Brilliant new proprietors from March 2024 with very high standards.So ignore 2023 reviews and the food and other pics are out of date. The accommodation area is not open yet as major refurb in progress. I went up for a music night in July and I am going up this week to sample the pub menu, and will certainly be booking ahead as soon as the hotel part does open, as I don’t drive, so a relaxing visit to Wadhurst for me, require a stop over. I am confident this team’s famous high standards will transform this historic building into a classy stay. The kitchen is entirely new, state of the art, and sparkling and immaculate, ( I was given a tour ) and I am looking forward to traveling to Wadhurst now they are serving food, as I know this chefs food is top notch. And with the welcoming bar team, I will feel comfortable and looked after. As a fussy woman who is used to dining alone, or taking others to dine in top establishments around the foodie cities of Brighton, Malaga and Paris, I have a high standard for hospitality and food. The new proprietors at the Greyhound are warm and welcoming and have high standards of hygiene and hospitality, I know this from their other ventures, I can’t wait to eventually stay over and enjoy the village of Wadhurst when the hotel part opens. Until then I am taking the bus up from Brighton this week to sample the new pub menu, as I know the chef is first class, and with such a good hospitality team I can confidently invite a party of people knowing they will be happy and looked after. On the new menu I will report my findings in detail!

Only known this as a pub , but does have accommodation, so believe correct place . Do not look at past reviews as just been taken on this year by new landlords and as had a totally new kitchen put in , only just open for food . The teriyaki pork belly was gorgeous and my partner , always rates a pub by its ham egg and chips . ( they will be doing more up market food In their restaurant once open ). The crumble was in the most delicious pastry , quite unexpected :) . All in all a great experience , complimented by being reasonably priced, with good wine and of course no pub is the same without wonderful staff .

New owners took over the Greyhound. In January 2024 and opened on good Friday. It is not a hotel. Pub has been renovated to a high standard, friendly welcoming owner's. The kitchen will be ready soon for food and renovating beer garden. Owners have big plans for this pub, live music and a jam night 3rd Tuesday of every month that is open to all. Love this place

This property is under construction, and it's not possible to get a hold of them. I have a reservation for 2 nights at the end of August, and if my friends were to witness the hotel being closed, I would find myself in a very interesting situation, being in a foreign country with nowhere to stay. Avoid booking this hotel.

I have a booking with this hotel at the end of July, I have a number of questions I need to ask the hotel but I cannot get hold of them for love nor money. Does anyone have any advice on this or dealt with a similar issue? They've had a pre-payment for 1 of the night's of my stay which isn't ideal either

This is the worst accommodation we have ever stayed in over the past 40 years. It is terrible. In a converted garage with one small window, the carpet is filthy. The bed mattress is uncomfortable, thin and squeaks every time you turn. The noise from people walking in the room above is loud. The towels are hard and thin resembling sand paper. The bathroom is in a poor condition with a small shower and a hole in the tiles around the shower controls. There is mould and dirt around the base of the shower. The furniture is outdated and shabby, The whole place looks neglected and needs a total refurbishment. DO NOT BOOK HERE. Like the previous review, we didn't do our research and look at trip advisor before booking to our cost.

Do not book this accommodation. Absolutely filthy. Broken lampshades. Hole in shower cubicle wall. Very strong smell of dogs and mould. Towels were dirty. Ironing board unusable and typical of the general standard of cleanliness. Heater not working. The owner/manager wasn’t there for our check in. There was obviously a heavy drinking session going on in the bar, the staff were helpful but clearly embarrassed and in agreement with the state of the room. We were then taken outside to a converted garage which was our accommodation. It’s nothing like the photo on the website. It would have been impossible to stay there. We spoke with the staff, cancelled our booking and found an alternate. Staff assured us that we would receive a refund. Have emailed Jonathan Gilbert several times and left voice messages-no reply. Such a dump in such a pretty village. Sadly we didn’t check other reviews before booking. Plenty of other options.

Just got back from a lovely meal in the Greyhound Inn. It was very quiet considering it is Valentine's Day. We were given a nice, cosy table in the corner by a crackling fire. The food was delicious. We had a starter and main each and were both too full for a pud. The lady who was serving was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Recommend and will visit again if we are ever in the area.

