Rooted in
village life.
Known previously as The Old Greyhound and The Pug and Greyhound, our pub has welcomed generations of villagers and visitors. Its Greyhound name is linked to the Nele family, whose coat of arms featured three greyhound heads.
By the mid-1700s, the inn was a stopping place for stagecoaches and mail coaches travelling along London Road. That tradition of welcoming people in continues today.
Welcoming guests
since the 1900s.
As our history shows, The Italian Greyhound has welcomed visitors for a stay since the early 1900s — and that tradition hasn't changed today. Our rooms next door offer the same warm welcome, now with modern comfort to match.
