Forest Hill’s new community local

We are delighted to announce that the Bird in Hand pub is now open again, following a refurb to the interior and something of a make-under to our front facade. 

The pub, which has been in situ for some 200 years, will serve as Forest Hill’s new community local with a few nods to our history as well as taking on a slightly new form.

On the hand pulls we have Volden Session Ale at £4.30 (W*****spoons eat your heart out) and a selection from local breweries on the taps.  Our wine menu includes our house wines at £20 a bottle.

We are truly excited to be operating in SE23 once more, and we want to ensure we are a valuable part of our community with something for everyone to enjoy and a place to make memories.

We’ve enjoyed hearing lots of stories of old of pub from local residents, and so if you do happen to have any, we would love to hear your memories of the place!

Volden

Possibly London’s best-kept secret and can only be found in an Antic pub: our lovely Volden Session ale.

With the price fixed at £4.30 for a pint and a range of guest beers, why choose anywhere else for delicious cask ale?
