The Greyhound in St Edmundsbury

Great Indian food, also contemporary menu as well. Warm and friendly atmosphere

Nice pub friendly people but no food so in my opinion pitty as cheaper to have a bottle of drink in my own garden than pub prices and with barrow up the road shall take my service there for food and drinks

I stop at the Greyhound by chance and found a true gem A true country pub with great staff All the locals was very friendly and welcoming

Found the Greyhound pub in chevington by chance What a great pub with friendly staff and locals highly recommend

So nice to have our local back open and nice to receive a lovely welcome from people that really care you are there. New owners doing a fantastic job. New ideas, great prices and a clean and inviting place to be.

Re-opened recently after much work a deep clean. Four real ales, in great condition and a friendly welcome from Fred. No food yet but busy on a Tues evening in the lovely beer garden.

This pub is a rural village freehold freehouse and therefore has the ability to buy beer from anywhere and offer a great deal to clientele but not this place it just rips them off with more than London prices, the other pubs in the area one being tenants is far better value as is the freehouse a little further away in a very affluent village much better value. A real shame such a money grabbing bunch have bought this pub.

Not a wide range of food and very limited service due ti limited workers ut the few there were very nice and the atmosphere feels like a proper old pub and the roast was amazing

Indian food should NEVER be cooked by an English chef unless they've lived/worked in India for a lifetime... our meal was just awful... the lamb madras was grey and flavourless... the stuffed paratha was wet and warm... not flaky and hot... the price for our meal was for the portion size extortionate!!! If you're not bothered by authentic Indian food, then this is the place for you.. we are, and it was just the worst we've ever had.. say it as you see it .. and we are... sorry!!!

Visited for Sunday lunch , it was lovely, quick service , polite staff , and a good price .👍

Best samosa you'll eat outside of India. The curries are stunning also

Just had a lovely Sunday roast at the Greyhound. Excellent service and food lovely. Also do a great variety of Curries from mild to hot ! Staff friendly and attentive. Once you have eaten there you will want to go again and again.

Having lived in Bradford for many years, I wouldn't say it was the best curry I've had but it was very good, very fresh and authentic, clearly made from scratch.

Best curry ever! Highly recommend going here

First visit was very pleased with service atmosphere and curry's choices was fantastic would definitely recommend and visit again

We really enjoyed our first meal at The Greyhound. Excellent Indian food. Drinks also good. Very accommodating. I recommend booking as we were fortunate to get the last available table. Great to see it busy and popular. Very clean. And has a resident cat 🐈 We'll be back for sure.

The best curry in Suffolk. We have been going to the Greyhound in Chevington for years, often on a weekly basis. The pub is in an out of the way village near Bury St Edmunds and the lovely team there serve great beer and great curry - what more can you ask for. I kid you not the curries are much better than what you find in a good Indian restaurant, and great value. Highly recommended.

Called in on off-chance today Sunday had Roast chicken, absolutely delicious. 5 star .Thank you

The curries they serve there are the best me and my partner travel down from Leeds for one of those currys

Great place very friendly staff

Pub up for sale, had a look around site. Quite small, history as a curry specialist, in family for yonks. New bungalow right against car park, access thru the car park, owned by family would not buy with past landlords as neighbours - can you imagine the friction!

Best pub ever. The curry is delish!!! Try them all. If you are not sure what to get they will chat about options and help you decide. The butter chicken is one of our favs. Their heat rating is 2 star to 12 star. Family owned business for over 30 years

This is the place to go to get a great curry. Over the years, we have always had fantastic food. Nice people too :-)

Unique and awsome, food is amazing and well worth a visit, curry's are so good!

Really great family run pub with a relaxed atmosphere. Lovely pint of Guiness and delicious curry from a great selection. Impeccable service. Must go there more often.

Great food great welcome as always

Excellent, authentic curry, ales well kept. Good, jolly service - very good local pub.

Decided to try this based on favorable reviews - unfortunately won't be going back. Basic old-fashioned pub. Barman somewhat unwelcoming. Atmosphere okay. Gin & tonic fine. Wine not sufficiently chilled when initially served. One server personable, other server somewhat taciturn. Poppadoms claggy - undercooked? stale? Main dish overcooked, bland & watery - cooked from frozen? been in freezer too long? Side dish okay. Rice & naan bland. Very overpriced. Would recommend trying somewhere else. Perhaps the beer is better.

