Bird in Hand - Carta

Soggy undercooked pastry margarine on the vegetables! Who puts margarine on the vegetables in 2024 place is like a throwback to the 70’s.

I've been here several times with my family for Sunday dinner, and it's always been first classThe food is lovely and has a real "homemade" taste.

Suprised that this hasn't been reviewed, but it is very popular, not at all posh nosh if fact a bit too traditional sometimes, but good value food, and Ver carta

Had a lovely night out here!! the staff were so kind and super accommodating for out dietary needs, thanks for a great night!! me and my girls had a lovely time

Previously frequent visitors but we went here recently and it was very disappointing the menu choice was much reduced, the food was excessively greasy and we couldn't finish it and the staff were slow and pretty dim. Such a shame as this used to be our favourite local spot hopefully the new owner takes note and ups the standards.

Very disappointed went 4 a couple pints parked as normal in car park no obvious car park charges not mentioned by staff either now been handed a 100 00 pound car parking charge been using this pub 4 many years never had to pay 4 parking b4 can't find nothing on website about it either not going back again and I bet I'm not the only one Ver carta

We have been going here for the last 8 years on a Christmas meal as a group of four friends. Although this year I had to do a lot more chasing up when it came to booking this meal and also getting a pre order to them (still didn’t have my pre order when we got there) but wasn’t a problem. That said the food was still really good and we had a lovely Christmas meal yet again. Even though it has recently been taken over it was nice to see a familiar face behind the bar who is always really friendly.

Went for a quiet drink with friends 3pm on Friday 15/12/23. 2 young girls serving behind the bar clearly very inexperienced. Slow service and communication non-existent. After 10 minutes to change a barrel (the pub was not busy), the drink was brought to the table and virtually thrown down. The bad attitude was challenged, but not helped by a regular customer who was clearly drunk, rude and vocal. He seemed to be trying to ‘make an impression’ with the young girls, but looked rather foolish. The worst experience ever in a pub, and I’ve visited a few in the past 50 years. Never, ever gain.

Ok, I will make a disclaimer-this is my local. Earlier this year the pub changed hands. Many in the village were apprehensive about the new owner taking over. The Bird had been in the same family for over 30 years and they were very much loved and respected, and lets face it-no one likes change. However, we are nearly seven months down the line and I can honestly say The Bird is still an absolute asset to the community. Yes, there have been changes-long standing staff have sadly left, who were all part of the furniture-and have been replaced. However, the new faces have proved to be excellent in their hospitality and friendliness. Special mentions to Ethan, Ebony and Chris, who always give a... Ver carta
