Greyhound Inn in Mid Sussex

Called in for a quiz without any team and was welcomed and included with such kindness. A great local in the true sense of community a with lots going on. .

Beautiful Sunday roast full of fresh veg, tender roast meats, home made Yorkies and loads gravy not forgetting creamy cauliflower cheese. Attentive punctual staff. Overall a real treat, thoroughly recommend.

A wonderful old english pub that is over 400 years old with all the oak beams and character you would expect. We went in first a Sunday roast and were not disappointed. Shown to our table by friendly staff. My wife had a vegetarian roast and i had the chicken. Both cooked perfectly. We shall return

Well, that was worth the walk in the rain !!! Just had the most amazing roast at The Greyhound . It's such a huge portion, so tasty and roast potatoes to die for !!! The staff are so attentive. If you are looking for a place to go for your Sunday roast,then head to The Greyhound

i am a local at this pub and come in here a lot,the staff is so kind,the food is great the roasts are lovely and a lovely place to eat and loads of choices to eat . Have sweets for people to help them selves to and free wifi not a long wait at all for the food would recommend. They also do a great breakfast!

Great pub for a drink, but the food is only passable.

Fantastic meal on Saturday in great pub with a really good atmosphere. The guest performers that we heard were excellent, a saxophone player followed by a Samba Drum band. Very entertaining! Keep it up, Simon & co. You're really making the Greyhound the place to be in Hassocks. Lord & Ladies

Oh dear. Went to have lunch as 3 families (11 of us in total) and from the moment we ordered it was truly awful. Rude, harassed staff, slow service and mediocre food. Despite saying we were together and wanted our food together - kids do not want to watch their friends eating - all 3 sets of food came out 30 minutes apart. So the first family had to eat and then wait nearly an hour and a half to see the 3rd family eating. Kids were kicking off and when we said ‘where is our order’ the waitress snapped that the ‘chef was stressed’ !! No apologies - treated with contempt. One cheese sandwich came with ham, extra portion of chips was missing, gravy had to be repeatedly asked for. It was only burgers, chips and pizza, not even roast dinners. Do NOT go here for food.

Initially came to the pub due to the Thatched Inn closing for food service. Looked what was nearby and picked the Greyhound. Service was terrible with staff not knowing the menu. 10minutes for sauces to arrive after meals arrived. No cutlery or salt and pepper provided. Ran out of one dish and informed after we had ordered. Burger and chips were terrible with the burger patty being one from a cheap burger van. Small portions and terrible quality. Save yourself some grief and get a better meal with staff that are competent and go to the Thatched Inn only 5 mins away.

"Proper pub" atmosphere, nice food, great beer and wine, and really friendly staff.

This pub is lovely in many ways. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. The pub had a great atmosphere but my word the food took away any desire for me ever to return. I was looking forward to my good because I saw sandwiches which looked great and gravy boats being brought out to those with pies which I thought was a great touch. But, after a long wait and some good advice from the person who delivered our food on plates so hot that we were told absolutely not to touch them- the food for both of us was awful. The peas were bullets, the sausages with the toughest skin were ok but I have no idea how the mashed potato was achieved. It tasted bizzare and I don’t believe could have been freshly made. The pizza was the worst I’ve ever seen served at a pub- the bottom of the barrel supermarket freezer type and garlic bread equally as low standard. I don’t usually complain and I wish I had the courage too on this occasion. I know the pub trade is hard but you must have some very kind locals to keep returning if this is the food you serve. I hope you consider the comments and perhaps improve the pizza and sausage and mash at least. Sorry but I read good reviews before I came in so somebody has to say something.

Really welcoming pub, lovely outside area and very friendly staff, highly recommend

Great pub, nice service, delicious beer, good food - what more could you want after a day of sightseeing. :-)

Just spent 5 days camping near the Greyhound. My mate, Simon, and I were made extremely welcome by the landlords and their staff as well as the regulars. By the second evening, we were on first name terms with many. We joined in the quiz night on Wednesday, coming 7th. Simon had a go at the open mic on Thursday. And on Friday, when the Internet went down, we were even allowed to have a tab that we settled up on Saturday just before we set of back home. Well done everone at the Greyhound from the Staffordshire lads, John and Simon. We will be back

Great "old world" pub, lovely well trained staff, it has recently changed hands and the new owners have brought the pub back to it's pre-covid glory. The beer and wine line-up has had a refresh to includes Harveys, Guiness and Beavertown Neck Oil on draught, there are also some great new world wines to choose from. Board games available in the snug area (to the left of the bar)!

