Komakino . left this review about The Greyhound Inn
A former Morland charge, as evinced by the dark blue and red-rimmed 'car park' sign and ceramic plaque of the ubiquitous artist to the left of the former entrance, and recently opened after a brief period of closure. The (current) entrance leads to a long, rectangular room with brushed bare floorboards and a bright, pine bar. Most, but not all, of the tables were set out for dining, which gives you an idea of this establishment's main focus (they serve food seven days a week). A raised area wraps around to the right of the bar to provide further dining, which also leads to the newly-landscaped, if a little soulless beer garden; overlooked by newish housing, and busy on a rare warm spell on a June Monday evening. Four ales were available: Marstons Pedigree, West Berks GOB (good), Shakespeare Bard's Best (decent) and Sadler's Cat's Pyjamas (also decent), all a reasonable £3.50 a pint (and halves charged £1.75 accordingly). A young and friendly barmaid was on good form, happy to offer 'try-before-you-buy' samples, and this would have scored higher if it weren't for the Radio 1-esque background muzak (think "contemporary R&B") which was slightly out of keeping with the ambience they appeared to be trying to create.
