This is our local and the food is always very good but tonight it was outstanding. Compliments to the chef and also to Bekka our very friendly server.
Staff showed the right degree of attention and the food was excellent. The otherwise excellent experience was tainted by a very noisy and inconsiderate group of people. It is a public house and it it is difficult to criticise customers, but a few gentle words in their direction might have improved the atmosphere for others. Well done anyway.
Our first visit. Excellent and attentive service throughout the meal. Staff knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. Tasty, well presented food. Made our daughter's birthday special. Thank you.
We had lovely meal, booked last minute, food and staff excellent, only down side, we had to vacate a bar table for next customers which was fine, but no tables to sit at and just have a drink, so we left. We love this pub so friendly with a lovely atmosphere.
First time at the bird in hand and was brilliant! Very Good service and delicious food! Definitely will be going back again! Cocktails were lovely!!
Great food, friendly staff and an excellent gin menu! We will definitely come back again, the pub garden is a lovely place to sit on a summer evening and the patio heaters help on a colder day.
Bird in Hand is a comfortable rural pub with a relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient. There was a varied menu with plenty of good choices for everyone (there were five of us) and also some good specials. The food was delicious and the portions were generous.
Unfortunately the pork on the roast was very fatty, however the service was very good and the staff friendly and I was not charged for my roast dinner.
The food came out within 5 minutes of ordering which took us by surprise. The food was nice but wasn't amazing for the price. Great cosy pub atmosphere and good food variety.
Great location. Good service, quality of food and all for a reasonable price. I would visit the bird in hand again and would recommend it to friends.
Excellent food, couldn't fault either the food or the service. This is the third time we have been now and have loved it every time.
Food was great as always, however we had a table booked in the snug area but were placed in the restaurant area which was extremely noisy.
Our first time here. The food was lovely and filling, reasonable prices and excellent service. We would reccomend this restaurant and would go again .
Great evening. Lovely food and wide variety of drinks. Would definitely recommend. Service excellent, and waiter very friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere despite it being very busy.
there is great food. its a great pub. the raspberry creme brulee was amazing. staff are friendly and polite as usual. we had American friends with us who want to go again before they leave
Good atmosphere. Pleasant staff. Good yet limited menu which enabled the kitchen to focus on the quality of the food they produced. Good range of drinks (cocktails, wine and beers). Will return at some point.
Always a pleasant experience, the food and atmosphere excellent, staff friendly and attentive. I have eaten at the the Bird in Hand many times and never been disappointed
My mum us mostly deaf. I asked for a table near a wall to allow her to be able to hear. the staff were understanding and very considerate
Always a great meal with great service. The potato rosti with the duck was a tad bland but the fillet steak was amazing! Nice and relaxed on a Sunday evening!
We come here regularly for Sunday lunch and the food was as good as usual and the service very friendly. We will certainly be back again.
Sunday lunch on 6th August. Very poor service and food. Disappointed as previous visits have been much better. We were offered a discount on our bill but that's not really the point.
Very good food and service - waiting staff very attentive and knowledgeable- only minor issue waited just a tad too long to pay the bill.
Excellent food and service on a very busy night. The bar was a little slow when we first arrived but not a big deal as it was quite full.
Two sittings Friday,Saturday and Sunday evenings so busy but the food and service excellent. Took some American friends they were overwhelmed. We go as often as possible.
Fantastic Meal and service would highly recommend to all. It was a quick service and price was reasonable. Will definitely return for more food 🥘 meals. Thanks and good job.
Very attentive staff and lovely surroundings. Sunday roasts all superb but potatoes were a bit leathery. The newly designed seating area is pleasant with an interesting gin menu.
Really good atmosphere; service and food pretty good. Our bill for 5 was around £180 but we all had 3 courses with wine and other drinks so expected it to be on the high side.
