The Greyhound Inn - Carta

A pale shadow of what this pub once was. Under new management? I can only imagine so. Locals, we will not be returning. Served the wrong food and the wrong drinks, with little effort at an apology or an attempt to make amends. And charged the full, eye-watering price for the pleasure.

After exploring the beautiful Minterne Gardens, we chose to have lunch at the Greyhound Inn and we were very happy with our decision. The Sunday lunch was outstanding, made with all local ingredients. I opted for the roast lamb, which was delicious. This charming pub is located in a peaceful Dorset village and we highly recommend it. Please note that it is advisable to book a table in advance.

Chris and all the staff were amazing and couldn't be more helpful, friendly and accommodating! The food was delicious and served in a lovely setting. A well stocked bar and super outdoor seating area was much appreciated after long walks in the stunning Dorset countryside! Our room was of a good size and well appointed, although a little maintenance and updating would be good moving forward. A beautiful location, in a quiet village setting, within easy distance for many wonderful walks and the coast. We will definitely be back! Ver carta

The fish curry was not to my taste. It mainly consisted of firm chickpeas in a gelatinous curry sauce from a chip shop, with a few pieces of fish and two prawns. The chickpeas that came with the lamb dish were the same as those in the curry. As a result, I didn't eat much. Despite the disappointing meal, the staff members were friendly and handled the situation well without us having to confront them. Although the menu and specials were not well communicated, I appreciate the staff member's sympathy, apology, and response to the situation.

We were booked for two nights in the Greyhound, a nice pub in a small village reached down narrow country lanes. We asked to be moved from our first room since there was no WiFi signal, and were moved to Ted where unfortunately there was also only a feeble or no signal. The room, whilst of a good size, had only tatty junk shop furniture, a tiny tv, and a very dated bathroom. It was not serviced during our stay. The breakfast was good with many choices, and we ate one dinner in the pub which was okay but pricey for what it was. We felt for the price we paid for b and b it should have been better.

Very disappointing experience from the food to the service. The older man behind the bar was quite rude when simply asked how much longer the food might be as we had children waiting to be fed and we had already been waiting 40 mins. We were the only people in at the point. The chicken pâté left a bad after taste and the bread was hard. Although the burger was tasty it is under cooked which is not stated on the menu. The club sandwich was almost inedible due to the bacon being so under cooked and the bread being hard. We weren't made to feel welcome in a local family pub, 8 people that wouldn't return. Ver carta

We ate here 2 or 3 years ago and returned eagerly especially having checked the website menu. But oh dear. Yes the surroundings and beautiful but the food and service just not ok. The garden as busy but not packed. A group nearby were complaining about their food but there’s always someone moaning isn’t there? We ordered the risotto which was ok a tad bland and a well done burger. Note well done. It arrived still mooing, served by a waitress who I’d watched back and forth wearing flip flops, she had tripped several times so was pleased it arrived whole. I asked for it to be cooked again. It was returned with a very crispy crust still pink in the middle. Now I know well done isn’t everyone’s...

This lovely place in the middle of a quaint little Dorset village near Dorchester, is where we come to now and then for special occasions as it is a bit of a journey from the outskirts of Bournemouth. That said we have always enjoyed our meals even though today we had to content with the road from Grimstone being shut and having to go up the A37 to the other turn off. This way gives you great views of the countryside with no houses in sight. We were welcomed on arrival and ordered drinks which soon came. Being 4 of us, 2 had the lovely rich pate while the other 2 had pulled pork teriyake style which was great, a bit spicy. For mains 2 of us had the beef stir fry which was very tasty with ple...

We visited The Greyhound a couple of years ago and like a few other reviewers, we were keen to return during our holiday this September. On this occasion, we had only been at our table for a matter of minutes when the landlord (I presume) called across the bar asking me if my dog had urinated on the floor. I replied that they had been to the toilet outside before coming in. The response from the landlord was to state that one of my dogs had just done a massive wee on the floor. My dogs are house trained and polite company in pubs and other venues. We walked straight to our our table from the door. Surely I would have needed to stop in the bar to let my dog do the said massive wee (they are n... Ver carta
