The Greyhound at Tidmarsh in West Berkshire

Lovely country pub and stop off after a visit to the NationalTrust.

Good pint of London Pride and lunch was also good

Very good food and service went out of their way when I mislaid a personal item. Couldn't recommend them more highly.

Lovely building, bad roast experience. Pub dog begging for food, roast looked good but was very mediocre, and dry, not enough gravy. Felt like a school lunch. I don’t mind paying but for £25 a roast should be a lot better. It was a largeplate, neither of us finished.

Once again this Oasis of culinary masterpiece saved the day as the 1/2 way point on our 5 kw dog walk from our village to the next and back again. All 4 humans and 2 dogs enjoyed an amazing Sunday roast a few drinks and headed back!

Lovely little pub with great food. Had a fab little playground on the green opposite.

Sunday lunch. A beautiful Gin and tonic. Delicious mackerel pate. Provence rose. Exceptional roast duck leg with perfectly-cooked vegetables. Apple and cinnamon crumble with vanilla ice cream loaded with vanilla beans. Nothing to fault. Thank you.

Great village pub with friendly staff. We had Sunday lunch and it was delicious! Roast chicken and roast duck with mackerel pate to start.

Lunch stop on countryside ramble. Disappointed with a burger meal: chorizo when hoping for beef. Good outdoor seating and oldyworldy inside.

Mixture of ages and arrived at different times, staff couldn’t have been more helpful, we all had a wonderful lunch, relaxed and well fed, we really enjoyed our afternoon together in the greyhound. Dog friendly in the bar.

Had an absolutely delightful lunch here yesterday. Menu is fairly standard, but the food is absolutely delicious and the staff are lovely and very attentive. Steak sandwich with proper homemade chips and cheesy garlic bread were both super yum. Not your average Fuller's! It's a gorgeous, atmospheric 12th C building. Just be warned the carpark is tiny, but it's well worth the trip!

Positives: beautiful pub inside and out in a lovely village. We came for Sunday lunch with two families, we saw the sample menu in advance and knew the Sunday roasts were £21 for beef and chicken or £25 for lamb. Feedback: we were offered cauliflower cheese but weren’t told it was extra, it was £4 per portion. I asked for extra gravy and it was charged at £1.50 but want told it was extra! I’ve never ever been charged for extra gravy in my life. The potato’s were poor. One was black, and they didn’t taste like they were cooked today. Maybe frozen. The beef was ok, but a bit tough. So my meal was £25.50 and it felt poor value for money. I don’t mind paying that at all, but the quality was akin to a Toby carvery at half the price.

We popped into the Greyhound for dinner this evening. We had great service and lovely food (veggie burger and pie and mash). I must admit that I was a bit put off my prevous reviews but this wasn’t our experience at all! Goes to show that you have to give local pubs a chance to keep them open and we are glad that we did!

Great food and large portions. Even the starters was a good size. Not a taster like some places.

Lovely old pub. Friendly and attentive staff. Good food at a fair price.went with my family for lunch, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Brilliant little pub with loads of character!

Friday after work, great food, service, and atmosphere. Delightful.

Honestly one of the worse pubs ever. I have a family of five and often we enjoy going to new pubs and places together, we went on a walk and decided to have a drink which then turned into us having dinner here. All I need to say is hygiene. One of the most unhygienic places EVER. From the moment you enter to the sticky tables and dirty chairs, even the plates we were served on were dirty. Underneath the plate it was covered in food making me think that they were not washing plates in the dishwasher or just rinsing the top because tell me how all of our plates were covered in condiments underneath when we hadn't ordered starters. We tried to order desserts in which we were told that the Chef needed to go home so we couldn't. I understand that this is a pub and not a restaurant however if you are going to serve food and also charge me service charge I do expect a minimum of good service. The sad part was that the food was actually okay and I wouln't have had a problem if we were served with CLEAN plates and when I took it up with the manager he denied it knowing full well what had happened. As well as denying it he did not even attempt to offer some apologies or vouchers and was completely supporting his chefs decisions because they were "under pressure"

Very nice pub with the best dog ever

Really lovely pub. The lamb koftas were so delicious, the service was brilliant and the Guinness was top notch too.

