Bird in Hand

Good menu, incl gluten free and excellant service, not overbearing but very accessible and attentive. Choices Cumberland sausage, liver, lamb and cod & chips. Very light batter.

Brilliant as always, enjoyed a Sunday roast we always have a lovely meal here and the staff are friendly and attentive. Will defiantly return here again. Thank you 🙂👍🏻

This is. Lovely gastronomic pub. The food is well made and well plated. A little noisy for me but that's the ambience that works. Not necessarily what I was expecting!

Lovely lunch out with my sister for her birthday. Great tasty food that is always presented so beautifully. And great service as usual. The banana split was especially nice!

Lovely atmosphere. Good variety of food. Much more original than many other pub menus. Excellent presentation. Pleasant staff. Last went to this pub 27 years ago. What a difference! Would recommend.

Not only did we have a fabulous meal at The Bird in Hand but all the staff are amazingly friendly and helpful and whilst they are often busy make you feel very valued and important. The wine selection is excellent also. It is often busy with a great atmosphere and I am already looking forward to my next trip there. Highly recommended

Good menu with a Specials board. Food is amazing. Service very good. Just tends to be very noisy as the general chatter seems to amplify somehow.

Lovely food, although a tad pricey. Had to wait quite a while after starter to main but at least we were not asked to vacate table after two hours as happens in some restaurants. Staff very pleasant. would return

Very good food in comfortable modern surroundings but not for a quiet or romantic meal for two Very busy and noisy. Staff friendly and attentive. Good value for the money.

Lovely lunch with great service. The food was well cooked and beautifully presented. We had a baby with us and it was lovely to include her.

As always good and staff excellent. Felt very welcome and we could take our time choosing. Only couple of negatives was the River Exe Mussels were tiny and not many of them which was a shame as they tasted amazing. Also very noisy in there as high ceilings and hard floors which made having a conversation difficult.

The food was great, interior is great. Service was good all evening until it came to getting the bill, took them about 20 minutes before I could get a hold of someone (although they kept walking near us and ignoring us) they also didn't offer us drinks so I assumed they were getting the bill for us. Either way it was a good night. You can get 20% with the the good time guide card/app.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Bird in Hand. The staff were very accommodating, the service was great and the food beautiful. I have eaten there several time now and it has never disappointed. I will be back.

I've eaten at Bird in the Hand many times before and always loved the food and received a warm welcome. Unfortunately this visit was on Mother's Days and my parents first visit to the Bird in the Hand. I'd have to say whilst the food and staff were still lovely as always it was very apparent the staff were rushed off their feet. I'd made our table reservation many weeks before our visit so I was very disappointed to find they had to move one of the smaller bar tables into the restaurant to accommodate us. Even worse we were squashed up against wall with a huge plant hanging over us also swallowing my father. After 10 minutes at the table we decided it would be a much more pleasant experience if we went back into the less crowded bar and ate there. I won't let this experience put me off but have to say I'll think twice before choosing to eat out on Mother's Day again.

Service and food was top notch - excellent! We had Sunday lunch, the food is beautifully presented and well prepared - good value for money.

Good food and good value. Sharing plate a great option for starter. Big party in restaurant but service was still good and the staff were very attentive.

Excellent food! Lovely atmosphere! Service ever so slightly slow but we were in no rush and we really enjoyed the night! Also didn't feel rushed off table!

The food was amazing and we received great service and the best espresso Martini's on the planet. Our waitress was very patient with us. Would highly recommend.

Excellent meal and service. The lemon posset was particularly yummy and it was a lovely touch to receive a complimentary box of chocolates for Mother's Day too!

The food in this pub/ restaurant is very good. I have there on four occasions now and it has been exceptional. Service and welcome also excellent. I fullyrecommend it

I opted for the sunday roast dinner. I was disappointed with the amount of meat served with the meal. There were only two small strips. I complained to the waitress but she advised this was due to the quality of the meat used.

We thought the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent. The staff were friendly and very helpful. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

All three courses were lovely, and great service. The kids also enjoyed their burgers and ice cream puddings. Delicious as always Bird in Hand thank you!

Lovely food, and great atmosphere. waitresses were very friendly, and food came our in good time. Will definitely come again. Good value for money also.

Service good for food but my husband had to get up to get someone to bring the bill.Lunch menu good portion size. Good value for money.

Great food and excellent welcoming and very friendly service. A nice relaxed pub environment with a good buzz in the bar area. I would come back if in the area again

If you want excellent food and faultless service this is the place to go. Would have scored 5 but for the noise levels that made conversation a challenge, prepare to project your voice but the food will not disappoint.

Really great Sunday roast and lots of choice - service was good despite the pub being busy. Just a shame we didn't have more room for dessert!

Our overall experience was excellent. Food was as good as the last time I went. The service was spot on too. We will be back!

Lovely atmosphere and good food. Restaurant is set out really well and plenty of space. We were told by staff that toddlers aren't really welcome in the evenings as they disturb other guests, but it's so loud in there that a toddler would make no difference.

We where well looked after from the beginning. Great service, polite and friendly giving plenty of time to choose from the menu. The food was amazing, especially the liver dish. Good menu not to much to choose from but very good variety. Thank you

Very friendly helpful service and a nice welcoming atmosphere throughout the restaurant. I had the halloumi starter, which I would give a 4/6 as it needed to be a little bit less well-cooked to be ideal. For the main course, I had the hake & chips which was very good. A very pleasant evening and I would definitely recommend this restaurant. Small point, it would be useful to have a post in the car park to which one could chain a bicycle.

Food and service excellent which is exactly what you're paying for. We will definitely return and highly recommend. You do have to go through the pub to get to the restaurant but they are clearly separated.

The food was excellent as was the service. It feels like a step forward from the similarly excellent Red Lion in Horsell in terms the menu feels a bit more modern rather than sticking to the tried and tested. Would certainly recommend

Fabulous meal and great service. We thought there was so much choice to cater for everyone. One of our party has allergies and the staff made sure to double check Our order.

First time in this pub/restaurant and would certainly return. The venue is lovely, the staff were friendly and helpful and the food was very good (we had starters and mains only). Only reason I haven't given it the full score is because I didn't really enjoy my burger, which tasted a bit strange to me, but my sister enjoyed hers! Overall a very nice place for a relaxed lunch.

Amazing food, great service . There was a big party of people in and the manager took money of our bill as he said the service wasn't as quick as he would have liked for us because of the party. Lovely staff. Would definitely recommend but you need to book as so popular!

great food, service and atmosphere on a mid-week night. Good selection on the menu and specials boards. We all loved our first visit here and will certainly be back. If I was to be over-critical I would say that the food description and presentation is a bit "overly-fancy" for me. oh how chefs love to swizzle their Jus! - however cant fault the food which was top quality.

Lovely atmosphere, open fires, great menu, really accommodating for little kids, friendly, warm and cosy. Had a great lunch. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good pub lunch.

Very good meal and service on a busy Saturday evening. Only adverse point, our table was just outside of the main restaurant area but it didn't really make a lot of difference
