Lovely meals and good friendly service. The Camembert and the fish and chips were exceptional.
Good food and service highly recommend it was my wife’s Birthday. Easy booking online
March 2025. Nice pub and good food, we would go again.
The Landlord was very polite, professional and friendly. Food was good standard and we recommend the Pie of the Day in house special, very nice.A cosy pub restaurant with a nice fire.
The Sunday roast was absolutely delicious, would highly recommend this place, not just for the food but for the whole experience of dining there
The service was a bit slow, i know its mothers day, but we asked several times for extra gravy, nothing came out, 20 minutes wait for a drink
Food was tasty but cold. Cauliflower cheese was awful. Service was lovely
A lovely pub in a beautiful village. Food and staff great too
We arrived over an hour early, but was still accommodated without issue. Food & Service was fantastic.
Very nice Sunday roast with excellent service from the staff!
This was our 3rd visit and found the food and service to be above average. Unfortunately prices have increased such that they are £2 or £3 per dish above others in the area. This will put us off returning
Lovely food and overall experience will come back again it is our third time never disappoint
The greyhound was recommended to me by a friend. We weren’t disappointed
Great food and staff, really helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend
Great food and service. Lovely place to go and eat.
Superb quality Sunday Roast with great selection of vegetables and plenty of roast beef, friendly polite staff, one of the best roasts in the Purbecks.
Wonderful Sunday lunch and excellent service. We would definitely recommend.
Had an amazing Sunday lunch, staff were lovely and a great warm Cosy pub
Superb food, beautifully presented and an interesting menu. Can't wait to come back.
I arranged a surprise meeting for my partner and the guys played along fantastically. The food was amazing and the staff so friendly. What a lovely evening we had Thank you so much Ged Bearcroft
The best Sunday roast I have had in years. Would highly recommend the Greyhound without even mentioning the superb location.
Delicious, quality and filling Sunday lunch. Book early to avoid disappointment - it was fully booked with no room for walk-ins.
Generous delicious portions and polite, accommodating staff. Would definitely recommend.
Staff so welcoming and very pleasant, excellent service and great with our dogs always
Was okay. Too much on plate. Service OK. Couldn't eat it all
Fast and efficient service. Good size food portions that was well cooked.
When we have been before for Sunday lunch, the meat has been tender. This time the beef and the pork were quite tough. The rest was good.
Good service and food and a cosy atmosphere - excellent
First time visit. Food was really good, and delivered very quickly indeed. We all really enjoyed our meals
A bit underwhelming sadly. The staff were too busy chatting to come & welcome us & take us to our table. The place was pretty much empty, so no atmosphere. Food was ok but for NY eve nothing out the norm.
Good food, service fast but staff not overly interactive or smiley
Perfect in every way. Great service, very friendly staff and really delicious food. Great pub with lovely atmosphere. Everything we’d hoped for. We would recommend to everyone.
Superb meal and service highly recommend so pleased we booked
Beautiful rustic old inn right at the foot of the castle. The food was very enjoyable
We have dined many times over the years at the greyhound a d have always had a good experience but sadly not this time. We arrived and the place looked lovely as it always does particularly at this time of the year. We had a nice table. We then ordered our drinks and had to ask for the bottle of wine that had been ordered but had obviously been forgotten as we waited about 15 mins before asking. We then ordered our food we had a menu to choose from.a family member ordered a chicken snitzel with sauerkraut from the light bites list st £9.95 and some.mash. When she got hers it was huge plate if 2 snitzels and chips. She said she hadn't ordered all that which I can concur with and that it was way too much. It then transpired that there were 2 menus one of them being being your ALPINE MENU WHICH we were not given but the other one with the snitzel being a LIGHTBITE Having explained this the waiter did not apologise or OFFERr to change it and it was all rather embarrassing and not professional. So after a few mins deliberating I had to go to the bar and tell the waiter who is south African, that this plate of food was not ordered in this size!!! He then apogised and said that there were 2 menus running and the chef obviously got wrong bit it took me to go down and set it straight. It did somewhat dampen the evening and we were rather embarrassed by it as we live in swanage and were taking them.out to dinner.
What a beautiful pub in a wonderful location. Interesting and varied normal menu plus, in the winter, their Alpine Menu. We had a delicious traditional Fondue. It came with a huge selection of sides to which we added the deli meat and pickles which made a magnificent lunch. Absolutely brilliant. This was topped off with one of the best Apple strudels we've ever had. Great service, lovely staff and fab Christmas decorations. We'll be back to sample their fayre again.
Our only criticism is that they only had 1 choice of soup (caramelised onion, and my wife can't eat onions. Otherwise a delightful meal and the staff were very professional and attentive. We have been several times now as we live locally and really enjoy the food. The service is very good and one doesn't have to wait too long for the food to arrive. Would always recommend The Greyhound to friends and family. Thank you
Very good food and excellent service from the staff on Christmas Eve.
We visited the Greyhound with the family including Grandchildren, in the early evening following a ride on the Swanage Railway Polar Express as a Pre Christmas treat. The service was good, everyone was very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and plentiful. Happy Christmas to all at The Greyhound.
Amazing roast dinner and great service and great price for the quality :)
Lovely food and good service. We will definitely be back!
All was really good and felt very festive. Our seating was amazing and cosy. Only slight quibble, the menu is not clear that certain meals are burgers in buns - maybe the title of that section should be clear? I ordered a Smokey Steak and it was in a burger bun.
Great food and attentive staff. Lovely decorations. Great atmosphere. Will be back.
Lovely evening! Great food,, and service, huge portions! Lovely atmosphere
Loverly food and great service - never been disappointed here
Unfortunately the service was slow and our food came out at different times. Half of my husbands hot meal was cold. There were other people complaining that their food was cold. We didn't stay for desert as we were waiting too long to be served. We could see there wasn't enough staff and the staff that were there were rushed off their feet. The other mains at our table were enjoyed as well as the festive beverages.
The smell of strong cheese was over powering throughout the whole pub. It was quiet humours watching people come in and cover their faces . The fish and chips was very poor - described as all soggy. Service was good though.
Really friendly and attentive staff, lovely atmosphere in pub and such delicious food of generous portions. Thank you. 😁👍
A fabulous festive evening at The Greyhound; cosy and decorated beautifully for Christmas! The food was delicious, hot and fresh - all clean plates post meal! We all thoroughly enjoyed and can’t wait to return again soon. Thank you team 😊
The service was 10 out of 10 and the Sunday roast was one of the best we have had and the portion size was very generous. We would highly recommend The Greyhound Inn and we shall most definitely be returning
