The Greyhound in Brentwood is a country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character. Our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

A little Pub history
The inn was open for business during the First and Second World Wars, and is reputed to have been a haven for German prisoners of war. The soldiers, who were held half a mile away at the Costain compound, used to sneak to the inn where they enjoyed a few drinks before heading back to their camp.

Make a day of it
With its huge gardens is a 'drive-out' destination to be enjoyed by the whole family. We are a real country pub in the traditional Essex weatherboard style, tucked away down a quiet lane.

Have been to this venue on many occasions and the food is always great. However, the service on Sunday was poor. 3 of us asked for the trio roast (turkey, beef & pork) to be told the turkey had sold out (at 3:30 on a sunday). We asked for lamb or something else to replace it but were told the whole dish was off of the menu and we weren't allowed 2 meats or a substitute. So 2 of us ordered beef, I ordered the lamb. The size of the lamb in comparison to the beef was actually funny - my 2 friends were laughing at the size of the meat portion specifically (the rest, veg, potatoes etc were fine). When we called the waitress over, she went to get the Manager. The Manager turned up to the table, puffed out her cheeks & said "I've been told to come over?" She really could not be less interested in this fiasco and had no interest in appeasing the situation. Essentially - it is what it is. We ate what we had and carried on. It's a shame. Atmosphere & quality of the food was great. The service was pretty poor. Would have recommeded to people previously - I wouldn't now.

My worst ever experience. Table of 8:- every order had at least one problem. Staff started by telling us what wasn’t available. We placed our order and waited. Over the next couple of hours the waitress returned 4 separate times to ask some of our party to change orders as their previous choice was no longer available. Finally after 2.5 hours the food started to arrive. We chose to leave rather then eat the food served to us which was either raw, cold, or overcooked and mostly a combination of all these things on the same plate. Simply disgusting.

I like this venue but appeared to be understaffed leading to delays in taking and bringing our orders. I have been visiting since 2013 and food is consistently good and value for money. Staff are always welcoming

Had lunch on a sunny Saturday afternoon with a couple of friends. The weather was delightful. Could have had a table outside, but the menu is slightly reduced and didn't want to be surrounded by smokers (unsure if they can smoke on the terrace, but didn't want to take a chance).

Roast potatoes undercooked. Nobody asked if we wanted another drink or if food was ok. Empty plates sat on the table for 20 minutes with several members of staff ignoring. Waited another further 15 to pay after we asked for the bill.

So disappointed with the food today. Loads of items missing, the special board wasn’t read out to us. Veg was hard and meat was fatty.
