We went here for a friends birthday. It was the second time and it was as good this time as the first. Great buzzing atmosphere, delicious fish dish from the specials menu and attentive service.
We had a fabulous evening The food was delicious The staff lovely The atmosphere was amazing All thanks to everyone at The Bird in Hand
Good food, very nicely presented. Service a tad slow but to be fair it was the busiest night of the week. All in all a good experience and will dine there again.
Compact menu, brilliant food, great service. I recommend this place to friends/customers all the time, perfect for lunch specials / dinner / drinks. Definitely one of the best places to goto in the area.
Helpful, attentive staff. Delicious food (I had the special Lamb Shoulder). Nice, busy ambience. Not for anyone wanting a quiet meal. Will go again when visiting the area next time.
Great food, great atmosphere thanks to everyone at the bird in hand. My wife's birthday meal with the family cheers. We will be along again sometime soon.
Fabulous food and great friendly service. Would definitely visit again. Menu changes regularly so you can always get different food each time you go. Also caters for vegetarians as well as the meat eater in the party!
New Year’s Day lunch time so busy, even so service excellent, good atmosphere and both food and drinks enjoyable. Food very well presented without too long a wait.
great food and service. Wish the website menu matched the one in the restaurant as the main dish I wanted wasn't on offer now. Second visit and will visit again as lovely presentation and flavours of food.
An interesting menu with really high quality food. Presentation was outstanding, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The midday lunch menu is really good value for money.
Excellent food, reasonable price, quite good service despite being busy, nice ambience, I would recommend it. Car Park was very full so get there early
Our meal was very good and as I am a Coeliac they were very adaptable with my choice I was able to have the fish I wanted but grilled instead of battered. The staff were very attentive and at the end of our meal we had lovely hot coffee(often it's served Luke warm which I hate) I would certainly recommend this Restaurant.
Excellent food and service. Good prices and a good atmosphere. May be slightly noisy for some but overall a very enjoyable night out. Thank you
Excellent Food well presented. Service great and wonderful atmosphere. Could have stayed longer felt so comfortable and relaxed. Loved all the little private dinning areas.
Without fault. Cant wait to go again. Just loved the food: individual, elegant, and delicious. Excellent level of attention from very professional and jolly staff.
A thoroughly excellent pub. Very nice bar area with comfortable seating. Good range of well kept beer, including from Woking based Thurstons brewery. Pleasant restaurant area with sensibly spaced tables. Food really tasty, decent portions and reasonably priced. All the staff who dealt with us were helpful, friendly and cheerful. We will be going back!
First time visit and we thought the food was really good value for money and the service was excellent. We will definitely be returning in the near future.
Fantastic gastro pub, great atmosphere, attentive & friendly waiting staff. Great menu - was very hard to choose. I decided on a gourmet beef burger, and it did not disappoint. I was impressed that when I placed my order, the waitress let me know that the meat was cooked so it was pink in the middle, I was then able to let her know that I preferred my burger cooked to medium. It was delicious. The puddings were also to die for; I enjoyed profiteroles, and these were served beautifully presented, with a delicious tasting ice cream in the middle and a chocolate truffle on the side. I'll definitely be back!
A lovely atmosphere, friendly staff for whom nothing is too much trouble and delicious food. Perfect! Would highly recommended. (Very popular so parking can be a bit tight)
It was Busy today, great food, presented beautifully, good service, requested a large table and space for a pram at short notice and they were able to accommodate us,
Mediocre food. Pricey, dressed up carvery tasting like it was warmed up rather than freshly cooked. Service had to be prompted a couple of times. Very noisy. Couldn’t hear ourselves talk. Had to shout with the rest! Pricey for what it was.
Excellent food as always. Good service. No rush at all. When my husband asked for a slight change in the formation of his dessert it was no trouble!
Friendly staff. Lovely Caesar salad - quickly bought another portion when they'd forgotten that I'd asked for no anchovies. Were sold out of salted caramel ice cream but chocolate ice cream with salted caramel sauce more than made up for it! Would recommend.
Another excellent Sunday afternoon trip and the quality is still excellent. Food is great and staff friendly and efficient.
The service was wonderful, everyone was very kind and helpful, the food was so delicious from main to dessert and the decoration is very beautiful!
Would go back but wouldn't go out of my way to go there.very much like many other eating houses. Food could be better. Staff very good
Once again a great experience. Friendly staff and food was served very promptly. Good quality Sunday roast and very tasty pudding off the specials.
