The Greyhound Inn

About

Nestled in the picturesque village of Staple Fitzpaine within the Blackdown Hills, The Greyhound Inn is a quintessential English country pub that charms visitors with its rustic timbered interiors, flagstone floors and a welcoming open hearth. The pub offers a broad range of classic pub fare—think fish & chips, liver and bacon, and hearty burgers—prepared with locally sourced ingredients that shine with wholesome flavour. Guests can also savour an extensive drink selection featuring award‑winning Badger Beers, lagers, ciders, fine wines and an array of spirits. For those looking for a brief overnight stay, the Inn provides seven well‑decorated rooms that combine comfort with traditional charm, all featuring free Wi‑Fi and a delicious home‑cooked breakfast. Beyond the food and drink, The Greyhound Inn serves as a friendly hub for locals and travellers alike. Its welcoming staff, cosy lounge, airy garden terrace and proximity to the Blackdown Hills mean it is an ideal base for short walks, family outings or weekend retreats, while its proximity to Taunton’s historic attractions—such as the Museum of Somerset and Taunton Racecourse—adds an extra layer of appeal for history enthusiasts. Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed cup of tea, a hearty meal, a pint of world‑class beer, or a comfortable night’s rest, The Greyhound Inn delivers a warm, authentic experience that embodies the best of rural English hospitality.
