Nestled in the village of Fforest near Pontarddulais, The Bird in Hand is famous for its homemade food, including a mouth-watering steak and ale pie. It's a dog-friendly spot with a warm, community feel. The pub has been an integral part of the community for over 200 years and even offers a free courtesy minibus on Friday and Saturday evenings!
