The Greyhound in Test Valley

Had a group dinner on the recommendation of a family member who lives nearby . Good food , atmosphere and excellent service. Not cheap but worth it . Nice wine list . Beware the low beams !

Delicious food, relaxed but luxurious dining experience with warm and friendly welcome. I met my friend for a catch up dinner, and we both enjoyed the food, atmosphere and engaging staff

Not impressed. We were expecting so much more since it was written up in the Michelin Guide. First table offered to us was between 2 groups who were loud and noisy. We asked for another table and did get it. Nowhere on their website or on the menu says there is a 12.5% service fee. Outrageous!! Roast beef was not sliced properly - too thick and the plate looked like a mishmash of stuff all thrown together. Very noisy place. Cod was okay but I have had better. overall we were not impressed with the food. No wine as the selection was poor. We would not come back.

We had a lovely mid week lunch with friends. Great venue for chatting and eating very tasty food. A very beautiful curated menu. The garden is a wonderful choice for warm weather. Service was efficient and friendly.

Lovely birthday lunch treat. Enjoyed all our choices from the a la carte menu, beautifully presented and delicious. Very busy for a Tuesday so we were glad we arrived early. Will definitely return.

Very pleasant meal at a very reasonable price. Had starter and main, both full of flavour. Cod dish for me was slightly over cooked and lacking in flakiness. Beautiful mussel sauce. Will try again.

Great food, excellent service and delightful ambience Car parking quite busy like most of Stockbridge, but overall very good value and a splendid choice on the extensive menu

The welcome, atmosphere and food were fabulous! Thank you for a super evening with friends (and for welcoming our dog!).

Food and service both excellent. Friendly, helpful staff, and the problem arising from food allergies is well managed.

We had a lovely meal and the staff were delightful. Service was quick. Nice that nobody said "Enjoy!" A minor niggle: twice someone came to the table to ask if everything was "ok", interrupting our conversation. I know many restaurants do this but it is very annoying. If anything's not "ok" we would have a word later, not in the middle of a very pleasant dinner. For a moment I thought " ah, the icing on the cake, no piped music!" - but no such luck, there it was, not even music but a faint irritating thump thump. But we will definitely return and will warmly recommend to friends. .

The food is always excellent, the staff are attentive and friendly. I had made a booking error and they could not have been more helpful, managing to accommodate us by rearranging their table plan in a fully booked restaurant. Dinner was delicious, we all ate different things and everyone was extremely happy with their choices

This was our 3rd visit to this pub. The service was excellent and the food cooked to perfection. It is a testament to the standard and quality over 4 months

Got off to a bad start with the front of house older lady having an attitude that frankly shook me. I was tempted to walk out. We had booked for 4 of us. Thankfully the rest of the staff were utterly lovely. On the set menu they ran out of 2 dishes but we were impressed that they quickly offered alternatives. The food was well presented and tasty, service was great. The servers were friendly and I was glad not to see the unfriendly woman again! She needs to remember we are customers and she ought to attempt being friendly to people. It has put me off going back sadly. First impressions are important !

Strange how the welcome can be so good and yet the dining room so dark; staff delightful especially the handy-man who offered to change out flat tyre; good choice of food with a set-lunch menu as well; most of the food delicious but the bream was over-cooked and tired; good and well-priced wine list but missing key components as they are changing suppliers; good coffee at the end but served before the desserts – really?? I’d still recommend and return to the Greyhound and hope for five stars next time.

Good food and good service, but, perhaps a tad too pricey for what’s on offer. It was awfully nice but starters and bugers for two with a glass of wine at £100…wowser, inflation certainly is a kill joy!

A good overall meal. We were sat by the door in the sun. It was hot, asked to move and the answer was no. The starters were good the chicken parfait needs more seasoning. The roast lamb was cut a bit too thin for my liking and the carrots needed topping, they were also gritty. Overall for the money, good. The service was brisk, although a bit sarcastic.

Very nice pub wirh great atmosphere, delicious food and super friendly staff! The town and landscape are worth the visit.

