The Greyhound in Brentwood

Screaming kids running around. Would maybe use again in the summer

Food was mint and it was the perfect temperature

Rianna was a lovely polite server and the food was magnificent. Piping hot and gorgeous.

chloe was an amazing waitress for me and my family today

Food choices were extensive and what I really liked was the fact that there was a good range pricing, from very affordable light lunches food all the way to large dinner size meals. Atmosphere was nice and staff very friendly. I would say, on this occasion it did feel like they were a little short staffed as there was a number of times we were waiting for things beyond just the meals.

food was fab service was fantastic and i really enjoyed the environment with the fires

i really like the fact i could bring my puppy with me

Very nice pub/restaurant. Good selection of food and drink. Open fires for cold days, outside dining for warm days.

Cozy pub, perfect for warm winter meals

Lovely lunch with great service by Emily.

Always have a lovely time at the greyhound. Rory was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. The only thing I would say to improve is a better vegetarian choice but it chose two starters instead of a main

Fabulous - Rory gave us excellent service. Definitely come back again!

Great service from Eliza and nice atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Such a lovely and atmospheric old building. The staff were very welcoming, the food was first class, as was the service. We will be returning soon.

Lovely, dog-friendly pub with real fire. Added the following later. Came back a couple of weeks after the initial review after a nice chilly walk with mum and dog to warm up at a table right by the fire and have a light snack (beef brisket sandwich and a ham and melon, with some chips). The food was beautifully presented and the chips were the best I've had in a few years (chunky, skin on, really crispy on the outside and light and fluffy in the middle)

Great restaurant and great staff. Rianna was a great host

Great food, great service from Emily, and a lovely pub.

Lovely meal here on 2nd Jan. We’ were seated by the lovely open fire.which was perfect. The food was all nice and good value.. The man looking after everyone (might have been the manager) was all on his own with no other staff so while things took a bit longer we were happy to wait because he was working so hard managing the entire place . Will definitely be back . Thanks for a lovely experience .

The food is great and even though some items weren't available, I still ordered something that was tasty. Dogs are welcomed which is a great benefit to us as it's our Corgi's favourite establishment

Some Real Ales on offer. Got a bit cold when the fire went out

Emily was a brilliant waitress nothing was too much trouble and was very pleasant will definitely be coming again

Lovely meal out with the family.

Daisy was amazing and looked after us all so well - we had a lovely evening

Absolutely fantastic! We were served by Emily who was outstanding. She was attentive and friendly and we were made to feel so welcomed. She was a breath of fresh air. The food was fresh, hot and tasty. We will definitely return and a special thank you to Emily for making our visit so special.

Overall a bit disappointing. Lovely fire and lots of fluffy friends. Arrived at a time when it was a bit busy, waitresses seemed a little overwhelmed/distracted. Repeatedly had to ask for water. Ordered a main, 15 mins later was told not available. Had a dessert later, Ordered a cheesecake and a white chocolate dome. Later told no cheesecake, it's defrosting and chocolate dome was milk not white and when we asked about it they said sorry we ran out, which is fine but you have to communicate these things when you take the order. Overall lovely pub, but the service let it down.

A lovely gastro pub set in the Essex countryside just a mile or two from the A127. Dog friendly restaurant serves a delicious menu in a friendly & relaxed atmosphere. Had a very enjoyable Boxing day lunch with my Sister's family, our parents and our two dogs. Bramley apple & mince pie crumble was superb!

Absolutely dreadful . Had to leave . Booked Xmas menu for 5 . My prawn cocktail starter was off and tasted disgusting, the scallop starter was watery and pre frozen . Even the turkey isn’t cooked on site but didn’t even wait for that . Not prepared to get food poisoning from prawns 😡

DISAPPOINTED Booked 6 months in advance for a meal with my family for Christmas Day. There was No Christmas Cracker and hardly any Christmas decorations. It took 1and 1/2 hour for our starter to come up!!! And the whole meal which we had pre selected took 3 HOURS. The manager or staff never apologised or told us the reason why we had to wait so long. Unfortunately based on this experience I would never go back or recommend.

