Cock and Greyhound

One of the oldest pubs in the beautiful market town of Whitchurch and dating back to 1667, The Cock and Greyhound was originally known as The Black Greyhound Inn –

boasting 6 bedrooms for up to 11 lodgers and stabling for horses overnight.

The Greyhound re-opened under its new guise as the Cock & Greyhound in April 2014. Originally two rooms, the pub is now one long room with a central bar and is a real community hub.

We believe in great customer service and serving up traditional pub food – our very own Timothy Taylor’s beer battered fish and chips is very popular indeed!

Our menu is full of good, honest home cooked food, and we cater for bookings of any size large or small.

Birthday parties, anniversaries and wakes can also be catered for with sit down meals or a buffet.

From steak and ale pie, to gammon and our burger menu, we think there’s something to whet any appetite!

We also have regular steak, burger and pie nights on various weeknights too.

How It Works

When you come into our store, weigh your container, fill it with whatever you choose, re-weigh and pay.  Simple!  You decide how much you want and only pay for that amount.

For food items you can bring in your own glass jars, tupperware and old takeaway containers, or alternatively use the paper bags we have in-store.

For liquids such as laundry liquid, washing-up liquid and shampoo, simply bring in your old bottles and fill them up.  You can bring in whatever you like, be it an old washing-up liquid bottle or glass bottle.  If you already have a plastic bottle at home that you’ve just finished, bring it along and top it up.

We will have jars and bottles available in-store, if needed.  For cleaning and shower products, we will also have some pre-filled bottles which you can take away and then bring back to refill when they’re empty.
