About This Pub
Ah, The Hand and Flower – it's one of those pubs that just feels right when you step inside, with its welcoming atmosphere and that cosy fireplace adding a real touch of warmth on a chilly evening. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the food is a real highlight; people are going on about the fresh ingredients and hearty portions, like the rack of ribs or sharing platters that make every visit feel like a treat without breaking the bank. The service stands out too – the team is incredibly accommodating, especially if you're there for something special like a celebration, where they've bent over backwards to make things memorable. On the flip side, it's a shame about the inconsistent opening times and that it's shut one day a week, which could throw a spanner in the works for spontaneous plans. Plus, without a website, it's not the easiest to get the lowdown online, so you might end up winging it a bit. Overall, though, it's got that 4.3 rating for a reason – it's a gem of a place that does the classics well and leaves you with a smile, but just keep those little niggles in mind if you're heading over.

-
Great value for money, as the meals are delicious and reasonably priced for what you get.
Cons
-
The operating hours seem a bit inconsistent from what's listed, and it's closed one day a week, which might catch you out if you're planning a visit.
-
No website means it's trickier to check menus or book ahead online, so you might have to pop in or call to sort things out.
-
While most reviews are glowing, one person only gave it four stars, noting they hadn't tried the food yet, so it might not stand out immediately if you're just passing by.

I recently visited this pub with a friend and we decided to have lunch. I decided to have the rack of ribs and my friend had the fish and chips. The food was delicious made from fresh, quality ingredients and really big portion size’s.
Definitely well worth the money. The service was excellent, with attentive staff who went out of their way to ensure we were satisfied at all times. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting and a local business well worth supporting. I’ll definitely be returning here.
Thank you to The Hand & Flower.
First time visiting this pub. We shared a nachos and the short rib. Would definitely recommend this pub.
We are so pleased we chose the Hand and Flower for a celebration of Dad's life. We had the whole place to ourselves and played dad's favourite music with dear friends and family. The food and service was excellent.Thank you Simon and team for a day Dad would have approved of.Such a nice pub with a relaxing atmosphere.
We held a celebration of life gathering at The Hand and Flower for my father. We are very grateful to Simon and the rest of the team for the fantastic food, service and welcoming atmosphere. Throughout the planning, the team at The Hand and Flower were so accommodating and helpful. On the day of the celebration, each guest was welcomed as soon as they came into the pub which the family appreciated. We were very grateful for the care taken in ensuring that a good selection of food was available that was suitable for one of the guests with coeliac requirements. We have also eaten at The Hand and Flower and the service and food has been consistently excellent. An excellent local business, well worth supporting. Thank you.
Came across by accident, while looking to meet somewhere else. Happy we did, very cozy and nice pub with very friendly service. The menu looks nice. They do jazz at valentine's day. There is a fireplace as well. Will come back to try the food.
