The pub itself was great and the staff were super professional and friendly. The food was delicious and came in "proper portions". We will definitely be returning.
A little pricey but made up for by the very good quality and well presented food. Perhaps a little more choice of main courses could be considered as it was fairly limited. Overall a very enjoyable night as the atmosphere of the restaurant and service from our very friendly waitress were both excellent. I will definitely return.
Warm and comfortable on a very cold evening. We have now dined at the Bird In Hand on a number of occasions, and have found both the food and service consistently excellent.
Great atmosphere, great service and lovely food. Would highly recommend The Bird in Hand for a relaxed meal, with family and friends. Well worth a visit.
Best food in the area by far. Served elegantly, was tasty and enjoyable with a varied menu. Desserts are sublime. Reasonable prices for good food.
Food served quickly and was very good - soup was even hot which can be a rare occurrence these days! Staff were very friendly too.
First time I have been there and it was great, would really recommend this place and hope to go back soon. From the first friendly welcome, the overall service and attention, excellent hot food on hot plates and the overall choice. Works for me every time, there is nothing to stop me going back. I might suggest that the decor needs a little updating, its a little "tired", but apart from that minor comment, for me, there was little to fault. Well done Bird in the Hand - from a "picky" customer.
Bird in Hand is more than just à British Pub, it is a Gastronomic Pub! Each plate from the starters to the desserts are very thoughtful with a very quality of ingredients. The atmosphere is remarquable, friendly and very wellcome. The owner, Marcus, the team are pleased to make you happy. It is so rare. I will recommand this warm place!
Lovely food and nice decor inside. Service was ok, but they forgot my drink so I had to chase them. Ran out of hot chocolate.
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.
Great food and service, comes highly recommended. Great food and service, comes highly recommended. Great food and service, comes highly recommended. Great food and service, comes highly recommended.
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
