This picturesque village inn nestles by the village church. Originally a teasel barn and formally listed in CAMRA’s National Inventory for pubs with outstanding interiors. A low ceilinged flagged corridor leads to a tiny bar. Horse brasses and commemorative plates decorate walls in 2 rooms, sports paraphernalia and local history the other. Outside toilets add to the old world charm. A rare treat for those who love old country pubs.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

Delightful old pub in a limestone village – once a farmhouse-cum-barn, and first licensed in 1871. It consists of three small rooms linked by a side corridor, all with stone-flagged floors, low ceilings and wooden seating, but its actual evolution is not entirely clear. The likelihood is that the present main bar area, next to the servery, was converted from private accommodation soon after the Second World War and that a lot of its internal fitments are possibly of no great age in themselves. Until 1983, when new cellars were created, the Greyhound was locally-famous for its behind-bar stillaging.
