Plume of Feathers in Daventry

New landlady, two weeks ago. Visited with 5 friends. Excellent welcome, great food and good service. Loved it will definitely be back.

Just finished an excellent Sunday Roast collected as a takeaway. The roast beef was tender and tasty accompanied by some excellent roasts and veg. Best takeaway for ages and will certainly be back.

Well this is definitely the best place to have a meal in the area. I should know because I ate out every night for 6 months and this was my favorite location by far! The team are so friendly and make you feel so welcome! The food is superb and freshly cooked.Just came back after being away from the area since January! Has it changed with Covid! Not a chance still, the friendly welcome by the fabulous team!Thank you so much!!!

We were 6 adults on a narrowboat holiday moored overnight on the Grand Union canal. A 10 min walk past the church brought us straight to the pub. Apart from food and drink an important consideration was their Covid 19 measures. On arrival we were impressed by the building's overall well maintained appearance and cleanliness plus the additional procedures put in place to minimise the risk of infection. Our table was nicely separated from other diners and the overall ambience was of a warm and friendly pub. For mains our order included liver, steaks and a Thai curry accompanied by Narrow Gauge beer and various wines, we did not have starters or a dessert. In all respects this was a most enjoyable meal made all the the more remarkable by the exceptional value for money. But perhaps in these exceptional times as visitors we appreciated the high standards of hospitality and service set by the managers and staff to ensure we voted the Plume of Feathers best pub of our holiday. Thx guys.

Lovely staff, local beers and friendly warm welcome and atmosphere! Perfect village pub! Landlady and landlord very friendly and chatty! Fantastic experience! Will be back for food!

What a great, friendly no nonsense pub! A real find. They couldn’t be more helpful at squeezing us in even though we hadn’t booked a table. Food was great pub grub and tHe portions were very generous and great value for money. Not to be missed!

we came to Weedon to visit the depot and arrived in time to fall into this lovely pub. They were serving the perfect lunch, sausage and mash with delicious Cumberland sausage and perfect mash with peas and sublime gravy. The staff were all very friendly and the service was brilliant. The decor was tastefully done and in keeping with the age of the pub. highly recommended as is the depot.

The atmosphere was welcoming with a mixture of age groups ! We ordered Chicken tikka and fish and chips. The food was very well presented well cooked and tasty! As local residents we will be returning very soon.

C'est la fête à Weedon, toute la ville est dans les rues et çà s'amuse dur.Cependant une table nous est proposée en intérieur.accueil et service sympa.Carte très typée pub, et c'est un compliment, les traditionnels sont bien sur la carte , nous avons l’embarras du choix.La cuisine est bien faite, les quantités corrects, tous les mets choisis sont bons et nous sommes servis par le cuisinier.Les bières sont bonnes.Les prix sont bien maitrisés et nous mangeons à 3 pour 62£ ce qui est facilement 15 / 25£ de moins que les autres pubs du secteur.Anecdote: Nous quittons la salle après avoir payé à la serveuse qui c'était occupée de nous. Un serveur nous rattrape sur le parking pour savoir si nous avons payé !!!Pas au point.

Tried this pub today. And was blown away by the great service and great home cooked food. I have tried most of the pubs in the Daventry area. And this was a pleasant surprised. Highly recomended

Visited this place twice as a canal party of 12. Staff were very welcoming on both occasions. All of our meals were home cooked and of generous portions. Extremely good value for money too. Highly recommended.

We booked the function room for family and friends to celebrate our wedding. Tom, Helen, Michael and all of the staff were 1st class, the mass of food was much more than expected, the pub is a great local, but came up trumps for our bash. Made our evening very special for us and our guests, no hesitation in recommending The Plume.

Had a meal here this evening. Despite the staff having a wedding reception to deal with upstairs, they honoured our booking and all the staff were friendly and warm. Food was good pub grub. Good ales on tap. All in all, a lovely experience.

We have just come back from a canal trip and ate here twice. The food is lovely and home cooked and the management and staff cannot do enough for you. The second time we came was a bit last minute but they welcomed us all (12 in total) . I had the vegetarian lasagne the first time and chicken curry the second and both meals were delicious. The chunky chips were amazing too! Everyone else also enjoyed their meals both times. It also had a play area outside for the kids which kept them happy! Would recommend this place!!

