After a wonderful Easter service at St Marys Hendon we went into The Greyhound (whose freehold belongs to the church). The pub was empty. We were welcomed by were only serving drinks! (I think to myself what else is a pub there for)? No good morning! No greeting! We bought our drinks & went into what used to be the snug & sat around a small table to enjoy our drinks. No sooner sat down a busy looking a red haired lady with a mobile phoned attached to her face (assistant mgr) instructed us that the table was booked for diners at 3pm & she had to lay the tables. I said we would only be there for 30 mins. She insisted we find somewhere else to sit. There were only very heavy high chairs & high tables remaining. Were all over 60 yrs old & the high chairs were very uncomfortable. When then went out side to finish our drinks & returned the glasses. Incidentally we saw the small table we had first sat on; it had only 2 settings & was still unoccupied. I asked the bartender why we couldnt have sat there as it shouldnt have been any trouble. The bartender & a rude redhead woman became arrogantly & rudely defensive, turning a simple complaint into a blown up diplomatic incident. They then told us if we didnt like it dont come back again! Im a local & Ive used this pub for over 40 yrs. For that reason I found the remark particularly offensive, unnecessary, & could easily have been avoided & it was handled very badly on their side. The female member of staff was particularly rude with attitude. No wonder The Greyhound is a struggling pub with regulars migrating to the local Gladdach Ring on Church Road nearby where theyre more than welcome. There they really know what hospitality is about & better still know how to run a pub properly.

Lovely traditional pub with a great selection of draft.

Can never be certain if food is being served. Difficult to order a drink as the bar area is taken up by people sitting on stalls. Bar staff also seem to be inexperienced.
