High Street, Whitchurch on Thames, RG8 7EL (View on Google Map)

Reopened on 27 February 2025 after a temporary closure from 17 February 2025 for a refurbishment that included a new bar and floor.

Reopened on 13 August 2021 as part of the Oak Taverns group. Previously owned by Punch Taverns, it had been closed from 22 July 2021 for refurbishment.

The Greyhound has a main L-shaped bar with a low ceiling and plenty of beams and wood panelling, with an updated contemporary, minimalist décor. It is a former ferryman's cottage. A small meeting/function room has been opened up to the right of the entrance, which can be booked by groups wishing to use it. The garden to the rear has also been refurbished to provide a covered paved patio area as well as a grassed area. It is an attractive setting, with seating for many customers. There is wheelchair access to the garden and WC, but not into the pub.

Three cask-conditioned beers are served, sourced nationally, regionally, and occasionally, locally, often from the newer small breweries. The pub is wet-led.

Pop up street food vendors operate on Friday and Saturday evening, and either Tuesday or Thursday evening from 5pm to 9pm (but not both Tue and Thu in the same week) and on Sunday from 2pm to 7pm. Typical offerings include pizzas, burgers and shawarma grills. The food is also available as a takeaway service.

South Oxfordshire CAMRA Pub of the Season for Winter 2023/2024.

There is a defibrillator on the corner of Manor Road, 100m north of the pub, located on the west side of the road in a disused red telephone box.