Popped in here for lunch after a visit to the bluebells, couldn't fault the staff, couldn't do enough for you, the food is reasonably priced and it's great to have a burger without the pretensions of the brioche bun, sesame seed is how it's done! Yes! It's great to hear the village is supporting this wonderful friendly pub, wish we lived closer is all I can say.

A few days on a narrowboat with 2 other couples , it soon became apparent that several pubs set a very low bar as trade is constantly passing . Well The Plume of Feathers is the exception , a genuinely friendly pub . The Sunday roasts were in the words of Michael Winner “ memorable” , the mixed grill , excellent value , although not for the faint heated . Made more than welcome by not only the owners , who cooked for us , the bar staff, even the customers were outstanding! Carrying drinks from the bar to our table .

What a lovely village pub. The team that worked here were so friendly and so were the clientele. The menu was not extraordinary, plain simple cooking and it was just what I wanted. I had the fiery chicken wings, ham and cheese smelters and treacle sponge for desert. Great price, great device. I liked this place and I will visit again

Since the new management has taken over the pub is back to being a pleasant village pub with good, reasonably priced pub food. Environment is warm and welcoming and the staff are lovely. Would recommend everyone to give it a go. Certainly worth it!

We stopped in on a hot summer evening, and had food that was tastier and healthier than expected. Service was reasonable despite the staff being somewhat overwhelmed, since we happened in during an open-mic event. And the waitress conjured up ices for us from somewhere -- I don't know where, the local stores were sold out of anything frozen.

I live on a Narrowboat which means I have the luxury of going through Weedon every now and then the Plume has always been a little bit disappointing up until recently the pub is clearly under new management the food is amazing even if you're a vegan there is a vast menu my partner who is gluten-free was able to have a good meal for a change

What a great night we had. Food was excellent. Mark and the staff was friendly and nothing was to much trouble. Would definitely be coming again.

We have been here a few times for Sunday lunch never been disappointed until now. Hope it was a one off. Took an age for the food to arrive, small portions, veg over cooked. It was edible, we all ate it we were hungry. No one in the pub eating, never been like that before. We were not offered a dessert so assume there want any. Shame really. You had the right formula please don’t lose it.

made to feel most unwelcome from the start and just got worse onwards, unhelpful bar staff, totally unenjoyable, will not come back

Really a lucky dip visit for Sunday lunch with the other half and sister-out-law. Having lost confidence in the previous local default venue, it having gone seriously downhill in terms of service and food quality, the backup option still doing acceptable food but ridiculously over priced drinks (it's a dumbed down Premier Inn folks, not Fawsley or Whittlebury).

We regularly visit here for Sunday lunch. Never disappointed with the food. Staff are always fantastic. Will keep coming back

We arrived on a Suturday lunchtime with a group of rugby supporters ahead of a game against Northampton. Overnight there had been a heavy snow fall, two staff were snowed in, another had crashed their car in the jouney into work but still came in since she was the chieif. Other staff had to come in with food and drink as deliveries had not been made. Despite all this they managed to cook all our meals in time for us to get to the game and the food was excellent. Mant thanks for a great effort.

Went here due to the good reviews, steak night was great and the Eton mess was unbelievable. 2 steaks and chops and a bottle of wine for 20 quid, can't go wrong! Locals were nice enough to chat to us too, would definitely visit again!

Arrived with group of friends for lunch. No chefs on duty, landlady cooking and menu “was what she could deal with” we were told.

Had a very nice roast beef Sunday dinner,staff very friendly,and reasonably priced,will be eating here again very soon

Really good service from when we arrived. The landlady looked after us and knew her beers and was able to make a custom sandwich and omelette for 2 of the kids. The menu was simple and we might have wanted more of a choice had it not been for the great vegetarian options and that everything was produced to a better standard than you usually expect but at very reasonable prices. (Sometimes less choice is better!) We had lunch and drinks for less than a tenner per person and everyone enjoyed their meal and commented on what a good place it would be to come back to. Under new management so we will come back and see how they’re getting on... I just hope they keep making chips that good.

