Forest Hill’s new community local
Welcome to the Bird in Hand, 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, is Forest Hill’s new community local with a few nods to our history as well as taking on a slightly new form.
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!

Product Highlight
Sunshine in a glass! ☀️ Abilius Blanco from Spain is the ultimate easy-drinker — crisp, soft, and bursting with delicate citrus and juicy white fruit flavors. Perfect for sipping in the sunshine, and at £20 a bottle, it’s an easy choice too.
Cheers to mid-week days and even better wines!
Volden
Currently brewing… Possibly London’s best-kept secret and can only be found in an Antic pub: our lovely Volden Session Ale.
