Bird in Hand

An intriguing blend of history and modernity, the Bird in Hand presents as a traditional pub with a contemporary twist. Recently taken over and refurbished, it retains original features like its classic Victorian tiles, juxtaposed with bold contemporary decor, creating a visually engaging environment. This quaint venue, spread across two distinct areas—each complete with eclectic seating—offers everything from a vinyl record player to a pool table, alongside a generous array of cask ales and craft beers. A spirit of friendly community engagement is evident, yet on quieter days it lacks the vibrancy one might anticipate given its inviting offerings. Although it does not serve food, patrons can indulge by ordering from nearby eating establishments while enjoying their drinks. Despite its past challenges with service consistency, the pub is showing signs of positive change under new management and seems set on capturing a regular clientele.
