Plume of Feathers in East Hertfordshire

I had the most amazing tomato, halloumi and pesto salad tonight, so flavoursome and beautifully presented. Would go back just for that! Was with a large group and everyone had lovely dishes and the service was excellent. The care taken over allergies was exceptional. Beautiful location and the building historic with a fantastic atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Love the atmosphere, but the food could be improved.

Lovely pub! Come here with my family and we all had a lovely time sitting in the garden enjoying our food and drinks. The kids had fun as their is a play ground for them to keep occupied and the staff are so attentive! Highly recommend 👌

Great pub really enjoyed it thank you

Great time here, all very welcoming! Food was great

Alison and I met friends at the Plume last night where we stayed for a very lovely dinner. The food was excellent including a delicious burger, which makes a great change not to get an overcooked dry one these days! Our waitress Stephany, was excellent. Will definitely return.

Absolutely love it here, staff are amazing, food is lovely and such a lovely atmosphere

me and my family went to the plume for a Sunday munch having heard about the place from a few friends, it was amazing and had a lovely Sunday roast in the garden would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely meal at The Plume of feathers for my mums 90th birthday. The food was lovely, the staff were friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable. We would highly recommend eating here. They are a dog friendly pub which was important to us as a family. Thank you for making mum’s birthday dinner a success.

Came for lunch to celebrate a birthday. Food was lovely, staff were very friendly and attentive! Will be returning for sure!

Lovely pub, not too busy at lunch time we was lovely and quick. Once finished our meals we had a few drinks and a great interaction with the manager. Very pleasant and will be returning again.

Chloe served my family and I, she was lovely, helpful with deciding what to have when we were undecided by giving us her honest and personal opinion. The food came quick and all of us found them delicious, the cheesy garlic bread was the best we’ve ever had.

Served by Jed and Mark, excellent service, food was amazing, staff were friendly, environment was stunning ! Would recommend to everyone as unforgettable experience every time we have gone.

Nice pub atmosphere, great choice of food and drink. Service was brilliant.

Lovely Sunday roast- our family group of 18 were really looked after by Steph and her team. Perfect spot for birthday celebrations. Thank you!

Had an amazing dinner. Mark had excellent service and brought a new level of satisfaction.

Amazing family friendly pub friendly staff

Stopped by after a while to get another great meal, was greeted by Jed at the bar, service was exceptional as always. Had a great evening here :)

Really lovely meal. Excellent service. Friendly staff. Good vibe. Thank you.

Lovely atmosphere with nice food. Overall it was a great experience and I will be back! Jed was very attentive and gave a top noch service!

Jed was brilliant, fantastic service and fantastic food! Would defiantly recommend!

Went for a valentines lunch with the family was served by a lovely lady called Chloe table service was very quick the food was cooked perfectly very family friendly pub definitely be coming back again

Lovely valentines meal here tonight. Food and staff make this a very welcoming venue. Mark and Chloe make this such a nice pub now. Big shout out to Jed behind the bar for looking after us so well as usual

The welcome was made very noticeable! Mark and the team were very attentive and jed was available for the bar service. Good food and drinks was experienced and a local restaurant and bar shall be returned to.

We were served by Jed and Stacey, and had a lovely time. Really enjoyed the cheesecake, will come again!

Went down to watch rugby usual attentive service from Jed with an almost telepathic communication on drinks service..aways pleasure to visit this pub !

Lovely pub, great staff and great drinks

Great location, Good pub, Okay food. Came to watch the football. Jed and Mark were on great laugh with them. Overall a good pub.

Come here with my family and friends and I highly recommend coming here for some food and drinks! The food is delicious and the service is amazing! Thank you to Chloe and mark for helping us this evening!

Lovely pub, great staff came for a bite to eat and a drink end up having a few as I was upsold a fizz Friday deal.

I nearly choked at the price of one and a half pints of shandy, 1 pint of Abbott with a bag of crisps (£14+) but I don't go out that often and was told this wasn't a bad price nowadays! Apparently, it's even cheaper on Mondays 😀

Great pub! Come down with my pals and I had the chicken schnitzel and it was cooked perfectly! The staff were very friendly and helpful! Would highly recommend

This has become our new regular weekly as our local Green King became a Chef & Brewer and we did not like the new menu there. Really pleased we found this one. Staff are friendly and always remember our order now. Food is good and well priced. They have a gorgeous beer garden too. Perfect for kids and dog friendly. Don’t hesitate to visit!

