Soggy undercooked pastry margarine on the vegetables! Who puts margarine on the vegetables in 2024 place is like a throwback to the 70’s.

Ok, I will make a disclaimer-this is my local. Earlier this year the pub changed hands. Many in the village were apprehensive about the new owner taking over. The Bird had been in the same family for over 30 years and they were very much loved and respected, and lets face it-no one likes change. However, we are nearly seven months down the line and I can honestly say The Bird is still an absolute asset to the community. Yes, there have been changes-long standing staff have sadly left, who were all part of the furniture-and have been replaced. However, the new faces have proved to be excellent in their hospitality and friendliness. Special mentions to Ethan, Ebony and Chris, who always give a welcoming smile and are happy to engage with everyone and give excellent service. With Jason and the team back in the kitchen the food is as good as it has always been. So to those of you who may have stayed away since Colin moved on, please, visit again soon, you won't be disappointed. The pub is due to shut for a few weeks from 15th Jan for a refit. Investment is being made and I am sure things will only improve further. Merry Christmas to all staff and customers at the Bird In Hand, Saltford!

Had a lovely night out here!! the staff were so kind and super accommodating for out dietary needs, thanks for a great night!! me and my girls had a lovely time

Went for a quiet drink with friends 3pm on Friday 15/12/23. 2 young girls serving behind the bar clearly very inexperienced. Slow service and communication non-existent. After 10 minutes to change a barrel (the pub was not busy), the drink was brought to the table and virtually thrown down. The bad attitude was challenged, but not helped by a regular customer who was clearly drunk, rude and vocal. He seemed to be trying to ‘make an impression’ with the young girls, but looked rather foolish. The worst experience ever in a pub, and I’ve visited a few in the past 50 years. Never, ever gain.
