The Greyhound Inn sits at the foot of the majestic ruins of Corfe Castle. This sixteenth century public house serves delicious, British food to the region's countless visitors.
Under the leadership of Head Chef Craig Watkins, the menu showcases the best of Dorset's produce. Beef, lamb and venison are all sourced from local farms, whilst fresh fish is acquired from the nearby coastal bays of Swanage and Kimmeridge. With all dairy procured from Weymouth and the bread delivered from the village's bakery, The Greyhound Inn is a true supporter of local producers. The varied menu focuses on British cuisine, creating honest hearty dishes with a slight twist on the traditional. Small dishes of crispy fresh Dorset crab balls and pan seared spiced squid, vie with larger tempting options like the Dorset piggy platter, Curtis the butcher's handmade faggots, and tasty pizzas. The Greyhound Inn caters for non-meat eaters, and there is a good selection of children's meals. Delectable desserts and a flavoursome cheese board conclude the menu. A generous wine list represents Europe and wines from around the world, with the list helpfully categorised by taste and fragrance. Alongside a refreshing glass of white, red or rosé, mulled wine and cider offer a warming beverage on a cold day.
Steeped in history, The Greyhound Inn?s rustic interior reflects its age and character. A truly scenic venue, the picturesque location provides an unrivalled outlook at the castle ruins. Unsurprisingly, the beer garden is a popular retreat for the inn's many visitors. Attracting tourists, ramblers and residents, The Greyhound Inn at Corfe Castle provides a family-friendly place in which to relax and dine, with regular live music creating a perfect fit for this hospitable venue.
