The Greyhound Inn in Vale of White Horse

We had a very enjoyable birthday lunch here. However, it seems unsure whether it is a restaurant or a gastropub. Food quality and presentation were up to the standard of a high quality restaurant. So were the prices! The staff were very professsional (and we noticed that they close once a week for staff training). However, it still looks and feels like a pub, with a bar, wooden seating, no tablecloths, casually dressed staff, and they neded one or two more staff both in the kitchen and serving. They should either put in place the finishing touches for it to be a fine restaurant, or dial down a bit, particularly on prices, and present it as a really good gastropub.

Excellent lunch menu at The Greyhound. All 3 of us enjoyed our meal very much. Nice atmosphere, good service, and excellent food.

Excellent food and service. The restaurant also accommodated an additional person at very short notice and made us feel very welcome

Just had a Fabulous Sunday lunch for 16 of us. Thank you to James and his team for making it so enjoyable. Food and wine superb with spot on service. Can thoroughly recommend the Greyhound.

Spectacular food and welcoming atmosphere! Great service and friendly staff a nice rural village! Thank you for making our celebrations special!

Excellent pub with great staff. Room was top drawer and good value for money. Restaurant really surprised us with how good the food was. Great menu and chefs at the top of their game. Couldn't fault the place - highly recommended.

Excellent food in choice and presentation. Staff very attentive. Enjoyable lunch with friends. 2nd visit, definately will be back again

Having stayed here many times our review is bound to be biased but The Greyhound is an exceptional pub in respect of accommodation, food and beer. The ambience is excellent , the staff incredibly friendly and efficient and the menu has to be one of the best that we have experienced in a pub. However, in the context of the excellent staff (and they are all excellent) Joe the barman deserves a special accolade for his knowledge of the beers on tap. Biased I may be but a pub that serves a good (and a different pint) needs some recognition. Thank you.

very much enjoyed dinner and breakfast here. Very easy to have gluten free coeliac friendly food, without fuss Staff were very nice, friendly and helpful

Enjoyed a really good cheese souffle set in a smoked haddock stew. Absolutely brilliant presentation and super tasty!

Best Pub Sunday Roasts I have had! All the dishes were perfectly cooked and beautifully presented! I will definitely be back again and highly recommended.

Excellent family lunch at the Greyhound yesterday. Chef's Lunch for Less Menu was as good as ever plus great service from Siobhan and her team. Always a great experience.

Very disappointed with the quality of the food. 2 of us had roast chicken,which was extremely dry and hard. It tasted as though it had been cooked hours earlier and microwaved once ordered. Although I should say everything else was really nicely flavoured. We had heard good things about the food there, so maybe we just caught them on a bad day, but it was certainly a real let down considering it's gastropub label, and gastropub prices!

A lovely meal for my sisters birthday. Service was attentive and friendly, food was amazing, and the whole vibe / atmosphere was lovely. Cute little country pub in a lovely location. Will deffo be returning.

We regularly stay at the Greyhound when visiting relatives as we love the rooms. The fresh coffee, perfect shortbread are always a treat as are the excellent bathroom products ( Bramble) but the dinners are also special. I recently had the hake dish which was superb together with on - point service and great drinks recommendations from the bar. Always a good experience

We've known Chef Martin for some years, as he was chef at our local, but we'd never had the chance of eating at The Greyhound, where he is now chef. Until last night - and we are so pleased we did! The Greyhound is a traditional English pub, serving excellent real ale (I wish I could remember the name of the delicious, well-kept pint I'd had last night) and superb, creative and beautifully presented food - just take a look at the photos I took last night. Chef Martin came out to see us and explained all about their focus on the quality of their food and how he likes to constantly change the menu and how much attention they pay to the creation of each dish. Well, it certainly works, as our table really enjoyed our selections. I had: - Twice-baked Leonard Stanley Gloucestershire cheddar soufflé, smoked haddock chowder - Braised ox cheek, smoked oyster mayonnaise & coastal herbs, caramelised Roscoff onion, sticky beef jus, Ox tongue nuggets - Black treacle & stem ginger sticky toffee pudding, butterscotch sauce, candied pecans, vanilla & tonka bean ice cream I loved the combination of cheese soufflé and chowder - really good. I love Ox Cheek and this and the tongue "nugget" was rich, moist and full of flavour. The sticky toffee was a real triumph and absolutely fab. What a meal. We'll definitely be back. Thanks Martin and your team for a really excellent evening! Hope to see you again soon. Also posted to my food blog on Instagram @AbbeyKing16