Food was amazing and a lovely little run pub owners and staff were lovely

Indian style dishes of a quality unattainable by Indian restaurants within a 20 mile radius.

Friendly pub with the best curries in the local area. Been going here for years and not a bad meal in the whole time.

Fabulous curry in a lovely country pub.

Amazing authentic curries. Also home made cheese cake which was stunning.

Food top class. Best curries of anywhere in the area. Friendly staff&landlord.

Excellent service and the roast was lovely.... see you again soon

Charming village pub with beautiful traditional interior. Brilliant curries and good local beer. Can't recommend more highly!

Dear reviewers try The Taj Restaurant 10 Carlton Parade Orpington BR6 0JB food is fantastic

It's so convenient having a village pub with such great food and staff. The atmosphere is very inviting and they really make you feel like one of the locals here.

Nice snug pub good Curry's on offer.

Really lovely pub. Our first visit and made very welcome. I would definitely recommend the fantastic Indian food

Been coming to the Greyhound for 30 plus years.... still run by the same family food is great

Excellent. Good food, well cooked. Great beer. What more do you need. Thank you for a great experience.

If you enjoy a good curry, this pub is a must ! So many to choose from you will be hard pressed to decide ! The service is excellent and very friendly. A lovely cosy pub with a wonderful menu, as well as the variety of curries they also do other food. You can also get a takeaway from here too. Will definitely go back again and again.

A traditional rural looking pub – however, Indian food their main speciality. Some British pub food is available, but the focus is Indian. We ordered Chicken Schnitzel and chips, which was nice, as we’d had Indian food the day before. But wished we’d ordered from the Indian menu as the smells emanating from the kitchen were wonderful. The pub was quite busy with take away orders of Indian food and those coming in to dine. The service was friendly.

Very nice curry, with a brilliant menu and selection

We visited the Greyhound for a birthday meal. The atmosphere is very friendly and relaxed. The variety of curries on offer made it difficult to choose. The food was delicious and very filling. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly and helpful. The ice cream was delicious. I will definitely visit this pub again.

There are multiple reasons why you can go to a restaurant, our 3 most important are; the cosy atmosphere, the luxury of being served instead of doing it yourself or simply the joy of tasting great food. So if any or more of my 3 conditions is fulfilled I consider it a good experience; a reason to go back… Entering the Greyhound in Chevington, Suffolk, UK we were a little surprised. We noticed a great smell coming from the kitchen which made us already happy but we were told that orders are not taken at the table. Instead the menu is printed and hanging on the wall and you are supposed to order your food and drinks at the bar after which the food is served at your table. The wonderful smell from the kitchen made us to decide to quickly select a table and head back to the bar to choose our menu. I personally like a spicy dish but not everybody does… At the Greyhound they have a simple but clear system explaining their dishes; each dish has a number (rating) from 1 to 12. We decided to take a mix of more and less spicy dishes and were waiting patiently for the food to arrive. It took a little while but it must be said that at the time of our arrival 4 other groups arrived at the same time so after about 45 min our food was served and now it became clear where the smell, which had surprised us when we entered the pub, came from. The food tasted GREAT and the flavors were wonderful. Conclusion: The atmosphere is cosy, not luxury neither fancy. Although they don’t have waiters walking around the service is good, friendly and correct. The food is very good, very tasteful and (surprisingly) authentic Indian… and all this with plenty of parking. We were pleasantly surprised and will definitely come back here.

Excellent curry in a pub with well kept beer. Good size car park too.

The best curry you will ever eat

Very friendly local pub with a combination of Asian (primarily Indian) and English food choices. Wouldn't call the Asian food authentic, but it was tasty. Good choice of proper ales as well

Good choice of curries. Good bitter and friendly service. Clean loos. What more do you need from a country pub?

I don't know about anyone else but this is very different to any Indian curry I have ever had. This is a great pub surrounded by small villages and when I come down from the North East to visit my daughter, I always hope she suggests eating here. The staff are friendly and I think she's the landlady who told us her brother brought some of the recipes back from India. I've had a few different meals from the menu and never been disappointed, portions look small but that's deceiving, a couple of starters and a nan bread and you're full. The beer is also good and it's a lovely place to walk down to in the summer and very snug in the winter, of course I will be back, each time I visit daughter willing!!!

