Bird In Hand — Restaurant in England

Best Pub Sunday roast I have ever had. 3 courses at a very reasonable price. Service was friendly and quick. The staff were courteous and extremely helpful, and the food was sublime. We came in with a large party but everyone was served starter at the same time, which was also the case when we were served main and desert; no mean feat I can tell you having worked the other side for many years as a student. Starter was delicious, soup of the day was broccoli and Stilton, and I personally wanted more but I knew we had the roast dinner coming. Others had the Chicken satay, which they told me was equally lovely. The roast dinner, which I chose beef, was more than enough for the good sized man appetite I brought with me. The roast potatoes were spot on, the Yorkshires cooked exactly right, and just enough gravy to cover all this as well as the tender and delicious perfectly cooked beef and vegetables. For desert we had profiteroles, which were a light and delicious combination of pastry, caramel, cream and chocolate. Despite this I had to have a try of the chocolate brownie my brother had ordered, which I have to say is possibly one of the best brownies I have ever had the pleasure to consume. All in all I stand by my initial proclamation; it will take something pretty special to top a Sunday lunch of...

Lovely country pub in the heart of Sandhurst with genuinely good food.

There are two entrances, one is to the restaurant (where we went) and the other to the pub where you get sport screen and a more casual atmosphere.

The nice thing is that you can go to either side if you want, but if you fancy a nice meal/restaurant evening, you don't have feel like you are in a sports pub. The pub is usuallu busy enough on the weekend to have a good atmosphere.

The decor is a little old fashioned, and the table service can be a little slow. This is a local pub and no one is in a hurry. So as long as you enjoy the company of who you are with and your drink (maybe get up for your own top up midway) you'll have a good time.

Its good food -definitely better than just pub grub, but still plenty of favourites (lasagna, nachos, burgers) if you are with someone less food adventurous (ie. Monkish, Thai curry, bourguinon etc...).

But the deserts are definitely the highlight - so good.

In total, if you have three courses and no wine, it comes to around £25/£30 a head.

A good place to come to meet up with friends for dinner and drinks, with a decent pub garden in the summer (though it's more. Functional...

My wife and I share main meals and today had the Beef Stroganoff and a steak & veg pie (freshly baked pot pie, not a slice). Three things; both meals were extremely tasty and very nicely seasoned with rich sauces; the portions are big (which works well for us when they taste this good and you are sharing) and although many would not notice, every morsel of the beef was gristle and fat free and there was plenty of it.

Someone works extremely hard to make 'simple' pub grub become exceptional.

Lastly, they do consistently brilliant triple cooked chips, the sort that others strive for but rarely achieve (we ask for them to be extra crispy which is naughty on the waistline but we don't do it that often so what the hell! Thank you all, will be back very soon....
