Visited the birdcage on 11/08/26 with my nan for an early birthday dinner for my nans 80th since i couldnt get down for her actual birthday. The service was amazing, amazing customer service given and was always checked on if we were alright. Food was decent filling and not badly priced considering its close to town.
Would definitely go again

We were looking to have a meal out in Brixham, but needed to satisfy various different tastes.
The birdcage hit every taste spot on.
Best burger I’ve had in a while. Top 3 Katsu chicken dishes my daughter has had. My wife loved the scampi and my youngest ate all of her kids meal (unheard of).
The starters were finished with aplomb as well, very tasty.
Staff were really friendly and engaging and the atmosphere was clearly a friendly local pub.
Well worth a visit.
