A longish main room with the bar to the the rear, to the left of the bar as you face it the room continues but is semi divided into a couple of areas with a pool table at the far end out of view. There is a beer garden behind the pub where a trio were setting up for some live music. The interior decor is rather mixed some wood panelling, albeit fairly modern in nature, some exposed brick as well as some wallpaper with a Pheasant theme, the flooring equally mixed with carpet, slate tiles and parquet wood.
The beer selection has improved since Quinno's day, still five handles on the bar and beers today were Tribute, Bowman British IPA a duo from Stonehenge, Heel Stone and Danish Dynamite leaving one vacant stick.
It's not a bad pub and worth the look.

Quinno _ left this review about The Greyhound
A few paces up the hill, this one doesn’t look immediately inviting as the exterior is a bit shabby and upon entering there was the distinct whiff of stale cigarettes. A traditional two room interior. Points of note included a pool table, trophy cabinet, muted sports TV, black & white pictures of old Overton, some retro Schweppes prints and, unusually, some glazed earthenware pots on the window sill. Five pumps, four ales (GK IPA, OSH, Upham Sprinter, Skinners Betty Stogs). The Betty Stogs was OK but lacking a little sparkle. Loads of bar snacks, you won’t go hungry. Great banter amongst the (almost exclusively male) regulars, those who enjoy Viz would get a good laugh here. I quite liked it though it could be even better. GBG 2014 listed.

Old Boots left this review about The Greyhound
Two old cottages knocked through to give a large single open internal space that doesn't quite work. A pool table, dart boards and TV take up most of one end with comfortable seating around the remaining parts. Décor is plain white walls with a few brewery mirrors and some old photos of the village and some of the pub's customers and events. Beers from Greene King, Marstons, Wadworths and Deuchars as well as a fairly standard keg range. The Deuchars I had was definitely lacklustre and not long for this world.
