First class food. Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. I've tried many local pubs and none beat the quality of here. Small things like roast potatoes that are properly cooked through, beef that is perfectly pink, massive Yorkshire puds, great vegetables. A fine choice of deserts that have clearly been made in - House too. Lovely! . Service also excellent and offered with a genuine smile. Highly recommended. One small negative comment, the acoustics make ambient noise a little lid during busy periods.
Had a very enjoyable evening with friends. The food was excellent, with very attentive and pleasant staff. Have been before and will definitely be going back again.
Very friendly staff, and a delicious lunch. Would highly recommend this gusto pub. Easy to park and easy to find. What could be better? Thank you.
Really nice atmosphere and delicious food as well! We had the camembert to share to start with, followed by fish and chips and ice cream with hot chocolate fudge sauce! Yum
Yummy food, much nicer than regular pub food. Lovely friendly wait staff that were very attentive. Nicely styled dining area. We will definitely be back!
Friendly staff. Opened new bottle of red rather than serve a glass from a bottle opened the previous day. Other staff friendly with my dog. Set menu food was excellent - meat balls and harissa prawns
Food was excellent. Service great. Bar noise a little too much at times - hard to hear each other speak but possibly because we were seated in between the main restaurant area and the bar/kitchen door.
excellent service and food with reasonable price when considering the quality of ingredients. our favourite pub in area. need to book as it gets very busy on weekebds
Lovely pub with calming atmosphere. Food was presented and tasted devine. We had roast dinner and was ho we like it. Staff was friendly and always in hand. Will come back soon.
fantastic welcome. brilliant service and food. cocktail menu was fun too.
Love this pub/restaurant. Great service and great food and beers Warm and cosy with a Christmas menu. Parking can be a challenge but that’s a minor
Very impressive how the waiting staff and kitchen team managed to maintain such simple but delicious meals perfectly cooked and coped with a full house too
We were a party of seven and the service we received was excellent. The food was really good and the staff were very friendly. A really enjoyable evening.
Absolutely delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, very attentive service. The Bird in Hand is one of my place to eat in this area. Also a wide selection of drinks and interesting selection of Gins.
I've visited a good number of local pubs from which I can draw a fair comparison from our weekly Sunday roasts. Delicious food and pleasant staff. Best Sunday roast in this area at the moment. Nice internal pub layout too (great beer garden in warmer weather too). Highly recommended
Excellent food and service. Spoilt a little by loud adjacent diners. Very generous portions and the sharing plates to be recommended as varied and good balue
Had a lovely lunch today with friends. The food was brilliant and so were the staff, look forward to returning . Would definitely recommend the Bird in Hand .
Friendly helpful staff and great food. We were very impressed at our first time eating here and would recommend. We were a group of 11 with 5 children 5 and under and they completely understood that the children would be happier with food sooner rather than later.
Nice atmosphere with good service and great menu selection. Was a good place to eat on our way the the theatre. Will definitely go again and would recommend to others.
Went for a Sunday roast, the presentation meat and vegetables were delicious but the roast potatoes tasted reheated and were very disappointing when the roast cost £17! Great service as always though
Always fabulous food and great staff at Bird in Hand. The staff are always incredible helpful and the chef amazes every time. Another great evening! Book a table to ensure you are not disappointed!
Very pleasant experience. Food was presented in an unusual and enticing way. my companion had the roast beef which he enjoyed, I had the lamb but I felt it could have been any meat; It was quite tasteless, but the vegetables were tasty.. The desserts looked delicious when served to other diners but we just had coffees. The staff were efficient and friendly We will come again.

Simply wonderful food! I assume the kitchen staff are quite passionate about what they produce, and they can be rightly proud of such delicious, innovative dishes
Made very welcome, staff extremely helpful, very good choice of food and well presented on the plates, we were dealt very promptly on arrival.would recommend my friends to visit.