Last minute booking for lunch for a friends meet up took us to The Greyhound. Used the online booking which was easy to use and confirmation immediate. We arrived half hour early to a wonderful greeting by all staff and a table quickly prepared. Food was first class, the staff friendly and helpful. Can’t fault anything, a truly deserved 5 star for everything. Fish of the day and pie of the day superb!

Went today with my son and had a really enjoyable meal. Recommend the cheesy garlic bread! I had butternut squash and goats cheese risotto which was delicious - I've actually had it a couple of times as I like it so much. My son had a burger with rosemary fries, which I pinched quite a few of as I love them! The staff were very nice. The only thing was, it was a little bit chilly in there as the fire wasn't lit. Still, 10 out of 10 and we'll be back.

Extremely disappointing lunch and don't intend to go back. It was busy and there were no free tables in the pub area so we had to eat in the restaurant. We were the only ones in there but, to be fair, the waitress put the lights on and brought an electric radiator to the table but it was behind my friends chair so I didn't feel it. There was really nothing on the main menu that we fancied since it all seemed to be pies or burgers so we settled for a starter and a desert. I wanted lamb kofta but was told there were none left so my friend and I settled for duck pate with sourdough toast and chutney. The pate was quite tasty but came with two small pieces of toast which I'm not at all convinced were sourdough, and plainly not enough, and no butter. The toast was gone in seconds so we asked if we could have some more bread or toast as we both had quite a bit of pate left. The waitress came back some time later with what was basically one piece of bread cut up into small triangles for which we found we had been charged an extra £2. 10% service charge added as well but for what we do not know since it's fairly impossible to go to a pub or restaurant and eat without someone serving you. We should have complained but there was one young girl struggling to process the payment while being chastised by the waitress about using the wrong till. We just wanted to leave.

Excellent service and the food was amazing! The restaurant is spacious, beautifully presented with a cosy log fire. Staff friendly, helpful and accommodating. Thank you for making our 40th Birthday meal so special - we loved it!

Disappointed with the food and service especially on a quiet evening when there were enough staff on duty.

Had lunch in this beautiful place, the food, the service and the ambience were superb. Such lovely abd friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Visited again recently with a friend, a bit dissapointing if im honest. The food wasn't as good as last visits, perhaps a new chef but certainly a difference. The rolls are far to thick and difficult to eat as a sandwich, the fish was a bit squishy if im honest and practically non existent compared to the roll! The plum/pear crumble which sounded amazing, wasnt really a crumble! the plums could of done with the skin taken off and smaller chunks and the 'crumble' was a soft brown sugary layer on the top which wasn't baked! It was dark and cold inside considering a freezing day, 1 tiny fire lit. Really quite dissapointing as have been going for years. Such a shame my friend didn't enjoy it either. Have to say though staff are always 'very' pleasant and polite 😊.

Burgers are amazing! Very pleasant atmosphere. Friendly staff. We were with granddaughter, and she was happy to stay here. Thank you 😊

Excellent atmosphere, food and service. Thank you 🤩

Great Atmosphere! People very friendly all the time ! Dogs are welcome !

Went for lunch with a friend today. First impressions were a nice venue but bitterly cold. There was no heating on and the staff seemed unable to successfully light the woodburner, however, they did manage to fill the dining room with smoke! So on to the food …. we both opted for roast turkey as it’s nearly Christmas. When it arrived it looked like a school dinner, a couple of slices of round processed turkey, very lumpy not seasoned inedible mashed potatoes, some shredded cabbage and peas, a disc of stuffing and a pot of runny gravy. Everything but the stuffing was tasteless and colourless. The one member of staff was pleasant enough but did not react at all when I said it was the worst lunch I’ve ever had! We were not asked why, or offered anything to compensate. I would not recommend or return any time soon.

Lunchtime 20th December. Food was atrocious, service very poor, atmosphere unpleasant. We both had turkey from main menu (since it was christmas week and there was no actual christmas menu available) turkey was tasteless, mash potato was extremely lumpy, disgusting and like wallpaper paste - inedible. Whole meal tasted bland and was worse than any school dinner. Cranberry sauce came in the jar, already opened, poor presentation. The restaurant was so cold we sat with coats on. Staff tried to light fire 4 times & smoked us out whilst doing it. Failed to light fire so we remained cold and couldnt wait to get out of there to warm up. No customer service whatsoever. When we said the mash was lumpy reply was 'oh sorry'. When paying we commented that it was the worst meal we've ever had but there was absolutely no reaction at all - no words, just a stunned waitress who was working the shift singlehanded out front of house, taking money, cleaning tables, serving food, oh and trying to light a fire! Service charge was automatically added - needless to say we asked for it to be removed since the whole experience was so substandard. Far too expensive for the standard of food and service. Had dessert elsewhere. Will not go back.