A surprising gem - the food choice, great cooking and friendly staff were all an unexpected delight. We spent one night here and the rooms were very comfortable and well appointed - including the provision of fresh milk for morning tea

Tolles Angebot an sehr feinen Speisen. Alles wirklich sehr gut, mit angemessenem Preis und guten Portionen. Flotter und freundlicher Service. Werden wir sicherlich noch einmal testen.

I chose the Greyhound because I wanted to treat a friend to a very good lunch. And that was exactly the experience we had - and in spite of being almost an hour late and on a very busy day for the pub! Even though it was increasing their workload, the Greyhound team could not have been better about our late arrival. Matching such good service, both the main course and the puddings were a delight.

We visited for a birthday midweek after reading reviews. Quiet village pub with big loud flavours. My partner ordered fish and asked for it not to be battered, nothing was a problem. Tandoori style lamb is up there with my favourite dish ever. Understandable why the chef and this place has the accolades they do. Will return.

Such an exciting menu and delicious food! I had the cheese soufflé, sirloin steak and the trio of desserts - worth all the calories!

Wonderful Sunday roast....and yet not an 'ordinary' roast! The pork came as a thick chop with beautiful crackling. Far too much food for me, two days later I am still recovering! And the sweets? They HAVE to be tried!!

Although this review is about our dining experience, which was superb, I must also comment on the other elements of our 2 day stay. Staff were welcoming and cheerful from the minute we walked through the door until our checkout time. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with a large bedroom, king sized bed, en-suite bath/shower and locally made toiletries. The a la Carte menu had an excellent selection of dishes and everything was very fresh, well presented and complemented with an extensive wine list. (The beers were good too!) On both evenings there were full tables throughout, which gave a very sociable and friendly vibe. On returning to the Inn after walking locally it was obvious from the number of people enjoying a late lunch that this is a very popular establishment. The breakfast menu was also extensive and included continental and traditional choices with locally sourced eggs, bacon and sausage. We enjoyed a faultless and thoroughly enjoyable stay due to the diligence and friendly attitude of the staff and the quality of the accommodation and the food. We definitely recommend a visit to The Greyhound Inn if you are visiting the area.

We had an excellent birthday lunch meal for my wife’s birthday. The staff were very polite and attentive. We would highly recommend going to The Greyhound inn you will not be disappointed. We will be back. Thank you

Lovely ambience - warm reception. Excellent pre dinner beer . Food interesting and innovative but some old favourites too. Staff friendly and efficient - in all a really pleasant evening.

Always a pleasure to visit the Greyhound for lunch with a friend - and my four-legged friend can come too! Friendly laid-back atmosphere accompanied by top class cuisine. My trout dish was utterly delicious - I'll be back.

Yesterday we were a couple in a party of ten who all enjoyed excellent service and food at the Greyhound. We had a room large enough for the ten of us and were not aware of the activity in other parts of the pub. My wife and I had Oatcakes, Skrei cod and rhubarb for our three courses. The serving staff arrived at the table knowing who had ordered the dishes they were carrying. We had a list of what people had ordered but this was not required given the approach of the restaurant. Why cannot more places do this? It seems sensible and saves time. The food was presented very attractively and all three course had a delicious taste. I can thoroughly recommend the Greyhound.

