Real Ale Ray left this review about Bird in Hand
A good locals pub now under new management. We met the young landlady on our visit who was very upbeat and chatty and made us very welcome, and I have to say her cask ales were in tip top condition. The bar area was about the best room in here and to get to the lounge you had to take a walk around the back of the pub.
The lounge area to me was quite grim looking and I think the lighting in here didn't help to make it any more inviting. Three ales on handpump HPA, Proper Job and Butty Bach.

On my first visit to this pub, mid afternoon, I entered the bar on the left hand side. There were about four or five locals in just after the pubs 4pm opening time. The Wye Valley Buttybach was very good. Later on, the lady behind the bar brought out a plate of filled muffins for the customers to enjoy free of charge. I left very satisfied after a pint and a half and two muffins! (score 6).
My second visit about 9pm on a Friday night (18 Oct 19!), I entered the "lounge" on the right hand side. There was one lady sat near the bar in one of the most dull dingy rooms I could imagine. I left and entered the public bar. I had a quick half of "something" I can't remember. With about six people sat around wall seats, there was no pub atmosphere at all.

Old Boots left this review about Bird In Hand
Two bar pub as described I went in the left hand one labelled just "bar". L shape with pool, darts, jukebox and two big tellys. cask beers were Wye Valley Buttybach, and HPA, plus Three Tuns Rantipole, two low T-bars provide standard kegs and there were some cobs on sale. It's a decent local pub but busier than on Aqualung’s visit and the outside door to the lounge was open on a Friday evening. It also has a one armed landlord and hand written “cash only” signs dotted about.
