We have reopened the majority of our hotels - you are now able to book a hotel stay online. Find hotel

We’re really looking forward to welcoming you back and we’ve been working hard behind the scenes on the new Pub Safe promise to make sure you and our teams are as safe as possible in the pub environment you know and love.

Despite the government announcing Pubs and hotels can open, the following sites remain closed for now. We continue to work in the background on getting open in the future, so please keep an eye out for further updates.

If you would like to speak to someone about your booking, please get in touch with our helpful Customer Reservations team on 0345 60 86 040 during the following times:

Monday – Friday (9:00 – 19:00)

Saturday (9:00 - 18:00)

Sunday (10:00 - 16:00)

To see the list of hotels that are closed, see our Coronavirus update page.

We do have a selection of hotels that offer Dog Friendly Hotels. Please note that for the time being, dogs will not be allowed in the pub or restaurant. Some sites may allow dogs to be in the Garden areas where space allows pubs to do so in line with the social distancing guidelines. Guide dogs will of course be permitted throughout the hotel and pub.

To ensure that we can adhere to social distancing guidelines we may have moved the entrance to reception. There will be clear signage once you arrive at the hotel so please look out for signs directing you to reception or for hotel guests only. Our reception desks have been fitted with clear perspex screens to provide protection during the check-in process. There may also be floor signs to help you maintain social distancing in the event of a queue.  You will be asked to pay for your stay during check-in, a step we are taking to reduce the need for contact and to comply with social distancing guidelines

We will be operating a very quick and easy check-out service to provide extra social distancing measures. As you will be required to pay for your stay on arrival, this will require you to only deposit your key at reception on check-out. You will be issued with an invoice by email after your stay.

The pub/restaurant will be open and will be fully compliant to social distancing measures set out by  the UK government designed to keep you, other guests and our team safe. It is advisable to pre-book at our restaurant for lunch or dinner before you arrive. This can be done by calling the site directly or online. Search hotels

Our new Order and Pay app is also now available so you’re able to order food and drink directly to your table. Download in the Google Play Store or App Store by searching “Greene King”.

Yes, breakfast will be available for your visit at Greene King Inns. You can opt for a Bed & Breakfast or Room Only rate. If you choose Room Only, you may be given the option to upgrade on arrival, but this option is not guaranteed – subject to availability.  Breakfast buffets will no longer operate but we will take your order and serve direct to your table.

Breakfast times are the hotel may vary. Search Hotels for the most up to date timings.

Safety to everyone on our premises is our top priority in line with Government guidelines, therefore visitors are not permitted in your room. Any guest that are in breach of this guidance will be asked to vacate the property and will not be issued a refund.

On arrival, please use our social distancing markers when visiting our reception desk. A member of our team will call you over, once available. Seating in our restaurant has been repositioned to adhere to social distancing. If you choose to dine with us during your stay, we highly recommend that you pre-book a table due to reduced capacities we can’t guarantee a table. Hand sanitiser stations are available throughout the pub, restaurant and hotel. Maintain social distancing where possible in corridors and public areas throughout your stay.

Guests must wear face masks in communal areas and in corridors at our pubs and hotels.

We’re working closely with the UK Government to ensure our policy and procedures are always up to date. We have enhanced cleaning measures in place, we’re disinfecting all hand contact surfaces, reducing paper amenities, using anti-viral washing of towels and linen and frequently cleaning common areas.

Our teams will be provided with the appropriate PPE and have been fully trained of the new procedures that are in place. We are providing our teams with protective equipment so you may see our teams wearing gloves, face masks or visors. This is for both your and their protection, but we hope it won’t take away from the warm welcome and hospitality during your stay.

We encourage contactless payments where possible. Payments by Chip and Pin and cash will also be available. We accept VISA Debit, Mastercard and VISA Credit Cards at all our properties.

Call this number and we will advise further on the next steps in line with the guidelines set by the current UK Government. You will be entitled to a partial refund if you do not complete your short break. For example, If you book 2 nights but have only completed 1 night stay, you will receive a refund for the value of the second night.

See our Terms and Conditions for full cancellation policy information.

We are an unsuitable location for self-isolation. This is because self-isolation requires that the guest does not leave their room for the duration of quarantine. Most of our sites do not offer room service, and none of our sites would be able to provide room service for every meal occasion.

We also require our team to clean a room at least once a week (even with a long stay guest) and this would be impossible if a guest was self-isolating.

Once the guest has left the room, the room will be unavailable for 72 hours. It will then be fully deep cleaned in line with the UK Government guidelines to ensure that it is restored ready for our next guests.

Your booking is safe when you book with Greene King Inns. If you have a booking but we have to cancel it due to Government advice, we’ll issue a full refund or you can move your booking to a later date.