It’s fair to say that the first time I came here I really enjoyed my night however on our return found the whole experience very disappointing. Food portions sizes were ridiculously small, a portion of peas were 12 peas, I counted them out of disbelief! It was very quiet in the pub and restaurant ( max of 20 people throughout) but yet we waited 55 minutes for our mains to come out and then had to go and ask if we could order deserts. The female manager was quite rude and abrupt at times. The only saving grace were the young lads who served us who were super polite and helpful and the only reason for the three stars.

Amazing pub! Great food and drink! Service was amazing!

Great pub with a great vibe. Good range of beers on taps. Will be back

Went to the Plume on New Years Eve after several years abstinence due to a general turndown in quality and service. We were so glad we reversed our decision. The service, food and atmosphere was back to years ago when people flocked there. Now we know how good it is we will booking regularly again.

Lovely countryside pub, perfect for drink after a lovely walk. Great service and great food

We had a great time visiting Santa for breakfast. The team made a real effort to make it special for the kids. Well done 👍🏻

I would like to say a big Thankyou to Liam , for his excellence outstanding service Thankyou very much for making our daytime meal a great one

My 3 friends very much enjoyed their meals and the service was very good. However, there was nothing enjoyable or notable about my festive choice. Starter about 4 prawns on lettuce leaves with some mayo. The mushroom bourginon dry pastry heavy and not a particularly enjoyable taste with average vegetables. The cheesecake was bland. Just in reply to your response, I have been twice in the past over last couple years for roast dinner and it was very average. This is not a good foody pub - just heated up food. A reminder why I prefer my own food. To be honest two mushroom pasties from Lidls were much tastier.

Jed pours the best guinness I've had since Ireland. 10/10

Beautiful pub, lovely service and a relaxed environment. Couldn't ask for more in a village bar. The new management are equally as friendly as the last and made me feel as welcome as I ever had as a local

Katsu curry was amazing, Jedd was an amazing and the drink selection is fantastic

Family meet up. Food was perfect, cooked well and tasted amazing. Portion size great however experience let down by the staffs attitudes. A shame.

We visited today for a work Christmas lunch Great food at reasonable price and friendly and fast service! Lovely local pub

The staff were all absolutely first class, particularly the lady manager and the barman. We had the Festive Fayre meal for 9 and the staff they were very accommodating in dealing with several last-minute changes due to 3 people dropping out and 2 new people coming, plus some late menu selection changes. The food was excellent, with good sized portions and well presented. The barman was also very helpful and cheerful. Highly recommended.

Warm welcome on arrival from Liam who showed us to our table. All people in our group enjoyed their food. Food arrived hot and no long wait. Will return in the new year to enjoy another lunch. Date of visit 4 December, lunchtime. Thanks again mac

Lovely little pub. Mark and Chloe have made a lovely impact on the place. Kumar and Aimee are great staff as well and always a pleasure to see

Not the best food for the cost very slow coming out for a set menu, when it did arrive it was cold we got board waiting to pay so went up to the bar so we could leave. Would not go back or recommend

We enjoyed our meal at the Plume.

Chloe was a brilliant host for our Xmas meal. Thank you

Nice looking pub and menu but.... We arrived about 7 pm and there was no light in the car park. I actually thought an axe murder was going to jump out any minute. I braved the walk to the door using my phone's torch, and I thought that the pub looked lovely. We were greated by two very smilie servers that also took our order. Things went wrong from there. I ordered the grilled salmon with a side of vegetables but was presented with fishcakes on a bed of rocket. When I said that this is not what I ordered, the plate was slammed in front of me, and I was told that this what they had. I smiled and said that this was not what I wanted, but I was told that this is the only salmon they had. I said that this might be the case but I did not want it. I was begrudgingly allowed to order something else but by the time my dinner came, my friend had already finished hers. No apology or compensation given. Will not be returning

Disappointing roast at the Plume of feathers today I think a 3 is generous. Received one and a half slices of overcooked beef, raw parsnips, the potatoes barley saw the oven and broccoli wasn't cooked either. The whole plate was luke warm at best and the gravy was far from plentiful. The one positive was the cauliflower cheese. We were not table checked however there only seemed to be one member of staff who didn't stop. We went elsewhere for dessert and wouldn't return.

