Just nothing to be unhappy about. Always great service, very smart and friendly staff. Great ambiance in the restaurant. Was there early for breakfast so not busy and staff gave enough time to make your choices before coming over to take your order. Didn't take long to receive drinks and in only under 10 mins did the food arrive, perfectly cooked, great quality produce and for what you get is great value.

Such a fabulous restaurant in such a beautiful village! I took my husband here for his birthday and we absolutely loved it. The food was delicious and the portions were generous. The whole experience felt warm and welcoming, with friendly and attentive service. A lovely setting, wonderful food and such a welcoming atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back 😀

A really wonderful meal. The garlic bread was amazing. And our pasta mains were so good, I cant wait to go back. They also do a lovely Irish coffee aswell. Friendly staff and the back of the restaurant is very pretty.

Amazingly this is our first time at The Greyhound. What have we been doing all these years! Great pub, brilliant atmosphere as soon as you walk in. Service was excellent throughout, food was really enjoyable. Proper choice of beer (hooray). All in all the four of us enjoyed a great night. Will definitely be back.