We turned up at 8:30 and were able to eat. Really grateful that they were able to feed us and had a great meal.

Staying in the area, so dinner out for 4 was the plan. The Greyhound didn't disappoint, with unhurried service, friendly staff and good quality food. It ended up with pre-dinner drinks, 3 course meal and post-dinner drinks for around £40 per head. Good atmosphere, will visit again when in the area.

Lovely pub, nice people, nice food and very reasonably priced, very much worth a visit.

I took today tried the Sunday Roast at The Greyhound. I have lived in the area most of my life and always like a good place locally for a roast. The new owners have refurbished the pub and the dining area was clean and well decorated. The roast was excellent. Lovely crispy roast potatoes , three well cooked portions of fresh vegetables, homemade yorkshire and lots of gravy. I went with my daughter who is vegetarian and she enjoyed the nut roast. We had a side order of cauliflower cheese. The service was good. Friendly smiling staff. We will be back

There were 6 of us for a lunch. There was a specials board which appealed to most of us. Our order included Salmon, barbecue ribs, vegetarian tart, pie and mash and jacket potato. All of us enjoyed our meals. The service was welcoming and friendly. The food was well prepared and presented so everyone was satisfied.

I LOVE BEER!!!!!!!!!!! GIVE ME BEER!!!!!!! delicious establishment may I add. BEER IS SO NICE!!!!!!!!

Nice place friendly people clean and tidy e.t.c. Good range of drinks

Great little village pub, food pretty good but not so good when you have children jumping around while you are eating. Maybe kids should be allowed until 7pm . Not a good environment for children and it would be nice to sit and have a drink and meal in peace without them!

My partner and I visited this pub a few weekends ago, excited by the promise of a hearty roast dinner in a pub with new management. Unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. While the ambiance of the pub was pleasant and friendly, the roast dinner itself left much to be desired. Priced at £18, I expected a meal that would justify the cost, but sadly, it did not. This is coming from someone that's lived in London for the past few years and is used to paying this type of price. The vegetables served alongside the roast were really not great, both in appearance and taste. It seemed as though they had been microwaved with no seasoning and bland. The potatoes, while flavorful, were disappointingly dry and chewy, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the meal. I opted for the chicken, which thankfully was one of the better parts of the roast. It was cooked and seasoned well. In summary, the pub offers a cosy atmosphere, and we really enjoyed the range of board games, however the quality of the roast dinner did not meet our expectations. For the price charged, we definitely would have expected more.

Open Mic night was great fun, fab atmosphere and full of lovely people.

We booked a meal for eight people plus two dogs, only upon arrival the kitchen was closed! We had to wait half an hour for it to open. Although the pub / restaurant is supposedly dog-friendly, we were told for future reference that customers with dogs aren’t allowed to make bookings and must take their chances as walk-in customers only. The whole place was really dirty and smelly, the smell was so bad it ruined the dining experience. The landlady was very dismissive to the point of rude and told us that the pub is so busy that returning customers are not a requirement! No problem as I won’t be returning.

In the gentle embrace of new stewardship, I believe it's time for Google to turn a fresh page and renew the statistics. It's unfathomable to imagine a world where this establishment garners anything less than a celestial five-star acclaim. The new guardians of this tavern have woven a tapestry of warmth and jubilation, enveloping the space in a cocoon of conviviality. The staff, like stars in a night sky, shine with attentiveness and amiability. They are as constant as the North Star, adhering unwaveringly to their opening hours. The ale flows like a well-tended stream, its quality unimpeachable, and the fare offered is a delightful symphony of taste, echoing the essence of a quintessential country pub. What more could one seek in this haven of rustic charm and heartfelt hospitality?

