A couple of fact:-
1) The beer industry the is in decline 8% year on year.
2) 4 pubs close a day.
3) This Pub is is in a great location.

I can honestly say that that I had the worst experience ever in this pub. I've also visited a significant number of pubs in my time as I've spent 10 year's working for the global number 1 brewer in the On-Trade so I 'd like to think I'm justified with my opinion.

I have had a similar experience to a similar reviewer; who also made a similar mistake to myself as bringing a pram into the pub. I was also attacked/approached by the French owner who has all the customer service abilities of a female Eric Cantona at Selhurst Park with a bad dose of PMT.

I too as per your previous reviewer was too shocked to make a immediate retort. I am anoyed at myself and my spineless mates that we didn't leave straight away.

Therefore the lesson is is thus:-

The pub trade in the UK is on the ropes, this pub however is in a great location..... If you want to be a seagull and follow the trawler, go for it.

Just don't be surprised if you are greeted by a kung fu kick of customer service!!

We recently had a surprise 40th birthday party here for my sister and the venue was absolutely perfect.
They have a great sized room at the back opening on to a very secure garden for children, which also had a games room. We didn't see them all afternoon!
The buffet food was delicious and very well presented.
They even took the time to dim the lights for the lighting of the cake.
Lovely time had by all, thank you!

Have tried this place several times over the last few years and still can't get past the feeling that I'm walking into the front room of someones house and am not particularly welcome. Don't have any definite issues to back this up with. Nobody has ever said anything untoward or anything like that, it's just the overall feel of the place. A similar backstreet boozer is the Star And Garter which is not too far away. Again in terms of decor and regulars it's like entering someones house, but I don't get the same feeling there which makes me think there must be something genuinely odd about The Plume Of Feathers.

This is a nice pub. one of the best we went to on our tour, it was very quaint and the staff are nice and polite. It was very small and can imagine that it may be a bit oppressive if its busy but it was very quite when we went in and it was lovely.
