What a lovely country pub. The staff were lovely, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was great. The sea bass was beautiful and it was the best salt and pepper squid I?ve tasted in a long time. We will be back :)

The Hand & Dagger is consistently excellent, and I can't recommend it highly enough.Over the dozen times we've visited, the food has never disappointed. There's a good selection on the menu, without creating decision fatigue, and there's always additional choices on the specials board. The food is excellently prepared and flavourful, with good sized portions. I feel it's well priced for the quality.The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. If you're lucky enough to get a table by the open fire in the Winter months, you won't to leave. Martin, the owner, and the rest of the team are fabulous.Will be continuing to return to The Hand & Dagger. Here's to its continuing success!

My wife and I just this evening dined here for our 13th wedding anniversary, and what a treat it was!The staff were friendly and attentive, and our server had a good grasp of dietary restrictions and how they affected the menu options.The chef set my mind at ease regarding a particular menu choice and offered a quality substitution, and there were a few vegan and gluten-free options for dessert which surprised and delighted us. This attention to us as customers really made our evening.One of the owners did several rounds of the place checking on people and engaging in conversation with the regulars - clearly a labour of love for him.Dietary restrictions: There were several vegan and gluten-free menu options available when we visited, including a couple that were both.I enjoyed a dairy-free and gluten-free butter chicken curry with roast turkey substitute for yoghurt marinated chicken, and a delicious vegan and gluten-free apple crumble and a vegan and gluten-free thunder and lighting ice-cream with chocolate sauce and cinder block chunks.I'm not a vegan as I eat meat, but I have a dairy and a gluten intolerance so I often struggle to find meals that cater to both of these restrictions.This place was a delight to dine at, as the staff were so knowledgeable and the chef made sure to check in with us before we ordered.Parking: Just next to the pub, loads of spaces.

Can't fault it. Great food, nice staff, plenty of parking and the prices are realistic. It can get busy but it's well worth stopping off on the chance of a table and try it out! The haggis and mustard starter is amazing, it's must have. The hand and dagger is our new go to as we only live 2 miles away!

Food and service are excellent, but unfortunately, vaping inside the pub is allowed by the owner.Vaping indoors isn't illegal, but when the pub is primarily used by diners, the attitude is questionable.Sorry, but we won't be returning to eat our evening meal with smells of chocolate and strawberry in the air.
