The Greyhound, Hendon, NW4

When I visited early last Sunday afternoon the Greyhound was populated with the older generation of the area who appreciate a decent well kept establishment like this one. It’s an L-shaped pub with the bar at the front and a room to the right up some steps that houses a dartboard and projector screen to accompany the plasma screen in the bar area. To the right hand side is a longer room that has a fireplace on the back wall and all of the tables in here had been pushed together and set up for the imminent arrival of a large party of diners. Being a Youngs house Ordinary and Special were available on hand pump alongside Bombardier, Doom Bar and Courage Best. There was also a standard draught selection and Staropramen was the premium option. A few savoury snacks in the form of breadsticks and crisps were on the bar which I thought was a nice touch. Surprisingly there is a quiz each Monday and Wednesday with the resident quizmaster hosting one and a guest quizmaster doing the other. There was also an advertisement for jazz that is played on the last Thursday every month. This pub is also attractive from the outside as there are a few hanging baskets and some benches can be found under an awning. This is far from a raucous pub and the most exciting thing going on was a game of dominos, but I liked it and would have no problem returning.