Had an Indian meal for two. Lovingly prepared and very tasty but I'm sad to say over priced for the portion size and the very basic no frills presentation. Would I go again? Probably not because all things considered, I've had similar 'home cooked' authentic Indian cuisine for elsewhere for less.

Lovely curries and you can get take aways.

This was our first visit, and first impression was it was a bit Heath Robinsonish, mainly because you had to leave your table to study the dishes that were on a card on the wall, instead of being able to be read at the table. But the landlord was very helpful in helping us to select our food. The food took a little extra time than you would expect, but considering that it was absolutely delicious, it was well worth it.

Very best Indian food in East Anglia great music spirit

Good food service a bit lacking

Good Indian food cooked in traditional style ,also great Sunday lunch. Family run pub with great staff and very good chiefs .

Two real ales on, both stellar, lucky us but one changed mid-dinner so we got a third excellent beer to try as a bonus. Onto the food. All the curries were prepared superbly, we ordered a range and were extremely happy with the different styles, which we shared. (The way to go with these dishes.) Finished with Thurston ice creams, always delectable. And an lively bunch of locals at the bar to complete a positive experience all around.

Absolutely superb value and quality thank you all my steak was wonderful and the 4 roast dinners I'm told were excellent and the afters were delicious we will be Back oh the ALE was. Perfect

An amazing selection of traditional Indian and English dishes. The fish and chips was amazing and the rest of the family loved the curries. Well worth going

We visited here on a recommendation from a friend. A lovely pub / restaurant family run for 3 generations serving Indian, Asia and traditional British pub meals. Our son had a Steak (mushrooms, peas and chips) which was really tasty, meanwhile my wife and I opted for dishes with a little more spice, one a Caribbean lamb the other Lamb Korma. Both were enjoyable, served with rice and we finished off with a Carrot Halva served with 2 scoops of Thurston vanilla ice cream. With friendly service and an expansive menu we will certainly add this to our list of must dine places near Bury St Edmunds.

Nice Sunday lunch and authentic Indian and far eastern cuisine

Always great food and friendly service. Beer good and ambience excellent

Fantastic selection of beers and Indian cuisine. Friendly owners. Recommended if you are in the area

£12-15 per delicious main and as Aldo Gucci once said "Quality is remembered long after the price has been forgotten". Great Curry, Great Beer and friendly family run pub. It's a real old fashioned proper pub; a truly eclectic treasure trove awaits you! Certainly refreshing to get away from the usual "Ikea with Beer" model pub that is so generic on the high street today. My 11yr old son loves the chicken "thing" schnitzel. And to those that have said that the portions are too small or it's overpriced, well I suggest that you should go for the all you can eat buffet somewhere more downmarket.

English menu is quite limited and ridiculously over priced. I'd only recommend if you're wanting curry or like to pay almost twice the usual for something else.

Muy buena comida india, pero las porciones minúsculas. El resto del menú es mediocre, pero los precios de tonto! Demasiado caro para como una rebanada delgada de filete de pollo con patatas fritas. schnitzel . . 15 libras. . Y no visitar de nuevo, ya que no es nada como relación calidad-precio. Es una pena porque la comida es bastante rica.

Hemos estado comiendo aquí durante años, pero después de nuestra última visita, ya no!

Muy difícil de superar el Greyhound. Buena cerveza, bien cuidado y sirve, junto con la mejor comida india en Chevington hacen de este obligatoriamente en cualquier tour gourmet de East Anglia. Gente encantadora, personal y clientes, todos ellos te hacen sentir como parte de la familia desde el momento en que llegas. Todos ingleses y personal, recetas usadas son el resultado de muchos años de viajar por La India, la recolección de recetas y técnicas culinarias de ambos conocido y lugares inusuales para traer los mejores.

Old rustic looking pub inside, which is lovely to see...

Great choice of reasonably priced curries and a pool table.

I love this place. The food is great and the atmosphere relaxed. A little gem for a cheeky curry! If you're heading over there on a Friday or Saturday night then you may need to book first. Enjoy!

Great authentic Indian curry. Serves a large variety of curry choices as well as English menu. I will use again thoroughly recommend.

Mejor comida india en el REINO UNIDO - En serio! A lo largo de los años he pasado un poco de tiempo en la India por negocios y este es sinceramente el más cercano a la experiencia real de la comida que me he encontrado fuera del propio país.

