Went today for lunch. Have been twice previously for both lunch and dinner (a particular favourite on the menu being the seafood platter, but generally all the food being very good). Strangely today we were only given the ‘lunch’ menu and were told the seafood platter (amongst other things) is only available for dinner. Presumably there has been a change as I had several items from the ‘dinner’ menu on my previous visit at lunch. Long story short, the ‘lunch’ menu was a disappointment. Ordinary pub food that wasn’t good value for money. The ‘dinner’ menu is superb and great value for money. I recommend that either Bird in Hand scrap the lunch menu and bring back the dinner menu for lunch....or people should only visit at dinner time.

All lovely as always - shame about a loud group of young people having lunch but they were enjoying themselves. We just leaned across the table at times to hear each other.

The Bird in Hand is a wonderful, friendly and inviting pub but it’s flourishes come with its delicious, seasonal food and sharp staff. These are the things you leave fond of and the reason why so many people come back again and again. Thank you for getting it just right! A hard, masterful thing to do after - no doubt - a lot of training and a lot of trail and error.

This was my second visit. We all liked the food. However, they had changed their menu a few days ago and for me there were 2 dishes in the old menu which were exceptional delicious and they should have kept offering them. 1. Slow cooked pork belly with mashed potato and herbs. 2. Fish and shrimps with risotto.

This is my second visit, it’s a really nice place and I would still recommend it and go back myself. However I didn’t feel the service was as good this time and the steak I ordered was over done and came with burnt chips. My husband really enjoyed his mussels though.

Delicious sharing Camembert to start with rump steak and a lovely red wine. Great food at a slightly more than average price, but well worth it. Very happy and efficient staff.

This was one of our favourite restaurants. Returned for an anniversary dinner but found reduced choice. Ate only a sharing plate and desserts which were tasty but would have liked a main course instead.

A great pub with excellent food. The staff are unfailingly friendly and professional The food itself is reasonably priced and very good quality with plenty of vegetarian options. I have eaten there a number of times and never been dissapointed. The local Thurston beer is also really nice.

Really good evening, made so by a great atmosphere and surroundings, good menu and great food, good service and reasonable prices - what’s not to like? All helped by the choice of big or little plate versions (really useful at this time of year when money is so tight after Xmas) and kids pudding portions so you can enjoy but not overindulge on the sweet and best stuff😁

The service was good. The menu was not as interesting as 10 months ago when there was a better selection and when the specials for the day were very appealing. However, what we ordered was well prepared and presentation was good.

A little pricey but made up for by the very good quality and well presented food. Perhaps a little more choice of main courses could be considered as it was fairly limited. Overall a very enjoyable night as the atmosphere of the restaurant and service from our very friendly waitress were both excellent. I will definitely return.

First time I have been there and it was great, would really recommend this place and hope to go back soon. From the first friendly welcome, the overall service and attention, excellent hot food on hot plates and the overall choice. Works for me every time, there is nothing to stop me going back. I might suggest that the decor needs a little updating, its a little "tired", but apart from that minor comment, for me, there was little to fault. Well done Bird in the Hand - from a "picky" customer.

Bird in Hand is more than just à British Pub, it is a Gastronomic Pub! Each plate from the starters to the desserts are very thoughtful with a very quality of ingredients. The atmosphere is remarquable, friendly and very wellcome. The owner, Marcus, the team are pleased to make you happy. It is so rare. I will recommand this warm place!

Lovely food and nice decor inside. Service was ok, but they forgot my drink so I had to chase them. Ran out of hot chocolate.