We went as a family group of 6 for a Christmas roast. The atmosphere was pleasant and the service very good and welcoming. Our meals were very good, both the beef and turkey. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time for our conversations, with the staff every now and checking on our needs.

Great pub with excellent roast dinners, good ale and very welcoming staff.

My brother and I happened to walk into this pub after a hike on the Downs. We had been rejected by pubs in Ditchling, so thought we would take our chances here. We had to wait 1.5 hours to see if they would have availability, but they accommodated us, all the bar staff were super nice and friendly. The food was good also!

The food took 35 minutes to arrive! The waitress didn’t explain the wait time when we ordered. My husbands lamb kofta was okay and my sausages were okay but I was shocked to find that my mash was watery and unseasoned and I had frozen peas! We won’t be returning!

Just excellent. Still excellent.

I have been here quite a few times now with groups of friends. Always a good atmosphere and a good selection of beer and wines. Bar staff are always happy and helpful. 😇😇

Working out of town and advised the greyhound had a quiz on a Thursday. Rocked up and plenty of parking. Great atmosphere. Staff friendly and welcoming. Had a fantastic evening, will 100% be going back.

Overpriced, no heating on, even bar staff blowing on their hands. No drying facilities in toilet, won't be going to the igloo again

great service and food, very dog friendly

Just has a wonderful evening at the Greyhound, amazing food, extremely friendly and helpful staff who couldn't do enough to provide a positive experience. 100% recommend

Friendly pub with excellent food. Well worth a visit

Have not been here for a long while, pleasantly surprised. Lovely staff very attentive and professional,lovely food, very recommendable.

Heel vriendelijke bediening . Heerlijk gegeten. Gezellig uitziende pub. Groetjes klanten uit Holland.

Decent pint, bar tender was really helpful and chatty. Nice walled garden.

We were there for my ex mother in laws funeral. They opened the pub specially for us . They were very good and the food was excellent and was very nice to relax and have a drink

The menu is out of date on here..... Amazing food and great service but rubbish beer selection. In 2019 gave us a 10% discount for staying at South down way camp site. Lovely evening and initially 5 star. On return in 2022 no discount, food quality good but bit pricy, sadly no IPAs or ales at all. On Harvey's best. At least get some cans in, amazing brewery in Lewes and a microbrewery five minutes walk. Disappointing as it's the only pub walking distance to the camp site.

We had a luncheon at the Greyhound with 35 guests. Shaun, the landlord, provided me with an excellent select menu from which my guests could choose their meal prior to the event. The food was delicious, Vicky and Max provided a tremendous service, the pub garden proved to be the perfect venue. A thoroughly enjoyable time was had by all. Thank you Shaun

Very nice pub. Got talking to the barman about things. As atmosphere was nice.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Locals also very welcoming. Great atmosphere.

Very friendly staff, Back garden has improved but needs some LOVE ❤️

We had the pleasure of having our Wedding reception last year in July. The service we received was above and beyond. A day that will remain in our hearts forever. Highly recommended.

Great pub with beer garden and friendly staff

I visited The Greyhound on Wednesday 20 April 2022 in the early evening, a weekday during the Easter school holidays. I was with three other people. This was my first visit. I used Google Maps to find the restaurant, which was easy and led me straight to the right place. We were staying at the Southdown Way Caravan & Camping Park, about a 10 minute walk down the road. The pub comprises of a couple of medium sized dining areas with plenty of tables with full table service. It was very quiet. The team were very friendly and welcoming and I had no issues - we got everything we expected in good time and enjoyed the experience - we were well looked after throughout. I enjoyed a shared baked camembert for my starter, chicken skewers for my main course and a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream for dessert. The food arrived hot, was well presented and tasted good. There was a good selection of food and I found something that appealed to me easily. The food felt slightly overpriced, I paid just under £40 for three courses (one shared) and drinks. Overall I enjoyed my visit.

Warm and lovely people Fresh food

Lovely staff great food and a lovely pub well worth a visit

Wonderful family christmas dinner, wonderful chef, and an open mic and quiz every other week. Cant go wrong!

