Bird in Hand, Lovedean

Went for my mums birthday and was very happy, great food served really quick the staff were very friendly. We will definitely be returning soon.

Great atmosphere and great food! Perfect place for the perfect Sunday roast! We will definitely be going back!! Perfect Sunday afternoon! Thank you to everyone!

Very friendly service Dog friendly Food was very good Separate gluten free menu available Good atmosphere log fire Complimentary freshly baked bread and butter before meal

Staff and food very good :) would go back again . Moving near by and friends have recommend me this place so decided to visit :) x

Everything about our visit was very enjoyable. The staff were very nice and attentive. A nice environment and lovely food. We will definitely be back.

Delightful surroundings; very pleasant staff. Service was very good and the food was excellent. A very enjoyable couple of hours. Is there a downside? Yes. The toilets are "uni-sex" which we don't like.

A local country pub with formal and less formal dining. On arrival we weremdt with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The food was great the staff were polite and friendly.

Well presented pub. Attentive service, quick to notice drinks needed refilling. Yummy food though the chips were a little under done. Good cocktails. Would recommend.

for the price probably a bit disappointing ,we had mixed roast platter, lamb was very fatty / chewy, in fact only the pork was mention-able. apart from roast potatoes veg was mediocre. However , the surroundings and staff were brilliant and we loved the in-house sparkling water great

There was a good range of food on the menu. Friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant had a busy and positive atmosphere. A very enjoyable lunch.

Excellent food and service. Very helpful and cheerful staff. Staff had a good knowledge of the menu. Will definitely be going there again for a meal.

Waiter was great. Food was good but was better on previous visits - veg that came out with roast was not very hot and parts of meat were tough

A delicious Easter Sunday lunch. Everything cooked to perfection, fresh vegetables all washed down with a delightful bottle of Rose. Restaurant busy but service good. Loved it. Many thanks.

Amazing service and fantastic food. Our waiter Luke was very attentive and nothing was too much. Can’t wait for this to become our local pub as this will become a weekly visit for us

Lovely food and great service and as always a warm welcome even to our dog Tilly 🐶 (she’s never had so many doggie biscuits) Thankyou to Amy and her team 😊😊😊

waited over 45 minutes between ordering meal and it arriving. my order was the bird in hand burger which is the worst burger that i have ever tasted. I was far too dry and overly seasoned, and the texture was oddly grainy. I complained about it and was not charged for it. my wife had the sea bass which was adequate but over cooked and greasy. To be fair to the restaurant,they apologized and didn't charge for the mains so we only paid for our drinks. it spoiled the evening for us as we were celebrating my wifes' birthday. We won't be returning any time soon.

Very nice food, made fresh with local ingredients. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone who likes to eat at county pubs

another great experience at the bird in hand. thank you

fantastic local pub with friendly staff who will accomodation reasonable requests

took a friend for his first experience. he loved it and will be back to experience more locally source food

great locally sourced food with a local pub feel about it

Gorgeous food......Beautiful restaurant. The staff were very helpful and polite. The food and drink was not too expensive either. We will definitely go there again.

Booked this restaurant to celebrate our 43rd wedding anniversary. We were looking for somewhere local with a varied menu, particularly to include a vegetarian selection (for my wife). The restaurant was very busy (a good sign?) but the service was excellent, with staff being very friendly and polite, in particular our server, Joe. He was attentive but we didn't feel at all rushed. The menu selection was also excellent and was up to our expectations. The food was well presented and tasted delicious. We would definitely return and recommend.

Good food, good service, good range of dishes, well cooked. Only criticism - I felt a bit cold! Would definitely go again and recommend it to friends.

The food was very goos as always, service was excellent as always. We will be going back in the near future. Anniversary is at the end of May.

Very welcoming, shown quickly to our table and served with small slices of fresh bread with flavoured butter. Ours was garlic, rosemary and sea salt. Extensive menu with good choice but not so large as to lose quality to quantity. My husband had a perfectly cooked sirloin and the accompanying chips were lovely - crisp and fluffy - and enormous fresh battered onion rings. I had fillet of sea bass with a potato rosti and sun dried tomatoes and spinach. Perfectly cooked, fresh and flavoursome. Homemade lemon tart to follow and I had gin and tonic sorbet which was subtle but really refreshing - great choice to finish the meal. The service is excellent, attentive but not intrusive, well timed, welcoming and pleasant chat. Highly recommended.

