I used to really love this pub a five or six years ago. It is now rather tired looking and we all know what has happened to Youngs beers. I remember drinking excellent pints of Winter Warmer during the dark months. The pint of Youngs Ordinary that I had in here a few weeks back was quite horrid. NW4 deserves better than this!

If this pub goes any further downhill, it'll end up on the A41... my guess is the present rag, tag and bobtail outfit are just baby-sitting the place untill Young's are ready to dump it, (as and when their new super-pub opens up on Grahame Park). Poor John Young must be turning in his grave!

The new landlord is trying his best but the reason the last landlady left was that Youngs would not honour commitments to spend money on the place. Hope the new man has more luck, or deeper pockets

Yet another change of Guv'nor here.
That must be four in four years!
The Pub's getting a bit down-at-heel... much like the rest of the Borough really.
Young's could do with splashing out some of the £74millon they trousered from the disgraceful sale of the beautiful Ram Brewery.Greedy b******s.

Quality Youngs beer in a surprising location - look at the harden behind the museum next door

A real gem of a pub and well worth a visit. Hardly any other decent places like this still in NW London.

A real pub! Excellently kept ales (now from Bedford, alas) and generally relaxed atmosphere.

Having just started drinking in Hendon, the Greyhound is already a firm favourite, and looks to be the best pub for miles. A nice atmosphere, especially on a Sunday afternoon, with friendly locals and excellent beer. The Magners is reasonable priced, and the Youngs is well kept.

The Sounds of the Suburbs exhibition next door is great too.

I think I might just pop here for a pint tonight...

The best pub in the area. It has a good atmosphere music isnt too intrusive the food and beer are great,so good that the ex-CAMRA regional director drinks in here!
Its also dog friendly.

An old friend in Golders Green says lets meet for a drink - the Greyhound being the nearest decent pub! An excellent pint of Ordinary this last Saturday afternoon, and a warm welcome for the Cup Final. I've yet to try the meals - but the complimentary snacks were good. Well recommended - and don't forget to pop in to the Church Farmhouse Museum next door - the current exhibition is The Sound of The Suburbs - pop and rock music in the Borough of Barnet.

Must be almost the last proper pub left in Hendon, always served cask Ale even in the Red barrel days, I was told the early C.A.M.R.A. were held here ?

Been drinking in the Greyhound off and on since 1963 I've seen it go up and down over the years. right now it is ok, if you like Youngs beer, I Do. Good food, nice staff.

The Greyhound is still a great place to relax over a pint or two. Good beer, friendly staff and local patrons you would travel far to meet.

Visited the greyhound in the last couple of months. Staff and locals were very friendly. A great traditional pub to visit whilst in Hendon.

The only traditional pub worth visiting in Hendon. Tenant from Youngs. Right by Church (on consecrated ground!)and Museum. Locals and visitors. Good food and atmosphere.
