As good as it sounds ….

David Gelkin

This is an authentic British low ceiling pub full of history and mystery. The grub is lovely and the wait to receive it even though long, allows time to look around the pub decor in finer detail. Time moves slower if you allow it. It’s easy to relax and forget your worries in this family establishment which is also dog friendly. The prices are not crazy and the portions are reasonably sized. On the entrance to the historic Corfe castle, this is a must stop for a warm cup of tea or coffee and a cream and jam scone.

Really enjoyed our experience at The Greyhound Inn, food was delecious and well presented, it also came out very fast! Can’t say anything negative about it. Very close to the castle, in fact the pub has a “secret entrance” out the back that leads right to the main gate of the castle. I imagine in summer it must be a great setting in the back garden to have a pint with the backdrop of the castle. Friendly staff and a lively atmosphere, highly recommended!

Great location and wonderful food. Huge garden. I have many dietary restrictions and staff was able to advice confidently on what could be made gluten and dairy free and what couldn’t. I ended up ordering a gluten free base pizza with vegan cheese and it was the best I’ve had in ages. My 8 year old son also said his standard mozzarella pizza was the best ever, especially the crust. Highly recommended.

Karl Irons

We love this pub, the location, the service and the food are all great. We come here every time we visit the area. They have their own pizza kitchen and the kids love them, way better than a salty Domino’s. With Corfe castle in the back garden this place is wonderful to us.

Sophia Cipriani

Choose a table indoors to get that pub feel or outdoors in the beer garden with a lovely Castle on the hill as the backdrop. Order food and within 10-15 mins you will have tasty hot food. The food looks great and tastes better.
I’m glad I went for lunch.

Nina Salgado-Nacke

I come here every year without fail and it is honestly on my top list of places in the world. The food is incredible, staff are friendly, the view of the castle from the garden is incredible. I have been coming for 15 years and not had a single bad experience!

Graham McKay-Smith

Helpful and engaging bar staff, good menu of quality food, superb selection of drinks. Even when very busy the food arrived very quickly. They really make the most of the location. A credit to great management and staff.

Daisy Ryan

Absolutely loved it!! We sat outside with the castle ruins right in front of us and ate the most delicious meal!! It really added to our already incredible day! Next time I’m in the village, i’ll definitely be stopping here again!

Seth Yates

Good pub right in the centre of Corfe Castle. The rear garden has a great view of the castle. Good home cooked food and good selection of real ales on tap.

Adrian Jackson

Lovely food!! Really is in one of the most iconic locations in the country, the wired dog is a must see inside too, barbing not barking!

Dave Hollis

This is our favourite Corfe pub. Beautiful old English pub. Ideal for popping in for lunch and a pint during your visit or after a walk.

Ferdie Ferret

A day trip to Corfe, pub dog-friendly (with treats) and they were having a seafood week. Grub was excellent, scallops so beautifully done, reasonable prices & excellent value. Would go there again.

Keith Bragg

Christmas party night, food fantastic, good music and company, all the staff worked hard to look after us, great night out
