The Greyhound in Royal Leamington Spa

Ah, The Greyhound – it's one of those pubs that just draws you in with its welcoming feel, tucked away in Leamington Spa. From what I've gathered chatting about it with others, the staff really shine; Charlotte and Patrick come up time and again for their genuine warmth and making events like karaoke Fridays an absolute blast. The drinks selection is spot on, with some cracking real ales and decent food options that make it a solid choice for a relaxed catch-up. And at such an affordable price, you can pop in without worrying about the tab. But let's be honest, it's not all roses – there are moments when a staff member might seem a tad unfriendly, or you hit a snag with the pool table not sorting out change, which can be a bit annoying if you're in the mood for a game. Then there's that odd complaint about the Guinness not quite hitting the mark. Overall, though, it's a place I'd recommend giving a go; the positives far outweigh the niggles, and it's got that community spirit that makes for memorable nights out. If you're heading that way, keep an eye on the events and maybe check it's your cup of tea first – but I reckon you'll leave with a smile.
