London: Gastropub – The Bird in the
Hand. The gastropub, The Bird in the Hand, is third of four restaurants for
restaurateur Jasper Gorst. Set in the heart of Brook Green, Kensington and a
short walking distance from Holland Park, and Shepherd’s Bush, it is
appropriately named; as the proverb goes… “A bird in the hand - is worth two in the bush”.
Gastropub – The Bird in the
Hand. Head chef Steve prepares
delicious, simple yet sophisticated gastropub food. He combines British and European classics and
enhances them by using modern techniques with his own interpretation. The Menu
is divided into five sections; Garden – Land – Sea – Land – and - Heaven.

style.