Fairly quiet pub with good menu and some meal deals on certain nights. Friendly public’s and the food was nicely cooked and presented. Good on site parking and a garden when weather is nice.

This village pub is super. Interesting interior, spotlessly clean. We were greeted by a lovely friendly lady and seated at a comfortable table and our drinks order taken. As it was Friday we decided on the special Friday cod and chips. The dish was freshly cooked, piping hot, served with homemade tartare sauce.

On a canal holiday with two friends and decided to try out the Plume of Feathers for a meal. We...

Booked a table for 14 of us on a narrow boat holiday and the new tenants were very welcoming. It...

We don't often eat out, but the meal was well cooked and presented with friendly staff, we had burgers which...

New owners have taken over. Very friendly and ensure all are welcome. Great crowd of apparently locals - all friendly, clean and tidy. The whole family enjoyed a great roast meal and we will certainly be coming back again. Well done Pam & family!

Realmente disfrutamos de nuestra visita a este pub. Tiene una buena variedad de cervezas para probar y tiene una gran personalidad. El propietario también era muy alegre y en general, diría que este es un muy buen lugar para tomar una copa si estás en la zona.

He visitado un par de veces para tomar algo y nos pareció que el personal y la gente muy amable. También son muy amables con nuestros perros! El domingo pasado (23 de Abril) el 4 de nosotros fuimos a cenar asado los domingos, que era realmente precioso. La carne y las verduras eran correctas, no exageradas o underdone. Volveremos de nuevo este domingo. No he tenido ninguna de las comidas durante la semana, así que no puedo comentar. Estamos viajando a través de amigos en nuestro conocido por sus y el pub está a sólo un corto paseo desde el canal. El único inconveniente fue el pub estaba cerrado los lunes de 6:00 debido a la escasez de personal, lo cual era un poco molesto.

Fuimos a la pluma de plumas como una decisión de último minuto y quedamos muy contentos con nuestra elección. Dos adultos y un bebé de 7 meses de edad eran muy bien atendido por el personal y la comida era fantástica! Hamburguesa de pollo y cigalas eran deliciosos, volveremos en breve para probar algunos otros platos!

I have not experienced a worse meal during my trip to the UKAvoid this place and the arrogant attitude of the staff

Myself and four friends met up in the Plume of Feathers in Weedon Northampton on Tuesday 6th December for a meal and a few drinks.The selection of beers was excellent, there was a wide choice including five guest beers and lagers, also available was a selection of good quality wines.We ordered our meals from the Christmas menu, the options available included vegitarian, but we chose the Turkey, Beef and fish.The service was first class, the staff including management were polite, very efficient, and went out of their way to make us welcome and comfortable,.Now for the important part, to say the food was good would be an injustice, "IT WAS EXCELLENT".All five of us had a most enjoyable meal, the food was very well prepared and cooked, and the flavours were sumptuous.A massive well done to the entire team, and I know for definite three of our party are booking again.Tom Keyes - Northampton.

Visited this pub last night for the first time and had a lovely drink. The pub has a lovely welcoming atmosphere and seemed very popular with locals. It has a great range of real ales and the service was excellent. We had booked a table at the Indian restaurant in Weedon but the food in the Plume looked great - in hindsight we should have eaten here as the Indain was disappointing. We will return !

Exactly what we wanted very quick and a very personable service, typical pub food on a Sunday, very welcoming and pleasant

Whilst in the area for a wedding had a little drive about for dinner and found this gem!Staff very hospitable drinks were not badly priced and the food - amazing - steak/fish n chips/jacket potato and burger and really decently priced.Would recommend this pub to anyone staying in the area.

Inedible beef, Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes. Changed for chicken and leek pie most of which was left, not nice. Pork so so but again Yorkshire puddings not fresh and dried out. Chicken ok but veg tasteless and over cooked. All in all very disappointing as we have had good meals there previously. Staff very nice, apologetic and didn't charge for one meal but even the beer which my husband said was v good, will not tempt us back.

