This restaurant is consistently good. The fish specials are fresh and well cooked The puddings are super. The building is old and well maintained. I would suggest you call in if you are near this special part of Norfolk

Went to The Bird in Hand on May Bank Holiday, having been a number of times before, and was rather disappointed this time. Some of the cooking was very basic pub fare but at restaurant prices, which was not the case when I last visited in Autumn 2012. When I asked for my steak burger to be cooked medium rare... More

Excellent food here, I had Kleftico lamb and my friend had duck breast. Both very well prepared, accompanied with very well selected sides. The wine list is short but features some great options. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the dining room has a touch of elegance (relieved not to see IKEA furniture in there...). When I arrived... More

Many thanks for your kind review, we are very pleased that your experience at The Bird was enjoyable. Tristran's Crème Brulee is very popular with our guests, and we hope you will return soon to try some of his other delicious home made desserts! More

Great country pub which I would highly recommend. The food took a bit of time to arrive but it was well worth the wait. The service and friendliness of the staff cannot be faulted. A large menu whcih catered for vegetarians as well as meat lovers. Definitely worth visiting.

It's not the first time I have visited the 'Bird In Hand' and I have never been disappointed while both under previous management and now the present owners, David and Gill. This time, however I really felt that I had to put down in black and white how good this place is. Having not visited for some time we chose... More
