Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the friendly, welcoming staff, with the landlady and bar team described as making everyone feel looked after, whether locals or visitors. Close behind is the steady run of entertainment: live music on weekend nights, karaoke on Fridays, darts, pool league and quiz nights. Sunday roasts get strong praise, with one diner describing honey roast parsnips, homemade roasties and roast beef at an anniversary lunch, and another calling the pizza a surprise from someone who is not a pizza fan. Midweek basket meals draw a more modest response, described as tasty and good value by some and just ok by one. Private events also come up, with one group hiring the kennel bar for a baby shower and engagement party and another hosting a function, both praising the buffet and the food. One reviewer found only one ale on during a Monday visit, though it was kept well, and finished by saying the staff looked after them throughout the evening.

“We recently hosted a private function at The Claydon Greyhound, and everything was spot on. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious and got rave reviews from our guests. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, which made the event feel special. I highly recommend them if you’re planning any kind of gathering—top-notch experience all around!”

“We hired the kennel bar for our friends baby shower/engagement party and it was amazing. All the staff are so helpful and friendly. The buffet was great value for money. We can’t thank you all enough for making it such a memorable event. Planning our next event there soon!! 😍”
- Ricky Blair
“How has this amazing place not been voted pub of the year in the region?! First-class service and friendliness, with entertainment on an extremely regular basis. Racheal, Casey, and everyone else work so hard to make everyone feel welcome, to put on a fun and varied range of activities, and just get those small, yet often important details right. At a time when so many pubs appear to have forgotten the basics of inter-personal skills and making cuminmers feel welcome, Racheal and Casey will genuinely make you feel welcome, and an enjoyable time for all is guaranteed.”
