Fine old coaching inn, still operating in a similar way - although the horses have long gone - and it looks a picture (especially in the alleyway where the rear yard would once have been accessed). Apart from the main hotel parts, it benefits from having an unfussy and relatively pub-like bar open to all. With four of the five handpumps in use on a Monday evening, after a walk around the town and nearby Bitteswell, I found Doom Bar, Sharp's Atlantic, Proper Job and Oakham's Bishops Farewell (£2.45, half) being served.

The Greyhound is a fairly large three storey coaching inn that is now the only coaching inn left afer the demise of the Hind and Denbigh Arms. There is no front door to this pub the entrance is through the archway,once inside the main bar is to the front of the pub,this is a smallish square shaped room that had a wood floor and posh looking wooden pew type seating,there was a TV above the fire place showing football scores,this was quite a nice room to have a drink in,there was a posh looking dining area to the rear of the pub. There were three real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Adnams Broadside and ths was a nice drink,the other beers were Ruddles Best and Ruddles County. This is a more upmarket pub but as drinkers we were made just as welcome. Pub visited 16/3/2013