Had amazing lunch great service great people everyone really friendly.

Came here for a family meal 12 of us in total 2 of which are celiac and we're pleasantly surprised by the choices available and that the lady serving us knew the severity of the disease and looked after them. We will all be returning for our christmas family get together.

Had a lovely visit, like always! Chloe and Stacey are so welcoming. Look forward to returning again soon.

Great experience, Great Staff and Great food. Can’t fault them at all. Highly recommend the Katsu Curry, delicious!!!

Me and my partner were just having a walk around tewin and come across this lovely pub! We started to get hungry and needed a bite! We come in and was welcome by a very lovely lady and she sat us at a table and help us with the order.

An all around good pub. Nice burgers. The dark haired bloke behind the bar was good too. Quick and good to talk to. Definitely coming again.

Came in for something to eat after watching some firework's, was greeted by a very friendly lady who introduced herself to us Stacey, who explained there was a band practicing tonight so could get a bit loud, we really enjoyed listening to them play some old classics! Food was lovely and the young lad who served us was very polite. Will definitely be returning soon!

Having recently moved to the area, we decided to try this local pub for lunch. Nice pub lunch, although slightly long wait for drinks. Nice food and pleasant atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Cutlery was dirty, Staff weren’t all that friendly and the food left a lot to be desired. Meat in the lasagne was vile and with a tiny 2 layers overall I was left hungry. Side portion of chips were cold, small and bottom of the barrel. After looking forward to a nice pub dinner we were deeply disappointed

Been plume 3 times while working in welyn great food great service good selection of drinks fantastic views from the garden highly recommended.

Wow what a difference! We had almost given up with this pub as the service was dire. Under new management now and you can certainly tell. We were really looked after (my elderly mother and myself). New menu too which was lovely. Food has always been nice and the location is handy for us plus it's disabled/wheelchair friendly. Definitely deserves five stars now 😊

***response to the reply… not sure what else I can say, perhaps better organisation so things don’t get forgotten?*** They let me keep a homemade cake behind the counter whilst we did a dog walk. Friendly and happy to help. However the service wasn’t great - they forgot one meal and we had to ask for some of the accompaniments that were listed on the menu as part of the meal as they were forgotten for 3 out of 4 meals. The atmosphere and the surroundings were nice. Dog friendly.

Great beer garden. Decent selection of beers. Only had roast dinner there (on previous occasion) and it was nice

LOVELY PUB LOVELY VIEWS ATMOSPHERE A BIT DEAD

We had my sons 2nd Birthday and Moms 75 om Saturday. The Pub and Team bent over backwards for us. Superb food, Outstanding Service, guests all rated and commented positively. WOW what a great experience. WE WILL GO BACK

Absolutely INCREDIBLE.. great pub.. team outstanding, food Delicious, vibe festive what an amazing time spent om Saturday Hosted 2 parties 🥳 there and the team was flawless

Food was fantastic, service was amazing, it has amazing views and makes it an overall lovely place to meet up with family and friends x

Me and the better half came for a meal tonight and were extremely impressed with everything, the food was great (Nachos sharer highly recommend) and the atmosphere was chilled and relaxing like you would want in a village pub. Staff were very helpful. All in all I would recommend the pub to anyone reading this review 👍🏻 and get the nachos sharer 🤣

We had a lovely meal last night. The new menu is great. The mixed grill was huge. The lamb shank was cooked to perfection, falling off the bone. The kids also enjoyed their food. All staff are friendly and inviting, nothing was too much trouble. Can't wait for our next visit!

Great food and lovely staff thank you again.

Beautiful pub with probably the best beer garden in hertfordshire. Dog friendly as well.

Never been here before, but me and a couple of friends went. It was pretty busy but the bar man (Ted?) managed to serve everyone quickly, and have good conversations with customers at the same time.

Enjoyable meal, food well prepared and presented. Staff attentive and welcoming. However, I chose the venue for a family dinner based on the menu shown on their website only to find that 40% of the meals had been taken off.

Awesome experience. Great pints, and a dartboard!!!! The staff were lovely and warm and the place was buzzing. Wish them all the best under new management.

