The Greyhound Inn in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Our first visit for four years because of COVID and disruption to holiday plans. The pub is still looking lovely, just like a local should be. My wife and I both had the Sunday lunch, roast lamb. A generous portion, beautifully cooked, and not a scrap of fat or gristle. Large selection of fresh vegetables. When our plates arrived we both thought we wouldn’t manage it all, but we ate every last morsel. The family running the pub are very friendly and welcoming. Very highly recommended.

Popped in post a round of golf at West Bay. From the second we walked in and the warm welcome we received I knew it would be good. Landlady made you feel at home straight away. Cider was great and the food was fabulous. No brainer if passing through. Will visit again very soon.

Although local we've never visited this place but popped in yesterday lunchtime while running errands. Glad we did! I had fish and chips and my husband the macaroni cheese , both very tasty! Beautiful dog came to say hello too , a bonus!

We ate here whilst staying in Beaminster and can’t fault the food, value for money nor how friendly everyone was. Menu on line doesn’t do the choice justice as there were a lot of great value specials available too

Splendid Steak, Ale & Mushroom Suet Pastry Pie with fresh vegetables made a very hearty lunch. The staff were very hospitable and were welcoming. Spotlessly clean; it proved to be a most welcome find on Bank Holiday Monday. A very good and wide menu selection too.

We returned to this great pub with our two dogs. We enjoyed the Cottage pie and vegetable lasagna and the well kept Palmers ales. Always a friendly welcome and atmosphere. Suggest booking as always quite busy.

Visited on last night of our Easter break and sorry we didn’t go earlier. Wet, miserable night but had great table by window and roaring fire. Really welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff. Food was excellent value - with plenty of choice for all tastes. Everything was clearly freshly cooked and piping hot. Simple but not always easy to find in many places now. Hope to visit again when in area.

Nice traditional pub with a warm welcome and tasty food at a decent price. Just how a pub should be. Lots of specials on the boards too. Shame we don't live closer!

Lovely evening meal on a Friday. It was curry night, but we opted for the chilli con carne special and it did not disappoint. Great meal, good beer, and a lovely, friendly atmosphere. Muddy boots and dogs welcome, and there were a few of each!

Great pub. Excellent beers and very good food. Friendly people on both sides of the bar. The food is a cut above usual pub grub with a very good variety on offer.

We went for Christmas Dinner late in the month as we where going away for Christmas. This was Friday the 22nd and I think it was the last day of Christmas Dinners (and I was dinner number 297 served in December )!! As usual the service was excelent, the food was good and the customers in a festive mood. My starter should have been prawns in filo pastry, but as I cannot stanf the stuff I asked for Prawns in a Yorkshire pudding !! (I got it with some frowning by Gail). I followed this with Beef as well as Turkey, all cooked to my satisfaction. I can only ask that when you look at comment left by customers you also look at the number of comment they have left and how many over what length of time !! Finally all the best to Gail and Jo along with there small number of staff for all the great service, food and drink they supply us with over the six and a half days a week all year .

A lovely traditional local pub. Very friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing, served very hot and tasty. First visit but one definately to return to soon. Thank you

I went to this pub with my wife and neighbors for a christmas lunch i selected the roast beef.Bad mistake firstly the beef was overcooked and the roast potatoes were hard as bike saddles.The rest of the veg looked nice.I tried the beef and gave up and left the place.also my wife elected to have the veg option,probably very wise.I would suggest the Admiral Hood in Mosterton so book up first.You will enjoy the food here

as good as ever (even if my deep fried brussel sprouts are not on the menu). they have now reduced the menu, so now only about 30 different mains and 8-10 specials per day every day of the week apart from Sunday evening !!! For Saturday breakfast I had a change from the usual Full Breakfast and had Poached Eggs with a side of Deep fried brussels !!! Sunday Lunch was as normal (see latest picture).

Saturday Breakfast with an ex Mariner behind the bar. We seemto be able to order a pint just as the Copper needs changing (they sell a lot) so Darren ends up in the cellar more often than not. Full breakfast (not much plate showing, as they say). As I can only do 1 review per month on Tripadvisor I have to incorporate other meals in this one. Food good with a wide range on the menu and always 8 to 10 meals on the specials board. Not always have to book in advance but on certain nights (Curry night Friday and Steak night and Sunday Lunch ) it may be a good idea, even though the full menu is available on those nights as well.

