I hope my experience wasn't the norm…read more Walking in you find a decent pub, nothing wrong, nothing to get excited about. Walking up to the bar, the service left a lot to be desired. It was a slow Monday night, but it took a while for anyone to acknowledge our presence. My friend and I both ordered food and drinks, and the woman behind the bar incorrectly rung in both of our food orders. She then proceeds to get my friend the wrong drink, and forgets to get mine altogether. We point it out, she fixes it, but no apology. Not a great start, but not a deal breaker yet. My friend ordered a steak and I a burger. Hers took 50 minutes to come to the table, mine took 70 minutes. Again this was a slow Monday evening, hardly anyone else there. When the food finally arrived, again no apology or explanation was offered, until I remarked that 70 minutes for a burger was an unusually long wait. The food was the redeeming quality of the pub, though I was not asked how I'd like my burger cooked. Regardless it was fresh and flavorful and the chips and slaw on the side were solid as well. With all the other options nearby I don't think I'll be coming back.

It's a huge pub and feels bright and upbeat unlike a lot of places in Streatham. They have a huge selection of beer, cider, and cocktails.

We booked a table for two at the Greyhound on 6th November at 6pm. We arrived about 45 minutes…read moreearly. We got a friendly greeting from the member of staff serving behind the bar. I was keen to see our table as what often happens when you book a table for two is that you are shoved in the corner on a tiny - often round - table, with limited room, which hinders the enjoyment of the dining experience. However, when we were shown to our table, I was relieved to see that the table they had allocated for us was a larger than usual table for two. A member of staff (I later found out it was Fran, the Landlady) came to talk to us and explained lots about the ale that they sold and how the ingredients - and the ale - were all locally sourced. I am an ale enthusiast; i have never been to a pub where none of the ales are familiar to me, which was a very pleasant surprise. They explained that all four ales came from within a thirty mile radius, with Larkins being brewed in Chiddingstone (which we knew as we had just been to Chiddingstone). The menu, whilst not extensive, was interesting and varied, which I think is a good thing. I had King Prawns as a starter followed by fish (haddock - again unusual) and chips. At first I thought the chips were overdone but in fact they had skin on and had been cooked to a tee. My prawns (in tempura batter with a rocket and watercress salad and a vinaigrette) were SOOOOO DELICIOUS and succulent. My wife had fishcakes which were seasoned so well, and the Morrocan lamb shank, which was SOOOO tender and tasty, as if it had been very slowly cooked for about two hours. I decided to try all four beers (well, it would be rude not to have done!!!) but with halves rather than pints. The flavours of all four were subtly but distinctly different, which I thoroughly enjoyed, especially the Larkins which, although only 3.4% abv, in a blind taste one could be forgiven for mistaking it for a more a beer with a bigger personality - I thought it would be, well.....watery, but I was mistaken. And the prices (£1.90 for a half) were very reasonable. Fran, the landlady and her husband obviously know what they're doing and do it VERY well. The menu is well thought out - I was pleased not to have to choose from about twenty different choices as this to me says "a jack of all dishes but a master of none". This is definitely NOT true of the chef at the Greyhound. So, keep to the "formula" that you know. We live in Crystal Palace - the Greyhound is about a forty minute drive, but well worth it. But don't take my word for it - try for yourself, but you need to book so as not to be disappointed. So many pubs serve food and ale which is, well....just "ok"; the Greyhound is NOT one of them. A lovely way to finish off our visit to Chiddingstone - the "cherry on the cake" - no, it wasn't on the dessert menu, but if it was, doubtless it would be made on the premises and be delicious. As Fran (the Landlady) said - the only ingredients that are bought in are the Ketchup and the brown sauce! Can't wait to go back - maybe for Sunday lunch to see what their Yorkshire puddings are like!!! Well done to all at the Greyhound - all you need is a car park (or maybe we just didn't find it!!!).

The atmosphere in here is good. Not once have I ever seen any trouble in here and the place enjoys a good reputation locally. Some of the older men in the pub even chatted to me for a while when I was at the bar which was nice. The pub is also right next to a car park which is convenient for if you are driving otherwise buses stop right outside the venue. There are also a number of good take aways within minutes walking distance should you feel peckish on the way home, everything from Chinese and Indian to pizza and fish and chips. The Royal Oak appears to be the heart of Northumberland Heath and should be checked out if you are in the area.

We booked for Sunday lunch with some friends. A pub that was half way between us. We walked in to a very friendly atmosphere. We noticed that the restaurant was ready laid and apart from the bar. Immediately we sat down drinks order was taken and, what seemed immediately, drinks arrived. Great service, so far. We all ordered their Sunday roast. Choice of four or five meats. The plates of food arrived, the HOT plates. Now that was a nice change. Normally it is on cold plates. Kept the food hot throughout the eating. The plates were overflowing with delicious meats, numerous vegetables, real roast potatoes and a large Yorkshire pud. So much that a few of us never did finish it all. Coffee was delicious, well after that meal we couldn't face a dessert. Service was brilliant and friendly, yet professional. Would I go back again. A definite YES.

The beer is always good and shows that they take care and pride in the maintenance of the beer lines. Food is typical pub food, it's not a gastro pub and doesn't pretend to be. Portions sizes are reasonable as are the prices, food is always served hot and prompt. The real jewel in the crown though is the beer garden, a raised patio gives way to a nice lawned play area perfect for kids and all surrounded by trees that border the fields it sits within. Dogs are allowed but obviously kept on leads. Slightly off the beaten track but worth finding, especially on a hot summers day.