Waited ages for food, they weren’t busy. Food arrived cold and minus some ingredients. Lots of things missing off menu. Lovely lady served us and tried to make amends. People behind us were waiting for puddings and had to leave because they were forgotten.

Our "Go to" place when out with our dog and in need of lunch. I arranged to meet a mate with his dog to take advantage of the 20% off offer. Shared plates of prawns, arancini and dipping camembert, washed down with a couple of pints of London Pride. Food and service as always tip top.

Apparently just got flooded out, the carpets are still down and pub stinks, they have 2 dogs and I think they have been peeing on the carpet. There was one radiator on in the bar, it was very cold, probably due to the wet carpets. Will not go back

Went for Sunday lunch last week at 2 only to be told once seated that roasts had ran out, shocking. Nobody seemed to care and just offered normal menu which proceeded to take am hour for 3 of us. Staff giggling at the bar whilst we waited for drinks atleast 20 minutes. First and last time visiting.

Quite expensive but I do enjoy the Greyhound. Over £5 for a pint but the staff are friendly and it has a lovely atmosphere. A grade 2 listed building dating back to 17th Century just oozing character!......👍

We have been here several times before because we really enjoy the food here and the ambience of the place makes for a very pleasant time. This time, however, a "nice" lady with blonde hair corrected us several times because of our pronunciation. We are foreigners, having lived in England for many years, and had never experienced such behaviour towards us before. It was very unprofessional. Horrible experience.

Visited as a group of 10. Very friendly. Enjoyed the lunch. Beer was also good.

Majestic little pub with superb level for detail

I had the unfortunate pleasure of dining at the greyhound on Sunday 9th October. We were a table of 3 and all ordered roast Beef, when the food came out we had 1 worthless piece of beef which was tough as hell, it also came with no Yorkshire puddings. When I asked our server how much was I paying, I asked her to take it back to the chef and ask if he thought his plate of food worthy of the £18.95. The plate came back and I was told that the chef would bring me a 2nd slice which again was cold and tough. My 2 dining partners were not offered any thing extra. To top it all off, the cleanliness of the pub is not great, with a number of insects and pests being on the tables and in the carpets. I can honestly say that the pub is very over rated.

Ok food, poor service 10 minutes after being seated we went and asked for a menu which set the tone for the rest of the experience. Over an hour before we had any food. Overall not a pleasant experience with a 9 month old baby. Parsnips weren't fully cooked on the roast and my wife's Yorkshire Pudding tasted more like a pancake

We have been past this place a number of times and have been very busy each time. However, on this occasion, they were quiet, so we popped in for the first time. Inside is very quaint, but you do have to watch your head as the beams coming across are very low. The food was great, full of flavour and a real delight to eat. Quality condiments enhanced the food. I am sure we will visit again.

Had to wait quite a while for food (staff shortage?) but the food was nice (a roast) and the staff friendly and helpful 👍

We have driven past this place so many times and decided to pop in last minute... it was absolutely lovely.. my partner had the chicken pie and said it was one of the best he's had in ages.. the only noticeable things was he wanted more gravy, but thats his personal preference.. I had the chicken burger and it has definitely been one of the best I have ever had.. it was absolutely lovely and cannot wait to visit again! Such a lovely pub with friendly staff.. would definitely recommend to anyone!

Really good range of quality food and menu choices and attentive service. Recommend.

A lovely pub with absolutely excellent service. Such a lovely lady served us and we enjoyed the food and drink. Very dog friendly too.

Lovely burger and my wife really enjoyed her Greek salad.

Delightful country pub with tasty food and friendly staff.