What a great welcoming traditional village pub. We were lucky enough to be staying in Beaminster and wondered into this pub as it looked busy and had a sign saying “Dogs Welcome”. Well it’s not just the dogs that were welcomed, we all were!!! Lovely chatty staff and regulars. A lovely couple even bought our dogs a pup cake each. We felt so welcomed we went back for a drink another night and a meal and drinks another. The food was great quality, a great choice (even for me as a Coeliac) and very reasonably priced. Should we visit the area again we will definitely pop in and recommend others do too.

We had the pleasure of visiting The Greyhound Inn twice during our visit to Beaminster. The food was superb, the welcome was amazing and this is a must visit place to eat if you are in the area. There are places you visit where they get everything right and this is one of them. I cannot recommend the Greyhound highly enough.

Really REALLY lovely pub. Fantastic landlord accommodated us and our 6 dogs with ease. Great food and atmosphere. There was a time all pubs were like this (or most!), go, you won’t be disappointed.

What a lovely pub.. the kind you rarely see now. Homely, friendly.. with home cooked food and reasonably priced to boot. Lucky Beaminster.

Whilst saying in the Town for 5 days we had dinner at the Inn on 3 occasions, each time we were looked after very well and enjoyed all of the meals we had. Reason why we came back. Its really nice to see establishments like the Inn doing so well and this can only be down to the owners approach on running their business. The choice of local ales, a varied choice of food but just enough to suit most peoples tastes. We were always made welcome and felt as valued customers, each night the Inn was busy and its was great to see. We would highly recommend the Inn and if we are back in the area its a place we will be heading back to.

my normal reviews for The Greyhound usually include such things as Deep Fried Brussel Sprouts, but we are out of season now !! So we are back to the basics. Sunday Lunch was good as normal.(3 different meats or all 3 at once). Tables quite...

Stopped off a few weeks ago in the hope of a friendly, reasonable and relaxed meal and pint following a weekend of fully booked, restrictive pubs etc on the coast.What a delight - excellent service, great beer and attractive menu divided into large / smaller portions - ideal for lunctime.My grandaughter was well catered for , my daughter in law and wife thoroughly enjoying the fare.The local 'ladies that do lunch' were finishing off a good lunch.This place is very good at what it does - good food, good beer and friendly service / atmoshere.

A friendly welcome was much appreciated after a long journey down to Beaminster; Palmers Copper hit the spot and the Trawlerman's Platter was thoroughly enjoyed. Just what was needed after a day in the car.

We rented a cottage in the village and the Greyhound became our second home. All the meals we had were excellent, great selection, all home cooked and very tasty. Good range of Ales, from a local brewery, the Landlord made us welcome from the first minute we walked in. Well worth a visit or three!

I returned, following a very good family meal I came back and reordered... the lamb chops! Every bit better than the first time and the staff was superb, thank you.

A great pub with good pub fayre with very friendly staff. Lunch or evening great And dogs welcome too !

Visited with friends for lunch. Warm welcome and good food with plenty of options including a specials board. Worth a visit.

Food was delicious, staff were very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly and the other customers were delightful!

Stopped in here for a meal on the first night of our staycation. Pub was well laid out to allow social distancing measures. Friendly welcoming staff and a good range of specials and pub favourites.Sweet chilli chicken from the specials board was delicious and the gammon steak was succulent and large for a healthy appetite. We finished off with ginger sponge and some locally sourced ice cream.We would definitely recommend and hope to return later in the week. Booking is advisable as it is quite small inside and some people were being turned away that hadn't booked.

Pre booked Saturday night family dinner for 8. Arranged on two tables, as you do. Great food and service...

Visited The Greyhound during family holiday and had a lovely relaxing evening. The pub had a welcoming feel and staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. Choice of menu was great and food was homely and delicious with a wide range. Definitely go back if visiting the area

We had dinner at the Greyhound Inn and it is in the centre of the lovely village of Beaminster. The dinner was very good and the service was excellent. In particular the welcome and service was of a very high caliber. Certainly if we are in the area we will return again. Just one point is that the portions were far to big and feel they could be reduced by about a quarter thus leaving room for more sales i.e, desserts/sweets. But that is not a criticism we really enjoyed our dinner.

