A Traditional Country Pub
Plume of Feathers is above all, a traditional English country pub. Serving the local community for over 200 years as a place to relax, enjoy company and exchange news and information.
We have a hand picked selection of fine ales from the local Buttcombe brewery and always have one guest ale, and a traditional cider. A wide selection of wines are available by the glass or bottle, and our top shelf includes quality single malt whiskeys and other fine spirits.
Families Welcome
We welcome families and accompanied children. A stream runs past outside, and there is a shallow ford one hundred metres away. We have a beer garden at the rear of the pub .
We have a variety of very traditional pub games including shove ha'penny, table skittles, darts and a pool table. Please think carefully before challenging the "Old Boys" to cribbage for 50p a corner. Board games and playing cards are available on request.
The Food
We use only fresh ingredients in all our meals. We use local produce and suppliers wherever possible for our meat, fish and vegetables. We have a dining room that seats twenty, and additional tables are available in our bar area. English weather permitting, food may also be served in our beer garden.
Our chef shops on a daily basis, sourcing the freshest and best produce available, and only then deciding the best way to cook it. For this reason it is impossible to maintain an accurate menu of exactly what is on the blackboard today.