Este es un viejo pueblo tradicional pub, completa con caballos de madera y latón incendios. Estaría bien si fue sólo eso, pero este lugar es diferente. El personal de la última noche eran dos chicos jóvenes que nos cool considerada "la estrellas de rock". Resulta...

Recomendado para este medio rural, pub del pueblo para un delicioso curry en un domingo por la noche parecía un poco mucho, pero cuando llegamos nos saludaron cordialmente y dirigidos a una pared de opciones de menú, cada una con un número que corresponde al calor. Elegimos un par de platos de gama media y elegidos para comer en el bar para continuar charlando con los lugareños.

Me temo que decir que no estoy de acuerdo con el comentario anterior. Ya que está basada en entrar en un restaurante de comida india y pedir pescado y patatas fritas. ¿Qué es lo que cualquiera puede esperar que sale? Ojalá hubiera salimos tan pronto como él llegó también. Es un pueblo precioso y es un pub encantador y los propietarios y el personal son muy agradables para nosotros y nuestro hijo y son siempre muy acogedores. La comida es muy bueno en general. No soy consciente de que estaban persiguiendo ningún premio como el crítico anterior mencionado.

We were in Chevington because we were bringing my sister to stay for Christmas with her daughter and family, who live in the village. We arrived at dinner time, and decided we would stop for a meal somewhere on the way home, which is just the other side of Cambridge. We had heard from our relatives about the Greyhound's "superb" Indian food, we assumed it offered ordinary British as well, so we called in there.And more or less instantly wished we hadn't. Why we didn't walk out, heaven only knows, we should have done, because there was no welcome at all from the two people, one male, one female, behind the bar. The place was quite busy, and it's embarrassing to stand at a bar without anyone helping you and have lots of people looking at you. After a while, one of the locals took pity on us and explained what you did to order off the incredibly extensive Indian menu chalked up on a wall - frankly I don't believe any restaurant can sustain such a wide choice, certainly no proper Indian/Bangladeshi restaurant I have been in has offered anything like the variety. We both wanted to stick to pub grub, and eventually we were able to order fish and chips, we were grudgingly pointed at a table which wasn't in the slightest bit comfortable, and the food arrived. It was OK but would never win any prizes.But it was the attitude which troubled us. This is a large village, it's just outside Bury St. Edmunds which is quite a large town and I would never call it unsophisticated. I imagine there are not a few people who live hereabouts who commute to jobs in town. How on earth does a place with such an attitude survive?I've heard of "Here be Dragons".......this was more like a concerted "Watch out, here be strangers", don't have anything to do with them (as I say, there was one shining exception) and they might go away".Avoid this place if you can.

What a very welcoming pub. Great service had home made soup which was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble,will go back

Take it from someone who has pretty much visited every Indian restaurants around Suffolk: this is BY FAR the best Indian meal I have eaten in a long time. My usual favourite place is Little India in Little Maplestead, but since moving near Newmarket, it's a bit too far to get to, and I had not yet found another place serving this high quality food. The Greyhound is now my new favourite. The food is served cooked from fresh, none of the reheated sauce non-sense. Recipes are authentic and you can tell by how different this tastes compared to your usual Indian take-away or sit down restaurant, and by the names of the dishes all pinned on the wall as you come in the pub. Don't be put off by this place looking like your old traditional English pub, it's definitely not pub grub that they're serving there! We were truly delighted by the quality and authenticity of the food and the story that accompanies the origin of the recipes, which the staff will explain if you ask. They are a friendly bunch of people once you start talking with them. Seriously though, if what you're looking to eat is a good old greasy tikka masala, don't go there, you would not appreciate it. If however like us you want something rather special, at a really good price (£27 for 2 of us with drinks and poppadoms/pickles), then this is the place to go. You won't regret it. We cannot wait to go back! One thing though: it's a bit out in the sticks, in the small village of Chevington, in the middle of nowhere. The atmosphere in the pub with the crackling fire makes you feel really away from everything and homely at the same time. And if that's not you kind of thing.. They do take-aways !

Just moved to Chevington and can't believe my luck having such a brilliant pub within 200 yards of the front door. They always cook something special for my 9yr old son. Ate there last night and my son said "dinner there makes his week!" Always have a choice of varied beer on tap. Never seems to be the same one twice and it's kept exceptionally well by the friendly family of owners. It has an eclectic mix of bar furnishings, a real pub, not your usual "IKEA with beer" that most country pubs have turned into these days. Also has a pool table that they are happy to let my son use too. What more can I say but try it for yourself. If you don't like curry they do an amazingly good steak too. Enjoy!