Had a craving for fish and chips and was told that the Greyhound do for take out and local delivery. The food was absolutely delicious and well presented at an excellent price. The local delivery was an added bonus as anyone who lives in Wadhurst knows we can’t get food delivered! Will definitely use again as have such a good range of food on the menu so there is something for everyone in the family!

Obviously closed at present but they are doing take away and delivered meals (for some reason the only place enterprising enough to do deliveries locally). Just tried for the first time - fish and chips. Really excellent - fresh, crisp, piping hot and very good value all delivered by a friendly guy. Definitely will use again.

Horrible atmosphere and the prices on drinks does not make up for it in any way, been in for one drink and got the hell out. Had meal here before and it was decent but the service leaves a lot to be desired. On another occasion i had a pizza, it made me depressed, it was doughy and undercooked with cheese piled on seemingly to add some kind of flavour to the bland sauce and dough. Would really like to say at least one thing good about this place but i realy just cant

Six of us visited here two nights running for dinner and had an outstanding experience. The host was congenial; and efficient in making sure the service was second to none. The staff were very friendly, responsive and attentive and the food was top notch. The home made steak and ale pies were a real stand out - the best we've had anywhere for many a year. The chef also pulled out all the stops to make us a delicious apple crumble (taken off the menu) - thanks to a neighbour who was able to supply the apples. We wish we were local - we would certainly be regulars. IF you are in the area then this place is worth a detour. Here's to the next time

The Good folks at the Greyhound have clearly been busy during lockdown.more than just a lick of paint, they've brought a tired old building right into 2020, lovely contemporary design that still suits such an old building.Have been enjoying the take away during lockdown but it was really nice to have food in the beer garden, the fish and chips is fab!Tried some of the new wines and they've really chosen well, better than I expected for the price, wife is happy :)

Decided to try the greyhound delivery menu as I was recommended by a friend. It’s got to be one of the best takeaways I’ve ever had. The amazing food quality was fantastic for the price. We had pizzas, chicken and a burger split between four of us and we were completely stuffed with food leftover!! The spicy chicken wings taste exactly like the kfc ones if not better. The gentleman I spoke to was so polite and kind over the phone and the food was still piping hot when it got to us. Completely recommend!! You will not be disappointed at all.

Try being friendly to your customers and not sarcastic with them when they ask questions about your food. You want people to be happy with their order, no??You might be in a bad mood, but it doesn’t cost anything to be courteous and maybe be a bit welcoming?? As new locals having bought in the area, we shall not be giving our custom to this pub now. Just can’t be abiding the sarcasm. Really horrible.

The staff at the pub were wonderful and couldn't do enough for us. The breakfast was adequate. The room, however, was nothing to write home about. Very shabby and in serious need of a refurb. There was nowhere to plug in the kettle unless you fished around behind the TV, the curtains and carpets were stained and grubby. The bathroom had mold and the shower would not stay put so you had to use it hand held unless you only wanted to wash your legs.

Turned up early without a booking. The pub have a carvery on Sunday. We are a family with 3 young kids (one noisy one). They made us feel really welcome and the food was lovely. Especially the array of vegetables available. The pub is clearly a hub of the community and the staff were amazing, not only to us but several other tables around us. Really recommend this place. Places like this need support and recognition for what they clearly offer their community.

The staff was extremely rude and refused to serve tea and coffee on a cold day. It was not that they did not actually sell tea and coffee but the bartender actually told us he was not going to make it for us. The bartender also was rude and impatient when we were then deciding what we wanted to drink, instead of our tea and coffee that we was not allowed. To which when we asked what white wines they had, he continued to tell us only two of the different five bottles that were in the fridge, because clearly we was taking up too much of his time. I do not recommend coming in here for drinks as we all felt very unwelcome!!

