Good honest pub food, friendly service and bonus free minibus from our accommodation But of a wait for the food but nothing major, the good deal on the cocktails made the wait less of an issue. Very good nachos, roast lamb, decent vegetarian options.

When we visited on Thursday evening we had the best evening, we greeted promptly by a very lovely lady who then looked after us all evening nothing was too much for her, she took time to speak to us and made us feel very welcome....

Sunday carvery to be honest best I’ve ever had fabulous You must go so tasty home made I would recommend booking as it was so busy

The BEST Sunday carvery. Simply stunning. One of the very few places to offer lamb too. Takeaway option availability. We are regulars here for a takeaway carvery and never disappoints! Special mention to Beth - always provides great customer service and a real credit to...

Quite simply the bar meals menu was very overpriced for what you had. Won't be going back again....

I really don't understand why there were 72 terrible reviews, honestly.....! A lovely table by the window smothered with an excellent service. The waitresses smiled with their eyes and genuinely wanted you to enjoy the experience. I had Cajun chicken with genuine warts and all...

Carvery was fantastic, the beef was falling apart and tasting amazing. The best carvery I have had in a long time.

Great, friendly staff, especially Felicity! Pork belly and garlic mushrooms were delicious. Good value.

We are regulars and visit at least once a week for a pint of lager, We stopped for a business lunch (first time eating in the restaurant) We both had the lasagne, garlic bread and chips. The food was excellent!!!! Very tasty! The chips were...

Have always thoroughly enjoyed coming to the Bird in Hand for meals . However yesterday , the device was appalling. The wait time for our meal was unacceptable . When a family member questioned the lady that appeared to be a supervisor we were dealt...

Stopped by on our way back from a day out in tenby, the waitress's were absolutely fantastic and the food was great. Top quality and good portions - the waitresses even made a fuss for my nieces birthday and wrote a card! Highly recommend

Amazing pub serving fabulous locally sourced home cooked food. Friendly service, especially Beth! Giving us advice on food choice and local places to visit! Hopefully we’ll be back tomorrow to take advantage of the FREE minibus to and from our campsite. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The Bird is always one of our favourite places to visit, the food is always reliable (and delicious) and the service is always very warm and welcoming. Todays service was especially warm from our waitress Rosey who was funny and very welcoming. Will definitely be...

Food was absolutely disgusting!! Over priced as well as over cooked. Couldn’t get a knife through the steak and hammer and bolster to break through the chips!! STAY AWAY

We had a wonderful Sunday carvery. Staff were so welcoming and kind and the food was great. Also liked it that the tables are well spaced.

Lush place for food, Sunday dinner is our favourite ! Staff are really attentive, Beth is amazing and really friendly.

The staff the meal the overall experience was first class. Highly recommended. The Meal was hot well cooked presented well. The décor was great.

Visited with family during Sunday evening. Welcome was pleasant and restaurant looked nice. Drink and food orders were taken and starters were a little slow to come considering there wasn't many people in the restaurant. Mixture of starters were ok, nothing special. Cheese on the...

Another great experience at this venue despite the very short notice provided on our way home to Carmarthen from the beach at the Gower. Staff could not have been more helpful and the food was delicious. Bendigedig.

We visited earlier in the month for my birthday, by chance I had driven past and thought it looked nice. I was nervous about going somewhere we’d never been but I shouldn’t have been because everything about the evening was perfect. Inside the decor is...

A great welcome. Staff very helpful. It will take about 45 minutes for your food to arrive but it will be excellent. Be patient. Portions massive , too massive. I hate wasting food. Cod superb so was Cottage pie which was enough to feed 4....

Gorgeous friendly pub. Great menu and lovely food, big portions and really reasonably priced. Staff were lovely and super attentive!! First time here but will definitely be back!! Thanks so much xx

Just had a top notch carvery and a pint 👌 👍 tasted great and had a massive plate full in fact too much ,good pint of Guinness and other half had a morretti and a fosters all served to you at the table

Popped in for a quick sunday lunch after hearing many great reviews about the local pub. when we walked in we was greeted by a lovely gentleman who swiftly showed us to our table. we had 3 sunday dinners which all had different meats and...

Absolutely super. Was here last year, and the year before. Really tasty food served freshly cooked and in a timely fashion. A really friendly welcome even though we only had moments to spare before last orders. Can highly recommend the cocktail list but couldn't avail...

Disappointing. A long wait for the food. The main courses were ok, but the desserts were dreadful. Service was a bit haphazard and the staff were disinterested. Very expensive for the quality of the food.

Food was very mediocre- overpriced for scampi - which I think is a safe choice but was bland and peas inedible. Not many healthy options on the menu.

We visited here during our visit whilst on holiday last week. Although there was a 40minute wait (which we were told about so was fine by us) it was very much worth it. All food was freshly cooked, hot and plentiful. Lovely views outside too....

Before starting this review I want to add that all staff were friendly and polite and the interior was very cozy. Despite this, we arrived at 6:30 and didn’t receive our food until 8pm and when it did arrive I found my chips and steak...

Absolutely spot on! Lush food. Fantastic staff. Very hard working and friendly. Can't wait 2 go back. Thoroughly enjoyed. Not even 1 complaint. Free minibus back 2 ammanforf after food and cocktails 2. Bargain! Beautiful view to sit outside sipping cocktails that get brought 2...

Food was amazing as was the air con which was needed when we called for lunch. Rosey was suberb, friendly, chatty, helpful, nothing was too much trouble.

Lovely pub and the food here is fantastic. The AC was a blessing due to the evening being so muggy. The staff are excellent and work very hard in making your night special. We really couldn’t fault the service, food or the place. 10/10!!!

Good food, but more importantly lovely staff. Particularly Iola,she was a very good ambassador for the pub. Helpful and considerate.

Great food and presented well. Top marks to Rosie for her lovely good humoured attention to our needs. We enjoyed our meal and the whole experience. We are so lucky to have this pub on our doorstep. The staff and food are great.

Heard so much about this place. I was disappointed. Food overpriced, i ordered full salad instead of chips with my cajun chicken, it was more like a small side salad with wilted rocket, 1/4 of a tomato sliced really small, peppers and red onion... if...

The pub is located on the edge of the village of Fforest, in very pleasant surroundings. When we arrived the car park was full and there were lots of people outside enjoying their drinks in the evening sunshine. A popular pub is usually a sign...

Amazing food.went for lunch. Had the best lamb lunch. Was amazing. Was served by Rosey She was really good. Gave us advise on the food and waiting times and was very attentive with a lovely personality. A real credit to the pub

This is our first visit and won’t be the last. The food is beautiful and Iona the waitress was great going above and beyond for us. Will be back soon.

We stop off at the Bird In Hand every fortnight on the way home from a club we attend. One of our group has eaten here before and suggested that we should eat today as a way of avoiding the coronation and I'm very glad...
