The Bird in Hand is quite simply a pub of two halves.

On one side you have the wood panelled restaurant. Warm and welcoming with the feel of a country house dining room. On the other, a traditional pub atmosphere, with wood floors, pool, darts and of course all the big games screened live. You can be sure to receive a warm welcome from Karl and Lisa who will make sure you enjoy your visit.

Karl began his career in fine food when he joined London`s Le Méridien Piccadilly. Here he studied and worked to achieve the highest standards (Karl and Lisa also met here!) They both moved on to Hotel Martinez, Cannes in the South of France. Finally they returned to England where Karl secured the position of Head Chef at Pennyhill Park, where he remained for 16 years.

A wealth of experience and expertise from Karl and Lisa are now available to all in the warm and inviting surroundings of The Bird in Hand. So whether it’s a delicious meal with loved ones, friends or business associates in the comfort of the restaurant or a delicious homemade burger whilst discussing the ‘offside’ rule with your mates in the bar, The Bird in Hand, really does have something for everyone.

Coupled with the everyday excitement a pub brings Karl and Lisa are also able to offer catered parties and functions, whether it be wedding, anniversary, christening or funeral teas, please call Lisa to discuss menu/buffet options to suit your budget.

And…. If all this wasn’t enough, you can take this fabulous food home and claim it as your own! The Bird in Hand offers a full catering service, so choose your dish or dishes and have the kitchen prepare it for you to collect and serve at home* (All food is served in china serving dishes/platters. A deposit for crockery will be charged and refund given on safe receipt of clean china)

    I had the spaghetti carbonara the sauce was creamy and thick with the vegetables cooked just right. The service was amazing and the girl who served us was very polite and kind and understanding when my grandad and I needed a minute. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a delicious meal from a lovely small town pub.

    Excellent. Stopped here for dinner and it was excellent. The food tasted lovely, massive portions and fast service. The lady behind the bar was very helpful and friendly. The nachos were fantastic with lovely flavour. The décor was typical pub and the place was clean and tidy. Overall highly recommend!!!

    I came here with my friend for her birthday with her little girl as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing especially the desserts. The restaurant area is small so I imagine booking would be a good idea at busier times.

    A great place for a delicious, well-priced lunch served by a friendly team. Restaurant and bar options to eat. Good range of beers.

    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 than pretty).
