The Greyhound Inn, Wantage

The Greyhound appears to be first and foremost a food-led pub nowadays. On our Sunday morning visit, serving staff were being briefed and they had 92 covers for the day. Whilst we were there, others were still arriving without reservations. Indeed, most tables were made out for dining with just a couple of high tables and stools adjacent to the bar available for drinkers. The wooden bar is just to the right as you enter. 4 cask ales were on - Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter, Theakston Best Bitter, Broadtown Upper Quadrant & Oakham OPA. SALT Jute was the pick of the keg beers. The ciders were Aspall's & Weston's Vintage. Cask ales and the guest draught beers are listed above the bar along with tasting notes and the distance the beer has travelled from brewery to pub. A board opposite the bar lists beers coming next, whilst the wine selection could be found on a beam. Payments are card only. The main bar has an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner directly opposite the entrance door. There is a further smaller fireplace with another wood burner at the far right hand end. There is a sunken area at the left-hand end and a fair sized room on a raised area to the rear of the bar. A small garden to the rear provides further seating. Not a bad pub, but it wouldn't survive without the dining trade. My Upper Quadrant was enjoyable though.
