The Greyhound Inn in Pettistree, Suffolk, has been recognized as one of the UK’s top eateries for 2024. The country pub, known for its “terrific wine list,” earned a spot in a roundup of the best places to dine in the country, curated by William Sitwell, a writer for The Telegraph. The list, which highlights 15 of the finest dining spots across the UK, includes a mix of fine dining establishments and classic country pubs, with the Greyhound Inn standing out for its exceptional offerings.
A Gastropub with a Heartfelt Menu
Under the leadership of husband and wife duo Will Orrock and Cassidy Hughes, and with head chef Adam Spicer at the helm, the Greyhound Inn has become a celebrated gastropub in Suffolk. Known for its commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients, the pub has earned acclaim for its creative yet hearty dishes.
Sitwell praised the pub’s menu as an “education,” with the highlight being a standout venison dish that he called “the most beautiful I have ever eaten.” The venison, described as a rich and flavorful experience, epitomizes the pub’s dedication to crafting meals that appeal to all types of diners, even those who may not traditionally enjoy game meat.
“It had everything you might need to convince a waverer, or even a plant-munching refusenik, as to the worth and enjoyment of eating deer,” Sitwell wrote. He also lauded the pub’s wine list, noting how it perfectly complements the “hearty, flavorful food delivered by a kitchen rich in talent and conviction.”
