Bird In Hand

A traditional country inn dating from 19th Century set among stone dwellings at the bottom of the village high street, 400 metres from the A4 and very close to the Bristol to Bath Railway Path and River Avon. There is a long L-shaped bar and a pleasant conservatory which is currently used as a dining area. There are fine views over Kelston from both the conservatory and the garden to the hills beyond. There is a small family area and dogs are very welcome. Quality food, including tapas, is served lunchtimes and evenings and all day at weekends (reduced menu from 2.30-5.30 on Saturdays), plus gluten free options. There is a petanque piste at the bottom of the garden, and a summer beer and music festival is held in the garden each July. The last Tuesday evening of each month is designated as a special themed food night which often sells out - book ahead! Also the Sunday roasts are particularly popular.