Went for Sunday roast for my mum's birthday, very disappointing meal. My roast beef was so chewy and stringy I just couldn't eat it. Roast potatoes grey and not crispy, had clearly been reheated. Cauliflower and broccoli were so hard you couldn't cut them. Very strange way of serving the meal, it was in a bowl type plate, meat draped over the potatoes and the whole thing swimming in about half an inch of gravy so even if the potatoes had been crispy they wouldn't have been by the time we got to eat them. Also it wasn't very hot. Our waiter was lovely but the service seemed very slow, we arrived just before 1.00 pm but I don't think we were eating until about 1.45 pm. We have been here several times for lunch during the week recently and had a very enjoyable meal but on today's performance we definitely won't be going for Sunday lunch again. Extremely disappointing all round.
The Bird in Hand at Lovedean is a beautiful pub tucked away in a quiet location. The food is always excellent and the staff are all very attentive and friendly. We would definitely recommend this pub :-)
Lovely food and great service. Really good selection of gins, served in a good sized goblet with plenty of ice and good quality tonic.The Sunday menu was brilliant and included a veggie option. The desserts are amazing, top marks thank you
The staff very helpfill . Food was very good Thank you very much see you again . Very soon And will recommend to all friends
Had a lovely meal, but it was just too much. I wish they offered a smaller portion for people with smaller appetite. Hate wasting food. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be going there again.
Lovely meal in lovely surroundings. Service was good, staff were polite and pleasant. Would recommend. You get plenty of choice for a good price. Nice outside area where we finished the evening with drinks
Went with friends for a meal for my 60th birthday. Staff very extremely friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Will definitely be going back and would recommend them to anyone.
Food was good generally. Would've expected the fillet to be of better quality which looking back we should've sent it back. Didn't appreciate being charged for tap water which we specifically asked for.
Service was attentive but not over the top. Menu choice was superb, making it hard to decide on a dish. When the food arrived it was faultless. Highly recommend
2 full breakfasts were excellent. 2 eggs benedict disappointing. They forgot our water. Coffees and hot chocolate were very nice. Food overall not overpriced in our opinion. Would return but make different choices.
Very enjoyable evening, staff were very attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Will be visiting again soon for Sunday roast which I've heard is really good.
There isn't anything I can criticise. The service was good and every need catered for. Even when I said I would rather my starter without dressing it was not a problem, the waitress took it away and a new starter was bought out. Thanks for a great evening we will be back.
Lovely Sunday roast platter with plenty of meat and veg. A couple of small criticisms: the table could have been wiped in between our main and dessert as there was food on it and we had table service. Also the cauliflower cheese was a little hard and the cheese sauce had been poured over rather than the cauliflower cooked in it. Nothing major though.
Very nice pub/restaurant with a great atmosphere. There is plenty to choose from on the menu but could do with a another 1 or 2 veggie options. The food is very tasty and excellent value. I will definitely be returning.
Excellent service from friendly staff and with a menu of exceptional variety to suit all tastes and good value. Overall to be recommended. Easy parking as well.
Excellent food as always, staff friendly and attentive. Only grumble was that we had booked a seat online in the restaurant but were seated in the bar area. Overall Very Good and would certainly return.
A nice meal in pleasant surroundings. Staff are very attentive. Although it is a busy restaurant you do not feel rushed and are given time to relax.
Excellent quality food. Menu is not that exotic but it was all very well cooked. Often deserts let restaurants down but the creme brulee was fabulous. The staff were efficient but also friendly.
Great food, lovely atmosphere. My first visit but it won't be my last. The menu was varied and catered for all tastes. The service was efficient and importantly not rushed. A super evening with a quality meal.
Lamb was tough complained and offered a steak knife, not really the answer! We had a table for two but could not hear each other in the restaurant, however I have been here for lunch b4 and it was great, I just wouldn't go back if an evening!
Excellent food. Well presented. Staff very efficient. Best meal out I have had for a long time. Menu choice very good as well as portion size.
We had a lovely meal in excellent surroundings. Service was very good. The menu is varied to suit all tastes. Overall our visit represented good value for money.
Our superb waitress looked after us and our dog extremely well. Food was lovely but came away very full! Thank you and see you soon.