Really really lovely. The service was so friendly and fun, and the food was great. Very cute old pub with a more modern dining room out the back. Highly recommended

5 of us went for a pre wedding day meal, we waited 1.5 hours for our meal to arrive which was only pie plus eggs bendik, the pies had been heated up so many times in the microwave that they just disintegrated when cutting and filling was tasteless, bacon on egg bendik had been burnt to a crisp and had the addition of a hair. We were offered a small discount for the quality of the food but still did not make up for what should have been a memorable occasion before my daughters wedding. Safe to say we won't be returning.

Pub smells of wee Staff busy gossiping Beer is. Ok Why do I have to submit a least a 100 characters It still smells of piss

Disappointing Roasts, parsnips and potatoes undercooked veg not very seasonal. Other food was good.

I had lunch at The Greyhound with a friend today and felt inclined to leave a review. I had the chicken burger and it was genuinely the BEST burger I’ve ever had. The food was fantastic - super fresh, tasty food and friendly quick service. Definitely recommend.

A lovely pub with friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended.

AVOID at all costs. Front of house staff just stand their giggling and gossiping and not serving customers, not professional at all. Over an hour wait for a couple of pizzas in a near empty pub and staff don't care and say it's "not their fault". Possibly the worst hospitality I've ever experienced. Never again.

We just stopped for a lunchtime drink. Very nice place, staff were lovely

70th birthday lunch for 8 people - meals were tasteless, colourless and overcooked. Staff were very nice but we were given nothing complimentary to compensate and no discount off the final bill. I would not recommend or return and will be posting accordingly on Trip Advisor and Google reviews etc The booking process was inefficient and when I rang to chase it up, I was unimpressed by the attitude of the man I spoke to.

Update: Visited again today, lovely staff and great food at reasonable prices. Lovely friendly staff with landlord chatting to customers and going extra mile. Yummy food, great interior, clean facilities. Will definitely visit again 😀

Great ribeye steak. Best pub steak in year's. Beers I tap are fresh tasting too. Overall it's a well looked after place, that knows what good food is. Nice service too. Perfect for shorties.

Would not rate the roast dinner. No beef left. Then there was not enough chicken left to cover the place settings for our table. Pork that came out was awful. Vegetables served were swede and red cabbage- where were the greens?? Parsnips undercooked. Potatoes rock hard- couldn't get the knife through them. My poor nan couldn't cut her own food up (how demeaning!) Chicken overcooked (or sat there for the day). Had to ask for extra gravy as hardly any on plates- charged for that. Charged for a few extra biscuits for cheese boards. Coffee was cold- by this time I didn't even have the energy to say anything. Then came to pay the bill and service charge of £21 already added on. Safe to say this was the first and last time we will be visiting. Such a shame as we are local and enjoy eating out as a large party. We were excited to eat here as well!

Booked a table for 8 today when we arrived there was no roast beef so we ordered chicken then there was not enough chicken! Had to go for belly pork which was so salty , I cannot explain how bad the veges were or lack of red cabbage undercooked parsnip and dreadful swede slso the roast potatoes had that taste that they were reheated up from being cooked the day before ! My mum who’s 85 said it was the worst roast dinner she had eaten .my granddaughter wanted a little more gravy as she hardly had any and we were charged extra on the bill and ordered cheese and biscuits as the men were still hungry and they charged extra for 4 small crackers so they could finish up the cheese absolutely disgusting, I am all for praising restaurants when you get good food right but this was the first time we came to this pub and it will certainly be the last such a shame as this is on our doorstep.

Had a lovely steak and ale pie with proper buttery mash. The staff and people there were super friendly too.

Went in afternoon quite quiet and peaceful.. Plenty of seating not a bad pint..

I was couple times there. Really nice and authentic british pub. If you want a great range glass of beer you definitely will find it there. The pub is very old, the interior has been kept as much as possible. Good prices and wild variety of food are a bonus. Always welcomed staff. Highly recommend!

Not a very good menu staff very helpful but food and drinks very pricey

Great little pub with good beer and friendly to dogs. Ceilings are a little low, so much ducking required.

Great Food.superb service. BUT very sad to see that Jo public are not supporting this lovely venue. Saturday evening get off the settee and get out for a meal at a lovely pub.

Lovely cozy hanging out place. Tasty and fresh fish and chips & gnocchi. Would highly recommend.

Very poor service. We waited 2 hours for our food to arrive and kept being told they were busy however there were many empty tables. The food was nice however we would not visit again.

