About Hand & Racquet
Classic fare from pies to fish 'n' chips and burgers served in a traditional neighbourhood pub.
Converted by Whitbread from a Boots shop in 1995 as the Hand & Racket and renamed Hogshead in 1999, this medium sized, modern pub pub was acquired by Greene King and took its current name in 2004. A 2015 refurbishment has enhanced the pub.
A good atmosphere, variety of furniture, polished wood and tiled floors, wood panelled and painted walls, brick fireplace and raised seating area at the back.
Wide choice of food (not Fri & Sat evenings) and party reservations include free buffet.

Booked an area for 18 people this evening and sent in our pre order during the week. James , VJ & Nick the chef have been nothing but incredible from the start. Service has been great and food and desserts was a 10/10. Area was ready for us and food was brought out for the time we asked for. Food was incredible, I got the House Burger which i highly recommend!

Our first time here and great food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere where we were able to talk! Perfect spot after a busy day! Must have the Duck hash! Licked our plate clean! 💖

Excellent and friendly bar staff, nice pub, can't comment on the food but menu looks really good. They also have an accessible toilet which is always a plus for me as my partner is a wheelchair user. Just passing through as I live far away but would happily return if I am back this way again. Nice selection of beers and ales, very different to most pubs I have been to. Would recommend.

This pop was very nice. Food was so delicious and atmosphere was so nice. Especially live song was so amazing. My family had happy time.

First time visit to Hand & Racquet this evening while in the area. From first walking in, felt a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service at the bar was quick and friendly, drink served cold and fresh. No issues at all! Lots of friendly people here, music at a good level and everyone enjoying themselves. Will look forward to returning again!