Excellent food, but evening spoiled by large party of ladies having a hens night at next table. Should have located us away from the party. Difficult to move as we had already started our meal when the ladies arrived. Good to see them enjoying themselves but the noise was unbearable!
The meal was lovely and our waitress was very pleasant and helpful. There were two parties going on on the Saturday evening we were there but they were dealt with efficiently and it added to the pleasure of our meal.
A good choice of food on the menu and the dishes we chosewere very enjoyable. Service however was poor and staff need some training in customer service,
We had a really delicious family roast dinner, everyone enjoyed their lunch. The pub had a nice, cosy environment. The staff were all so lovely too. Thank you.
Great food. Lovely range of gins. Only negative was having been shown to our table, it took 25 minutes before anyone came over to take our drinks/food order.
Took our American cousins for lunch on Friday the 5th they loved the food and the ambience the staff were helpful and as always the food was excellent
we went here for a birthday celebration for my daughter , staff where very helpful with making sure cake was taken and came out at the right time , food was amazing, and service was amazing would highly recommended
Nice place, quick friendly service, lovely food and a reasonable price. What's not to love! Liked that there was a set price lunch although the choices were not vastly to my own taste. Had Gammon, egg and chips + sticky toffee pudding. All fine. Some friends thought the pork belly was far too salty. Not our first visit and would certainly visit again.
Great food with fancy touch. Great value lunch deal. OK
Such a gorgeous meal and a lovely atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and gave great recommendations. The mushroom risotto was incredible! Cant wait to visit again
We went there for Sunday lunch. The restaurant was very busy with families and couples of all ages. The Sunday lunch menu offered a good choice for meat eaters, fish eaters and vegetarians alike. The food was good and the service excellent. The waiting staff were very attentive. I would visit the Bird in Hand again.
As always delicious food with great service in a lively atmosphere. Good choice of wines and beers. Make sure that you book - so you are not disappointed!
Food was amazing and the service. We had the seafood platter and it was to die for!
Great food and amazing sevice. Very accommodating of my friend with coeliac disease, with a range of gluten free options on the menu, and a willingness to adapt some meals. Will definitely be visiting again soon and spreading the word! :-)
Sunday lunch time is a busy time but the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was tasty. It was good value and I would recommend it for lunch with friends.
Lovely food, a little bit different from the usual... But it works! Sweet, friendly staff. Good ambience. Can be quite loud when full. Definitely recommend.
Good atmosphere and had a fantastic meal choosing the fish off the specials board. Good sized portions throughout all three courses. Definitely go back again and would recommend to book as restaurant was full.
The food was excellent as always, did ask what pink Gins you had and was just bought a ‘white” one back which I didn’t ordered. Service was slow and a little haphazard. However the food made up for it.
Food and service were both outstanding. Only thing to improve is the atmosphere. It is just too noisy to enjoy a pleasant evening. Large group and noisy children in the restaurant and a lot of noise from large groups in the bar. Somehow the atmosphere does not quite match the food.
Excellent meal. Sunday lunch is awesome. Can’t recommend enough. See my review on trip advisor for more detail but you won’t be disappointed. Excellent bar menu as well.
Exceptional Sunday roast. Must be the best in the local area by a mile. Service is great and very friendly. Faultless.
Excellent. The food is always amazing here, as is the service. I only wish that the beer selection was slightly better (the quantity of choice is enough but the beers themselves aren't particularly great).
We had a lovely meal with great service Thankyou . The food was delicious an£ the atmosphere very pleasant. We would definitely go back again.
Excellent lunch, delicious food and great service, I can highly recommend the Bird in Hand. The pub has a lovely feel, the staff are all very friendly and helpful, overall a really superb experience.
2 starters - chorizo & whitebait , 3 mains - seafood risotto chicken & pork belly - 2 deserts - chocolate fudge cake & ice cream with choc sauce - all delicious and beautifully presented. A good bottle of red and pleasant service too. Highly recommend.
