Went for a booked lunch in the restaurant on a week day. We were quickly shown to our table, offered drinks and given menu. Staff were helpful, seemed a little busy though restaurant only had one other table occupied. Food was a little slow in arriving and when it came it was as the title says, average. The staff accommodated... More

The Bird in Hand hosted a charity dog show yesterday for all the family. I must say that we were warmly greeted at the event, the food was great and there was plenty of it. The bar was more than adequate and the staff who were working and it was very hot were polite, courteous and I would highly recommend... More

Went here for Sunday lunch. Service was attentive and we were given a nice table which was nicely set with linen cloth and napkins etc. Starters were really quite nice, an unusual black pudding and bacon affair, and also salmon fishcakes with sweet chilli sauce. Wine reasonably priced by the glass. The main course was slightly disappointing given that everything... More

I have one family member who is allergic to eggs and now another who is recovering from major surgery who can only eat... More

We booked a two night stay here for a restful break and we were not disappointed. The room was spacious and very clean with some lovely period features, a liitle dark due to two very small windows however this did not concern us as it gave the room a very peaceful and atmospheric feeling and there were plenty of lamps...

We booked this on short notice for 2 nights over the Easter Weekend. We had one of the newly refurbished rooms (Dove) in the main building. The room was very nicely decorated with modern fittings and nice wooden furniture. The bed was very comfortable indeed and a second pillow was provided. Room heating was provided by a remotely controlled wall... More

After two failed attempts at using up our Wowcher for a two-night stay here, we finally managed to get there. Prior to arrival they were flexible and accommodating with us having to change the dates twice, which was lovely. We were greeted with a very friendly welcome at Reception and all staff throughout (Reception, bar, breakfast, waiters, etc) were nothing... More