Lovely food in great location. Staff were very friendly. There was no children’s menu but made my son sausages and mash! Would recommend again

Nice meal, very good value for the set menu. Nice choice of wines and friendly ambience. This is a very pleasant pub/restaurant, right in the banks of the River Test.

We had the most wonderful 50th Birthday celebration lunch that made the birthday girl's day! The table and restaurant looked very pretty when we arrived, with beautiful spring flowers on the tables; we were quickly served Champagne and drinks and given time to settle before menus were offered. We were never rushed, but at the same time attentive waiting staff made sure we had what we needed. Lunch was absolutely delicious and we ate across the main a la carte menu and 2/3 course menu- everything was beautifully presented and really exceptionally good. I would like to say a huge thank you for making us feel so at home- it felt such a special occasion and you all looked after us so beautifully.

Very enjoyable evening The food was excellent, as were the staff We were impressed with the customer service and attention to the fact that we were kept waiting for a while to get our main courses. We had not expressed any irritation but the owner (?) or manager was very conscious and apologetic The ambience is delightful too

Delightful birthday dinner at The Greyhound on the Test. Shared the Chateaubriand steak, served with all the trimmings, with my wife and was a highlight—succulent and perfectly cooked. Paired with a nice glass of wine, it made for a satisfying and enjoyable dining experience.

A lovely pub/restaurant decorated to a high standard. It is clear they are aiming for up market clientele which is fine but it would perhaps deter local people. Polite as they are, the Landlord & Landlady just don't seem particularly comfortable as front of house owners. No small talk at all. It all felt a bit uncomfortable (you could almost hear a pin drop) as wannabe drinkers were told they couldn't sit at tables as they will be laid ready for diners who were on their way. One couple were asked to sit right in the corner near the loos. I would have gone elsewhere! The food is good quality although the Roast dinners we had were not hot enough. Also, a fairly small glass of average Malbec for £8.50 is just too much. 5 would make a bottle £42.50. Tut tut.

Delightful staff, delicious Food, with atmospheric decor. We had the Sunday lunch and the portions were generous and the meat was very lean.

Comfortable seating, food imaginative and excellent value for the prices. Service rather abrupt at times - Ethan the star of this show.

I live very locally to this pub and speaking to any friends from out of the area they are always keen to mention the good reputation of this pub. However, having lunch there I would beg to differ, there are many other places in Stockbridge which I would prefer to visit. My lunch was ok, not particularly overpriced for this area but a very average meal. My white wine was just slightly cooler than room temperature, but certainly not chilled. The food and whole experience was underwhelming. I ate the next day at the Boot in Houghton and the food and service there far outshone the Greyhound. Sad to say, but if you are in the Stockbridge area, don't rely on the hype, try another venue.

We had the set menu and thought it was really good value. The food and ambience was great, as was the service. Thank you team Greyhound!

We were looked after incredibly well. Fabulous food, great atmosphere and a lovely place to celebrate a birthday with friends

The booking was easy, the parking was easy and the restaurant is a warm, welcoming and friendly place to walk into. It is beautifully decorated and very comfortable which I think is almost as important as the food. The staff were attentive, prompt and very friendly. Our food choice was split between the Al la Carte and set menu. All the food was first class, well presented and hot. Of note was smoked mash potato, I would make a special visit just for that! Also of note was the marinated Trout. If I had any criticism, it would be that the menu choice was quite small but I can understand the necessity for this in a place that produces such good food.

Great atmosphere and high quality food. Very thoughtful service and totally dog friendly. Caring service with dog bowls and bed! A favourite restaurant and have visited many times.

I met with a couple of friends for a catch up and wanted to try somewhere new. I couldn't fault my food (fantastic flavours and appropriate portion size), which was from the set menu, and even had 3 courses, which is rare for me! We...

We attended a Steak and Malbec night and we were thrilled with the whole evening. The food was delicious and the wine was excellent, but the evening was made very special by the warm welcome and vibrant atmosphere. The Greyhound on the Test never disappoints!

The food was excellent, we actually chose the fixed price menu. The service was without fault and we enjoyed all 3 courses

Excellent as usual. Service discreet but attentive. Food never a disappointment. House wines excellent otherwise the wine list has some exceptional choices.

