Having been several times we have never been disappointed.From the moment you step through the door you get a warm welcome and that continues throughout our evening by the helpful knowledgeable waiting staffThe food again never disappoints even with fussy eaters it is always delicious and cooked the way you ask for.It is well worth travelling the miles to visit our favourite restaurant

We phoned on Saturday, to book a table for Sunday lunch after the bird in hand was recommended to us. We were offered a table for 2pm, which we accepted. Attending on time we enquired at the bar, where staff told us to go up to the restaurant. After initially being ignored by three waiting staff, one of the waitresses told us our table was in the snug and proceeded to lead us there. In doing so, one of her colleagues started "telling her off" for telling customers to go up to the carvery when it was so busy. We were shown to a small circular table in the main entrance door way. There were 3 of us in the party, and frankly the table did not seem big enough to have taken three plates. Three menus appeared on the table, with no explanation as to how we went about ordering. The table rocked back and forth as the legs were uneven. The so called snug was exactly that. There is so little space between tables that waiting staff or customers cannot get through, bumping into both you chair and table as they try to maneuver through the establishment. The floor at the edge of the bar moves every time someone walks past, and this was a lot, exacerbating the issue of the uneven table. I can't comment on the food as we did not stay long enough to find out and after this experience, never will find out either.

A great country pub atmosphere. Parking a challenge. Beer was good. Menu provided a good variety of options. Our meals had cool chips & peas and thankfully a cool salad! Staff whilst inexperienced, were very helpful and addressed our issues. Nevertheless at £18pp for a meal & drink it was not good value and we will go elsewhere next time.

The bird in hand has become our regular go-to place whether for a family celebration or just a passing meal after shopping. The staff are always accommodating and friendly the food is always of a high standard. Value for money, I think you would have to go a long way to beat it.

We all had a lovely meal. Food was delicious and satisfying. The puddings were also glorious. The staff were attentive, polite and very friendly. We have been quite a few times and I can honestly say we have never been disappointed.
