Bird in Hand, Lovedean

Nice venue. Staff very pleasant, friendly, helpful and accommodating, especially since we had a disabled member in our party. We all had Sunday, roast lunch which was well prepared and very tasty. The portions were generous, perhaps too generous for us. The service was good, well paced, we did not feel hurried and were not kept waiting. I have one criticism. The table was not wiped down after our main course so we ate our dessert with some spilled vegetables on the table. This was our first visit. I am sure that we will come again.

Nice to have interesting and taste veggie options on offer. Good to have separate dishes of veg, cooked well, not boiled to mush. The "meaties" enjoyed their roasts Pleasant venue in the country. I was just sorry we had to eat early at 12, instead of our preferred 1.00, when there still seemed to be plenty of room.

It was a busy evening but the staff were attentive, the food arrived in good time and tasted absolutely amazing. The prices were competitive for the quality of food. Perfect evening.

Lovely lunch, table ready when we arrived, friendly staff, nice food and good service. Would return when the occasion arises. Reasonable priced food, many thanks

A member of our party thought the beef rather tough and her meal was changed to the roast pork without any hassle. So great food and brilliant customer service.

food good. very good gluten free menu options. pleasant atmosphere, easily accessible with good parking. exceptionally large selection of gins many of which I have never sampled before

Lovely food but seemed overbooked as they had crammed a couple of extra tables in the restaurant and we were right by the edge of the steps up to the restaurant which could have been tricky for a more elderly couple Overall service was brilliant

The choice and quality of food at Bird in Hand is excellent. They have a great selection of wine and cocktails and the service is really good.

Fantastic food, very busy night so very noisy. Was catching up with my dear friend so asked staff if they had a quiet table so we could easily chat, they kindly moved us no problem! Lovely service. Thank you 😊

Great food for all four of us. Requested two times a starter as a main with no problems. Desserts great, loved the idea of mini dessert and hot drink. Staff attentive and helpful.

We had a wonderful roast platter last Sunday. Always enjoyable with delicious vegetables and roast potatoes. The pub has friendly staff with a lovely atmosphere.

Very friendly staff. Good menu choice available, food provided cooked to perfection, only disappointment was being too full to manage a dessert! A very enjoyable evening.

Very nice food lovely staff very friendly nothing too much trouble fast service and great atmosphere myself and 11 other work colleagues are coming to the bird in hand for our Christmas works meal the menu looked amazing

Table ready on time , food was quick and again very very nice . Sunday roast at the bird in hand is a must , booked again for Sunday

What a lovely pub with a good range of beers on the bar and a craft gin menu. The food was lovely, cooked to perfection and the service excellent. We'll be going back!

It was our 42nd anniversary and, having had several good meals there, we chose The Bird in Hand to celebrate it. Everything tonight - service, food & presentation - was perfect tonight. Thank-you!

Very poor, sent starter and main back, never done that before in my life! Scallops were cold (so we're the replacements) and medium steak was like a bit of old leather.

Fab food - great service!!! It was busy in the restaurant and bar - but made it a great atmosphere. Would go back for sure!!!

Fabulous tasty food, varied menu, excellent service, great atmosphere. Great value. Definitely going back. Busy on a Tuesday night, must be a good sign others enjoying it just as much.

Great food and great service . Staff are so friendly. We had the roast lamb which came out very quickly. We got offered more veggies during the meal which was great. The peanut butter creme brûlée was so nice.

Excellent meal and the service was brilliant. All staff very friendly. Worth having the mini dessert + coffee as it's nearly as big as the full portion. Will definitely be going back

The staff are friendly and helpful, the food was first rate and the setting very relaxing. The price was reasonable, easy to find and adequate parking. Will continue to go there.

Excellent food, with a good menu, very friendly efficient staff, would definitely go again and recommend to friends. Good atmosphere. Looking forward to returning again

Great food, fabulous atmosphere, warm friendly greeting by restaurant staff. A very good evening had by a party of four. The restaurant is not overcrowded by tables giving a feelin so space.

Came for an anniversary dinner. Had the most amazing food with great service from all the staff. Lovely atmosphere in a warm homely pub! Will definitely be returning

Our first visit and we were very pleasantly surprised. Sunday evening for a standard roast meal, but served with a smile, very tasty and all in a pleasant atmosphere. We'll be returning for a midweek test :-)

A very enjoyable Sunday lunch. Good food, wine and lovely service! We will definitely return and we recommend the Bird in Hand Inn to others.

Very enjoyable evening as usual at the Bird in Hand Lovedean. Very tasty food, well cooked and presented by knowledgeable staff. We will definitely return there soon.

Service was excellent and my lamb and chocolate brownie scrumptious. My two friends had the tagine and found it rather spicy. Lovely atmosphere. I will definitely go again.

Delicious desserts which is what our WI group had come for. Service good. Enjoyed our visit. Prices a little high but very enjoyable non the less

This is our local and the food is always very good but tonight it was outstanding. Compliments to the chef and also to Bekka our very friendly server.

Staff showed the right degree of attention and the food was excellent. The otherwise excellent experience was tainted by a very noisy and inconsiderate group of people. It is a public house and it it is difficult to criticise customers, but a few gentle words in their direction might have improved the atmosphere for others. Well done anyway.

Our first visit. Excellent and attentive service throughout the meal. Staff knowledgeable about the dishes on the menu. Tasty, well presented food. Made our daughter's birthday special. Thank you.

We had lovely meal, booked last minute, food and staff excellent, only down side, we had to vacate a bar table for next customers which was fine, but no tables to sit at and just have a drink, so we left. We love this pub so friendly with a lovely atmosphere.

Unfortunately the pork on the roast was very fatty, however the service was very good and the staff friendly and I was not charged for my roast dinner.

Bird in Hand is a comfortable rural pub with a relaxed atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient. There was a varied menu with plenty of good choices for everyone (there were five of us) and also some good specials. The food was delicious and the portions were generous.

First time at the bird in hand and was brilliant! Very Good service and delicious food! Definitely will be going back again! Cocktails were lovely!!

Great food, friendly staff and an excellent gin menu! We will definitely come back again, the pub garden is a lovely place to sit on a summer evening and the patio heaters help on a colder day.

Food was great as always, however we had a table booked in the snug area but were placed in the restaurant area which was extremely noisy.

Our first time here. The food was lovely and filling, reasonable prices and excellent service. We would reccomend this restaurant and would go again .