Staff very friendly and helpful. And food is lovely. Slight problem with gluten free requirement, however staff were very quick to apologise and rectify the issue. Excellent customer service.

We arrived too early and yet it was no problem. We were seated and given complementary crusty bread and herb butter whilst waiting. No fuss no hassle excellent staff with first class service and superb food

I ordered the fillet steak medium rare and it came more than well done even the staff agreed, so by the time I got mine the others had more or less finished there meal which is a little disappointing. However the food when it came correct was lovely and the staff Where all very nice and did apologies.

Amazing adult & child lamb roast!! However expensive for burnt and dry pudding, supposed to be sticky toffee pudding but tasted and texture was nothing like I have ever had, and we all choose it and regretted having it instantly. Mother’s Day & they got the Mums meal wrong but they did say they would knock it off the bill, but we did have to remind them at the end & have the receipt reprinted. It was an awful positioned table next to the fire; Smokey & the floor board that the waiting staff constantly stepped on repeat moved my chair and table, that needs fixing. Seemed to take forever, I know was Mother’s Day but didn’t seem enough Staff. Also with a child’s roast it needs to be on your menu with the pudding option or an option to buy a child’s pudding, had to buy an adults mini pudding with hot drink, makes no sense. The whole experience completely ruined my first visit there & probably won’t return now.

Lovely service and meal, as always! The bird in hand has a great menu full of very tasteful choices. Great starters and complimentary home made breads and butter. Worth a visit, you won’t be disappointed!

Not sure if it was just because it was Mother's Day but our food came out less than 5 minutes after ordering, not giving us any time before to have a chat. Good service though!

Great food and service. The price was also reasonable. Would be nice if there were more choices on the menu though, as it seemed a bit limited.

Great service as always. Food lacked a little attention to detail but was still enjoyable. and certainty won't put me off visiting again as the previous two meals I've had here were excellent

Nice pub, staff really good very helpfull. Went for the sunday roast, with my family. The meat was well cooked, however the roast potatoes tasted like frozen roast potatoes from a supermarket, and the vegtable portion was very small. I thought the price was a little on the high side, considering the quality of the food supplied. Maybe i went on a bad day, but i don't think i'll be going back soon.

Fantastic meal. Recommend the Sunday Roast platter! Lovely wine. Recommend the shiraz / pinotage from South Africa! Great service. Always make you feel very welcome! Staff are really good and try their best! Thanks for a lovely Mother's Day dinner.

It was very busy being Mothers Day but we still received very good service and food as always. This is my favourite pub/restaurant in the area

Lovely meal had the sharing 2 person Sunday Roast platter. Yorkshire puddings to die for lots of potatoes and veg top meal and would recommend

Booked in for a mother’s day treat. Lovely location and venue. Good value for money. Great beakfast, I would highly recommend the Bird in Hand.

Was very busy and took 25 mins to even get our drink order taken. After that it was good. Food excellent and wait staff attentive.

Came for lunch to celebrate my daughter in law’s 50th birthday. Staff very friendly, professional and accommodating. Had a lovely lunch. Food tasty and well presented.

Super service and the quality of the food is excellent. Only negative points was the price of drinks, which I felt was a little high. This is a gastro pub, with gin menus and all the other modern twists, but it is still a pub.

First time visit. Nice place and nice food. We had food from the sunday roast menu. For me plenlty of food,disappointing veg. From the wife no problems, loved it all.

A great place for an evening out lovely food and friendly service

We went for the Sunday roast. Excellent service, food was very good. My wife is a coeliac, so it can be difficult finding restaurants that have sufficient gluten free choices, the Bird in Hand has a good list of alternatives. Can’t fault it in any way. We will definitely be returning very soon.

A Lovely pub in beautiful rural setting. We all had fantastic roast dinners, and amazing choice of desserts, I can't think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Brilliant staff. Good food. Really nice atmosphere.would definitely recommend it . we didn't realise we had such a lovely little gem almost on my doorstep.

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. The food was lovely with plenty of choice from different menus. The staff were very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere was cosy. Dog friendly too. Highly recommended.

Excellent food with a great atmosphere and the service was exceptional. A lovely place to meet for something to eat for couples or families. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Friendly & efficient staff, good choice of food on the menu, cooked perfectly for my taste. Would recommend it to anyone. Extensive range of Gin's local & further afield.
