Bird in Hand

We took some friends along who were very impressed with the changes to the Bird in Hand since their last visit. Our waitress was attentive and super helpful. Every meal was well presented and delicious. The ham hock starter is worth a special mention, and the banana splits didn't take long to disappear!

Pleasant evening had by all. Relaxed atmosphere and staff tried hard to ensure our meal went smoothly despite being very busy. Reasonable choice of food to cater for most tastes.

We decided to book a table for four for a birthday lunch. The menu was varied with a good 2/3 course set lunch. Service was quick and efficient. Much enjoyed. Thank you.

Great food great service.look forward to coming back soon.we will certainly recommend you to all our friends. We really like the way you display the food it makes it so appetising.

We had an excellent meal which included a children's menu that was greatly appreciated by our grandchildren. The staff were welcoming and provided us with a prompt service

Excellent food, beautifully presented. The staff were very knowledgeable about the food and wines making the whole meal a wonderful experience. I have no hesitation in recommending the Bird in Hand.

The food was reall great, well worth the money and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Would definitely go again.....actually I am, this weekend!

Yummy, well presented food, amazing staff, varied menu, good atmosphere and lovely decor. Huge pub garden to enjoy in the sun and dog friendly! We will be back

Tonight we had a dinner table for four. We have been here several times as usual there was very good service by friendly staff in a nice restaurant, a good menu and reasonably priced high quality food.

Easy to book, warm welcome upon arrival, Great service and customer care, food was well presented and very tasty, lovely relaxed atmosphere, we would highly recomend

Very good lunch with friendly staff, excellently presented food and good value. Would definitely recommend BIH for any occasion - special celebration or just a good meal out. enjoy!

Well cooked food and friendly service. We will be back. After confirmation that small plates were in fact starters, I had fish goujons with tartare sauce followed by steak. Good pub food, and well kept beer - I was a happy customer.

Great friendly service and a lovely meal. The overall atmosphere helped us all to enjoy our evening. The final bill was less than we expected and was a lovely surprise.

Great pub for a sunny evening. Food was superb and service was great. Attentive staff all round. We will definitely be back in the near future!

Great food, great atmosphere and friendly staff! We will definitely be going back again soon! The only downside is that there isn't quite enough parking.

Good service and excellently prepared food. Having been for a few visits felt the menu was rather limited if you didn't want burgers or sausages. But do not let you put you off as food is of a high level.

The girl who were serving for our table was excellent. We were all feeling welcomed and friendly atmosphere. The food was excellent as well but the only disappointment was the coffee wasn't hot. Definitely we will come back again.

Extremely nice meal and considering the restaurant was really busy the food came out fairly we quick and beautifully cooked. A thoroughly enjoyable experience with good food and extensive wine menu

They were super accommodating as I had booked the wrong day! However, we were sat without menus for a while, we had to ask for a wine list. Nobody came back to take our drinks order so we were left with water until the mains arrived. Our dessert was forgotten so it took ages. On the plus sides the food was lovely and really well presented and the staff were friendly but just not really on the ball.

had a lovely set menu lunch which was delicious! Staff were very attentive and friendly and it was a very pleasant experience! We will definitely be back !

Very warm welcome for an early dinner. Selected specials from chalk board which were excellent in both presentation and taste. The staff are both pleasant and attentive. Bird in hand continues to please.

The normal good service, enjoyable food at a good price with plenty of time to enjoy both the food and our friend's company. Highly recommended

This is second time at this restaurant, very good food, and friendly service. Hope they change menu from time to time. Will certainly be going back.

Great service, great food. Don't go here often enough. We had a table buy a window which we had to open as it was a little stuffy in there (they probably needed to turn the AC on). Acoustics not the best but they cant do anything about that.

The food was excellent as always with a good selection of specials and the service second to none. Thank you Jessica. I look forward to my next visit.

My husband and I had a lovely meal served by helpful friendly staff. Highly recommend. We will return very soon as we enjoyed it so much.

Fab food, great presentation, attentive staff and lovely atmosphere - what more could you want ! Dogs also welcomed and looked after. Book a table today

Good menu, incl gluten free and excellant service, not overbearing but very accessible and attentive. Choices Cumberland sausage, liver, lamb and cod & chips. Very light batter.