Perfect lunch stop on drive to Cornwall. 30p/1 hour parking opposite. Friendly staff, delicious scampi and chips - took the small portion option and still very generous.

For value for money you cannot beat this full English breakfast and it tastes pretty good as well. Egg, bacon, sausage, beans, tom,mushrooms, hash browns and a round of thick toast all for £5.50 Perfect

We have visited twice this week.Sunday we had the roast, delicious beef with a mountain of vegetables, Yorkshire pudding, plenty of gravy. Excellent.Nicely welcomed and well looked after all through the meal. Top marks. Today I had the faggots, one of my favourites and they were great, again loads of veg. My wife had Thai sweet chilli chicken, and she loved it. Cannot fault this much better the average “local” in the very best sense of the word. We will definitely be back on our next holiday in Beaminster.Thanks to you all.

Lovely meals, popular pub serving good home cooked, lots of choice. Stew delicious Fish pie also good. Friendly service. Very busy & popular with locals so book if wanting to eat at weekends etc.as they get full up. Would certainly visit again.

We visited this pub 3 times whilst holidaying in Beaminster and had two lovely lunchtime meals. The Shepherds Pie & Cottage Pie with assortment of veg was fantastic. Friendly & cosy atmosphere.

Family group of nine arrived after walking from Bridport and being caught in heavy rain for last ten minutes. Sign outside said Muddy paws and Muddy boots welcome. Went to Snug at the back, lots of games for the children to play. Food, good sized portions and very tasty. Excellent!

Really lovely pub with open fire and friendly staff. The food is home-cooked and there is a wonderful selection.

I found this pub a real disappointment. Quite a cold atmosphere with uncomfortable furniture. The Landlord was very unfriendly, not one smile. Not one vegan option for a vegan friendly town, curious. There is so much potential for this place.

Having recently moved to Beaminster I was looking forward to visiting The Greyhound, but never again! The Landlord was very unfriendly, their beautiful dog took to my dog, but the Landlord was having no chit chat and certainly no smiles. It was cold inside and laid out with tables & chairs, no comfy chairs or nooks - certainly missing a trick here. Basic menu with nothing for a vegan (strange considering most other places in Beaminster really cater for vegans). A real disappointment.

We had a lovely dinner in The Greyhound. Friendly welcome in a nice pub, and taking the kids was fine. The children both ordered children’s Surf and Turn which was fish bites and chicken foujons with chips and peas / beans. My wife has fish cakes and I had a curry. Service was timely and food came without any delay. Oh, and for the record the toilets were immaculate. We really enjoyed it.

Arrived with our dogs early evening to be told very abruptly that the table we were hovering by was booked. Left immediately

Visited late September 2019 for a Traditional Sunday Roast dinner and absolutely thoroughly enjoyed it. This is a lovely traditional village pub serving good old pub grub - the kind of place we all need so we can get away from the ridiculous number of Gastro style pubs that are around these days. The meals were great and plentiful and we really enjoyed them - roast lamb with all the usual trimmings followed by spotted dick and custard. We intend coming back soon to enjoy more food here.

We have recently returned from visiting friends in Beaminster and visited the Greyhound on four separate days. Although we named ourselves the Strangers for the excellent quiz we were made to feel very welcome. The food was excellent our group particularly enjoyed the lamb chops as were the excellent draught beers. The service was very friendly and helpful. I would heartily recommend the Greyhound to anyone seeking good food drink and a friendly atmosphere. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area.

We were very pleased at the warm welcome, varied menu and great food. We found the pub by chance but would certainly return and heartily recommend it. We had a 12 week old baby with us and warm water was swiftly provided to heat her milk. We all felt very welcome.

The chalkboard outside says Muddy Paws and Muddy Boots Welcome. There is a menu board outside with two sets of prices, obviously Small and Large dining prices. Inside above the bar is a host of Specials. The welcome was warm and friendly. Two mains at full price from the Specials and two halves of lager was £26, which I considered that a very good lunch considering that the plates were full. It is definitely a 'locals' pub, who, for a visitor were very helpful and ready to engage in conversation. The kitchen closes at 2pm, but a flurry of customers turned up and the kitchen stayed open. In this day and age, that is what I call Service.