Beautiful location, brilliant food, staff very attentive and charming, food served very promptly. Absolutely first class

A bit disappointed with the food. We took the fixed menu and it wasn’t that special. We might have done better a la carte but that is very expensive.

Carefully thoughtful menu lovingly prepared and served by a team who cared. Our third visit , first stay over. Rooms comfortable and presented again with a lot of thought. Will be back.

Our lunch was excellent, the staff are so helpful and carering, the sun was in our eyes and they let us move to a shaded spot, menu, lots to choose from, the location is lovley in the beautiful town of Stockbridge, the Greyhound has plenty...

Had a delicious dinner here last night. The pub itself is really cute – all low ceilings, wooden beams, low lighting and lovely artwork on the walls. We shared two starters (the pig cheek fritters and the mackerel with wasabi, both were amazing). The mains – steak and fries and the cods loin with mussel chowder – were also great. The staff were sweet enough to bring us a plate of petit fours on the house as we'd booked for our anniversary which was a really nice touch. Perfect elevated gastropub food.

Always a warm atmosphere at the Greyhound Staff friendly and professional Steak night great value quality meal with a delicious Malbec to accompany. Choice of tasty deserts if you could mange included. Will go again.

It was a Steak Night. Steak was great , the inclusive Malbec was excellent, as were the bread and desserts. Great value, excellent service.

Prix fixe very good value. Shin of beef outstanding. Staff polite and attentive. Very romantic for an intimate date night.

Thank you team Greyhound for a fabulous private party at the weekend. We were a group of 16 family and friends coming together to celebrate my mother's 85th. The Greyhound team were a dream to work with planning our event and when the weekend came nothing was too much trouble. Our dinner, the front of house team and the bedrooms were all fabulous so thank you Becs, Bob, Bea, Jackie and the rest of the Greyhound team for making this milestone birthday such a special and memorable event.

Lovely atmosphere, charming staff, good service, excellent food. Prix fixe menu made choosing easy! No hesitation in recommending highly.

Excellent food and menu. Great atmosphere and good service. The menu has an excellent selection and everything ordered was very good

Superb food and service. They were also very accommodating of our 2 dogs which was lovely. Looking forward to visiting again next time we visit the area.

Great place to stay a night. The room was spacious if a little pricey and let down by a dodgy shower. Bed was comfy though and good facilities (Nespresso machine etc) Despite being on the front street there was no noise to be heard. The food is the highlight though so do take advantage. Dinner (food and wine) was really good and the breakfast was exceptional - best I've had in a while.

Great service and amazing food the crispy pigs cheek and duck were exceptional. Only one tiny point, my elderly father struggles with steps and there were no disabled access toilet facilities so we had to struggle with the steps

I have been here before for a large group celebration and decided to bring the family, as I enjoyed it so much the first time. The food and service were once again excellent.

Such a great place and Burger night is a must.

Really excellent food at a reasonable price on the Prix Fixe menu. Also they never rush you out of the door and the service is lovely.

Definitely the best cooked breakfast in Stockbridge. The details are right too eg a hot plate! Cooked breakfast and Hoxton's sourdough toast. Spot on.

Good service and tasty distinctive cooking. Set-lunch is good value. Tables are well spaced so ideal for a business chat without boring other diners.

Food and service were both top notch, would highly recommend to anybody. Were made to feel very welcome from the staff who were very friendly.

Excellent food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. I have had the burger a couple of times now and believe it to be the best beef burger in the area. Also thoroughly enjoyed the pork knuckle fritter and Japanese inspired mackerel dish

Welcoming pub atmosphere combine with an excellent kitchen. Efficient service from friendly and highly professional staff. Not the cheapest but value for money. You get what you pay for!

This was our first visit and we thoroughly enjoyed all the food. The staff were helpful and attentive and the atmosphere pleasant if slightly cold.

Top notch Sunday lunch. Sensitive to special requests. Great food, excellent service and very pleasant ambience. Not cheap, but proof as ever, that you get what you pay for!

