Bird In Hand Public House

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