We called into this place for lunch. On the 26th Aug 2019. Ate around 1.30pm

I called in here on my way to Forde Abbey, intending to stop and eat somewhere en route. The Red Lion on the opposite corner of Beaminster's charming central square was closed and so by default I ended up at the Greyhound. Although I was neither I noticed the prominent sign welcoming muddy boots and dogs.

We love to go hear when we have some free time. It’s a friendly family run business with the local beers. The food is ok pub grub as well.

Fantastic home cooked food, friendly atmosphere, would recommend as a pub to visit. The meal was cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious.

Called in with walking group,18 of us in all. Food was very good and fresh and good value for money. Service was friendly and swift considering that we all arrived at once and the pub was already very busy when we arrived.

We stopped at the Greyhound Inn for lunch and were delighted by the quality of food, friendly staff and excellent service. My fish pie was perfect as was my husbands ham,egg & chips.

What can I say? Clean attractive room, superb and obviously home-cooked food with a great selection of puddings, service great too and dog friendly. Perfect!

Nous sommes arrivés à 10 personnes mais accueilli très aimablement. La carte propose des spécialités britanniques cuisinées à la demande, simples mais goûteuses et sans reproches. Malgré notre nombre le service à été relativement rapide. L’addition raisonnable environ 15€ par personne.

I’ve visited this pub every time on my visits to west Bay and always outstanding service and food can not recommend enough the food is beyond exceptional fantastic many thanks

The food at this pub is outstanding and Great value , It comes fresh, Not out of a box, And Piping hot, We eat there twice and both times were amazing value for money. We will be back again John and Kaire.

I noticed this time we were in the UK, that some pubs have become big screen TV and fast food places where tourists and truckers stop. Noisy and too much like NA pubs. The Greyhound is NOT like that. This is where the locals come, talk and bring their dogs, but even they make reservations, so you should too. We went twice for dinner. The first night was curry night. Delicious Rojan Josh with all the trimmings, and washed down with Copper Dorset Ale. The second night we enjoyed chicken pie or half chicken and had Dorset Apple Cake with ice cream for dessert. Very enjoyable place, and I think they keep one table for walk-ins because we sat at the same table both times.

The welcome extends to pooches of all shapes and sizes.

Called in for lunch and were made most welcome , a good selection of beers and ciders to choose from also a great home cooked menu. I had the lamb chops with fresh cooked veg VERY TASTY! And served up by the happy and helpful Landlady. My Wife ,Brother in law and partner also had lovely well cooked meals, we were all VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE SERVICE AND QUALITY OF THE FOOD.

Amazing dog friendly pub with fantastic food. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we went in. The faggots were the best I've eaten.

Dropped in without booking for a Sunday lunch. Lots of vegetarian options, which impressed. Had roasts with a mass of vegetables - to my mind perfectly cooked, still a bit of bite, but not what they call al dente and I call raw. Speedy service, very friendly, all staff seemed hands on.

Despite large portions, the food was over cooked. Whitebait should be lightly fried and not over cooked and crispy. Jacket potato is clearly cooked from frozen, due to the texture and not that pleasant. Staff were really lovely We don’t intend to return!

We were looking for some food while walking around the beautiful countryside nearby and nearly opted for a sandwich in the local store but a quick look at the menu on the door changed our minds, and so glad we did.

Nice little pub/hotel, dog friendly, very good food very good value. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would recommend mushroom & walnut spaghetti bolognaise and gammon steak

We visit the area one or two times a year.

Excellent town centre pub with good range of beer, wine and a food menu to fit all palates. Very dog friendly and in our experiences as pleasant and friendly local client base.

We happened across this pub on a Friday night which happened to be curry night. This proved very fortunate as the curry deal was great value - popadoms, choice of curries, rice and a naan bread for £9.95. And good curries they were.

Popped in to the Greyhound on the off chance that a table may be available. Luckily there was one table free which we could occupy. Great pub food plus a large specials menu. Large portions and the service was really personable and friendly. Lovely meal thank you.

