About

*LATEST UPDATE* The Greyhound Inn has now re-opened for alfresco dining in their garden overlooking Corfe Castle and their terrace, under a heated marquee. Booking is recommended.

Opening times are 10am-9pm every day, with food served between 12pm-8pm (sandwiches up until 5pm).

Current offers include 10% off for visitors to Corfe Castle (National Trust), 10% off for Swanage Railway ticket holders and 10% off for NHS staff, military and first responders. Read more about current offers on the Greyhound Inn homepage.

The Greyhounds' unique location under the castle and overlooking the Swanage Railway is a firm favourite for visitors and foodies alike. Our trained rosette chef’s create daily seasonal fresh food dishes offering guests a chance to sample the delights of a real craft kitchen using sustainable locally sourced produce.

Having firmly built up a reputation for delicious food, we offer up a selection to tempt most palates. From fresh local lobster, crab, to locally sourced game, pheasant and partridge. We have gluten free and vegetarian options.

Sunday lunch is served all day including local pork, lamb, beef and chicken and a varied children’s menu.

The refurbishment of the interior last year has allowed the internal space to be more flexible - we can now cater for large parties and groups, functions and weddings. On cold winter days you will always find a goblet of steaming mulled wine, homemade soups, casseroles and stews available. Dorset clotted cream teas and fresh Portland crab sandwiches are always on the menu washed down by a pint of Local cider or ale.
