Bird in Hand, Lovedean

A very enjoyable meal in a lovely quaint little pub

I have just taken my neighbour out to lunch as a thankyou for looking after my cats. Had a lovely meal but it was very quite so did not have any waiting time for food or noise level problems so all very nice thank you.

I enjoyed the food a lot and would definitely recommend and come back myself in the future

It is always tricky catering for a large group but the Bird In Hans team did not let us down. Three courses and lots of drinks and all superb. Thanks

Burns night with several well thought out interpretations of classic dishes with whiskey and haggis twists. Very nice as always.

The food was lovely and the atmosphere was great. One small negative was that it was busy so the service was not that fast. I think having water on the table without asking would be a good idea then you dont feel like you are waiting a while for a drink from the bar.

Very good food excellent service first class thank you 😊

Fantastic meal today. Busy but staff were always attentive. Food was delicious as always. Yet again... my favourite local pub!!

Excellent as always, fab food and service in a beautiful restaurant

Great meal nice and cosy by the fire. Very quiet but it was Monday. Very good service.

We are regulars at The Bird In Hand and our previous visit was only 2 weeks ago. This time seemed different - as if they were going through some sort of transition. Will try another visit in 3 or 4 weeks to see if they return to their usual standard.

Service was surprisingly poor and outrageously slow. Food was warm at best. Sorry experience.

Warm welcome with a nice friendly atmosphere and great food.

Good service and good food also nice place to visit

Prompt service. Friendly and cheerful waiting staff. Enjoyed Sunday roast with good choice of vegetables.

Service alittle slow but was busy! Alittle small on portions

It was good we were a late sitting so felt the staff were hurrying us up a bit with the aim of getting home. Menu needs a refresh

Good food attentive waitress enjoyed by all of us today

Lovely roast, though the crackling was missing from our plates, if you’re going to charge 10p to have a yorkie, (which we didn’t mind) you should make sure everything else is on the plate.. wine by the glass ridiculous at £11.50!

Food tasty & just about enough but a bit expensive compared to other places locally. Service good. Would revisit.

The worst meal we have had in UK! The hamburger was terrible, overcooked and dry with no taste at all,stale bread roll The pear crumble was disgusting with Packet custard. It was out last night before returning to Australia what a disappointment ! Really disgraceful ! No No

Went for lunch, which consisted of the burger and a creme brûlée. The burger was nicely cooked and came with thin fries rather than chips which (unless you eat them first) as a minor go cold before you can finish the burger. In my view the desert wasn’t great, firstly the brûlée came with a shortbread biscuit, now the biscuit was nice but was sweet and so took all toll the sweetness out of the brûlée, in addition it had hardly any other taste (vanilla or otherwise) and so really just ended up eating it for the sake of it, rather than enjoying it.

Member don Waiting staff (Rita) was attentive friendly and asked just the right questions. However one of our meals was jot up to their usual standard - the pork was cold and the cracklings was chewy and fatty. Not crisp as usual. Although Rita apologised Nothing was done or even a coffee given to acknowledge. We don’t expect this discourtesy from the kitchen not to acknowledge sending a £17 meal out like this

Lovely food and great service, would recommend anyone to go there

Delicious food I had a perfect pork roast with crackling. The service from our waitress whose name I forgot to get was outstanding very attentive and friendly. The pub/restaurant is a beautiful place to eat it feels so warm and cosy and friendly would recommend a visit highly and will return

Not the usual high standard. Staff were lovely but the tonic in GnTs was flat (really? How could you not know?) burger was practically inedible and peppercorn sauce had more peppercorns than sauce

Having booked the restaurant we were initially directed to where bar meals are served. After complaining that this was not what was required/booked we were placed into the restaurant. There were a couple of hic hups with the contents of what was ordered compared to what ended up on the plate, but this was quickly rectified by the Waiter. The food was ok but not outstanding/memorable which the price demanded.

Great food and service as ever thank you to a great team

Scotch egg starters and calamari were delicious. Fish n chips massive and tasty. Fish pie could have been a bigger portion but on the whole lovely meal.

Service very slow even though we had an early table booked and restaurant not busy. Portion sizes have reduced since last visit...

Great food and really good service - will definitely be back

I took my husband for his birthday lunch and was happy with what we had.

Waitress forgot to say the pork belly was off- so 3 of our group spent time choosing it only to be told then that it was off so having to choose again. First bottle of water was free but the second cost 50p. Bit draughty nearish to the door. Tomatoes left off the starter. Pleasant atmosphere.

Service was good, although the gluten meal ordered without the Yorkshire pudding arrived with one and had to be sent back. The portion sizes were a little on the small side and the pink roast beef was not pink at all. As a result we decided to go somewhere else for dessert.

Very lucky to have this little gem on our doorstep.

Bottle of red wine was cold and not at room temp.also had to wait about 30mins for dessert.very disappointing

Food disappointing not much choice, change of chef, service poor.

Overpriced- will not return- poor value for money. Shame - disappointed

Lovely atmosphere, very attentive server & fab food. Thank you

fast service and very good food very good value h
