Hand And Flower

We stopped in for a light dinner. Atmosphere is definitely typical pub style. Waitress was very friendly and helpful. Menu was limited to just a few items. We ordered the Haddock with chips and peas. We acutely split the order which was plenty for each of us. The fish and chips were tasty.

The pub has a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, but unfortunately the food was disappointing. The chips were cold and tasted very average. They arrived only 5 minutes after ordering on a Tuesday afternoon at 3pm, with only a few tables occupied, so it seems they were not freshly cooked to order.

I have been to this pub a few times while in Olympia. It is a fantastic place with friendly and polite staff, even when busy. The beer prices are reasonable and it is definitely worth a visit. I did not have a chance to try the food, but it looked delicious!

We enjoyed our evening. The Hand and Flower has changed hands a lot since we've lived here, and we were happy to see it's back open under new management. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, serving staff were attentive and friendly. It's ambiance isn't there yet, but that will come as it beds in.

We were excited to try the smashed avocados that were advertised on the menu outside of the restaurant. However, we were disappointed to be told that they were not available as it was only on the breakfast menu and they had forgotten to take it down. Despite it being only 12.30, they refused to accommodate our request. It seemed strange to us that they would not have avocados available. As a result, we decided to leave and instead enjoyed a fantastic lunch at Cafe del Mundo, just two doors down. The service was great and the prices were more affordable.