Love the food here......have also had their pop up experience in Winchester as well. Preferred the eat in at greyhound but all food is exceptional!

Chose this pub for a lunch stop as we were driving down to Southampton. Beautiful pub on the high street. Staff very welcoming. Food was excellent, every morsal was a culinary delight. The Venison was delicious. Ate more slowly to savour every bite. Service excellent....

Parking is tricky. We found the last space at 1230pm and the restaurant was pretty much empty (although it was packed by 1pm and deservedly so). Maybe the locals use it when shopping? Anyway we were given an excellent table by a window by our...

Delicious meal, beautifully hot, and lovely efficient staff. Took our friends for the first time, and they will be back with family.

The ambience at The Greyhound is fabulous; friendly and welcoming. A lovely place to enjoy a delicious meal with friends.

Food and service were fabulous, unfortunately we had a window seat which felt cramped and cold (the wall was freezing and the seat was too narrow to put something between it and my back. Every time the door opened it was very draughty! Such a...

Lovely old pub by the Test in Stockbridge. Fantastic roast lunch - not cheap but one of the best around. Staff are always super friendly and helpful. In the summer they do burgers and pizzas etc in the garden in different days.

We visit the Greyhound periodically and as always it lived up to our expectations. The food was sensational as always, the staff incredibly friendly and polite and overall the atmosphere was just what was expected of a traditional English pub.

Booked a Twixmas lunch for nine family members in the warm and light Hound Room. We pre-ordered from the special menu which has plenty to choose from including fish and vegetarian options. Starters included devilled whitebait - suitably crunchy and well seasoned - and duck...

We booked the outside dome for a family lunch. Even though a storm was raging around us, we were dry and comfortable. The food was delicious and our excellent waitress provided us with VIP treatment and made sure we had everything we needed. 10/10!

Lovely pub/ restaurant with excellent food . Visited several times & always excellent . Good cosy atmosphere . Friendly service. Always busy . The only downside but not the venue’s fault - parking always seems to be an issue due to the popularity of village.

Cosy, friendly, great service, great food. Ambiance just right, so nice to be somewhere that gets the lighting perfect. We loved it! Thank you we’ll be back

Delicious food and attentive service a great festive ambience with live music overall a lovely evening

This place always delivers. Top marks for fabulous food, good service and great ambience. What’s not to like! We will be back.

Went there for lunch today as we had a voucher as a gift. The 3 of us ate off the 3 course lunch menu and the main menu. We mixed up the dishes and staff were very accommodating in us doing so. The pub is picturesque and the village was so pretty and decorated for Christmas. Great cosy atmosphere inside, with low ceilings, beams and traditional finishes. Food was excellent and varied for all tastes. Much attention to detail and everything felt ‘just right’ (eg. Even the milk served with coffee was hot and served in a dainty bottle - didn’t have to ask for hot milk). Staff were very friendly and attentive and made our visit feel special. A charming place to go for a special treat.

Outside in the pod. Lovely. Food was very good and the staff most accommodating.

This is the first truly gastro pub I've visited in some time. Many places claim the accolade, but here truly deserves it. The duck was beautiful, and the bitter chocolate dessert was delicious. I will be searching for reasons to go back soon. Highly recommended.

Food was very well presented and full of flavours. The service was good and an ideal winter location. A good range of starters and mains.

As usual excellent cuisine, and superb friendly and professional service from Bob and his team. We booked the 'Hound' room for a family Christmas lunch, and everything was perfect. Highly recommended, this is a quality establishment.

First visit to The Greyhound and we made an excellent choice! The whole team were welcoming, helpful and went out of their way to ensure our special celebration went smoothly. The food was delicious, well cooked and enjoyed by the whole family. We had a fabulous time and will definitely be visiting again.

Another great lunch… Tuesday lunchtime was very busy, such a great atmosphere. Staff are exceptionally attentive, without being over bearing… they are all stars. I had salmon for starter, then pork chop, both delicious. I finished with a salted caramel crème brûlée and my friend had a frangipane tart… yummy. A cheeky bottle of Macon made the lunch even more delightful. I cannot recommend this lovely place enough… so much so, I’m back in two weeks.

