waitrose contractors and their managers finished the new store in Lutterworth on time for its opening in the town on 11th March. We’d like to think this was, in part, due to them all getting a good night’s sleep every night for the 6 weeks that they stayed at the Greyhound Hotel in Market Street.

Waitrose contractors, Carter Projects and their managers were well looked after using the Greyhound not only for their accommodation and dining requirements for the six weeks they were working on the store refit, but also making use of our conference and meeting facilities on a weekly basis for project meetings.

Ross Martin, Project Manager on the Waitrose Lutterworth store, commented – “Great service, extremely accommodating and very helpful. Thank you all.”

And we think the new store is pretty good as well!

Major Roads Lead to the Greyhound Inn

Monday, March 30th, 2009

We’ve always thought that the Greyhound Coaching Inn at Lutterworth is very conveniently positioned just 2 minutes from J20 of M1 and 5 minutes from J1 of M6 near to Rugby. The A5 is even closer.

For travellers using the M69 the Greyhound is 10 minutes from J1 at Hinckley, straight down the A5 to Lutterworth (10 minutes)from where you can follow the Brown Tourist signs. For any traveller(s) whether business or pleasure, heading North or South, the Greyhound Coaching Inn is actually so convenient it surprised even us!

Visiting the NEC, Ricoh Arena, Stoneycove Diving Centre, Stanford Hall, Donnington Race Track, Mallory Park, Coombe Abbey, and a multitude of other places….the Greyhound Coaching Inn is perfectly positioned to be convenient for your over-night stay and evening meal and your on-ward journey because the hotel is situated on the meeting point of the M1, M6, A14, M5 and M69.

Heading south to London for the weekend and need a half way point (or North from London)? At J20 of M1 the Greyhound Coaching Inn is an ideal venue to recharge your batteries, enjoy some lunch (or our famous Sunday carvery) or for evening travellers, enjoy an evening meal in our restaurant and a good night’s sleep in one of our 34 ensuite bedrooms.

For travelling business people who need to meet clients or business colleagues ‘in-between’ your business premises – the Greyhound offers plenty of space for informal business meetings or as a venue for a sales meeting, business meeting or conference. There’s amply parking at the rear of the hotel – just follow the Brown Tourist signs from any direction you enter Lutterworth.

So next time your travelling around the Midlands and you’re in the vicinity of the M1, M6, A14, A5, M69 – visit the Greyhound Coaching Inn in Lutterworth, 2 minutes from J20 M1. We’d be delighted to see you!

Conference and events facility upgrade

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

We’re pleased to announce that recent refurbishment to the Greyhound’s conference, meetings and events facilities is now complete. The flooring to the Christina Room has been completely renovated to include a new wooden floor covered by a removable carpet. This means that as well as offering our conference and meeting packages as previously we can now also turn the Christina Room into a function room for dinner/dance occasions, disco parties, salsa evenings and other special events.

The break out area, used for the serving of refreshments, just outside the Christina Room has also been renovated to include a fully functioning bar area and food serving counter. The upgrade to this area and to the Christina Room means that The Greyhound is now better equipped to cater for the conference, meeting and banqueting requirements of our clients. It also means that we can offer additional events, entertainment evenings and facilities for event organizing groups and individuals.

To find out more about hosting your event at the Greyhound take a look at some images of the new conference and events facilities, call 01455 553307 or email us.
