Informal enough to feel really comfortable and the cooking superior enough for the demanding customers that we are! Love it. Joeske and Rachel

Going to an Indian michelin starred restaurant has been on my to do list for years. We chose Opheem for its location as we live in the North East. We planned a whole weekend around our visit. Our afternoon there far exceeded my expectations. In fact, I would say, that it is up there with the best meals I have ever had. The food wasn't blow your head off spice, it was subtle and just absolutely amazing. Couldn't fault service. An experience I will never forget.

The food, wine and mocktails were of a very high standard, as was the friendly and knowledgeable service. The front of house and kitchen staff made a lovely fuss of our daughter, whose birthday it was, which made a special event even more special. Thank you to all the team. There's nothing to touch you for miles around.

We were so happy to be back at the Greyhound, as the last time we had a reservation we ended up with a flat tire and on run-flats, you have to BUY a new tire, so we missed our lunch. But dinner last night exceeded our expectations. The food was always good, but seems to have gotten better. All the amuses are a wonderful treat, especially the chocolates at the end of the meal. Quail was fabulous, Dorset crab was fabulous, and the sirloin absolutely delicious. They always have our favorite wine - "Follow the line" and at a reasonable price too. Staff seemed to be top notch. They were good before, but even better now. Very attentive, but not obtrusive. Except for the loud talking around us, there was a birthday party at one table, and a girls night out at another table, it was a wonderful experience. We want to go back when they have the fireplace lit!!! But highly recommend the restaurant!

Finally went for the Lardo burger from the classics menu and it was unbelievably good. The salmon, avocado and jalapeño starter was exquisite. The beetroot and goats cheese starter is a favourite and the seafood linguini was cooked to perfection and incredibly tasty. The King’s trifle is a must. Can’t wait to come back. Again. And again.
