Bird In Hand Public House in Wyre Forest

We were only there overnight but really enjoyed our stay. The hosts couldn’t do enough for us, even lent us a torch for the tow path. Wish it was nearer to us we would definitely go back. Breakfast was amazing and we had such a good night in Stoutport itself.

Never knew this pub existed, but I am very glad I found it. Lovely canalside location, extremely friendly staff and customers. Nice beer. Thumbs up.

Lovely location quiet and on the lovely canal with a very short walk to centre of town. Shared kitchenette allows for easy take-out or delivery meals and also plenty of restaurants nearby as well as simple pub food downstairs. Over a pub so some noise unavoidable on Friday and the weekend. Separate entrance with own key access at any time. Plentiful breakfast made to order by friendly hosts. Small rooms not really suited to business traveller but fine for holiday couples. Electric showers cut out due to low water pressure which was disappointing. Very convenient parking, although there was no guarantee of a spot when returning in the evenings.

Lovely staff very friendly .decorated for Halloween looked really scarey

Was a bit down on our luck after our canal boat broke down. These guys were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. We have popped in for a couple of drinks and all the staff are lovely. Definitely recommended if you want a friendly, cosy & nice time out next to the canal.

Such an idlilic spot, so relaxing and not far from the hustle and bustle of ring road and Llidl, a short stroll along the canal. Will defo be going back this Friday lunchtime, weather permitting. Met some lovely people and helpful staff!!

Lovely spot right on the canal room was fine, breakfast was amazing

Nice place by canal to the river severn

Nice chilled environment, next to the stourport canal

Stopped here for refreshments while on a bike ride on canal from dudley to stourport .very nice selection of drinks and a seating area next to the canal looks a little tired out side but still very happy to of stipped here .toilets were xlean and sfaff very welcoming

Room was nice, and good location by the canal. It would be good for me if breakfast was from 07:00 but not available until 08:30 The land lady did swap our breakfast for evening dinner. Nice

Absolutely fantastic time. The staff were welcoming and friendly, rooms were lovely and clean, and the breakfast was exactly what we needed, and the location is unrivaled. Thank you so much for our stay.

Really lovely location. Fantastically friendly and very helpfull staff. Loved our twin room - so much so that we wanted to stay an extra night but sadly they were already fully booked. Would definately book here again in the future. Many thanks Lynn and staff x

A great pub, with friendly regulars and good beer, always felt welcome even though I don't visit too often: it's a great place to sit with a beer overlooking the canal on a good day, and near the open fire in the winter.

Wanted to experience this pub for some time, the setting canal side was great, ducks meandering in, what's not to love? I didn't particularly feel it was a welcoming environment, there was a high volume of foul language from some of the patrons, so not some where I would want to take my kids! Cleanliness left an amount to be desired too, I am being generous! Apologies 🙏, location great, after that not for me or mine.

Right on the canal with Swans and Ducks worth a visit My last visit was over 20 years sgo

Lovely setting, clean with friendly staff and wonderful breakfast, what more can you ask for

No rooms, but an excellent canal side location.

Stayed for a weekend visiting Family. Rooms are great, pub has a great atmosphere and host Lynn hard working and very welcoming. Superb Breakfast.

Absolutely loved our visit rooms were warm and cozy lovely staff and a ideal location on the canal

Delicious Sunday roast followed by homemade bread& butter pudding

Great little hideaway with a canal right on the door step

Great place to stay right nxt to canal

No food even when they advertise it, wifi is poo, room average even though they recently refurb and decorated. A pretty location but that's about it.

Can't give any stars as someone called wendy took bookings for rooms for 2 friends of mine for this weekend 26th aug, when they called to check all was OK... No booking for them!! Can someone please explain??? Terrible service!!

