Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Service charge

Dec 2022 • friends

Stopped after a walk for drinks & lunch. Had a drink at the bar then sat down for lunch in the pub area. We had 2 ploughman lunches at £13.00 each, no apple or nuts, could have asked if we had any food allergies… it’s the little things! Prob not worth the money. Also ordered at the bar 3 drinks, the bar man insisted he’d bring them over. Paid on the way out then left, was over charged for 7 pints plus a service charge, which I’ve never had in a pub… for drinks to be bought over before. Had to go back to get refund.. disappointed… we’ll find another walk next time.

Met up with a very dear friend

May 2021 • none

Met up with a very dear friend today who is not seen since last year. Champagne on ice as I arrived and we both ordered the Caesar salad. My friend wanted hers without chicken, I had chicken and bacon... must say good was lovely and the waitress was very attentive and helpful, would definitely come here again and looking forward to it getting back to “normal” as has always been one of my favourite pubs to visit in summer months.

Great atmosphere good food.

May 2021 • none

Our first night out since lockdown and was not disappointed. This is a traditional pub serving great food- not fancy but tasty and plentiful. Clientele were mixed creating a friendly and happy atmosphere. Staff enhanced this by their friendliness and efficient service. A great place to go for a casual night out.

Terrible place. The service was slow. The food offered was different from the food advertised in the board. Big plates with tasteless food.gluten free Bread hard and unbeatable The decoration is dated. On the whole, one of worst eating experiences of my Life. The only good thing is a dog friendly place.

A friendly pub with hearty portions of food

Aug 2023 • friends

We had a late lunch here during the week. The staff were friendly and helpful in the face of confusing customers like me who read a "w" meaning with (chips) as a "v" and thought it was a veggie pie. it would be great if there was a veggie pie on the menu. There were good portion sizes for the food we had, which included ham and eggs, a salad and a cream of mushroom pasta. A review below says that the pub is not dog friendly. It is now. It is quite a big pub with plenty of space for dogs. Also they have a raised area where dogs are not permitted, which I think is good for people who might be nervous of dogs, so I think that's very good. I was too full after the pasta to have the rhubarb crumble. The landlady kindly offered to give me want to take away. I declined as I really was very full, but the next time I am in that neck of the woods, and I will have a cup of tea and a rhubarb crumble which comes with either custard or ice cream. I will also give them a double tip as I thought that service was included in the bill, but a closer examination of the receipt with my glasses on showed that it was not.

Group dinner

Jan 2023 • none

10 of us went for dinner to say farewell to some Australian relatives returning after a visit. Pub was obviously quiet as it was straight after NewYear. The service was very good and the meals we had were excellent. A particular hit were the chicken burgers ( bacon was wonderful) and the Mac and cheese special. Despite generous portions most managed very good ice cream …. Including the dog who had their own ‘doggie’ ice cream. Would certainly recommend and will definitely be returning

Excellent dog friendly restaurant

Dec 2023 • family

If you go for a festive meal it can sometimes be over priced and not very good. This was definitely not the case. The meal was amazing. Very generous portions. Very tasty. Reasonably priced. No rush for us to vacate the table. Friendly staff. We took the dog with us as the pub is very dog friendly. I can’t recommend this place enough. We eat there various times throughout the year and it’s always excellent.

Unfriendly staff and needs a good tidying up

Aug 2020 • family

Attended just before lockdown, I appreciated that the staff had extra pressure during this period but custoner service was just terrible. Very unfriendly feel to the whole place. Also it seemed that the locals were not required to socially distance and were above the rules. The building itself has much potential, good fundamental layout, but does require substantial investment to bring up to current expectations. Sadly I will not be coming back again, at least until it changes management.

Nice pub overlooking the common with good food too

Aug 2021 • none

We popped in for a quick lunch to celebrate boys A level results and had a very good lunch with decent drinks. The only quibble was having bacon in the seafood chowder which I wasn't expecting and was not shown on the menu. I would have preferred no bacon and would have asked for it to be omitted. However, all of the other dishes we had were very good and a reasonable price too. I would recommend this pub and would visit again.

Give pubs credit where credits due, working their butts Off

Jun 2021 • couples

Pub owners / staff already worked hard before Covid times but now they are literally running round like headless chickens now. Between cleaning , table service and every other regulations now. Really feel for them. So maybe give all that a thought before you complain about waiting or anything else I have seen first hand how hard they are all working. Lovely evening as always with the lovely friendly wellcoming staff at the greyhound pub. Thank you :-)

Great lunch spot after dog walking

Jan 2023 • friends

Visited at lunch time on a grey January day. Staff were very welcoming. The food was very good, especially the vegetables , lots of them and the broccoli was just right - not hard and not soggy. Our dog as always loved her doggy sausage. Thanks for a great lunch.

Just a little more love needed.

Dec 2023 • couples

Went for lunch and the food was excellent. Service was good until a few more people arrived and then we seemed to be forgotten for a while. If you don't have a dog with you then you are in the minority as the place is all about canine companians and their associated noises and smells. The entrance could do with a little love. Cigarette ends on the floor and advertising boards and a parasol stacked to one side. Personally I would sweep up the litter and store items elsewhere just to make the place look tidy and cared for. I think if the management went outside and approached the main door and tried to view what they see through the eyes of a customer they might get my point. Not complaining just trying to help by pointing out where improvements could be made.

Lovely pub, great food

Aug 2024 • couples

Called in for lunch after a bank holiday walk on the common. Pub was not too crowded and we were served at the bar quickly. Two local real ales, both good and well-kept. Food took a short while to arrive while we waited in the sunny garden. My cheddar ploughman's was generous and fresh- how great to get a ploughman's as these seem to have fallen from favour. My wife had a special; prawn, avocado and cream cheese baguette and chips. Again very tasty and generous. We struggled to finish our meals! The only small quibble was the indifference of the bar staff. On arrival we were not "greeted" and indeed the 2 barmen were carrying on a private conversation all the time they were pouring our beers. Efficient, yes, but somewhat lacking in enthusiasm and/or professionalism. Aside from that we would strongly recommend this large semi-rural pub for a good lunch. Value for money too.

Slow service

Jan 2023 • family

We revisited the pub for food as had previously had a lovely experience there. Pub wasn’t busy as it was after the lunch hour rush but we waited over an hour for our food. Tables that arrived after us were served their food before us. Food wasn’t as enjoyable as last time. Service charge is included and it should be optional. It’s a treat for us to go out as a family for a meal so this was a disappointing experience and one we won’t go back and try again.

Proper pub - very dog friendly

Feb 2022 • none

We've been here several times over the past six months and heartily recommend it. Great home cooked food and good selection of ales. Staff and locals friendly - a rarity these days. it's how a pub should be. After a super pie of the day plus sausage for the dog we had a lovely walk around Keston Common. We'll be back.