Arrived to be seated and then waited 20 minutes for drinks (one wine and one Pepsi) starters were nice albeit delayed and that’s where it ended, beef wellington looked like it had been put in the oven when Diana was still knocking about and the whole turkey dinner was lukewarm at best, No Xmas crackers even after asking for some and ended up getting desserts to take home as by that point the absolute shambolic day had gone too far. I did get a partial refund but actually feel like I’m due compensation for my time to be honest. If this review can stop atleast one family ruining their Christmas in 2025 I’ll sleep easier. Will NEVER return.

we had a table served by rianna today and she was fantastic

rianna was lovely very very helpful she made the whole experience verg enjoyable for me and my family

Very welcoming lovely staff great food. Great Christmas decorations thanks

Best pub in the area! Bar staff are amazing. So polite & friendly. The Sunday roast is perfect.

Me and my daughter have an amazing time together at the pub. We had dinner and was delicious also the staff was outstanding they looked after us all the time.

Good tasty food with excellent friendly service. Nice atmosphere, however decor could do with a bit of a refresh.

Our waiter Rory was fantastic. Very attentive, polite and festively funny 🤣. Thank you for an excellent experience 😀

Good value for money Nice food Slow service and some waitress training needed..

Emily was a lovely server and very attentive. Would recommend this pub to friends and family.

Beautiful country pub with open fireplace and lovely food 😋

Came for lunch, Emma was our waitress, fantastic service

Came for lunch and was served by Stacey who was very pleasant and extremely helpful

The starters and desserts were particularly outstanding. We enquired and were told these are prepared by the sous chef. Give that man a pay rise!

The perfect family reunion had here with great food and a great atmosphere, Thank you to our waitress Daisy for seamlessly attending to 17 of us with various different food requirements , We had a great night

What a great night! We booked a table at The Greyhound for a family reunion, we had not all been together for about 20 years. The pub was warm and welcoming with a lovely log fire. We were shown to our table by a young girl called Daisy who attended to our every need. The food arrived very quickly and everyone said their meals were good. There was 16 of us at the table but Daisy made sure nothing was too much trouble even serving us coffee just before closing time. So looking forward to our next visit!

Came in as a walk in for two and was sat straight away. The food was good but came out a little cold and not enough gravy etc. Good selection of beer on tap and so cosy to sit and relax. The fire and dogs allowed was great.

Nice pub in the countryside, 5 minutes driving from Brentwood, with a wide car park and a lovely atmosphere. We went for dinner at 8.30. Emily welcomed us and offered us to pick the table we preferred. The service was professional, kind and she advised us a very nice dessert. We will surely come back.

Nice pub with an open fire, lovely atmosphere on a cold November day. Food was good and arrived promptly. Ghost Ship on tap was very nice. Attentive service. Could do with more Gluten Free options on the menu.

Would definitely come back again. Fantastic service from Sophie, made us feel very welcome!

Another lovely lunch at The Greyhound. Wonderful that they allow dogs too. Thanks especially to Sophie for the fab service.

Excellent meal. Sophie our server was excellent.

What a beautiful pub. Me and my family enjoyed every minute of it. Great food, staff were so helpful and really catered for my son. Can’t wait for another visit.

Always had a great experience here. Matt and his team are fantastic very welcoming and we love the fact they are so dog friendly. We highly recommend giving it a go.

The greyhound is a lovely place to come and relax with your family and friends. It's got a great vibe. The cosy type. Home from home. Get yourself down here 💪😉

This is my first visit to this lovely pub the greyhound my brother in law brought me as its his local .. food was delicious and good portion but what my visit so special (besides my company) was the warm attention and service by emily

Came in for lunch today, lovely pub, friendly staff, great food and great selection of drinks, Rory & the team are great hosts

We are regulars at ‘the hound’ and can’t thank Matt and his team enough for the way they look after us. We always get a warm friendly welcome and looked after really well

Service still takes too long. Over one hour wait from placing order for Sunday lunch to appear

had a nice quiet meal and staff were very friendly.

