Old Boots left this review about The Greyhound

A rather restaurant oriented village pub, the “at Bagby” part of the name being a give away, the twist here is that the menu is mainly Turkish including some of the wine. The original pub remains at the front as a single square room, there are a few dining tables and chairs although a larger posing sized one and some armchairs make an appearance. To the back is a more formal restaurant in a later extension along with some pleasant toilets. The stone built counter is in the rear left corner and houses three hand pulls with Black Sheep Bitter and Finisher, plus Theakstons Best on offer, usual sort of line up with seven solos serving Guinness, Moretti, San Miguel in zero and full fat forms, Carlsberg, Hobgoblin IPA and a cider catering to keg drinkers of most persuasions. Non structural ceiling beams, a stone pillar and fireplace, with a large mirror framed with railway sleepers, actually give the place an open bright look. The other corners are panelled to dado level in grey wood but it’s a light grey so less objectionable than darker shades. Decor is provided by tasteful water colours, and etchings of English scenes, along with photographs of the pub and a newspaper cutting about its latest incarnation. A carved greyhound surveys the bar from a window sill. There’s a front and a side outside seating / smoking areas. No muddy boots!
