Stumbled on this lovely friendly pub, when using another local business. Decided to try south African dishes from the menu.... So glad we did. Food was superb, fresh and well presented... very reasonable prices too. Would HIGHLY recommend.... Staff were very friendly, telling us about his travel to Africa... Was very interesting.... Would definitely be going again soon... Thank you guys x

Great pub with classic grub and some delicious South African dishes. The Bobotie croquettes were cracking and the Lamb Bunny Chow curry was delicious. We had fun playing eye-spy with all the South African decor. Very warm and friendly service too.

Love the food and vibe this slightly trendy country pub has to offer. And the service was brilliant. So glad we came across it and would go back in a heartbeat if I was in the area. Great country pub, great dinner. Thanks to the team and chef for making it such a fun and delicious!

In brief: Good, pleasant staff. Good gin selection. Typical, slightly old pub furnishings and decor. Good sounding food ruined by over-use of deep fat fryer.Disappointing. Was really looking forward to trying this pub with a 'good food' reputation on many sites but it was the food that let the visit down.In depth: The premises are fairly standard with a long bar and a mix of seating areas including one outside. No car park though but, space permitting, on street parking available.Greeted by very pleasant, helpful member of staff. Choice of set or à la carte menu at lunch time. Both menus sounded very promising. Sadly, nearly all the starters and mains chosen by four of us had an element from the deep fat fryer or frying pan. For instance, lamb (a normally fatty meat) was covered in breadcrumbs and deep fried! Portion size was good. Presentation of food was an attempt to make poor food look better than it tasted.It was summer and the flies were about as well and, whilst we were in start of a more rural area, I cannot understand why the issue is not addressed.So, sadly, despite good reviews on other sites we will not be making any repeat visits. I said at the beginning, disappointing. I8

Had a large family gathering here and everything was exceptional. The staff were wonderful, food was incredible and the atmosphere was great too. Loved the mix of traditional pub and South African cuisine. Certainly unique and could most definitely be described as a hidden gem. Would return again myself and will recommend to plenty of others.Thanks for a great experience

Lovely pub, perfect for Sunday dinner which was beautifully cooked, in a hearty portion size, and served by friendly landlords. Loved the South African desert option too, like an even better sticky toffee pudding. The pub is cosy with a log fire burning too. Will be back!

We recently moved to Long ashton and wanted to try something local to us, we walked in in the bird in Hand and were acknowledged and welcomed straight away. Service was friendly and professional. My partner had the chicken burger which was really tasty! I was really pleased as they had my favorite gin which is not available everywhere. Overall a great experience and we will be back again!

Serves Guinness again. Small but good selection of craft beers and lager. Food is not your standard pub grub, good quality, but always check the monthly menu to see if their is something you like. Great scoth eggs