Lovely place, great atmosphere, very welcoming.

Great country pub. Lovely food, polite staff, open fire. Pub quiz and open mike night on alternative Thursdays...both with a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Cosy country pub. Good selection of drinks. Good quiz night.

Just been here and had a lovely afternoon with friends. We all had a roast for lunch. The chicken was scrummy, but the vegetables were very hard!! My friends said the lamb was really fatty and again the veg very hard and they really didn't enjoy their meals. That said the pub is lovely and the staff also lovely so would go again, though perhaps not for food.

Wow !!!!!! Absolutely 5 had roast beef dinner , to die for absolutely amazing gravy was so lovely beef amazing veg gorgeous Yorkshire pud was great too , definitely coming back again

A really nice country pub with great potential. Enjoyed a good quality ham, egg and chips and my friend had the burger. Both were very enjoyable. It is standard pub fayre but it's done well. The young guy that served us was also very approachable and friendly. Lost a star due to lack of atmosphere and the from the freezer, tasteless calamari.

Friendly welcome; great beer choice; cosy traditional decor.

Warm atmosphere, very good service and good reasonably priced food. Would definitely go back.

Visited The Greyhound, as a customerfrom outsidethe local area, at 4.45p.m. on a Sunday afternoon,02.10.2021., to find that disappointingly the Food had stopped at 4p.m. A Very countryfided pub. Within 45 minutes all the hired staff and 3 other customers had left, so I drank up and left also. Thought the draught cider at over £5 a pint was over priced as it was bang average for taste and quality.

Very polite and smiling staff, didn't eat but from what I saw food looked good. Will return if I'm in the area again

Lovely welcoming pub. Food excellent, hot, and value for money. An absolute must if your in the area.

A lovely welcoming local pub. Will go back again as the staff were lovely. Sadly quite a lot of lines had ran out when I went there and I didn't fancy eating but will give it another go for sure. Compared to a lot of the "busier" places in the area felt very genuine rather than just a cherning business.

Very good, food looked great but I didn't order, good selection of drinks

Empty,not much ale on, friendly and comfortable enough,just no atmosphere.

Excellent lunch cooked to perfection!

Very nice quiet pub, we didn't eat there so cannot comment on the food. The beer was nicely kept though.

Very nice, have visited before and had a meal, this time was purely drinks with friends. 👍

Not a rating - just closed on Mondays (Aug 2021).

Fantastic service, fantastic food at very reasonable prices, dogs welcome in the bar area , highly recommended.

Great pub with lovely food and outside seating. Recommended

Food is okay but expect dog hair from the black Labrador, Montey. He belts about flapping fur over everything. It's okay if you're a dog lover but others my not enjoy the extra fur in their food. The prices are fair, £10 ish for most adult meals, drink prices too. Service with dry humour and fairly prompt, not a bad place to eat.

Well lovely food nice staff pub to go to again nice to have different food but also got run of the mill food

Just such a nice place very clean. is it ok to say with out causing offence that the waitresses were fit, and the food was nice

Fantastic family pub with a warm and welcome atmosphere the locals and staff are very friendly Alison,Shaun and monty where incredibly welcoming The food was lovely and they went to every effort to accommodate us.

Excellent food. Warm and friendly service. Welcoming locals. Monty (pub dog) is so gorgeous and well behaved.

Witnessed drug dealing by a local I think or a tenant and obvious drug taking and substance abuse in the toilets. The Sussex police have been informed.

Very expensive but very pleasant atmosphere

Friendly service and lovely staff, covid safety precautions in place, prompt food and drink service, pretty outdoor undercover seating area. As a vegan, food choice limited (not unusual TBH) with couscous and grilled peppers of average interest.

Just shocking, don't believe the reviews. AVOID

Came for a Sunday lunch here for the first time. My husband was told he could not enter while wearing his face covering which is a snood type. They said it must be a mask. Government guidelines clearly state a face covering is something that covers the mouth and nose and can be a scarf, bandana, hand made cloth covering or religious garment,basically anything that fits snugly round the nose and mouth. The roast was average and was disappointed that even though it was £14.95 for roast beef they clearly used frozen roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. The vegetables were just about cooked so a bit too underdone for my taste. The staff were very pleasant but wouldn’t go fora roast there again.