This is. Lovely gastronomic pub. The food is well made and well plated. A little noisy for me but that's the ambience that works. Not necessarily what I was expecting!

Excellent food and staff as always. Cannot recommend highly enough comfortable decor. I come here frequently and absolutely love it. Best place to eat in surrey

One of our favourite restaurants, the best in the area. Fabulous menu, the food is superb and the service is excellent, friendly and professional. Can't recommend highly enough!

We had a lovely evening and would highly recommend The Bird in Hand. The food was amazing with excellent service. It won't be long before we go again

Brilliant as always, enjoyed a Sunday roast we always have a lovely meal here and the staff are friendly and attentive. Will defiantly return here again. Thank you 🙂👍🏻

Lovely atmosphere. Good variety of food. Much more original than many other pub menus. Excellent presentation. Pleasant staff. Last went to this pub 27 years ago. What a difference! Would recommend.

Lovely lunch out with my sister for her birthday. Great tasty food that is always presented so beautifully. And great service as usual. The banana split was especially nice!

Not only did we have a fabulous meal at The Bird in Hand but all the staff are amazingly friendly and helpful and whilst they are often busy make you feel very valued and important. The wine selection is excellent also. It is often busy with a great atmosphere and I am already looking forward to my next trip there. Highly recommended

Lovely lunch with great service. The food was well cooked and beautifully presented. We had a baby with us and it was lovely to include her.

Very good food in comfortable modern surroundings but not for a quiet or romantic meal for two Very busy and noisy. Staff friendly and attentive. Good value for the money.

As always good and staff excellent. Felt very welcome and we could take our time choosing. Only couple of negatives was the River Exe Mussels were tiny and not many of them which was a shame as they tasted amazing. Also very noisy in there as high ceilings and hard floors which made having a conversation difficult.

Good menu with a Specials board. Food is amazing. Service very good. Just tends to be very noisy as the general chatter seems to amplify somehow.

Lovely food, although a tad pricey. Had to wait quite a while after starter to main but at least we were not asked to vacate table after two hours as happens in some restaurants. Staff very pleasant. would return

I've eaten at Bird in the Hand many times before and always loved the food and received a warm welcome. Unfortunately this visit was on Mother's Days and my parents first visit to the Bird in the Hand. I'd have to say whilst the food and staff were still lovely as always it was very apparent the staff were rushed off their feet. I'd made our table reservation many weeks before our visit so I was very disappointed to find they had to move one of the smaller bar tables into the restaurant to accommodate us. Even worse we were squashed up against wall with a huge plant hanging over us also swallowing my father. After 10 minutes at the table we decided it would be a much more pleasant experience if we went back into the less crowded bar and ate there. I won't let this experience put me off but have to say I'll think twice before choosing to eat out on Mother's Day again.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Bird in Hand. The staff were very accommodating, the service was great and the food beautiful. I have eaten there several time now and it has never disappointed. I will be back.

The food in this pub/ restaurant is very good. I have there on four occasions now and it has been exceptional. Service and welcome also excellent. I fullyrecommend it

I opted for the sunday roast dinner. I was disappointed with the amount of meat served with the meal. There were only two small strips. I complained to the waitress but she advised this was due to the quality of the meat used.

Excellent meal and service. The lemon posset was particularly yummy and it was a lovely touch to receive a complimentary box of chocolates for Mother's Day too!

The food was amazing and we received great service and the best espresso Martini's on the planet. Our waitress was very patient with us. Would highly recommend.

Excellent food! Lovely atmosphere! Service ever so slightly slow but we were in no rush and we really enjoyed the night! Also didn't feel rushed off table!

Good food and good value. Sharing plate a great option for starter. Big party in restaurant but service was still good and the staff were very attentive.

The food was great, interior is great. Service was good all evening until it came to getting the bill, took them about 20 minutes before I could get a hold of someone (although they kept walking near us and ignoring us) they also didn't offer us drinks so I assumed they were getting the bill for us. Either way it was a good night. You can get 20% with the the good time guide card/app.