Stopped for a meal and a couple of pints while on a canal boat trip, the beer was excellent (Butty Bach and Town Crier) but they had stopped serving food so a bag of peanuts had to do

Very disappointed. Looks great from the outside, very dated on the inside. Sticky tables 😳. Menu is extremely limited and seems from 1970s (chicken in a basket???) About 4 TVs on, showing different sports but far too loud. Could be an absolute goldmine given it's location but definitely needs to up it's game. Shan't bother again.

Moored just up from the pub. Parked car in car park overnight after asking permission from barman. Out of courtesy saw landlady the following day to see if we could keep car there for a few days as we would be drinking in there for the next week and was met with a very hostile response. It's simple. Just tell your staff to say no and stick a sign on the car park saying no overnight parking. I have no issue with not parking there. Just a simple courteous no would have been enough. The result is they will lose our trade for the week. No food available. Don't try to get there by Google maps as it will send you down a blocked road. I tried to tell her this as it must affect trade, but she didn't want to know.

Welcoming staff and locals, superb location on the canal bank, a short stroll down the foot path to the town centre, we will definitely be going back.

A lovely pub by the canal nice for a summers evening, On last visit was a little disappointed as they'd stopped serving food at just before 1 o'clock.

Nice little pub by the canal, with canalside seating aswell as a grassed beer garden! Worth a stop when walking along the canal!

Average pub, just had a quick drink whist on canal towpath.

Lovely one . Definitely back there. Thanks 😊

Short walk down the canal from Stourport and a hidden gem awaits you. Great traditional pub with a big sun trap all the way round.

Brilliant friendly canal side pub. Great pint of Guinness

Excellent location, excellent food, excellent beers and lovely staff. I would highly recommend!!

Very friendly and pleasant atmosphere. Good beers and range of gins. Allows dogs which is a big bonus. Hadn't time for food but having seen it served up will definitely be back to try the food.

Hidden little pub with friendly staff and an excellent canalside location.

Nice location on the banks of the canal, pleasant staff and surroundings.

Great food in a beautiful environment with very friendly and polite staff.

Unfortunately no food being served. For the beers they currently have summer ales and no bitter.

Lovely place to visit and a great pint after being on the canal

Clean, friendly,kids & dogs welcome, reasonably priced pub. Can enjoy a lovely beer garden or sit out the front by the canal watching the world go by.

Friendly canal side pub. Well worth a visit.

Great pub for a drink by the canal..the cobs are pretty good too

Super "locals" pub. Having a face-lift. I do hope they don't take the charm out of it.

Great pub out the way so not completely rammed

Good value, friendly staff. Nice outside area.

Friendly young lady behind the bar

Great food and lovely people. Love sitting by side of canal chilling

Old canal side pub decent selection of craft ales nice warm friendly atmosphere

A nice place to relax along the canal.

Haven't been in for a long time , heard that new landlord taken over and Euro football was showing so decided to give it a visit. Will be back soon , friendly pub great beer , well worth a visit and right by the canal so ideal for walkers , boaters and cyclists.

Ordered a beer and a glass of Merlot, the Merlot was off so returned it and it was replaced no questions or animosity. An excuse given though "most around here drink Sheraz so I don't know when the Merlot bottle was opened". We ordered a ploughman's lunch and a chicken kebab with chips. The ploughman's was a slice of ham, small wedge of cheese a pickled onion and a bit of salad and a small baguette which was stale and therefore unedable. The wife's kebab was slimy and unedable so she left it all and ate the chips. Nobody came to see if we needed anything or ask if the food were OK. We slowly drank our drinks expecting someone to come and clear the table but know one did so we left very disappointed. We went here because the reviews and the menu looked to our taste. The first thing we noticed on arrival was a scant and basic menu. I know things in their trade have been tough and can accept a simpler menu, but I can't accept basic food not cooked propper.

