The bird in hand staff are absolutely amazing, very welcoming. They go above and beyond. I wasn?t too keen on the meal I ordered (nothing to do with the food) and they asked if they could change the meal or take the price of the meal off the bill, they didn?t need to as it was my choice and me that wasn?t keen on it.

First visit to this pub, and it certainly won?t be my last.
An absolute hidden gem with attentive staff from the moment I walked in. Enjoyed a perfectly kept pint of HSB real ale, and the food was excellent, both in quality and presentation.
Prices were very reasonable, offering great value for money.
Even the Wi-Fi impressed me; easy to connect with a quick sign-up, and it actually worked!
Well done ?

Really want to like this pub but have just found the vegetarian mains to be quite disappointing on the times I've visited since the reopening (other vegetarian friends/family that have visited have told me that they agree). The camembert and the biscoff cheesecake were absolutely delicious, but the two mains I've tried so far (homity pie and falafel burger) were both quite dry. The service was really good and the pub itself is really lovely, but the vegetarian options feel like an afterthought.

Had a lovely afternoon in the garden drinking cocktails, menu is pretty standard although food was nice. Lost a bit of its charm but the guys are new and trying very hard, I'm sure it will get better with time.

Just had a wonderful meal at this pub. I must say the service was impeccable, Lily and staff were superb, friendly and very attentive. The food was superb, and the portions huge. Would recommend this pub to all.

Been a few times now and food is great. Sometimes service can be slower in busy periods (as expected, and the fact its busy is only a good thing overall). Great food, good menu, good portions, in a family friendly venue. Plus I like a pint of hsb ;)

Came here to meet up with family. We were excited about having a meal here but Sadly the experience was poor. Roast potatoes were hard and not fluffy and crisp like a good roaster should be, the veg was gross. Squeaky beans with no flavour, dry red cabbage?.roast parsnips were dry and also tasteless, Again no flavour, swede was watery and also tasteless. Meat was okay?. Yorkshire pudding dull, worst part was thin tasteless gravy but you did get a jug full so I would give a brownie point for this! Puddings were the best part of the meal.
We couldn?t be bothered to complain, we just won?t be coming back. Perhaps it was an off day. The staff were friendly but not overly attentive, took us a while to get the bill. Sorry but it was disappointing. We go out for a treat and it should be good.

We visited at the weekend for Sunday roast, it was a very hot day, the pub was empty because everyone was sat outside in the lovely large garden. We got parked OK and got a table in the shade, great. We got served at the bar quite quickly, gave them our table number and ordered are food. One roast pork with crackling, one vegan bean and vegetable bake, finally two big daddy mixed meat roasts. The food seemed quite a time to come, but given how many people were in the garden they can be forgiven and the serving staff were very pleasant. The food servings are large but at the expense of quality, it's the kind of plateful of food you need when you have a hangover! The crackling was inedible, so hard it would be best used for hardcore. The meats were all overdone to the point of being tasteless. The Yorkshire puddings had dried out. The best things were the stuffing, cauliflower cheese and the vegetables. The vegan/veg bake which is beans and pasta with tomato sauce was dry and the veggie in our group just left it. Overall if you want a big plate full of food and you are not bothered by quality it's the place to go. The service is reasonable and the servers pleasant.

Lovely pub/restaurant. Shame one of the cookers wasn't working, so a slightly limited menu. My first choice wasn't available. Will be going back in a couple of weeks.

It's changed hands but you wouldn't really notice much difference in my opinion, when pubs are asking you to go well before 11 it's a shame on a Saturday night. But then I don't have to work there ????

Waiter was pushy untill we placed our order then not really seen again.
Burgers were dry and overcooked.
I ordered the black and blue burger, crispy bacon , crispy onions and blue cheese..........bacon was limp and no sign of any blue cheese.
2nd bad experience I've had here, 1st time they completely missed my meal off of the order and then when asked for it to take home it was dumped in front of me for all other customers to see, a doggy bag would have been nice.