Visited on a Saturday night and had a lovely evening. Friendly staff. Excellent food. Bill was £30 including x2 alcoholic beverages and x2 generously sized portions from the main menu.We'll definitely be visiting again!

Stopped off here for a dinner with a friend. Staff were warm and welcoming and made me feel at home! Food was delicious - opted for the chilli nachos starter and the meatballs from the specials menu! Both were brilliant - Joseph (the chef) did himself proud! Left with a big smile and a full belly! Would definately reccomend and would definately return!

Popped in for the first time as we were out walking the dog. Lovely spacious outdoor area for eating and drinking with play area for kids. Dog friendly as they gave us a bowl of water.Decided to have lunch. Menu was pub food but nice selection. Good sized lunch plates with nicely cooked food served by very pleasant and friendly staff. I would have no issues visiting again soon

We stopped off at the Plume and Feather for Dinner, there was not a great choice of ale, but the meal we had was good value and well presented . Staff were friendly , it is a bit of a walk from the canal , but is a better choice than the Heart of England, worth a try

The Plume of Feathers is a good stop for food and drink if mooring up on the Grand Union Canal in Weedon. The menu offered variety and the food was of good quality. The Everards' beer was in good condition, just a pity there were no guest beers to choose from.

Had a couple of really nice coffees , in fact better than most of the so called coffee joints that rip you off for a flavoured cup of froth . Staff were friendly, had a very light Lunch , but very nice . It was a humble omelette of cheese and tomato that was cooked as it should be , moist and tasty . The prices here are quite unreal , fab value for money . Anyone whom is in the area should pop in . I certainly will if in the area again , a gem of a find . X

We called here on a Sunday and were told they only did roast dinners on Sunday. Hooray just what we were looking for. Lovely meal with plenty of roast potatoes and fresh vegetables. The service was extremely good and friendly and we will definitely visit again. Perhaps in the week next time.

Beautiful pub, great welcome for out group who included two very young children. Menu was really inventive and lived up to high expectations. The beer was excellent and the pub and its regulars were really friendly and made us welcome. We will try to return.

We stopped here on out canal boat holiday. What a lovely pub. Very welcoming and delicious food. Connor in particular made us laugh and provided excellent attentive service. Would recommend.

What a friendly and clean establishment this is, menu selection and Specials board offers a wide variety to suit most tastes. Our meal was first class, service was prompt, and staff very polite. A really good selection of beers and ales.

Tucked away in Weedon Bec, the Plume of Feathers is an Everards pub serving two real ales. The attached restaurant, with daily specials, serves excellent pub food. The homemade steak, ale and mushroom pie is recommended. Friendly efficient service. Check opening hours though - we turned up on a Monday lunchtime to find the pub firmly closed, so returned Tuesday evening.

We ordered two roast chicken dinners and when we cut into the chicken, blood came out and they were completely raw in the middle. The vegetables didn't look very fresh either, the broccoli was yellow. At least they refunded the cost of the roast dinner.

For a village pub this establishment does very well to cater for all tastes. Plenty of parking and a beer garden with swings.

Visited today with 6 friends and 9 children between us and just cannot fault this lovely place. Several of us also ordered off menu which was catered for perfectly and seemed of no inconvenience to the staff who were more that happy to help. The food came in good time & all arrived together, it was all cooked beautifully by the Chef. The children enjoyed their meals, which were great sized portions with a free ice lolly/ice cream too! Play area outside is great for occupying the children, we will definitely be returning. Thanks for having us!!

What a wonderful find, we went there on the off-chance and were stunned to find a lovely pub, the staff were so friendly, the food was superb (and the beer was great too), We will most certainly be eating there again (hopefully in the not too distant future).Cant recommend it enough, thanks Kath for the beer clips

Very convenient, dog friendly, good food, great staff. Very nicely done out. Will be calling again soon.

We were on a canal boat and moored nearby, having often been into a chain pub nearby we were absolutely amazed to find the Plume of Feathers. Being a Friday night we decided to book a table, the food was excellent and the cost was amazing. Best of all for me was the beer, a good selection and obviously well looked after. The Plumeof Feathers is so clearly a local, warm and friendly, the barman was helpful with his description of the beers.My wife having a difference for meat found the sea bass to her delight, a relatively small menu, but there is always a comprehensive specials board. We will return.