My wife and I, and my mother in law, a resident at Richmond Village, came for dinner on Sunday evening. The food was excellent, and Danni, who looked after us for the evening was outstanding. Extremely friendly, very helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. Danni is an example of what true customer service looks like.

This was the sixth time we have been to The Greyhound with friends for lunch. The service is always really good and the food is exceptional. We would definitely recommend going there to friends and family.

Fabulous place to stay and dine. Staff were really helpful and nothing to much trouble. Room very well equipped including additional extra touches. Will definitely be back in the future.

A rather lovely evening out. A great range of high quality food in a pub environment, which was convivial and friendly. Good wine list.

This is our third time here and the food was outstanding yet again! So worth the trip over to this gem of a place. Enjoyed a quiet drink in the bar followed by an amazing chicken dish and beautiful sticky toffee pudding that almost had my husband ordering a second helping! Gorgeous

Simply delicious Sunday Lunch plenty of meat and delicious nut roast too. Nut roast had full roast and its own lovely sauce. Often veggie is not served with full roast but this was. Eater for our dog too. Delicious desserts.

Another excellent lunch at The Greyhound. Three of us chose the lamb and one had the Asian vegetarian option. The food was excellent and the service was exemplary.

This was possibly the best birthday 🎂 party 🎉 we could have wished for. The alternative arrangements offered us were perfect and we all enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere. The food (particularly the pork loin!) was excellent and we all enjoyed the wines, both red and white (Montepulciano and Afrikan Ridge). Desserts were great also, especially the rhubarb!!

A wonderful pub, with beautiful food and the most friendliest, courteous staff. The lunch time set menu was excellent value. We will definitely be returning.

Excellent range of dishes on the menu. The food was delicious. The midweek lunch menu was particularly good value. Our server was pleasant and professional, and judged the pace of our meal perfectly. Our group was on an annual meet-up, so were pleased to feel we could remain at the table and chat for a while after the meal.

We all had great meals served by friendly and attentive staff. The wine list is exceptional. There was good off street car parking. Full marks to all.

Unbelievable food and service EVERY time we come! Exemplary! No other word fits! Marmite & Guinness butter ❤️ (those who know, know!)

Such lovely food, different to everywhere else. Lovely flavour combinations and the most amazing dish ever the Smoked Haddock Souffle.

Fabulous old country pub, great food and service and friendly staff. We only moved to the area in September and we are now regulars. The Sunday roasts are divine and there is an innovative and very tasty dessert menu.

Great lunch at the Greyhound for MIL's Birthday. Lunch for Less with seabass, slow cooked lamb shoulder and an outstanding Creme Brulee, Superb.

"Nice place to have a Sunday lunch" warm, friendly and great food, staff very attentive and service was very quick. "Probably the best Sunday lunch you can have in the area"

Another excellent meal at the Greyhound. They cater superbly for coeliacs and even have GF chips. The group I went with eat out often and they were all really impressed. Lovely people, great service.

Lovely 18c village pub independently owned and run. Gorgeous good, lovely friendly staff. We went for Sunday lunch which is always amazing but there are specials during the week plus a great menu. There’s a lovely garden and the pub is child and dog friendly.

We stayed one night in a very characterful room within the Inn. Lovely establishment. Really helpful staff and the evening meal was absolutely superb, proper chefs, well done .

The food here is incredible! We usually go for a Sunday roast which is hands down the best I've had, but everything else is equally amazing. The atmosphere is great and the service is impeccable. I highly recommend!

Exceptional food and service (always with a smile) in a roomy but cosy environment with plenty of parking. What's not to like-as a nearby local will be back to one of the best in the area.

We came for Valentines evening, and had a wonderful meal. Truly excellent food (it always is), and a lovely relaxed atmosphere, helped by very friendly and attentive staff.

An altogether first class and enjoyable evening. The Greyhound is now at the top of my list of favourite places to eat. The food was excellent and the staff superb.