Good hospitality. Food ok (i had steak)it could have been a bit thicker -i like rare and it was to thin to produce rare juicy steak

Lovely place, not too crowded and handled COVID concerns nicely (masks on in common areas, protective shields and temperature check upon entry). Food was good and staff were lovely but most importantly there was the sweetest dog!

I haven't been to the Greyhound for ages. Today was an impromptu visht after I'd completed a marathon run. I wasn't sure about the Covid arrangements & I was pretty out of breath from my run. The staff were so friendly & they've got really good measures in place to keep people safe without making a fuss about it. The pub looks really good, so much better than years back. Didn't eat today, just hydrated but the Guinness was very good & I look forward to coming back with my wife to try some food! Thanks a lot..

Good sunday lunch, with live music. Really enjoyed it, would recommend.

Lovely local pub with nice seating both outdoors and in, friendly owners who kindly let us park there whilst staying locally. :) Well worth a visit if you are in the area. (Well setup for covid precautions also)

Very covid aware, felt totally safe whilst enjoying a great pint.

We dropped in this afternoon for a couple of drinks. We were made very welcome and the staff (and Monty) were very kind and attentive (table service only given COVID but we didn’t go thirsty). A lovely afternoon.

It has been difficult of late to enjoy a family meal out. With grandchildren aged 4 and 7 many places are either too adult or lack quality fare. Our recent experience at the Greyhound showed how it can be done. Even during the obligatory temperature check the proprietor spoke cheerily to the children and quickly took us to our reserved table. Monty the dog was the hit of the evening and the children enjoyed playing with him while awaiting their meals. At 6 pm the pub wasn't full, it was a perfect time for a family of 6. The vast menu came as a surprise as so many places have pared back. The food came quickly and was delicious, followed by huge desserts. Every Covid 19 precaution was taken and we felt very safe, unlike many pubs I've visited it is being taken seriously here. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and pleasant. Unlike the Greyhound of old the refurbishment has resulted in an uncluttered yet warm atmosphere, a great place to spend an evening. My only criticism is a lack of vegan options, there are a few but more would have made this review 5/5

Simple tasty food, good service

Only went in for a drink but amazed at how much this place has changed. Warm, welcoming, with a lovely ambiance. Just loved it!!!

Friendly but not really what we were after in terms of the food. We had heard the pizzas were nice. The one my daughter had was not (so much cheese and not a nice base). The Yorkshire pudding with my roast looked and tasted like one readymade; I was disappointed because we had just been told everything is made fresh.

Good service, comfortable and newly decorated inside with smart modern look. Waitress was helpful and very cheerful. Food was good and reasonably priced. I forgot to tip at the end for which I apologise.

This is a difficult one, my husband really wasn't keen on this place as they have dogs walking freely around the bar and restaurant whilst we were eating (he isn't an animal lover). The pub dog was well behaved and didn't bother anyone, but the doggy smell was slightly off putting...The Ale was off, but this was quickly taken off our bill. Service was above average and they took the time to talk us through the covid layout and the menu. The food was nice, which is a really basic thing to say, but that was about it. Will try again one evening to see if we caught them on an off day.

Well set up for the 'new normal'. Food was excellent. Definitely recommend for meal and / or a drink.

Brilliant food, great atmosphere and fantastic staff. Would highly recommend.

After a day hiking over the southdowns, we called into the Greyhound Inn, food was just amazing, the building itself is just lovely, and the staff, from the landlady down to all the staff we met, they are just so attentive, friendly and welcoming. Our dog got to play with Monty the pub dog in the walled garden and the locals are welcoming too. All in all, a place recommended to visit.

Just been to the Greyhound for the first time since it re-opened. I have to say the set up was brilliantly organised, well spaced and staff welcoming as always. It looks like they’ve used the time to spruce up the place and it was lovely to be able to eat outside in the sunshine. I look forward to going again soon. Thanks especially to Millie for making us forget it wasn’t quite business as usual.
