The Greedy Goose is set in Plymouth’s oldest building, Prysten House, in the centre of Plymouth. The building alone creates a very special & truly magical ambience, with it’s very own fine water well, a private first floor dining room, and a stunning courtyard, it’s a great spot for you to really be able to make the most of what we have to offer, whether you’re joining us for a light lunch in the beautiful courtyard, dinner with friends or family, a romantic night out, or a big celebration.

We visited the Greedy Goose for our wedding anniversary. It was quiet being midweek, but it was still a cosy atmosphere . Food was excellent, with a range of dishes. Wine list was varied and extensive. Service was also excellent. Definitely one for special occasions, but well worth it

Myself and partner frequented this restaurant regularly, & it was our favourite restaurants in the area. On this visit however the menu has changed (I know this is normal for restaurant, but there is a taste change in the quality of the food) or the chef has changed as there is a noticeable difference in the quality and taste the food... Don’t get me wrong, it was nice, but not the normal high standards & great taste we have come to expect at the greedy goose.

Delicious food in a beautiful courtyard setting. Good value for money for early bird dining. Tempting cocktails and plenty of choice of wine. The waiting staff were a bit rushed at times but they were as attentive as they could be. We will certainly go again to round off a day out in Plymouth.

What a lovely building with the most attentive of staff and gorgeous food. We both had the Crispy Duck Egg starter with hollandaise and asparagus, pea and broad beans with just a hint of mint....absolutely delicious. My husband had the steak and I had the Lamb Cannon, both meats cooked to perfection, meltingly tender and served with perfectly cooked veggies. A wonderful bottle of multipulciano...greedy goose choc mousse and a cheeseboard completed the experience....thank you Greedy Goose we will return.

A real gem of a find, cannot fault it. Exquisite cuisine. Portions just right i think, not slabs of food but satisfying and well presented. Unfortunately, we had ordered dessert but it did take a while in coming, so we had to cancel it as we had to be at the theatre for a performance. Shame. In busier periods, you may have to wait longer as the food is individually prepared and much more thought goes into it; so factor that in if your time is limited or simply book 30 mins earlier. Overall, highly rated and a wonderful, historical setting. Spoil yourself....