We visited before Xmas in 2019 and enjoyed our Sunday carvery. We then visited again on Sunday 13 January 2020 and was very disappointed as the quality of food had gone down. The vegetables were frozen or tinned and the food not very hot (hotplate not efficient enough)Will not be going again as there are quite a few places in the area serving much fresher and bitter food for the same price

We met some good friends for lunch. We had been to the Greyhound a few years ago and our memories told us it was a lovely classic Village pub with a nice dinning room.We arrived on a very cold day to find it is now cold drab pub with insufficient heating with a great fire place desperately needing a fire. There was, for us. sadly no warmth or cosy ambiance.The barman was in fairness very helpful. Some of the dishes were of generous portions but we were all disappointed with the main courses.

Stayed for two nights. Had read various reviews but as is my norm reserved judgement until my stay. I am certain that if the improvements planned, come to fruition, this place will really get "on the map". 6 en suite bedrooms should draw guests who are seeking to explore the area with it's nearby National Trust properties, Bewl Reservoir, Lamberhurst Vineyard and local walks etc.That being the case my next review would hopefully be higher

This used to be a very busy traditional type of pub with accommodation. Now I'm not sure what market they are aiming at. We went there for drinks with friends last night and then joined our friends for breakfast this morning. For a Saturday evening it was very quiet - I would have expected the place to be much busier and more atmosphere. The breakfast this morning was quite nice but was quite a wait because the barmaid had forgotten to pass on the message that there were going to be 6 of us for breakfast. But the food was very nice once it did arrive.

There must be better pubs to patronize in Wadhurst for a pint and a sandwich. This USED to be such a good place. Waiting for a sandwich in the bar, two guys sitting in the bar talking loudly with every other word being the "F" word. Going out to the toilets was an experience, I have never seen so much grime on a white door... have they not heard of "Flash" on a damp cloth. As for the carpet.... probably been there since 1970's.

Talk of the town for all of the wrong reasons. Unwelcoming, half finished decor, carpet that is disgusting, itchy legs and feet after leaving, tatty curtains. The bar maid spends half her time at the end of the bar flirting, no sense of urgency in servicing anyone. different prices dependent on who goes to the bar. Last Friday, four beers and two small glasses of wine £18.40 the first time, Second time around £23.50 for the same drink'. Orange juice £4.30. "Constantly running out of beer and wine. They have been seen to buy cheap wine form the one stop and sell it on for more than double the price. Beer, we have seen them on one occasion go and buy cans. The food has gone down hill. The toilets leave a lot to be desired. Perfect for powdering your nose. Foul mouthed crowed at the end of the bar, one with a Yorkshire accent particularly bad. Strangest landlords we have seen. One set never smile, the other a strange lady after drinking a few gets a little rowdy, starts lashing out. Freezing cold all year around. Everything needs a clean. The most disgusting place we have been. You could write a soap on it!

Popped in for an impromptu Sunday lunch yesterday. We were really pleasantly surprised! The lamb was good, nice array of veggies, good yorkshire. The only let down was the roast potatoes which where really well done. The pub is very quaint and definitely a 'locals' place - nice to see as you don't get it much in London these days. Will certainly go back for the roast.

Went there today after Bewl 15 race. Ordered 3 burgers - that after chasing order several times - they discovered - they had lost our order. Staff were hopeless - 'man in the apron' was borderline rude and when the food arrived an hour and twenty minutes later was at best 'average'. This race happens every year - The Greyhound is advertised on the back of the t-shirt and although there were not many people in there - I imagine they were expecting to be busy and would have expected them to be prepared!!

Not many pubs are able to combine a good "local" for the regulars with a cheerful, friendly welcome for the casual visitor, but the Greyhound does it really well. Lovely traditional pub in the heart of Wadhurst, parking down a little lane just west of the pub. Good choice of four real ales (Musket Mild recommended) including Harveys, also range of fairly priced ciabattas with various fillings. Dogs welcome in bar. Restaurant area, also garden at rear. Good service, good value, good pub.

Met here for lunch with friends after a walk and I have to say it was very welcoming, great selection of beers and a quiet beer garden which was perfect for a sunny Sunday Afternoon. A small menu which is usually a good indication of fresh cooked food and that was most definitely the case, burgers were homemade, roasts and salmon were homecooked. The only negative was how long it took to get our food! It was staggering must have been forty five minutes for eight meals and the pub was quiet, i think we were the only table waiting for food. When it did come out we weren't asked if we wanted sauces etc and no condiments on the tables or bought out with cutlery.

