    We have eaten here on several occasions however this time the food and service was particularly good. It is unfortunate that it can be noisy and there was work being undertaken in the garden which might affect the ambience inside, overall though we had a very good time.

    Found this place by chance when looking for somewhere on our way to Woking! Website looked good so took a chance and WOW! FAB light and airy place that has clearly been done up! Service was great, staff very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious! Fantastic menu with some new and varied ideas away from the boring norm! Beautifully presented and great value! Only negative is that it’s a long way from home but we will definitely return next time we come to the theatre! Thankyou and well done!

    Had a lovely family meal! Haven’t had a pub meal this good in a while. First time at Bird In Hand, very impressed. Food was delicious and good portion sizes. Service was fantastic, it was so busy on Sunday but the team were attentive and friendly. Disappointed no GF Yorkshire pudding available but other than that, enjoyed visit. Will definitely be back! Excellent value for money.
