When i visited this Beautiful and very Atmospheric/Historical Establishment, I was Greeted with a very Warm Welcome from the Gorgeous and Friendly Lady. I ordered my choice of Beer/Ale, and she poored my Drink for me. Then i paid her what i thought was a very Good price, a lot cheaper than Local Pub.

We ate at the feathers on 2 different days : Lunchtime & evening , both times were wonderful. Polite , efficient Staff . Lovely pint of Otter . Lunchtime we had Large all day brunch ( Staff let me have extra beans instead of tomatoes ) & the Ham , egg & chips . Top quality ingredients properly cooked & plenty of it . Evening meal was Rump steak ( Staff were kind enough to add an order of gravy for me , which wasn`t on the menu , for my meal ) , Steak & ale pie , chips , side of onion rings .
