The pub consists of three main areas known as the lounge bar, the gun room, (although no guns are in there these-days), and a small snug like bar the other side of what appears to have once been an inglenook fireplace. Quarry tiled floors and exposed ceiling timbers add to the rural ambiance. Outside (viewed from the front) there is a carpark to the right, whilst to the left of the pub is a large lawned garden furnished with numerous picnic tables. Opens 9.30am on Saturdays for breakfast brunch. The 28 bus stops outside.

Historic Interest

There is no evidence of the existence of the Greyhound before 1863 when it first appears in a trade directory. It is believed the Pub was originally 3 cottages, the oldest of which dates back to 1680, this is thought to be what is now the entrance and dining area around the old fire place. The cottage is thought to have been built around an old tree which is still present, this has been bricked into the fire place area, and the original beams are still present.