We were on a canal boat and had stopped at Weedon for the night. We chose the Plume of Feathers as it was the nearest one to our boat. What a find!The beer is good, well kept with a choice of real ales. The food is even better. My wife has a couple of unusual food allergies. Normally we ask what dishes are safe for her and choose from what is available. At the Plume of Feathers the chef came out to speak to us and offered to make an individual version of something that my wife had liked the sound of.The food itself was really good, well presented and at a very reasonable price. It wouldn't have been out of place at a 5* hotel.The experience was so pleasant that we arranged our timings to stop there again on the return journey. It was just as good. Unfortunately we live a couple of hundred miles away or this would become a regular eating place.

Went with a group of 11. Service was good and food excellent value for money. They offered plenty of gluten free options for me.My only little niggle is that my meal came with Nachos and when I enquiried they said contained gluten so had to be removed. Nachos are corn based they are often (but not always) gluten free?A general comment - I do find that restaurants say Nachos and other products like popadoms contain gluten when yes they contain floor but not wheat floor but either corn floor and rice floor. I've been known to request sight of packaging to check myself but did not do so in this restaurant.

The chef in this pub is wonderful, I have been here several times now, for lunch and dinner, and the food has always been cooked to perfection every time, and the flavours always spot on.The menu has a really good variety of things to choose from, and the value for money is amazing, they could easily charge more for the quality food they are serving.Much more than your average pub grub, definitely well worth a visit.The pub has a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere, with immaculate decor, all the staff, and locals are very friendly. They also have a wonderful play area outside for kids, which is perfect for the summer.For me it is all about the food though, which I would eat all day everyday if I could, it is top class quality food, cooked perfectly. If you eat here you will have a delicious meal at fantastic value, you can't go wrong.

It was my misfortune to pop in for lunch. Place was very quiet!Ordered chicken Caesar salad and a drink. Having eaten there before and usually opting for a jacket potato, I thought I would give the salad a go.It arrived in a small pudding bowl. Chopped up lettuce, not cos, 2 croutons and 4 pieces of chicken. No dressing whatsoever!It was no bigger than the side salad served with the jackets!£5.00 !!!!I popped to the local village supermarket after to buy a sandwich!!Shocking waste of money and my time. Will I recommended friends to visit....no.

Local so eat there a lot great food, great atmosphere. you've got to try the steak i like mine with Garlic thanks Gav

had a lovely meal in this pub. everything was well cooked and delicious. everyone else seemed to be enjoying the food too. best chips by far in a long time

Trip to Weedon for the Bramble Patch then, in need of lunch for four. Three all day breakfasts and one liver and onions later well satisfied. All the food was well prepared with good quality ingredients and excellent value for money.The waitress was very polite and happy to chat.The atmosphere and cleanliness was very good and shall have no problem where to go next time.

I took my mum out for a meal here and would highly recommend it to anyone. The menu had lots of choice and the food was really good quality, could not fault it at all. All the staff were really friendly, service was quick and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu! Hats off to the chef!! :)

We have had Sunday lunch here and could not fault it. There was more than plenty on the plate and we had so much meat we asked for a doggy bag for which our dog was very grateful. The only surprise was that they didn't have tomato juice or ginger ale. A party of us went last week and there was a reasonable choice and plenty of it. 2 of our group asked for a sandwich on brown bread but when it arrived it was on sliced white bread and when we said we asked for brown bread, we were told they hadn't got any. (there is a shop across the road). Also, one of our party asked for tea and this was served in a cup with a tea bag in it so surprised it didn't come in a small teapot. Small things like this spoil what would be a 5 star review.

Visite with friends for lunch whilst in the area. Reasonable selection, well cooked & presented. good value.

Eaten here several times now, can't fault it. Never had a bad meal always plenty on the plate and the specials board is worth a look, food is packed with flavour and the Sunday lunch is very popular, after trying it i can see why. Traditional village pub, lots of guest ales. Favourite is tiger from the hand pump. The landlady also allows pet in the tiled areas.