Fantastic food and great service. Lovely produce. Loved the knowledge of the staff and a very good wine menu. Felt very looked after and relaxed. The pub is cosy and welcoming

Great everything! Food was fantastic, service amazing, particularly when the option chosen by one of the party was not available they offered an alternative and made sure it was suitable for allergies. Fantastic will definitely be coming back!

Beautifully presented, multi-layered food. Absolutely delicious and very reasonable for what it is. All done in an unpretentious, warm atmosphere. Perfect lunch after a really nice walk under the Ridgeway.

We are 3 couples who for the last few years have been going out on a Sunday to different restaurant venues around Berkshire. This was our first visit to the Greyhound at Letcombe Regis and what a pleasant surprise. The staff were so friendly and...

Excellent choice of quality Sunday roasts and indulgent desserts. Served with efficiency and smiles. Busy and buzzy showing how popular and good value The Greyhound is.

Brilliant service, really friendly and attentive staff. The food was incredible. For a small, country pub it was unexpected, but the presentation was on par with Michelin star and the taste was amazing. Will be going again for sure

Second time in the Pub, and certainly not the last when in the area. Food was nice, proper ale and brilliant service. The whole of the staff were brilliant, big shoutout to Sarah though, as she sorted us both times. She is a proper gem.

Main was amazing I had the duck and my friend had the pheasant Kyiv. I probably didn't need to chew the duck it was that tender. For dessert I had the Bailey's cheesecake and he had the sticky toffee pudding. If I could marry a...

Stayed here and bowled over by the warm welcome and impeccable decor and cleanliness. Really well equipped room with stylish touches of luxury.

A very good meal from The Greyhound's Festive Menu. Everything was well-prepared, carefully presented and very tasty. I particularly appreciated the excellent crispy roast potatoes, the delicious stuffing and the more-ish buttery carrots served with the tender roast turkey.

Delicious lunch as always beautifully presented. The duck was perfection and the cheese cake was so unusual looked beautiful and tasted amazing. The service was exemplary thank you to everyone and Wishing you all a Happy New Year.

We have been coming all the way from Surrey to this place 4 times already since this Summer. The food is delicious and the area is lovely for a nice walk with family and dog. Will definitely be back again!

We had pre booked our meal. There were some food allergy issues for our party and with pre booking the kitchen were able to make adjustments to avoid any issues. We were greeted warmly and shown to our table and quickly offered drinks. The food...

Excellent luncheon. Well cooked and well presented. Extremely generous portions of vegetables - so much so that we only ate 1/3 of what was delivered to the table and had to take the remainder home in a doggy bag. Delicious mince pies to finish. Highly...

Gorgeous food and friendly service. One of the staff even overheard us having a conversation about how we didn’t need pudding as we had birthday cake in the car and then proceeded to secretly bring out a happy birthday dessert for us. Thank you :-)

We had a wonderful family lunch for 16 in The Barn on Sunday. Everyone had such a good time and enjoyed their food and the service was terrific.

Great menu choice, all served with attention to detail by friendly staff. Return again and again.

Super meal. The Greyhound is stylish, friendly and the food a real treat. Great friendly service. A consistent 5/5 every time we go.

Mussels excellent quality and expertly prepared. Game faggot very tasty. Excellent service overall and great dining experience at a reasonable price

A quality fish and chip lunch for 3 ex-work colleagues. The fish was cooked perfectly. The fish batter was 'crisp and dry', small but adequate mushy peas and tartar sauce. Recommended.

Fantastic foods. Great setting. A very enjoyable date night in a wonderful atmosphere. Staff were more than attentive. Will definitely return.

The staff were friendly and attentive. The food was exceptional. It has gone straight to the top of my leaderboard for Sunday roasts and puddings!! I strongly recommend this pub.

The new seasonal menu had just been launched and the menu offered dishes which promised usual combinations of flavours. It delivered an excellent dining experience. Dishes like the Pigeon with salsify, fig and liquorice were perfectly balanced and a real joy to eat. The main...