Cosy, traditional village pub which serves food which is very different to (and better than) the usual pub fare. They do curries which are extremely tasty; I think the proprietors have spent a lot of time in India which has influenced their cooking. The dishes on the menu are *not* the bog standard ones which you see on every single curry house menu; however they are well described on the little menu cards on the wall.They also do a non-Indian menu - I had gammon and chips while my wife had prawn curry. Both were excellent. There's the usual range of drinks including a couple of ales on tap, I get the impression these change regularly. The beer I had ("Sunshine" I think) was tasty and well-kept.There's also a friendly pub cat. What's not to like? :)

Heard about this place through a friend who had heard about it being good from the people who owned it " ironically "One of the worst meals I've ever eaten! Even the drinks were not up to scratch this is 1 to avoid

We went for a curryfest treat at the Greyhound Chevington. Excellent food and great friendly service! All the curries are tasty and a large range of heat options are available. I would definitely recommend the onion bahjee and vegetable bakora superb! Great beer too always a plus!

Stayed the night in Bury St Edmunds and looks around on trip advisor for somewhere to have an Indian. Glad we picked this place. Was a little bit further than any of the other restaurants but well worth it. A proper traditional pub that serves authentic Indian, my kind of place! The people who run it are very friendly, explained how the menu worked and how they come to serve Indian in a pub. The food was faultless and very enjoyable. Would go there again when in the area.

Went for a meal as heard a lot about the "curries" AWFUL !!!! The beers where awful, when give them beer back they refused to take it. Would not eat again.

We are very lucky to have the Greyhound as our local, and go all the time. It is a proper pub, but their speciality is curries. The range is brilliant, and helpfully tells you how hot each one is on a scale from 1-12, and includes an extensive selection of vegetarian options. The onion bhajis are my favourite, and I HAVE to have them every time I go in. I've tried almost everything on the menu now, and expectations have been exceeded on every single dish. I have rarely managed to have a pudding, but I would highly recommend the banana fritters.It is advisable to book on Friday/Saturday nights as it does get very busy, but the staff are very friendly and accommodating, and will always try and fit you in. In the winter the wood burner is lit, and places for the tables next to it are in high demand, so if this is your preference, book early!The bar has a new guest ale on almost every week, which my husband loves. The pool table is in a separate room (it takes £1 coins) if you fancy a game during your visit.I can't recommend The Greyhound enough, it's so good one of the "locals" actually lives in Bury and drives out to it every night!

Haven't been for years, but so glad we popped by this lunchtime. I had 2 different veggie curries, hubbie had beef Madras. Nice rice & naan. Only negative, no alcohol-free lager, very unusual these days, especially given the remote location.

Superb Indian food, well prepared beers and fabulous value for money. Good for family lunch and dinner, local pub, frequented by locals. A big thumbs up.

I live local to the greyhound and eat there quite regularily. Be it take aways, popping in for lunch during the day or evening meals. The food is all home cooked and very good quality. The family that runs the place are very friendly. Overall a great little pub

The Greyhound is a cosy, historic-feeling village pub with a good range of beers, plenty of seating inside and out, and friendly hosts. What sets it apart is the food - Indian-style, prepared to a very high standard, and vastly different to the identikit selection of dishes that you get in a high-street "curry house". We've eaten there a couple of times and enjoyed it very much. They also have an English-style menu, which we've never tried. Definitely recommended.

Firstly let me say that I am well-travelled in Asia - brought up in Malaysia and Hong Kong - and I cook Asian food regularly. The Asian food in this little pub is AMAZING. Every dish is skilfully built with amazing blends of spices. I believe that one of the family who own the pub travels or lives in Asia and brings back recipes and spices. My favourite is the Goan Pork curry - not for the faint-hearted but it is to die for. Everything I have tasted from their Asian menu has been fabulous and I have been getting take-aways there for over 10 years now. At one time I used to travel 15 miles each way to get a take-away. On the wall there cards with descriptions of the dishes and rated by 'heat' from 1 to 10. There is a good range of vegetarian Asian food as well. On occasion people I have dined with have eaten the English food and that's fine, good pub food. Fabulous wood fire and there is a nice outdoor area. I can't believe this pub hasn't been reviewed before and I am delighted to be the first!
