The Greyhound
Inspected by
Inspector comments
"Exciting modern food in repurposed pub."
Overview
In the heart of Beaconsfield Old Town, The Greyhound is a handsome Grade II building overlooking a green. Low oak beams, exposed brickwork and an outdoor terrace add to the rustic charm of this 17th-century, former coaching inn. To the rear, a kitchen garden provides a steady supply of homegrown produce for the modern British dishes. Creedy Carver duck tart, beetroot, confit Portobello mushrooms and frisée is a deeply flavoured starter and could lead on to Icelandic cod, wild garlic and haricot bean purée, courgette and lemon.
