Charming

Taking hospitality back to its roots with a warm welcome from our genuinely friendly team breathing new life back into the heart of the community.
The menu will offer daily, hyper-seasonal specials, and plenty of British game, meat and fish. Executive chef and owner, Jamie Dobbin is passionate about local sourcing and traditional dishes, such as Half dozen Porthilly rock oysters with shallot dressing, Brixham King scallops with burnt butter cauliflower and caviar or Portland hogget Shepherd’s pie with grilled cutlet.
Serious meat lovers can expect 45 day aged native and rare breed steak on offer as well as a hero dish of Beef Wellington for two. Fish is of course wild, sustainable, and British, sourced from day boats on the South coast with the daily catch delivered straight to the door in a matter of hours. There is a handsome bar menu too, and as always, Sunday roasts are a big fixture on the menu every week.

Lovely evening with friends, atmosphere was excellent so was the service! We had drinks and nibbles which was so nice. Thank you all for a wonderful experience. Only thing I can be negative about is parking! Probably the time of year getting towards Christmas.

Great food, excellent menu, lovely level of service - especially the Sommelier - her knowledge and attention to detail always impresses us and is much appreciated, a real asset for the Greyhound. The service was not rushed, the tables are not overcrowded, we are made to feel welcome when we arrive, by far the best Gastro Pub in the area and good value for money given the quality. Negative comment - needs a bigger car park, but that is being fussy - we always manage to park in the end and many pubs in the area suffer the same issue at busy times.

Great service and atmosphere. It’s a really lovely pub most of the time the food is great, however on the occasions the desserts were a bit of a let down.

Had an enjoyable evening with friends. Waiter service was fabulous but this is my third time at the greyhound and the food is very disappointing. I had the rolled chicken which was dry and small for what they charged, others had shepherds pie average and fish again small portion but average. Greyhound you are at a great location but seriously the food needs to improve.
