The staff were randomly helpful. The menu varied with a particularly great "specials board" to select from and the food was delicious and the venison leg was a "Flintstone" size!

A beautiful pub/restaurant in the countryside. With log fires burning creating the smell of a welcoming country home you get great food in a comfy setting with excellent service. Definitely recommend if you want somewhere new to try.

We had a lovely evening. The staff were attentive and the food delicious. The food took a while to come out after ordering so we were unexoectedly given a free bottle of wine to compensate. We actually didn't mind the wait but the bottle was well received. A lovely evening would recommend.

A very warm welcome and good service . The food was good but there were a couple of minor issues- the terrine starter was straight out of the fridge and could have done with being brought to room temperature to bring out the ( very good) flavours and the vegetable Wellington had a large quantity of uncooked pastry inside. This was easy to scrape out once I’d realised what it was- being the same colour as the parsnips I ate quite a lot of it before I realised. (Not so nice) The dessert idea of a smaller portion with a coffee for £5 is excellent . Would visit again but with a few tweaks this food would be excellent.

Food was good, atmosphere very good. But the service was very poor, as we were seated in a corner of the bar and ignored almost entirely by the staff; everytime we wanted to order or ask for something, we had to go up to the bar and ask, nobody came over, even though we could see our waiter chatting and serving people behind the bar. Equally, paying £18 for a meal, I was very dissapointed by the size of the meal. This would not have been a problem if the food was good, but it was no better than and actually worse than other places, in similiar locations, who charge far less for more of a portion. Very dissapointed considering I have been a loyal and returning customer of the Bird in Hand for a number of years.

Enjoyed our visit to the Bird in Hand. Service was very quick if a little too quick not giving us much time in-between courses. My duck was lovely just how I ordered it. The sea bass was very good and the accompanying veg was lovely and well cooked. I really enjoyed the red merlot.

Excellent service, food and drinks with a warm a pleasant atmosphere and a roaring log fire. The food was well presented at the correct temperature and perfect timing from when we ordered to the food arriving at our table. Drinks were brought to our table instead of having to wait at the bar and the waitress checked with us that all the food was to our liking a few minutes after delivery to our table. All in all a very pleasant experience.

Great atmosphere, lovely food perfectly cooked - if a little expensive. We sat in the snug by the fire which was great until it started to go out and smoke began to puff into the room!

We had a great meal on route to join our ferry in Portsmouth. The staff were all very friendly and welcomed both us and our dog Charlie. The service was so quick we got to the ferry terminal early. The food was restaurant quality and presentation. I could not recommend this pub enough.

We can honestly say that 'The Bird In Hand' was one of the best dining experiences we've had! We went there for a Sunday roast and were bowled over by the size...it was huge! It made other roasts we had pretty insignificant and we can't wait to go back! It was fantastic value for money and superbly delicious! The dessert I chose was 'cheesecake of the day' and that too shone amongst others I've had. All the staff were attentive to our needs and despite being a full house, we were served our meal in what seemed like minutes of arriving. The complimentary homemade bread and chilli and tomato butter on arrival added a very pleasant touch. This is one of the very few places we've tried that got everything spot on and the staff were a joy...friendly and courteous at all times! A DELIGHTFUL AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE!
