Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Bird in Hand
Main road pub in the suburbia linking Dartford and Crayford with a slightly unusual single-storey, bow-windowed frontage. The partly opened-out, L-shaped interior has been given a simple semi-modern refurbishment at some stage, and all parts (including the front pool and darts area) look tidy enough. A basic beer garden can also be found at a lower level at the back. Just London Pride (£4.80) available from the bank of four handpumps, but the reversed clips on the other three handles were for Greene King IPA, Landlord and Harvey's.

The Bird in Hand is a large roadside pub that is situated on a busy road and well away from the middle of Dartford.
Once inside there is a decent sized L shaped room which is carpeted,there is a pool table and darts board to the front left and bench seating and chairs to the right,there are normal tables and chairs elsewhere.
The bar is on the mid left side,the TV to the right was showing the Bournemouth v Spurs game.
There were four real ales on,i had a drink of Whitstable Pale Ale which was a very nice drink,the other beers were Whitstable Oyster Stout,Adnams Lighthouse and Doom Bar.
A pleasant and comfortable pub to have a drink in.
