Greyhound Bar
& CluB

     

 

The Greyhound was described in 1744 as a 'publick' house which is the common term for all manner of wickedness. The Greyhound was also a popular stop for Parish Officials and at a visitation here in 1769 they enjoyed a sumptuous feast of beef, fowls, bacon, bread and butter, with wine, porter, beer and tobacco. Today some of these culinary delights can still be enjoyed by our customers. In 1829, those 'beating the bounds' of the parish were refreshed with nine gallons of porter valued at 15 shillings, and as much bread and cheese as they could eat. The pub was re-erected in 1871 by Edwin Jones and shortly after rebuilt in 1930 from which the building maintains its original form. The gold painted greyhound and large entrance lantern still stand as a permanent feature and a reminder of the pub's history since 1871.
