Welcome to The Greyhound, a 17th century coaching inn, in the heart of Beaconsfield Old Town.
Owned and managed by husband and wife team, Daniel Crump and Margriet Vandezande-Crump, the pub and restaurant was named as the ‘One to Watch in the UK’s prestigious Top 50 Gastropubs Awards, named a TripAdvisor 2021 Travellers’ Choice Award Winner, and voted the best restaurant in Bucks & Oxon by guests in the annual Muddy Stilettos awards.

About the restaurant

BRVTVS is a contemporary space where you can come for breakfast, a drink, a meal, or to enjoy the more energetic and friendly atmosphere later in the evening weekends where the vibe changes very quickly with the DJs spinning their perfect vinyl playlist to set the mood.

Music is at the heart of BRVTVS and it's the ideal place to share it through a soul, rare groove, modern funk and disco vinyl selection.

BRVTVS takes quality food, drinks & music seriously, giving the idea of welcoming customers in a warm environment with attention to every detail. The idea is to recreate, in a modern variety, the dishes of Italian traditional cuisine, that until a few decades ago were everyday’s food and drink in Italy. A great way to experience the Italian style of eating with simple and genuine recipes.

We had the a la carte menu which we felt was excellent value for money (the taster menu did look on the pricey side for a non Michelin restaurant). It was a Monday evening, so quiet. The service was just right for us; not too fussy but attentive. Food was amazing - very tasty indeed and plentiful for sure.

About the restaurant

Welcome to Riwaz Beaconsfield.
It’s long been twice-Michelin starred chef Atul Kochhar's dream to champion the cuisines of India, especially the sub-cultures of Bohri, Ismaili, Moplah, Chettiars, amongst others.

The menu of creatively enticing flavours and spices includes dishes created and cooked by Atul’s grandmother. Lunch will showcase our set 2 and 3 course menu plus the Jugalbandi set menu of four courses for two to share (£35pp).

For a time-honoured experience, the evening A La Carte menu offers characteristic main courses complemented by a great selection of wines, cocktails and customary Indian drinks. A gourmet 7-course Tasting Menu (£65 pp) will be available in the early evenings (Sunday to Thursday). All of this customary deliciousness pays homage Atul’s Indian upbringing and the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, West Bengali, Orissa, and other regions.

5th time visiting Food always great but the decor is very underwhelming. Needs much more decadent look to match food rather than wooden basic chairs facing a wall full of cobweb and a sad dead plant. :(

Great staff running a large area which is now cutting back on food, shame as it could be great given the right backing and support.