Had a wonderful Friday evening meal as a group of 4 adults in Nov. Amazingly popular place, and we just got the last carpark space at 7.30pm. Every table was taken / booked, and the bar was completely full as well. We all had 3 courses, and each one was excellent. We shared the Bird in Hand mezze between 3 of us which was excellent, very varied and more than enough for 3. It probably would have been fine for the 4 of us to share. I then went for the Vegetable burger which was good, but the spiced bean and vegetable crispy fried pattie was perhaps a little too thick and therefore a bit too dense and soft, but still very nice. And finally on to dessert - which I'm ashamed to admit we all thought was our favourite course ! 3 of us just went for icecream, and one had banana split. But each had the salted caramel ice cream, and each came with a seperate pot of hot choc fudge sauce which was incredible. Simple, but one of the best desserts for flavour we've ever had ! Would highly recommend, and we had a lovely evening.
went for Sunday lunch the food was great, the service was brilliant as well. Had a lovely friends afternoon. Will definitely be back very soon
Fantastic food! Super fresh and superb tasty! Would recommend for a nice meal out. It’s not the cheapest, but it is worth the food you receive. Service was great. Waiter very friendly and made us laugh a few times.
The restaurant area is very airy and light. The food was lovely and good quality a good mix of classics and something a tad more fancy! Personally i enjoyed the sausage wheel. Only comment of negativity was that Service felt a little slow.
Beautiful food including gluten free for my friend. Attentive but unobtrusive service. Looking forward to returning in a few weeks time. Thanks everyone at Bird in Hand.
Excellent food, very tasty as always ! friendly helpful staff who were very attentive and good atmosphere at lunchtime. We will definitely be back soon.
Good food and welcoming atmosphere. Service was attentive and the staff all friendly. Have been in the summer and the garden is great to sit in.
Great-tasting, well-presented food. Friendly service. Was able to get a bigger table for the group, not rushed at any point through and after our meal which was kind for a Sunday. View out to garden and an espresso martini!!!
Wonderful imaginative food, generous portions, beautifully presented. Friendly efficient staff. Pleasant ambiance, very high quality dining and good value for money. I can not recommend highly enough. Thank you.
Fantastic meal at the Bird in Hand. Always fab and fresh food and friendly waiter service! Very busy so always best to book a table.
Superb customer service , the food was cooked to perfection , with great tastes , great presentation , we ordered drinks upon arrival which we received very efficiently
Superb Food. Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Best in Woking. Would recommend to anyone. Good drinks selection too. The chicken supreme dish was absolutely delicious as is everything on the menu.
Outstanding welcome service and food. Not rushed but efficient. Food was nicely presented. Lovely surroundings. Reasonably priced. Will definitely be back! My two friends were both very impressed
Nicely greeted, warm welcome, very attentive waiters. Lovely food,was cooked and served up very attractively.we come to your pub every couple of months,so we are looking forward to our visit in December.
Very good food. The choice was wide enough and the food itself full of flavour. Service was excellent too. A good choice for a midweek meal.
Really delicious food, attentive and friendly service. Couldn't fault it. Will definitely return. Had the Sunday beef roast which was a plate full of flavour and a vision of delightfulness.
Great pub with vibrant atmosphere. Recommend the Cod and Chicken main dishes, food excellent and similar quality to The Red Lion in Horsell. Definitely worth eating there if you fancy a good gastropub close to Woking.
Great food, good ambience and friendly staff! This is the second time I've visited this pub and I have to say I can't fault either the quality of the food nor the service offered by the staff.
Great pub, brilliant choice of gins and very helpful and knowledgable girl serving at the bar. Food is very good too. Parking was a bit of an issue as the car park was full when I arrived. Not particularly local for me but worth the trip to meet up with friends. Will return.
Food was good and beautifully presented. Service pleasant and low key. Acoustics in the restaurant terrible . Could do with some soft furnishings or something to absorb the sound As a result we had to speak loudly to hear ourselves and the noise around us was distracting
This pub tickes all the boxes in terms of friendly staff, pleasant ambience and great food at a reasonable price. We had the lunchtime set menu which was oarticularly good values. The beers are well kept as well
The food was a first rate tasting experience. The menu seemed to cater for all tastes . Loved the decor bringing Putney to Surrey The staff were well trained and friendly without being over the top. Thank you .
The food was excellent but the restaurant was far too hot and the service was incredibly slow. We didn't get our desserts until gone 11pm.