Really great service from Sophie, will come again.

Very nice meal staff very good. Emily was outstanding

Amazing atmosphere and lovely food. Had a great time in the pub.

Wonderful food, lovely pub. Very accommodating with children

Excellent service from the lovely Sophie Great food, great service , great atmosphere Be aware phone signal non existent but good to be off grid If you have a dog companion then this is the place for you.. every table had a dog with them … really lovely leisurely lunch

We felt so sorry for the waitresses as the service from them was excellent but the overall service from the pub itself was appalling. We had a 1:30pm booking but arrived 10 minutes late due to traffic. The waitresses took our drinks order quickly but we waited a long time to take our food order. The place was packed and it was clear the team were struggling to meet demand and serve customers. Our starters arrived 50 minutes after ordering and our mains arrived lukewarm nearly 2 hours after we arrived. I spoke to the manager shortly before the mains arrived and was very disappointed with the level of service and had to give notice that unless the food iarrived in the next 5 to 10 minutes, we would have to leave and only pay for what we had consumed. It was very frustrating and annoying but the pub is just not geared up to meet demand. To wait nearly 2 hours for mains service from arrival and the food to arrive is not acceptable. Due to the problems we experienced, the manager kindly offered to refund us for the mains - which we accepted. This is all really unfortunate as we had visited the Greyhound a few years ago and it was excellent and had recommended it to one of our party as a nice country pub to visit. Very sad to see it's decline. In addition, the pub looks dilapidated from the outside and needs a fresh coat of paint and an internal refurbishment. The state of the front entrance door was an indication of what we were about to experience...if only we had known!

Good food, lovely setting , friendly staff and dog friendly

Always had a pleasant experience dining here, I have taken my mother out to lunch at the weekend on many occasions and have never been disappointed

Our server Emily was amazing! Very knowledgeable and friendly and very accommodating 💝 thank you so much greyhound! Our food and wine was also delicious. The fire is so cosy!

Love experience, well done Emily

First class service by Emily A great ambassador for The Grehound Thank you 👌👌

Food was superb and full of flavour, even the gravy had a little extra flavour. Nice quiet pub and staff are nice and friendly too.

Emily our waitress was great. We came in a few weeks ago now, the fire was roaring and the atmosphere was great. We didnt book but was lucky to get a dog friendly table. Food was really tasty, we will definitely return.

Very helpful kind service from Emily

My wife had her 60th birthday family meal here, the waitress Emily was definitely 5 stars - she was so lovely, helpful and friendly. She went above and beyond with the service and made the meal special.

Emily was lovely, had a great night.

Lovely food , great staff very friendly

Visit was very average . Think a shake up of the menu is needed . Service was good 👍🏻 Roasts are delicious but only available on Sundays . This is a dog friendly pub so have that in mind .

Food, atmosphere and our waitress, Emily, was wonderful. Very friendly, courteous and helpful.

This isn't my first review of this pub. It's a firm favourite of mine. I'd just like to give a shout out to Emily, our server today. As well as great service she made us feel very much at home, with friendly conversation and warm smile.

food was absolutely amazing the steak was cooked perfectly our waitress Emily quantock was so lovely and kind and Accommodating to my allergies and double checked everything, she showed me all the ingredients of my food which made this meal feel very safe for me and actually allowed me to enjoy it and relax a night out THANK YOU!!!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Amazing Pub Experience!** I recently visited the greyhound and had a fantastic time. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a cozy yet lively vibe that makes it the perfect spot for a night out with friends. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The drink selection is top-notch, offering a great variety of local brews and creative cocktails. We also tried some of the pub fare, and it was delicious—especially the burger. Can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a great pub experience!

Absolutely lovely pub with the best Sunday roast, get the trio!!!!!

Emily was our waitress. She was very professional in her approach and delivery very of our food. Thank you Emily
