Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Greyhound
Attractive village pub, albeit very much of the 'country dining' variety. Quite a small bar at the front (where the main entrance used to be) but the main counter serves the larger dining areas in a rear extension with a high, hall-like ceiling. All parts have smart modern furniture and decoration, and the rear patio seating area is also very smart. With three of the four handpumps in use, I found Wye Valley HPA, Enville Ale (£4.10) and Hobson's Town Crier being poured.

Popped in on a sunny afternoon and sat outside for a swift one, the garden is very nice with wonderful hanging baskets. Beer quality was excellent - a range of Ludlow Brewing co's beer on offer and the barman was knowledgeable about the beers (as they were new to me), asking my ale preference before recommending a beer.
Didn't see too much of the inside (didn't want to waste a bit of sunshine!) but I'll be returning soon.

A great country cottage style pub built around 1830 which is usually decorated with lots of nice colourful hanging baskets and is now owned by Enterprise Inns. The interior is split in to two areas by the pale wood island bar counter, at the front is a fairly traditional public bar area and at the back is a larger restaurant which is located in a modern extension. The public bar has the small bar counter at the back, slightly to the right and opposite the entrance, a large brick fire place in the right hand wall with a cast iron stove, some genuine wood beams and pillars dotted around, wood floor with a couple of rugs, mixture of traditional and more modern pub furniture, a couple of new wood settles in the left hand area, a large flat screen TV on the left wall showing the 1980’s Goonies film (a guilty pleasure of mine), various Wolves FC and West Brom FC memorabilia and photos on the walls. The restaurant has a small bar counter at the front, a marble effect tiled floor and modern chunky wood dining furniture. There are double doors at the back of the dining area which lead out to a paved patio with modern garden furniture and a grass area beyond with picnic tables. The car park is on the left of the pub and is entered from Greyhound Lane.
Regular ales are currently the house bitter Wye Valley Hare of the Dog and Enville Ale with two changing guest beers which were Hobsons Town Crier and Wye Valley Hereford Pale Ale (GBG 2012). I tried the house bitter and the Hobsons and found both to be in good condition. A nice selection of local breweries but I don’t think that I have seen anything other than golden hoppy beers on my visits, which is a bit of a shame, I personally don’t have a preference but I do like to see a varied selection of styles.
A brilliant country pub, the former land lady of the excellent Fountain in Lower Gornal took charge around six months ago, I have visited several times in the last couple of years and regardless of the recent change of management I have always found the beer to be well kept. I have not tried the food but I know that they have a good reputation for fresh local produce and quality which as mentioned in the previous reviews results in higher than average prices. The place is kind of styled as a restaurant with a public bar but the locals still treat it as a pub. I shall also visit again soon and may even eat if I can afford it.
