The Bird In Hand

You'll find this place tucked away in Gosmore, where it feels more like stumbling into someone's particularly well-stocked front room than a commercial operation. The kind of pub where regulars nod hello from their usual spots at the bar, and the staff remember what you drink after your second visit. The food goes well beyond typical pub grub without trying to be something it's not. They close at a civilised midnight most nights, which gives you plenty of time to work through their beer selection and maybe stay for 'just one more' when you really should head home. It's the sort of place that makes you understand why people move to villages.
