Re: Been to The Greyhound yet?

We've been three times since opening and have every intention of continuing to support them - because the food was always delicious, the atmosphere lively, and as for the service and the attention we received they were second to none.

Ahrrrg - I didn't make it and now hugely regretting it. But thank you Stuart for the great photos. Yes the menu is amazing - and they do brunch....how clever is that! The Greyhound, the Poodle Club, murals, a new Yoga Centre: only been here 7 years but I hardly recognize the place

Re: #RebuildTheGreyhound - pub to be rebuilt by April 2015?

I agree that it all looks wonderful, and can't wait to support it. The other day a kind builder let me have a quick look inside (again!) and the look of those tiles...blindingly beautiful are the words I'd use. if the food is not that good (which i doubt given the draft menu) I shall eat peanuts wit...
