The Greyhound has been tastefully renovated after many years in decline and follows the tradition started with The Brewery Tap (The Royal Standard to most of us).

On entering the bar, you have the main seating area with an inviting open fire in winter. There is a selection of seating including high-tables and stools. The rear of the pub opens out to an expanse of seating leading to patio doors and an outside seating area. There is also a handy mezzanine floor with upstairs seating.

Toilets are clean and well maintained.

The food is usually very good and although some of the prices (though not all) may look a little high, the portion sizes make up for it.

The staff are mainly young, energetic and keen to provided a good service.

Although the pub can get a little busy on a Friday/Saturday evening, this pub is highly recommended, particularly as there is free street parking opposite after 6pm Mon - Sat (4pm Sun).
