There’s something undeniably comforting about a traditional British Sunday roast—and when it’s served in the timeless charm of a historic coaching inn, it becomes a meal to remember. For locals and visitors alike, The Greyhound Inn in Chalfont St Peter offers the finest Sunday roast experience in Buckinghamshire, blending centuries-old hospitality with exceptional culinary flair.
A Pub Steeped in History
Dating back to the 14th century, The Greyhound Inn is not just a pub—it’s a piece of local history. Nestled in the heart of Chalfont St Peter, this Grade II-listed building has served as an inn since the 1700s. With exposed beams, an open fire, and an atmosphere that effortlessly balances rustic charm with modern elegance, The Greyhound is the perfect setting to enjoy one of Britain’s most treasured meals.
A Roast to Remember
Sundays at The Greyhound Inn are dedicated to the roast—and it’s done properly. Our Sunday Roast Menu is crafted with care, using high-quality ingredients and time-honoured cooking methods to produce flavour-packed dishes that warm the soul.
Choose Your Roast:
- Roast Chicken: A well-seasoned half chicken, tender and juicy, accompanied by golden roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, carrots, parsnips, cauliflower cheese, and a side of our signature gravy.
- Roast Lamb: Slow-roasted and full of flavour, the lamb is melt-in-your-mouth tender. Served with the same lovingly prepared accompaniments and that all-important gravy.
- Nut Roast: A fantastic vegetarian option that’s far from an afterthought. Made with parsnip, onion, cranberry, peanuts, almonds, and rosemary—baked to perfection and served with all the traditional trimmings. A rich and satisfying dish in its own right.
Each plate is a generous helping of traditional British fare, brought together with a side of expertly made gravy and served piping hot. From crisp roast potatoes to indulgent cauliflower cheese, every element of the meal is cooked to perfection.
Save Room for Dessert
Of course, no Sunday lunch is complete without a sweet treat to finish. The Greyhound Inn’s Eton Mess is a delightful end to the meal—crushed meringue, fresh strawberries, whipped cream, and a drizzle of raspberry coulis. It’s light, fruity, and just indulgent enough.
A Cosy Ambience for Any Occasion
Whether you’re gathering with friends, treating the family, or enjoying a quiet Sunday for two, The Greyhound Inn offers a setting that’s as inviting as the food. The pub’s warm interior, complete with flickering firelight and classic décor, creates the perfect backdrop for a leisurely lunch. When the weather permits, the outdoor seating offers a breath of fresh air with views of the picturesque village surroundings.
And for those looking to turn Sunday lunch into a mini getaway, The Greyhound also offers beautifully furnished boutique rooms. Wake up in the heart of the Chilterns, enjoy a stroll through the countryside, and return to the comfort of the inn for a Sunday roast like no other.
