About Bird In Hand
Bird In Hand is a pub in Hayle at 16 Trelissick Rd, with a food shack called the Smoke Shed at the rear in the gardens. The shed serves smoked meats, including beef rib and chicken tenders, so the pub offers a kitchen counter outside as well as drinks inside. Dogs are welcome, which suits visitors travelling with their pets. The pub sits next to Paradise Park, an exotic bird park, and its neighbour gives the name a fitting setting. Night time entertainment rounds out the evenings.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly rave about the Smoke Shed at the back, singling out the beef rib that fell apart and the chicken tenders as moist, with the meat described as smoked to perfection. Staff come across as friendly and welcoming, and the beer is called top quality. The main complaint is food: it runs only on certain days and hours, and one says the pub's own food stopped despite the sign.

“Food not available but beer top quality . Pleasant service .”

“We visited the Paradise Parke and stopped in here for a quick drink before heading off and The Smoke Shed in the gardens was just opening. The Menu looked appetising so we ordered a bite and, wow. The food here was very tasty, piping hot and plentiful. It was an absolute treat and I would happily head back here again. The meat was well seasoned and smoked to perfection! The gent running it was also very chatty and friendly and recommended out next destination for day! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good luck to The Cods for next season ⚒️”

“Decent little pub with friendly staff. They don't offer food (despite the sign saying otherwise) but there is a shack type of thing at the rear which is open on certain days at certain hours and seems to be very good quality.”

“Wow, just wow. Amazing food from the Smoke Shed, the flavour texture was amazing. Misses had the chicken tenders, so moist, I had the beed rib. It literally fell apart, so tender and tasted amazing. I would definitely recommend. Staff very welcoming, friendly. This is a place you all need to try, with the benefit of an exotic bird establishment next door.”
