The Greyhound Inn, Stafford

Village pub tucked away just off the main A51. I suspect this is normally a pub that attracts diners. They soon asked if we wanted food, as they weren't actually serving any on our Sunday evening visit. However, we were only there for a final drink of the day. Three real ales were on - Greene King Abbot, Morland Old Golden Hen & Peakstones Perigrine. Entering from the car park, you pass through what I recall to be a conservatory area into the main bar area. This stretches for some way to the rear left into an area that I assumed is used for dining. There is a large garden and car park. Both children and dogs are welcome.

A large multi-building pub and restaurant in white render. It has a beer garden and small caravan parking area. The interior is a rough U-shape. It has several different areas and when accessing the place via the main entrance from the car park the first area encountered is a small pool table area. Past this, there is a small bar area on a couple of levels, with the serving bar facing you. Walk around the serving bar and there is a large restaurant area, on a couple of levels, behind. The decor is all white, with beams in the slightly older bar part and a brick fireplace in the dining area, along with fairy lights and landscape and mountain pictures. I didn’t eat so I can’t comment on that, but meals were around the £10 mark. The service was very friendly and the clientele small, but mixed. There was no TV that I saw and the music was general and at a decent level. Beer; tap stuff, with GK IPA, Spekky Hen and a decent White Horse Scourer’s Brew on handpull. A decent mix of old and new, it seems to be a place that has grown organically over the years. I found it friendly and would happily pop back.