Popped in for Friday lunch. Awesome Fish and Chips.

Went for lunch with the family, there were 11 of us. Food was great. There's a play park for the kids across the road, but the road is quite busy.

A stunning location for a well-known pub I visited as a youngster, We met a very good friend here for Sunday Lunch and it was an incredible experience... Living overseas it's been many years since visiting and was well worth the travel... Service, Ambience and food were absolutely outstanding !! Highly recommended !! Will visit again and again when back in England

Pleasant and helpful with high chair!

Super pub, with fantastic Greyhound "sculpture" on the thatched roof

Really tasty food in a lovely pub. On Mondays and Tuesdays they only make burgers and pizzas. On the other days of the week you can access the full pub menu. Just be aware that there isn't a lot of parking.

Saturday 29 May. Son and I sat outside in the sunshine. Eggs Benedict for him and the Squid for me. For mains we both had the Seabass and lemon risotto with buttered spinach. Bottle of Pinot Grigio. Food was excellent and so was the service.

We went for Sunday lunch - a motley crew of nine plus an eight week old. Staff were helpful especially the Ukrainian girl (slightly stunned to find at least three of our party spoke Russian!) mostly we had the traditional Sunday roast, which I thought...

Lovely place. Great service with friendly staff. Excellent food - pie of the day was delicious ! Would definitely go again.

Lovely food and good atmosphere

Asked about being dog friendly and they were couldn’t be bothered to help. Won’t be going there then

Great service and excellent food

Food is excellent, but not much car parking space.

I have driven past this pub for around 10 years, always thinking I will pop in one day. Visited last Thursday. Great pub with a relaxed and welcoming feel to it. Good selection of non alcohol beers (t-total since 27th Dec....an extension to Dry January!) looking to go back very soon and sample the meals on offer.

Great place great food but mostly lovely people

Pizza or Burgers on a Tuesday. Went Burger and was lush! Rosemary chips are very nice. So now I have had pizza and the burger on 2 different visits and both were very good! If you're driving (or walking) past pop in and have a bite to eat. As a plus, some good ales as well if your thirsty

Very pleasant atmosphere service and food.

We've passed by this pub many times and today decided to stop for lunch. It was a good move and we had a great meal. It is clearly very popular as when we left the car park was full.

Food was very nice shame the waitress was very rude and abrupt

Good beer friendly atmosphere wi fi not good

Not the best service slow. When food came was burnt they did change the meal but thought they could just change the bun 😡. Would not go back gave up on the sweet waiting too long and then they add 10% to your bill for...

Great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere in this historic pub. Would have give it 5 stars, but dropped one as there's no heating, just an empty fireplace, at least that was the case in the newer rear area at lunch on Sunday, so wear plenty of warm clothes and be prepared to have to keep your beanie on inside while eating!

Delicious roast dinners! I especially liked the veggie one too

The food was nice, the pub was nice, the staff were nice but the toilets are like a freezer!

Terrific fish and chips. The best I have had anywhere. Ukrainian waitress a delight and so friendly. Warm atmosphere with lovely fire. Well done.

Food was great Servers were friendly But the manager (I assume). Man who stands behind the bar, was rude as soon we walked in, made us really uncomfortable and the atmosphere odd as we were sat right next to the bar where he was. Not sure if he was just having a bad day, but don’t take it out on customers

We have been to the Greyhound several times recently and all visits have been an excellent experience. It is on lovely walking routes around Sulham and Pangbourne. A friendly welcome, great drinks and really very good pub food. Will keep going back!

The Greyhound pub is a very old, thatched pub with low wood beams and a cosy feel. There is a large less cosy feeling extension on the rear of the pub, for larger groups but the bar and other tables are in the old party of the pub. We had a warm welcome, the football was on for those who wanted to watch (I think this was just for the World Cup), the two points I ordered came in at £9.90, which for this area is very reasonable. We weren't there for food but they do have a full menu. Parking is at the front of the property, not sure if there's more, as probably only 10 spaces.

Wonderfully friendly locals, but without sufficient heating 🥶🥶🥶 and the staff seemingly more keen on cleaning tables than making us feel welcome, the overall impression wasn't even close to previous experiences. Past its prime?!

Lovely interior,delicious food,attentive staff. We enjoyed our visit and will back again. 100% positive experience.
