The Greyhound in Guildford

Outstanding service and exceptional food. Faultless dining experience!

What a fantastic experience from the ambiance to the food! Absolutely top class service and made our anniversary a really special night to remember. Tommo was fantastic with his service and Dan the owner even took on a personal tour of the entire venue with a detailed history of everything from the cocktails to the building! We have already booked our next dinner and can’t wait to see what new delights will be on offer, if you’re in Beaconsfield this place is a must and if you don’t have time to try their exceptional tasting menu, then why not have a beer or a cocktail with some excellent nibbles!

I've eaten at many top restaurants and this place is right up there.Waiter was friendly and explained every dish with confidence. Meeting the owner Margriet and having a quick chat at the end was great.My wife said it was the best dessert she's ever had. For me, every dish was of a high standard. Compliments to the Chef and his team. This establishment is definitely going places.

A beautiful cosy spot in lovely Beaconsfield, we were taken here on our anniversary by our lovely aunt who lives local. I’m a huge fan of fine dining and this place was wonderful! What a lovely dinner, the dishes were exquisite and the pace was perfect to really enjoy your time and experience with all the food and flavours! We did the tasting menu for the 4 of us - it was amazing! Every dish could not be faulted, it was hard to pick a favourite, although the lamb will hold a special place in my heart as I do enjoy a good piece of lamb, and the lovely soup dish!! The staff are so friendly, we were given a small tour of the lovely place after - stunning dining area upstairs perfect to hire out! The outdoor seating area is also fantastic! The owner also kept checking in on us which was just so nice and welcoming :) fantastic place - highly recommend! Thank you all for making our anniversary special, thank you Dan, Marquit, Luca, Emma, Tom, Don, James, Otte, Isabelle, Lauren and Hannah. Sorry if I missed anyone or spelt any names wrong!!

Always an excellent experience, a great example of a restaurant that cares which is very hard to come by nowadays. Very attentive staff, particularly surrounding allergies and they make the experience effortless. Often dining out is a bit of a mixed bag, my partner is coeliac and I always feel comforted that the greyhound is all over it.Fresh seasonal menus, huge wine selection and the knowledge to back it up.I really enjoy visiting and will continue to, keep up the good work gang.The negative reviews are laughable, some people wouldn't know a good restaurant if it hit them in the face.

My husband and I had a wonderful evening at The Greyhound. We chose the tasting menu and couldn't have been happier with our choice. The food was delicious, and we were blown away by the impeccable choices in wine pairings! Lauren and Hannah provided top notch service, as did the owner and other staff members who welcomed us so warmly. We look forward to our next date night at The Greyhound!

Wow, I was not expecting this level of culinary and service excellence when I was invited to lunch here. There is a reason this venue has the highest star rating I've seen. This is not a place to go when you are hungry, but every mouthful will be packed with flavour and finesse. Heading back there tomorrow with the wife, she wants to experience it herself.

On our previous visits including a tasting menu , sunday lunch and last year’s outside dining experience we’ve enjoyed fabulous food and service. But after our lunch yesterday I can honestly say that the bar has been raised to the next level. The service is still as good as it gets but the food under the inspiration of head chef James and pastry chef Chris was definitely the best we’ve had so far at the Greyhound.So now on to saturday which started with our hour long drive from east to west arriving in the delightful town of Beaconsfield. It is here that you will find the Greyhound. When we entered we received a fabulous greeting from Tom , Hannah and other members of the team before being escorted upstairs to our table. While catching up with Tom it was nice of them to treat us to a welcome back complimentary glass of sparkling wine which was followed by a delicious savoury choux bun.While looking at the menu it was nice of owners Daniel & Margriet to come over for a nice chat and tell us about their exciting plans for the future which had already started with a bit of refurbishment upstairs and downstairs. Now on to the menu where there’s a choice of a lunch menu , a la carte or our decision the tasting menu. With this we chose a fabulous light and fruity Bulgarian Pinot Noir that complimented a majority of the dishes nicely. We started with bread and butter which was followed by a beetroot and pink peppercorn amuse bouche.We now move on to the first course of Burrata di Bufala with a walnut pesto and broccoli that was absolutely delicious. This was followed by a favourite of mine Veal Sweetbreads with jerusalem artichokes and capers that didn’t disappoint in the slightest. Next to arrive was the amazing Orkney Scallop with caviar , pickled chilli and cucumber.Next on the list was the optional supplemented Perigold Truffle Gnocchi with chive and parmesan. As my wife enjoyed this I just couldn’t resist a dish on the a la carte menu. This was an Octopus Terrine with confit potato , red cabbage purée and lemon that was easily one of the best octopus dishes I’ve ever had.We now moved to the main course of the menu a heavenly Harewood Estate Venison Loin with a fantastic cottage pie , smoked cherries and trompettes. This led us to the cheese course and a delight it was to. A Wensleydale cheese with cranberry and thyme which was a nice change from the norm.Now it was time for dessert but not before enjoying a delicious Pineapple and Pink Peppercorn drink. This led us to the dessert itself and a fabulous creation from pastry chef Chris. This was a 46% Valrhona Bahibe Chocolate with malt , passionfruit and caramel that was definitely the best dessert we’d had at the Greyhound.We then received a nice surprise when head chef James came up for a chat. This was great as we could personally thank him for the amazing food which we told him was the best we’d had at the Greyhound. He was delighted to hear this but you could see that himself and the team were ready to push on to the next stage of their progression.We finished with coffee and petit fours to bring to an end a fabulous dining experience. The food here has definitely been raised to a higher standard so yes I would highly recommend a visit. You will also be given the very best service led by Daniel , Margriet , Andrius , Hannah and Tom. We certainly can’t wait to make a return visit again soon.Thank You Daniel , Margriet and all the team for a fantastic lunch and look forward to seeing you all again soon

Just the very best place! Everyone is happy and friendly, the atmosphere is delightful, and the food … oh, my word … the food … Would strongly recommend the taster menu, with wines to match. It is obvious that a great deal of hard work and thought has gone into the whole experience.The Team might be in the top 100 (and congratulations, by the way) but for me and My Girl, it’s number one.

Amazing! Everything here is top notch. From the moment you step into the pub, the friendly welcome, the superb service, the gourmet and beautifully presented dishes… an experience that is hard to forget!