Had Sunday lunch was served lukewarm, asked politely if my lunch could be changed, came back limp Yorkshire curled dried meat so once again asked the chef who just said well we haven't had a complaint in over a month , not sorry I will make sure it is sorted. Finally got my lunch my friend had already eaten some of his as he is not a lover of gravy so left it, on the plus side when my meal arrived the plate and food was lovely and hot on the downside would like the veg and gravy to be separated so the customer has the choice.

Called in today for lunch with friends, Lunchtime snacks all £5,00 or 2 for £9,00 so reasonable,We had ham egg and chips and it was of good standard for the price, have to say the chips were very nice.Will pop in again for lunch.

What a really nice, pleasant establishment this is, excellent garden facilities, the staff I saw are all exceptionally friendly, and the beer and food is superb. Sunday lunch was of a very good standard, and plenty on the plate without being charged over the top. Overall brilliant experience.

Have been here lots of times now since moving to Weedon 12 months ago. It's a great place to have as your local always good service and great fresh food. Well done everyone keep it up!

Fantastic Sunday lunch they even catered for my father 82 with swallowing difficulties the landlady and staff are very welcoming and friendly food was really lovely the do a cheese board which is a cheese lovers dream

A nice village pub which has been revamped recently, came recommended so we tried it on Sunday. Only food served on a Sunday is pork or beef Sunday lunch served 12 - 4pm, but was very nice!Friendly staff, friendly locals and a choice or real ales - Perfect! Made a nice change from the 'ping' meals served on the hill, just a shame about the 'head banging' background music - hardly music to eat by!!Good size car park, with garden and kids play area and smoking shelter.

We enjoyed a very good evening meal here recently. We found the food to be of good quality, nicely cooked and value for money. The staff were friendly, helpful and willing to adapt one of the dishes on the menu for me.

Recently relocated to Weedon and have visited the Plume of feathers several times both for just a pint and had lunch.I really enjoy having a pint as good selection of live ales.I tend to pop in while taking the dog for a walk.There are some characters at the pub which makes it amusing it's great.Food on Sunday really hearty roast can't fault.Plenty of grounds outside with kids play area and seating a good family setting.

We are regular visitors to this fantastic pub and have never been let down. Great food at a bargain price I wonder how they make any money! On a serious note if your in the area pop in for lunch or dinner and you will not be disappointed. Very professional staff that make you feel so welcome, we are new to the village but since going to the pub feel like we have lived here for years. All freshly home cooked food and no smash in sight!

Superb pub ! Excellent ales, friendly staff and fantastic food at a bargain price. A previous reviewer stated the mash was instant smash ! I had the pie of the day with mash and seasonal vegetables which were all cooked to perfection......some of the best mashed potatoes I have tasted :) If you are in the area pay a visit. Highly recommended !

Great place for lunch or nice relaxed dinner. Lovely staff, good fresh cooked food. The "Plume" burger and ham, eggs and chips are lush.

Dont visit - they used smash instead of mash!! Had sausage and mash and partner had pasta. My sausages were under cooked and the mash was not good. Partner pasta tasted like it had a jar of dolmio poured over it

Frequent this pub quite often usually for lunch with the girls .Excellent food, new refurbishment, good attentive staff. Good value. Try their sunday lunches excellent .

Eaten here now for a Sunday roast and the lunch menu after recent refurbishment. Both times we have been here the staff have been really attentive and helpful even when busy. Fantastic home cooked roast and can highly recommend the home made chilli and Ham, egg and chips. Great friendly service and reasonable prices. Will be back again. Thank you plume

After a lovely but muddy walk along the canal this was just what we needed. Tasty well pulled beer, service with a smile and delicious fish and chips. Good price and pleasant decor. Great stuff.

The Plume of Feathers used to be just a small village pub with little character. Since being taken over by Everards and gong through a refurbishment, the food - Quality, presentation and prices are fantastic.The place is friendly with character and well worth a visit, also the outside area is ideal for families.