Stayed there for 2 nights. The rooms are in a converted stable next to the pub. We paid £68, but apparently the usual price is £75. Even at full price the rooms are well worth it! Pretty basic (no wardrobe, only hooks on the wall), but warm and comfortable. The food at the pub was also basic, but again, good value. The owners are excellent and helpful. Breakfast was extremely well cooked, and the tea, served in a china pot, is hot and strong. Lovely pub atmosphere, and for a cheeky weekend away, this place cannot be bettered.

Went to The Greyhound for Sunday lunch and have to say the food was excellent ! The roast beef was superb, vegetables plenty , lovely roast potatoes and Yorkshires' - Linguine and children's meals also very good I have read recent reviews and it is a shame that these (2 ) do not reflect the quality of the food. We also turned up without booking and waited half an hour for food - not unreasonable given the number of people eating and really, given how good and fresh it was I would rather wait a little while than have food which is 'instant' - I was aware that some people were complaining but concensus of others in the restaurant was that this was not appropriate Whatever - our experience was excellent

It is great to have not one but two good pubs in Wadhurst. If you want a good pint of ale in a friendly atmosphere then you won't be disappointed by the Greyhound. With a big open fire and lots of character, it's a great place to socialise and unwind. I have not tried the food yet, but it won't be long before I do.

We live in Wadhurst and when we can go to the Greyhound usually to have a nice lunch and a few drinks, we don't go every week but when we do we spend a decent amount of money.Since the change in management we have been quite a few times, the menu is a bit boring now but the food is still good. We both work every weekend but when we get a rare Sunday off we go for a roast dinner at the Greyhound as they are excellent , we have taken many friends there and generally support it as a local business the best we can.Today we had the first Sunday off this year (apart from holidays away) and decided to go for a roast dinner. As there is only two of us we didn't book but knew we should get there early as their Sunday roasts are popular. We arrived at 12.30pm, there were a couple of tables full in the restaurant area, maybe 6 people, people just drinking outside and inside two reserved tables (9 reservations total) and the other tables were empty.We sat down, studied the menu and then my husband went up to order food and get drinks, he came back with the drinks and told me that they couldn't take a food order from us until 1.30-2pm , I didn't understand, he said it was because they had bookings. I pointed out that the bookings weren't here and he suggested I talk to one of the surly girls behind the bar.I did, I asked whether we were guaranteed to get a meal if we waited and hour to get food, dark haired girl said no, blonde girl said yes but we couldn't order our food before 2pm, I asked why not and she said bookings come first, I said we got here early , again she said bookings come first. We finished our drinks and left.If we had arrived when the restaurant and pub were full I would understand, normally you are told there will be a delay, if there was a sign saying "we only serve Sunday lunch to bookings" I would have booked. Two people coming into a pub for a Sunday lunch when the pub is empty should be served. One of the bookings turned up when we were having our drinks, half an hour after they refused to serve us, they could have served us food in that time.No food went out all the time we were there and no orders went to the kitchen.I am absolutely appalled by the service and their ridiculous lack of management and planning, incapable of serving a walk in Sunday roast to a couple, you are in the wrong job.I wonder what would have happened if I had phoned that morning and booked a table for two for 12.30pm would they have been able to serve us then.I will no longer recommend this pub, thanks for ruining our first Sunday off since January ( when we walked in to your pub with two friends and had a Sunday lunch WITHOUT booking SHOCK), thanks for the lack of empathy and customer service skills your staff have.We will take our money elsewhere in future.

Had our Sunday lunch here last weekend, the food was absolutely brilliant. Beautiful beef, crispy roast potatoes and light Yorkshire puddings. It was the kind of lunch you always hope to find in the English countryside but sadly it is rare now.The owner was extremely helpful, friendly guy.We also stayed the night; the bedroom was simple but had everything we needed and the breakfast was good and hearty.I would definitely recommend this place for the food and a quick night away, thank you for looking after us so well.

