Restaurant Review: The Greyhound

We have been eager to try some of the gastropubs located in the English countryside. Yesterday, during our driving adventure we made a slight detour to The Greyhound, located in an old coaching inn on the single main street in Stockbridge.

It was lunch, and we dined sans wine, so we did not have the full dining experience – but still found it quite pleasant. The 15th century low ceilings meant that we had to duck on the way to the lady's room but confirmed our presence in a country pub.

Linda had a cauliflower crème soup and a linguine dish that was rich but delicious; Heather’s Scottish rib-eye was the best beef we have tasted since we arrived in the U.K. The chef, Darren Bunn worked at the Criterion Grill in the West End before moving to Stockbridge, and has earned The Greyhound a Michelin star for the past two years.

Ratings (5 is the highest, most perfect score)

Food: 3
Service: 4
Ambiance: 3 (in that typical low-beams, big-fireplace, 15th century building style)
Verdict: Would return if we were in the area

OK if you are interested in proper food coupled with a nice drive to the country then Bray is the place to visit. Bray is a quiet very small village on the river Thames that boasts by far the highest standard of restaurants anywhere in the world.

Among them are:

The Fat Duck (3 Michelin stars [voted second best restaurant in the world last year])
The Waterside (3 Michelin Stars)
The Riverside brasserie (fat duck owned)
The Hinds Head Hotel (fat duck owned)
The Crown (great traditional pub food)
The Jasmine (good quality Chinese food)

It's a beautiful picturesque village with amazing character.
