"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."

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 not big dogs and don 't do massive anything)? Even if one of them did have an accident, do you not think I would have informed someone, or do you take such a dim view of your customers to assume I would not? My mother believed she heard the landlord make a disparaging comment about my dogs to one of the waiting staff. The whole unnecessary incident made me feel embarrassed and humilated in front of other diners. If we had not had such an arduous journey to get there, we would have left. I did enjoy the roast chicken but my Mum 's roast beef was mostly inedible stringy and tough. She left half of it. Also the roast potatoes appeared to be the frozen variety. On a more positive note the waiting staff were polite, attentive and were kind to my dogs; we appreciated that.
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.
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.
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!