Fantastic pints. Lovely staff. New dart board with adds to the atmosphere. They are soon changing the menu which will revolutionise the pub!!

Spectacular today from Joe he really brought a new level to service! The atmosphere was outstanding and the food was great coupled with a deal of £2 a fosters which goes without saying.

Absolutely shambles. Not a lot on the menu. Booked for 16:30 and didn’t get food until 18:45. Barely any food left on the menu. No roast dinner available. It has gone down hill over the last past 4 years. Birthday meal ruined Won’t be returning until it’s back to its former glory days.

Typically only pop in for a few pints. Green King is usually pretty well kept. Monday half price happy hour....

Great views and lovely staff. Traditional old village pub.

This pub was nice. I came here with my dad and we got some pretty good food. The service was also impeccable. The guy behind the bar was very efficient (Jed). I will certainly be back.

Food was delightful. Would definitely recommend.

Oh dear oh dear such a shame of how this use to be.small servings,dead plants,shabby furniture outside,above average prices,misty glasses etc.lots of staff and toilets naff. Affluent area needs it back of old! Won't drive there again for a long time and told friends.

We came here for a meal for my son’s 16th Birthday (his choice), 8 of us in total. We were sat in an area away from everyone, it was really nice as we didn’t have to raise voices to be heard when chatting to each other!!! The drinks order was taken and within 5 minutes had returned with them where they took the order from our starters and main meals. Starters came out quickly and were lovely, everyone cleared their plates. The main dinners came out almost straight away too, my partner and myself had steak, have to say it’s one of the best steaks that I’ve had in years, perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Everyone loved their meals even my daughter she said it was the best Hunters Chicken she had ever had out too! We had puddings and coffee to finish. All in all it was a lovely meal, from the quickness of taking the drinks order and the meal orders to them being place on the table. Nothing was too much trouble especially when we asked for some extra sauces. So thank you The Plume of Feathers, we are looking forward to coming back very soon xx

We were recommend this place to come and eat. Sadly, we waited over 45 minutes for our food and watched other people come in after us, and get served their food before us. One couple had finished their food before we got ours. The burger that we received was dry and the cheese and bacon on it were cooked beyond unreasonable. It looked like it had been left under a hot light, way too long. The place wasn't even busy, with only 4 tables with customers on. The staff spent most of the time, that we were there in the kitchen and not in the restaurant and not speaking(unless customers had to shout for help)to customers not until we were ready to go.

Lovely beer garden and friendly staff.

Food was nicely presented. Went with the 3 courses for £30 menu - bit limited. Ham hock was a little too salty.

Popped into my local with friends on day of Tewin car show...expected it to be busy and long wait,however pleasantly surprised as bar well serviced and most importantly acknowledged by bar staff on arrival ..the wait was negligible. Thankyou Jed exceptional service to your locals

Came here for my birthday meal with my children and it was a very delightful experience! Thank you for the excellent service from Jed and Chloe and thank you to the kitchen for the amazing birthday meal! 😊 we will definitely be visiting the plume again!

We had a great Sunday roast. It was a very busy and warm Sunday, the staff advised the food wait is 45min, I don't think it was that long, but if it was we sure enjoyed the drinks and the view to not feel the long wait. The playground is great for young kids. We sure enjoyed everything and the location and views on sunny days are just amazing.

Waited 40min for food which was very poorly presented, ordered hunters chicken with chips, onion rings & a salad dressing. Also ordered Mac 'n' Cheese Served with a fresh, lightly dressed salad. Food looked very bland,Salad was practically non existent with moldy tomato. Won't be going back there.

great grub (not cheap), even food for the dognap plenty of water. the biggest pub garden ever with lots of tables and good beer

The company we were with was great we went to sit at a table it had split beer over it asked if it could be wiped down as we sat there but that never happens which with COVID still around it should have been requested this twice nothing happened also in the restaurant while eating a big black dog was wandering round the table not very good

I just had a hunter chicken and a whole chicken is way to chewy and I can't eat it

Had a great meal with my family and it was such lovely atmosphere and garden! Jed and Poppy served us and they were both lovely with great service!

Thought we'd try this pub again after not having been for quite a while. The service and food was a bit hit and miss. The staff weren't very attentive. Looks like I won't be back for quite a while again.
