About the award

Each year the AA independently inspects hundreds of restaurants across the British Isles. Introduced in 2000, this award recognises restaurants that provide cuisine of a truly excellent standard, as well as demonstrating innovation and ambience and providing a high standard of hospitality.

The Greyhound, Buckinghamshire

The Greyhound is a pub and restaurant located in leafy Beaconsfield Old Town, within a conservation area notable for its Tudor revival and Georgian architecture.

The professional team led by husband and wife, Daniel Crump and Margriet Vandezande-Crump offer guests an enjoyable dining and drinking experience in a beautifully-designed Grade II listed building, and in the warmer months there is outdoor seating on the terrace. There are also poly tunnels and a development kitchen to the rear.

Inside are low oak beams and bar, with seating that's mostly curved banquettes; a colour scheme of dark oak and mustard yellow. There are lots of bespoke “greyhound” pieces too.

Food is modern British in style and complemented by a fabulous and diverse wine list, alongside some local beers and real ales.