As a family, this has been one of our favourite places to eat. The last time we did so was in September 2015 when we had a good experience. However we chose to do the same in June 2016 for Father's Day. Unfortunately it was not a pleasant experience! We booked a late table to avoid the peak Father's Day rush. Last time a varied menu and wine list was brought to the table, this time there was a very limited menu which we had to hunt for ourselves. There was little on the menu apart from roast dinners which all four of us ended up ordering even though we had been looking forward to having something different than we would have on a typical Sunday at home. THE FOOD TOOK OVER AN HOUR to arrive. I had the lamb which was nicely cooked but cold, with very little gravy. Apparently the beef was the same, nicely cooked but luke warm. The nut roast was over cooked and a little burnt. By this time we were SO hungry we did not want to wait for it to be reheated. The veg was ok but the portions were small. We were very disappointed. It would have been better for us to have had a carvery or bar meal elsewhere but for this the Greyhound charges restaurant prices.Throughout the meal, a young woman behind the bar was incredibly loud and chatted incessantly with colleagues which intruded on any conversation. The only break from the constant loud joking and chatting was when she went outside for a cigarette. The whole experience was not good.

Popped in as we were parked behind in the free public car park, so rare. It was National Fish and Chip day so it would have seemed churlish not to partake. The food and Harveys bitter were good, staff friendly with banter. There was just something slightly strange with the ambiance that I cannot put a finger on that meant the mark down.

Such a lovely pub. We started here with a wonderful breakfast. The chef kindly fitted us in even though they seem to only usually have people staying in their B&B having breakfast. He was attentive and friendly. We then went for a 3 hour walk and came back here for a cold drink and bag of nuts. We had popped into the nearby White Hart as it was closer to our car and we only really wanted a drink but on opening the door we felt as though we'd intruded into someone's private living room so hastily left and went to the friendly Greyhound. Several people were ordering lunch but we were still full from breakfast. We are planning on a return visit in the near future.

I recently organised my wife's birthday meal at the Greyhound, having 12 of us round one cold evening in April. The pub had just changed hands and the chap I was organising it all through had just flown off on holiday, so I was a bit apprehensive that it would all go well but the new owners really know what they are doing. The room was warm and cozy, the food excellent and Josh the manager was fantastic, as were all the staff. An excellent evening and one of the best meals I've ever had in a pub. My steak was just right, the wine flowed and the overall price was also surprisingly good value. One of our friends has a lot of food allergies so they went out of their way to cook her exactly what she wanted. Highly recommended if you are in Wadhurst. In my opinion, the Greyhound is the best pub in the Tunbridge Wells area.

Had lunch at The Greyhound in Wadhurst. Ample free public car park at the rear of the pub.Despite an extremely loud, almost caricature, shaven-headed cockney geezer broadcasting his conversation to the entire pub, a very good lunch at a great price. Also, excellent Harveys bitter.An unpretentious old-style pub,with good food.

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch .8 adult family members. A good choice on offer including the traditional roasts. 2 vegetarian but roasts, 1 bowl of mussels and 5 traditional roast dinners later we were all well fed and content. Well kept ales are on offer. Service was friendly and efficient. 3 open fires burning kept comfortable temperature and there was a happy and relaxed atmosphere. First time but would definitely go again.

Popped in for a pint after a lengthy dog walk. Fire was roaring staff and locals very friendly. Well worth popping in if your passing. Food looked great will be back.

This by rights should be a really amazing pub - village centre, very pretty, roaring inglenook fireplace place, huge garden. However, and obviously given the very sad events of recent times, the pub has seen a lot of upheaval. It just has a very transitional feel - the current manager seems an ok guy but a bit disorganised and over his head. Several friends have complained of double-bookings of events, the pub looking messy - the worst part at the moment is some of the bar staff, who are really surly and one of them is extremely, extremely rude! Hopefully. it will turn a corner, it is just a shame because it can be a great night - at the moment it looks festive and stuff but just doesn't have the same feel. a shame.

In the end, it's standard pub grub, but it's very well done - this time I had a version burger, which was really good, and I was deeply envious of my friend's garlic prawns. The sharing boards looked good too

We stopped in Wadhurst looking for breakfast and headed to the Greyhound. 'The Greyhound breakfast ' was served piping hot, well seasoned and presented and beautifully cooked. 10/10.