I am a discerning restaurant diner and The Greyhound on the Test was a poor and expensive experience. Though the ambiance was good, the service and food were poor. It is baffling why Michelin would consider it worthy of a recommendation, it seems no way good enough. Our waiter was sweet but inexperienced and did not know his way around the menu or the wine list at all. His wine knowledge was nil and could take our order only by number. The 400% mark up on the wine we ordered hurt a lot. The fish was badly overcooked, and served with the same gloopy sauce/glaze as the meat dish. The desserts were disappointing, they tasted and looked as though they’d been bought in from a catering supplier. A cheeky and hefty service charge of 12.5% was added to the bill. It ought to be discretionary. We came away angry and disappointed.

Lovely ambience, delicious food and great service. Calm and relaxed Sunday lunch. Staff attentive and friendly. Will definitely be returning!

Sunday lunch exceeded expectations which were already high. Everything was excellent; service, ambience and the food particularly so. All in all a high bar has been set and we will be returning!

Food was delicious, staff were friendly and efficient. Was a really lovely lunch treat. The pub was cosy and had a good energy to it.

We had a lovely evening meal as we are vegetarian we find most places we eat out in dissapoint the greyhound did not....we will definitely keep an eye on the menu and return when it changes as my only tiny criticism would be there was not a many vegetarian options... ..so we wont be back as frequently as we would have .....the staff that looked after us were fabulous so overall a very nice evening out....

Great quality food in relaxed environment in a charming village... Book early as it seems busy at all times.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch and our dog was treated like royalty. Brilliant service and atmosphere in this beautiful traditional old pub. I highly recommend.

We had a lovely evening meal (the weekend menu); the service was attentive but not overly so; the food and wine were perfect.

Very friendly, welcoming and attentive service once we arrived, although I did get a call beforehand telling us we were late and had booked for 8pm, even though my booking was clearly for 8.15pm. It was our friend's Birthday and they very thoughtfully did a birthday pudding plate for her however we were disappointed by the puddings generally. The petit fours weren't creative or homemade, and the chocolate orange yule log was definitely out of a packet. I was also served nuts despite having a nut allergy and so I couldn't eat most of my pudding.

We ate at The Greyhound on a chilly Saturday night, and ordered off the set menu. Unusual for a set menu to be all day every day, but the options were great and it's much more reasonably priced than the main menu. The chicken parmigiana with pesto spaghetti was the standout dish. Everything was quite fancy and a bit of a fine dining experience, which isn't quite my cup of tea. I enjoyed it but I probably wouldn't go back and I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.

We cannot recommend The Greyhound on the Test and Wilds Events enough. The team hosted an intimate wedding for us and the entire experience was faultless. From the moment we met Claire, she made us feel special, put us at ease, understood our vision for the day and made the entire planning experience a joy. At no point was there any of the stress you might expect with organising a wedding. On the day, every detail was perfect. Claire, Bex and the entire team at The Greyhound and Wilds Events were so attentive throughout the day of our wedding and the morning after. They made all our guests feel welcome, like no request was an issue. The Garden Inn provided beautiful flowers, transforming the already beautiful pub for our ceremony, and the Greyhound and Wilds team did an incredible job seamlessly resetting the restaurant between our ceremony and breakfast, whilst our guests enjoyed drinks and "the best canapes they'd ever eaten" in the bar. All food provided by Phil and the kitchen team was exceptional. Our guests were all wowed by the wedding breakfast, which was local, seasonal and brought out in a sharing style which got everyone stuck in. Rooms at The Greyhound are beautiful and comfortable, it was such a treat being able to get ready and stay at the pub that also hosted our ceremony and reception. We were so grateful to be able to remove all travel from our day. The riverside also provided the most beautiful backdrop for our photos. We can't thank The Greyhound and Wilds Events enough for delivering our dream wedding of an intimate and elevated afternoon in the pub with our nearest and dearest.

All four of us very much enjoyed the food, drinks, atmosphere and service. The Greyhound continues to live up to its reputation!
