Bird in Hand, Lovedean

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.

We had 10 different dishes between us and all were excellent. The service was friendly and accommodating when we asked for slight changes to the dishes. The food was fresh and well presented and overall we had a great evening for a midweek night out.

It was beautiful lovely food grate atmosphere would well recommend x

Amazing roast dinner, perfectly cooked and presented. And one of the best chocolate brownies i've ever tasted. Great food, great service and a great pub.

Excellent pub, and lovely atmosphere. Good drink choice and some delicious puddings on offer. Dog friendly in the bar area and made to feel very welcome. Would definitely return.

We arrived early but were told as soon as table cleared we would be seated. Staff attentive and called us as soon as possible. The quality of the food and service were excellent We enjoyed it very much.

it was a very enjoyable evening the food was tasty and the menu interesting. the staff were helpful,polite and non intrusive. The atmosphere was one of interested conversation

Fantastic tasty food and huge portions. Lovely country pub feel and very friendly helpful staff. Had a great family meal. Would definitely come again soon

The managers decision to ban 16 year old's from drinking alcohol with their meal seems discourteous & unnecessary when with family - it meant our son could not join us in toasting his grandmother's birthday. Otherwise the food was excellent as was the beer, though my lamb was cold.

Always good food and service ! Never disappointed have been going for the last 6 Year’s and food always tasty! They do birthdays and weddings!

Food very good as usual but disappointed that when taking our order our server did not inform us that there were specials available. We only realised that some were available when the table next to ours were informed. We would definitely have ordered the Chateaubriand.

Food v good even though they forgot my cheese on my burger. V busy which is good to see. All staff v proficient in their work. Would definitely go again in the not too distant future

First time we'd ever been to The bird in hand and it's very safe to say it won't be our last. My girlfriend and I both walked away from the pub after an amazing meal saying it was the best meal of our lives

Lovely pub, lovely food, always have a good experience at the Bird in hand. Staff friendly and efficient. Both bar and restaurant lovely for eating at.

Lovely setting, friendly staff. Lots of food to choose from. We visited for lunch and the food was good. Very good selection of ales. Would recommend

We enjoyed our evening and the food was great but the service was a bit slow but having said that the restaurant was packed so they were very busy. Will definitely be going back there.

Great location and pub. Service was very friendly and fast too. Unfortunately the food on this occasion did not represent good value and was not particularly memorable. £35 per head for 3 courses plus £10 per head supplement to half chateaubriand which was brought out barely lukewarm and we sent it back. Scallops starter was also not particularly hot. I think this was probably the wrong night to go (Valentines), I’ve heard only good reviews from friends so I will try again.

Friendly staff. Lovely meal well presented. I would have liked a better option for vegetables. There were no potatoes with the lamb. Mushrooms were in a few dishes I wanted but I do not like them. Even though I asked for them not to be on my plate, I had to pay extra for the potatoes making it a rather expensive meal. It was beautiful though!

Food was nice but overpriced and the menu wasn’t as nice as I remember it being. Nice environment and staff friendly. Nice country pub experience but very expensive at £86 for two. Only 2 alcoholic drinks.

Very disappointing this time. The quality of the Chateaubriand meat was excellent but should have been medium rare, not rare. The chips were soggy and the tender stem broccoli was dried up. The desserts sounded interesting and the presentation was good but again disappointing. The service was good as usual.

Our waiter . Aiden? could not do enough for us and made it a most pleasurable experience. ewerethere woth opur friend who is wheelchair bound and he made sure she was comfortable. The food was delicious and we will deintely be repeating our experience. Thank you

Second time coming here, was a lot less busy than last time and we had our food within 10 minutes of ordering! The food was excellent again!

Had a steak sanwich off the lunch menu, hardly any steak in sandwich told the waitress and more steak arrived bread was toasted but not very nice. Had lovely sweet potatoes very nice. Been there several times not the best this time.

Great food, super service and helpful staff. What more can you want.We ate early but were glad we had booked as the pub filled quite quickly.

I've been here numerous times now and as always it never fails to deliver. It really is my go to restaurant for all occasions when I'm back visiting. Looking forward to another visit soon

Great staff and service. Food good too. Went for breakfast and a little chilly in the bar and restaurant. Appreciate cold winter. Would have been good to have a couple of papers.

Great service and atmosphere and food outstanding - staff attentive and polite - would definitely recommend . The manager Amy was visible throughout the evening and clearly has rapport with both staff and customers

Great food. Very busy on a Saturday night which slowed down service but otherwise a good atmosphere and friendly staff. Another quieter night would have improved service.

This is a lovely restaurant with a lovely atmosphere, the staff were very friendly and welcoming and the food was delicious! Would definitely come back here!

Lush Sunday lunch. Puddings didn’t live up to expectation however

lovely meal and the staff were friendly and helpful with my dietary requirements. I regularly go to the Bird in Hand and I would recommend it.