Excellent food in a quiet atmosphere with a very good service we will visit again when we next stop in ammonite cottage booked with cottages.com always quality from them

We ate at the bar and the food was good. Staff are friendly and helpful. It is in my opinion a good well run local pub and would have no problem visiting again

A very welcoming pub, dogs and muddy boots no problem. Obviously popular, good wholesome food and good beer.

Speaking as a retired licensee I can say this pub is how it should be. No the landlord doesnt spring to attention and open the door earlier than his stated opening times, why should he. In fact he was two minutes late tonite so we just took a seat outside, no big deal. Amiable bloke who keeps a clean tidy pub and most importantly above anything else his beer is good, after all that is what a pub is all about. So to sum up, nice pub, nice beer, friendly staff oh and it was curry night tonite so a couple of currys with all the trimmings at a very reasonable price went down well. We were only in the area for one week but been here on two lunchtimes and tonite. Keep it up.

Arrived a couple of minutes before opening, Waited outside . Landlord saw us but did not acknowledge at all. Finally opened just after 6 pm. Landlord ignored us but landlady said hello and was informed we had a table booked,

We were in Beaminster, a small little town with heavy traffic on the narrow High Street.Small car parking but there is a Car Park behind the high street. We looked at various places for a quick lunch and found this cosy little Inn. A homely atmosphere, simple old fashioned place with a number of locals.We found the main menu a little pricy but they did have a selection of quick meals. We opted for the Cod and chips. The portion was adequate for the price The batter was crispy, the Cod a bit over cooked. A good selection of local Cider. Recommend this place for a quick lunch without the trappings of a restaurant.

I have passed by many times and a month ago called in for a pint. I was extremely surprised by what I found. A welcoming, clean, cosy pub.

What can we say, excellent atmosphere, hospitality, outstanding food on our short break, definitely recommend. We will be returning,if your staying in Beaminster or other local areas, check this out you will not be dissapointed.

Yes that's right this review is about the Dog Biscuits.

We wanted an early meal as we are all OAP’s and do not enjoy a late meal, we waited over an hour after ordering our meal. Others came in after us and got their meals before us and we had mostly ordered from the specials board. The food was disappointing.

We called on a Tuesday night in October and must have got the last table as the place was full at 7.30pm. As far as I could see they use local suppliers and my lamb steaks were perfect. There were 6 of us and we were the last to order so the kitchen was under pressure and we had a wait, but it was worth it. Superior pub grub with plenty of choice as it's a specials menu rather than the usual limited choice you get in a pub. I enjoyed my meal including traditional dessert at least as much as two other dinners at much more expensive restaurants in Beaminster.

Somewhat grumpy when I went in at yardarm, as it had taken so long to travel just a short distance from Bridport, about two hours in fact, due to the ridiculously restricted bus service - which terminated in Beaminster! Thankfully the pub was open, as a beer or two direly needed. An excellent pint of beer from the Palmers Brewers range (local producer), a very pleasant landlord who gave us details of a local taxi service, which proved very reliable and got us safely to the next step. I could happily have stayed all afternoon in this lovely pub, the food looked gorgeous and reasonably priced with all sorts of specials on the chalkboards around. The pub quickly filled up at lunchtime so is clearly popular with locals. Alas though, we had to go, will certainly make a point of visiting here when next in Bridport.

A group if us including a dog stopped in here for dinner whilst walking the Jubilee trail last weekend. The hospitality was second to none, especially as we were all dirty and probably smelly. The food was delicious and very welcome after a full day of walking! It was a bonus that they are extremely dog friendly. Couldn’t have stopped at a nicer place, highly recommended!

Had a week in a Lodge in Corscombe with friends, we went here for a meal, the food was really good, so good we went another night! Great menu and other choices on the blackboard. Great value for money, the lamb chops were to die for ( hubby's words!) We would thoroughly recommend going here, good beer, good food and a lovely atmosphere, friendly staff too.

Went here twice whilst visiting the beautiful village of Beaminster....very friendly staff and locals....good honest pub grub,good portions and very good quality....place is dog friendly too...very nice...

Breakfast was lovely and tasty and it was served hot I would recommend it to anyone!

Booked a table in advance to be on the safe side & I am glad I did as all the tables were taken. We both had the black pudding stack to start which was very good with the stilton on top! A fish pie & a mixed grill for mains. Great meals for a good price!
