Bird In Hand

I've just spent the most wonderful afternoon with our family to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary. The Bird In Hand did us proud with excellent food and wine and great service. If you're having a celebration, I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Peter R.

Food was very good but some less good aspects. Initial coke drinks sent back. no fizz! Waited a long time for desserts which were all wrong! They were repeats for a table already served who had already left! Then another wait for correct ones! Hence would think twice about returning

Really good food, lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. what more could you ask for? I had probably the best, certainly the tastiest lasagne I've ever had with a tasty side salad. Husband had the pork special with gammon, pork belly and a lovely thick sausage with black pudding so he's well pleased! Desserts look delicious but we are too full to try. so we will have to return! Would thoroughly recommend EDIT. we caved in and had a dessert between us. cremes brulee with homemade shortbread. delicious!

Enjoyed a Sunday lunch. Portions were generous, well presented and very tasty. Ale was great too, tp go with it. The setting is lovely and it has a warm and friendly atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Lovely afternoon here with my grown up children. I so needed this. The peace of being outside in the sun in the quiet countryside, great company and beautiful food served quickly and with great service. We really appreciated the warmth and efficiency of the lady that looked after us. Beer garden is super and from what I saw of inside it looked fabulous. Lovely menu but when I see a great pub I cannot resist fish and chips and we were not disappointed. My son had the burger he said it was delicious too. We will be back.

Hasn't been there for quite some time, but really pleased to "discover" it again. So helpful and friendly staff, fitting it's in a short notice. Tasty lunch although a bit sad they'd served a different soup of the day to the one originally advertised. Won't stop us from revisiting though.

Turned up on a Sunday and chanced a lunch attempt without a booking. We were seated straight away and service was great. We had the vegetarian roast (lentil and mushroom strudel) and I have to say it was excellent. Brilliant taste and presentation for really good value. We'll be back!

We had a gorgeous lunch here. The chicken liver parfait and prawn cocktail are very moorish worth and my son says the sausage and mash (kids menu) is "very tasty". The staff were extremely welcoming from telephone booking to service and payment. They brought out our home-made birthday cake with the candles we had handed them and joined in the birthday wishes. Can't thank them enough. Back soon.

Perfect setting, beautifully maintained village pub. Large restaurant area and smaller drinking area. Large outside space for drinking and dining and very well lit. Huge carpark and b&b facilities. Food is very good, tad pricey but you get what you pay for. Always friendly staff.

Had a long wait to be served, over 10 minutes. This had nothing to do with how busy it was. Just no staff to be seen. No bell to ring, but cameras. Once served the breakfast and coffee were good. Some of our table getting biscuits, some not.

A pre-christmas meal with my close friends has been a tradition for around 15 years. Has never disappointed. Food's great and the staff are friendly and helpful. See you next year!

I came over from the Midland's to visit family, had a Sunday roast, it was beautiful full of flavour the neat cooked to perfection, I've been before when I've come to this area and the meals have always been tasty and well presented, The ale was very good too, happy days; Dale

A really lovely Sunday birthday meal for an 80th birthday. The whole atmosphere was lovely, the restaurant layout was spacious and nicely decorated. The staff were super attentive, helpful and efficient and the food was delicious and well presented. Really enjoyed it. It's not in our normal area but would certainly be back if it was!

Top notch service. Everyone gets treated like the most important customer in the room. All the food I've had here has been beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned and a delight from first to last.

Was nice pub food. Not much more than that though. I was happy to spend the money and would go again. Nothing too over the top. If you like classic pub food then this is the place for you. I wouldn't choose it for a special occasion like anniversary or birthday. Pints are reasonably priced. The outside of the pub is beautifully lit up in the evenings.

Inside decor is classic pub feel. Wasn't overly busy for a saturday night. Service was good. We were left to our meals and very rarely bothered. Quick check back as standard. Waitresses were polite and so was the manager/owner?

Absolutely brilliant. We were a large party with several dietary requirements and the staff were so good about it. We ordered ahead but I couldn't eat anything on the menu so they made me a dish specially which was delicious. Staff couldn't have been nicer, really impressed.

Very pleased we chose this place to meet up for a Sunday lunch with family for my birthday. Delighted with the roasts - perfect pork crackling. Super Yorkshire pudding, (not hard to cut through like other pubs). All of us thought the puddings exceptional. They made my son a jug of custard with his treacle tart instead of ice-cream. The staff were charming.

I was pleased that we'd booked to stay on in one of their spacious rooms which was rather nice quality and quiet. The bed was heavenly. Full marks too for the complimentary breakfast pack - croissant, jam, cherry yogurt, nakd peanut delight bar and an apple.

Lovely venue, good food and excellent service. Comfortable surroundings and friendly staff. Would have liked more chicken options on the menu other than a salad or a curry (Sunday Lunch) but the salad I had was nice.

Stayed the one night as attending wedding in the area. Great room, clean and well presented. All the bar, cleaning and waiting staff very friendly and attentive. Had a great lunch when we arrived and fantastic breakfast the next morning. Will definitely stay again when visiting friends in the area.