We use the Greyhound regularly and I think it is a great village / country pub - " a real pub" as a friend from London said.It's always part of any event going on in Wadhurst and that's as it should be.Shula and Dan have made it family friendly in the garden but if children aren't your thing you can sit at the front and enjoy the sunshine.The seafood is always excellent which is deep joy for me and any changes you might ask for to the presentation - different sauces etc - happily accommodated.Steaks are great too.Sunday lunches to be recommended. Theres a friendly welcome for everyone and their dogs and of course in the winter lovely fires.We've used the B and B a few times and that's comfortable and with a great breakfast.As a wine drinker as well as an ale fan I love the fact you can get really nice wine by the glass and although gin isn't on my usual menu I am planning to try those unusual choices one day.....probably have to book the B and B again...

We had a fantastic lunch on Friday 10th July, there were 5 of us – we always take our work colleagues out for lunch at the end of the week – most times we go to the greyhound. The food was fantastic, a few of us had the salmon with Soy Noodles and Pak Choi which was melt in the mouth and loads of it. We sat in the garden, it was real sun trap. The service was spot on the owners Dan and Shula was as usual full of fun and laughter and took time to join in the conversation. It’s so nice to have a big open pub garden in the centre of WadHurst, away from the high street traffic – perfect end to the week. Definitely the best pub and food in Wadhurst by miles. We shall return again as usual.

Very popular village pub providing a central entertainment facility for Wadhurst village with its diverse clientele and extensive outside seating areas. A hub of activity on a sunny day but equally on a snowbound day with roaring inglenook fires! Good range of quality food and excellent overnight accommodation facilities

Consistently great food and service.Sunday roasts are second to none and it is a busy well run village pub that's good for families and couples alike.

I have been using the Greyhound for many years and I can't speak highly enough of Dan, Shula and their staff, always friendly, helpful and very welcoming. The food is good and very good value priced, the steak is exceptional and the fish and chips is very hard to beat.

We often go to the greyhound and have always had a lovely time. The fish and chips are fantastic! The recent beer festival put on was a master class! The garden is child friendly and has lots of space so never feels crowded. The Sunday lunch is also second to none. Reading above reviews, I, personally can never understand the point of trying to damage a family run business. The greyhound will always be our Sunday lunch pub!

The resident chef at The Greyhound has created an interesting menu that never disappoints - my seared salmon with pak choi and oriental noodles last week was delicious and my friend's fish and chips hit the spot. The outside areas are comfortable and inviting, great for summer evenings.

I have cycled past here so very very often and never tried the cafe. I should have read the reviews on here first! I stopped for a latte and a cake and the guy working here I am sure does not drink coffee. He was so out of his depth with the coffee machine I ended up with just hot milk!! In the old adage “You only get one chance to make a good first impression” Sorry but this time you failed. Yelling at me when I left that I could not go down and look at the lake as I might upset the fishermen having earlier told me there were no fishermen was not worth debating either. In short if you fish here use the cafe, if you are passing…… Keep on passing.

Well what can I say… I rarely do reviews unless something is particularly bad or excellent and I’m pleased to say my experience here was the latter. I was informed by a reluctant local to the area that this place was a little gem, the food is all cooked fresh in house and the prices are really good. It’s very popular with the locals and I can see why. Being positioned opposite The Tiger Inn with loads of free parking this little gem of a restaurant should be put on the map!! I ordered the new Christmas Dinner, when it came I was not expecting anything more than a small plate for the price, instead of got a full plate of succulent vegetables, scrummy roast potatoes (that always a must with me) pig in blanket, stuffing a home made Yorkshire pudding and beautifully cooked turkey…. Topped off with gravy and fresh Cranberry sauce all for the cheapest price of £13.50…. What a bargain. I have tried other Xmas dinners around the area but they are more expensive and I’ve not been able to satisfied. I can see why the locals keep this place quiet, it’s a beautiful location, dog friendly and the atmosphere is very homely. Sorry local people but your secret it out!!!! Highly recommend even if you just want fresh cooked cakes, light meals etc…. It’s my new favourite place 😍
