A pub that does amazing pizza is not easy to come by, but the Bird in Hand does some of the best pizza in London. Thin and crispy, with innovative combinations like guanciale, goat’s cheese and egg or salted ricotta, courgettes, rocket and truffle oil, as well as small plates like charcuterie, caesar salads, plus seafood and meat (ribeye, beef shin ragu pappardelle and duck breast) mains. The casual atmosphere is bustling, with wooden tables and warm lighting; it’s the perfect neighbourhood spot.
