After reading their website and being assured vegetarians are catered for as the directors are vegetarian we were lucky to get anything vegetarian. They just managed to scramble together a Mushroom Risotto for my partner of which lacked good seasoning as did my Haddock Dish. A bit pricey I thought for standard of food. Service very friendly and helpful but... More

Visited on a Saturday night for my birthday and sat in the restuarant area. Food was excellent and the service was good. Friendly and helpful staff. My husband loved the belly of pork and I enjoyed my stuffed chicken. My only complaint was the chairs were a bit uncomfortable towards the end of the meal. They are the pub style... More

The Greyhound is a lovely Inn in a lovely village in Dorset. The food was very good. Can thoroughly reccomend the seafood stew and the belly of pork with crackling. Good portions. The only let down was the service; very nice and polite staff, but two less than were required. We went on a busy Friday night and there were... More

We were two couples staying for one night at The Greyhound Inn. The Inn is situated in a nice little village not far from Dorchester and the Jurassic coast. The guestrooms are located in a separate building (used to be the stables) opposite the Inn. Both Rooms were spacious and of very high quality. The Inn has free Wifi both... More

We had heard good reviews about the Greyhound so decided to try out, in general the village is very picturesque, attentative service and a good ambience to the pub. However some parts of the pub were literally on there last legs and the food although charging top prices left a bit to be desired. When ordering 'fresh fish - catch... More

Went to this pleasant pub in the heart of the picturesque village of Sydling St Nicholas for lunch. It was worth the journey as the service and home cooked food were both of a good standard. This was a pleasant change when most pubs these days seem to think they can get away with serving microwaved maufactured frozen rubbish from... More

We went here for lunch on Good Friday and enjoyed it very much. The village is very pretty and the drive to it is along winding country lanes following the crystal clear stream. Upon arrival we found the garden well stocked with flowers and large tables and chairs within it. There was also a children's play area around the side... More
