This Restaurant is Closed Long Term

This is a restaurant, where drinking alcohol, including draught and bottled beer, is only allowed when food is being consumed.

Formerly the Bird in Hand or Bird, a popular gay venue. When sold by Greene King to a local shop owner only a vocal campaign stopped it becoming an estate agency. Stripped of its fittings including the bar and reconstructed it reopened in May 2013 as the Brunswick, a smartly furnished restaurant with a bar area to one side and a garden at the rear. Having lost its former customers it struggled to make an impact. In November 2014 it reopened as Navadhanya, a fine dining Indian restaurant. In December 2020 planning permission was granted for a mixed use redevelopment which included the ground floor use being commercial/restaurant/public house. Navadhanya relocated across the road.
