Customer Review Summary

Reviewers praise fresh, homemade food, with the chicken schnitzel and mash from the specials menu and the fillet steak named as favourites, plus a homemade brownie for dessert. One reviewer with a gluten free diet found plenty of options. Staff are described as friendly and attentive. Portion size is the recurring complaint: one diner says a Winter Warmers meal was child sized and left them hungry.

  • Jay Jackson
    “Another great meal at the Bird. I had the chicken schnitzel with mash from the specials menu. Would highly recommend! My wife had a vegetarian option and the kids opted for fish fingers and chicken nuggets. The only thing preventing clean plates all round was the portion sizes! Although I managed to fit in a homemade brownie for dessert. Excellent, fresh food with a great atmosphere.”

    “Lovely pub, with a nice atmosphere with friendly and helpful staff. I am Gluten free and they had lots of options. All of our food was tasty and well presented. I would recommend the fillet steak. Ample parking is also a bonus.”

    “Stopped in here for a pre Saturday Mother's Day lunch with hubbie and adult kids. We hadn't booked but a lovely lady found us a table even though they were very busy. Food was good and came fairly quickly to say how busy they were . Food …”
  • Liz Allen
    “Whilst I cannot fault the food quality, please be warned if you order from the £10.95 Winter Warmers menu you will be served with a child sized portion although no mention of this is on the menu. I left still feeling hungry 😢 Even now I can't see how £10.95 can be justified for such a small amount of food. …”
  • Tracey Wattam
    “This was our 1st time visiting Bird in the barley and it definitely won't be our last. The food was brilliant so very tasty and you could tell it was all fresh and homemade service was quick and the staff very attentive. We will definitely be goin back .”