Poped in yesterday for a pint or two, Great location next to the canal, very polite, friendly staff! 👍

I feel that I must offer a different point of view to previous reviews. Yesterday, we visited the pub whilst visiting our cousin on his boat. The staff were absolutely wonderful- the lunch food was well priced; the thick ham sandwich and the cheesy chips were excellent - Thank you

Very badly run pub. Staff are not attentive at all and don't even know the basic drinks that they serve . Drinks took forever to turn up...half the time they didn't put the orders through.

Well kept beer and lovely service, overlooking the canal

Nice to sit and look over the canal. Friendly staff

Very rude staff. After sitting for 15 minutes and no acknowledgement from any staff, I popped head into pub and asked if we could order food and drinks. Very rudely and abruptly was told the waitress would get to us, proceeded to show me an order of 5 drinks that was waiting and told me if I didn't want to wait I should go elsewhere! Then she was rude about us to another table!! Fantastic customer service 😂 same member of staff was rude/abrupt previous week but put it down to reopening stress and getting used to new way of doing things - nope just rude. Walked to watermill instead, welcomed immediately, food and drink served with a smile within 10 mins! Will not be going back.

We had a lovely stroll along the old railway track a couple of weeks ago, from Torton, over the top of Wilden, and ended up coming off a bridge, and walked along the canalside, to the Bird In Hand. We only had drinks, this time, and sat outside, admiring the beautiful view, but the service was good, the staff welcoming, and the pub is really nice too. The pub is set in one of the best locations in Stourport, and only a short walk from the town

Nice beer, nice cob, beauty spot by the canal 👍🏼😎

Brilliant nice place nice people

Great staff, friendly warm atmosphere. Good beer & good food

Gem of a pub friendly staff and great service

Ok pub carpark not very big car park 15 cars at a push seating outside great watching the boats go by

Land lady was the worst person to ever run a pub, she was drunk and very very rude

Emma is a fabulous host and the ale is good in a great location next to the canal

Best Guinness ever, wish it was my local.

Very nice but no bicycle rack which meant that bikes were being leant on the tables reducing the available seating.

No faults, very nice pub and great location and drinks.

Nice selection of beer, by the canal, old school pub.

Very nice pub. Well kept beers. Staff very helpful. Right by the side of the canal. Very peaceful. Would recommend to anyone. 5 stars.

Really enjoyed it here. Unassuming local next to the canal with well kept beers.

Lovely friendly pub. Staff are so helpful. Popped in for dinner today but the kitchen is closed on Mondays! Owner helped us to sort a take away which was delivered to the pub. Will pop back later in the week to review the food :) Great atmosphere and location.

Good service busy, friendly staff

Excellent local pub on the canal that's warm, welcoming and a great place to catch up with friends.

Nice pub situated on the bank of the canal good food when available reasonable prices well worth a look if your in stourport on severn situated on the kiddi cut

A small pub by the canal. Good service and tasty food very reasonably priced

By the canal, which is nice in the summer haven't tried the food so can't comment

Great dog friendly pub right on the canal

Lovely warm and friendly pub with good food, situated on the side of the canal.

Great home cooked Sunday dinner, hearty portion and extra gravy. Very friendly staff too.

Friendly atmosphere and great beer selection

Brilliant food not much though but really good

Lovely old river side pub. Sunday carvery excellent , choice of meats .Staff very nice , service brilliant . Will definitely be coming back .☺️☺️

Canalside traditional pub with hearty food, good beer and friendly, attentive staff.

Nice canal side pub. Unfortunately the food is dreadful. Ordered a steak and ale pie, which arrived in a pie dish with a big hearty puff pastry lid on it. On removing the lid I discovers an almost empty dish. Then to add to this I bit into one of the chips only to discover that the inside was black. I drew this to the attention of the cook who told me that that was their normal portion and did not offer any apology for the standard of food. Needless to say I didn't consume the "food". Sadly the worst thing about this was the attitude of the staff. They genuinely could not have cared any less. Shame really.

Great memories of this pub last year.....sadly new owners now....awful food, even more awful service.....grumpy....rude and almost ungrateful for your custom...avoid.......
