Plume Of Feathers Crondall in Hart

Tried this pub for the first time for a meal, the occasion was my daughters birthday. Menu is limited especially for vegetarian. We had some bar snacks for a starter as did not fancy anything in the menu. After waiting over an hour (1 hour 15 minutes from point of order) we checked on the food and they had not even started it. Due to sickness they only had one person in the kitchen. I have worked in pubs and restaurants myself and would never have treated a customer this way. Not their fault but If they had been honest and upfront when we arrived we would have gone elsewhere to celebrate rather than sat there waiting for food never to arrive. They gave us the bar snacks free and said sorry come again. I will never do that. We were now very hungry, went to Ballerz, which is not a restaurant as it’s main business, ordered burgers which arrived 10 minutes and were delicious.

This is definitely a place you want to visit!! From the country village vibe, to the friendly staff, to the great beers and wine selection.... oh my god... then when you think it can't be improved... you have dinner... wow, just wow!! Been back so many times I've tried the entire menu and the bar snacks... can't find fault in any of them. I do think they under play the burger though... it just looks like a burger on the menu.. but when you bite into it.... i need to know the secret!! It is amazing! Do yourself a favour and try this place!! All prices are really fair too, considering what you get!!

Great food lovely lovely people

Epic breakfast served 😎 highly recommend. Lovely environment. Friendly owners and staff.

Four of us had dinner in the evening. Friendly waitress, good menu and food very good but no heating on in the dining room in March, so I ate in my coat and scarf. My friend wrapped herself in her shawl.. Background music turned up during dessert so conversation a bit harder, and we left without coffee.

A great meal out and will definitely recommend

During our visit, we felt unwelcome as regulars had almost blocked the bar and we had to ask them to move to get a table. Staff friendly...

Beautiful Pub and Rooms, Food was amazing, ate the small plates menu for lunch, plume burger for tea, and then a freshly cooked breakfast. Rooms are small and very cosy, but fantastic to stay in as really homely! Will stay again if we are in the area again!

What a brilliant pub and overnight stay We were here for two nights and really enjoyed our stay here The pub had 3 rooms in the converted stables and the room had everything you would need comfortable bed nice and warm and a spacious en suite The pub is a tradional locals pub with a good selection of meal options and the owners of this Tudor hostel Gaz and Emma were the best hosts you could wish for nothing was too much trouble and all the staff were excellent Food was lovely and they have a good selection of craft and keg beers with the added bonus of being dog friendly If you need to stay in this little corner of Hampshire I can recommend you stay here in this gorgeous village of Crondall Can’t wait to come back again

Stumbled across this little gem of a pub whilst travelling for work. Decided to stop of for dinner and it was absolutely fantastic meal and excellent value for money. Staff and regulars were very welcoming and friendly and will definetly be back to try some more off the menu if in the area again.

Great night out with friends for the World Cup final, awesome evening at the Plume yet again, brilliant banter, generous hospitality and over all a win win for every one.

Possibly the best Fish Pie I have eaten, a large piece of fish in every mouthful, hubby had the beer battered fish, again top marks. Very welcoming, lovely village. I believe the pub has rooms, but we were only traveling through, would definitely return.

We stayed for the night en route to the New Forest. Room was comfy and a good use of space. Staff were all friendly and check in and out was really easy. We had dinner in the pub and the food was decent quality and service was good. Overall, this was a pleasant village pub.

A warm welcome was received on arrival, friendly environment,Gammon was my food of choice , Friends choosing the burgers, all food was delicious and cooked to perfection,Four Clean plates was the result. Return visits will be placed into our diaries. Thanks to the owners /management and Staff for a great evening

Fantastic food with a friendly service Would recommend a visit We ate smoked ham hock terrine and pork bites to start Pie and the burger 🍔 for main course but sadly no room for dessert that also looked delicious New owners Emma and Gaz are welcoming attentive and friendly Thank you for a lovely evening 😊

Visited here for lunch with my family and dogs and I can honestly say we had the best afternoon. Lunch was amazing, drinks were great, staff did everything they could to make sure our visit was enjoyable including bringing some treats over for our dogs! Loved the local produce used for the food which I can only say was delicious. We will definitely be returning, this time spending some time in their rooms!

Superb little pub/B&B in the historic village of Crondall. Good selection of Ales, wines and a Menu to suit all. New owners who are dog friendly, always about for a chat and say hello. Gaz and Emma have transformed a sleepy restaurant Inn into a vibrant busy friendly pub/B&B that does food all day, open all day, ample parking and dog friendly...a proper country pub, log fire, friendly bar staff set in a beautiful quaint little country village just of the M3 Jct 5.

Waited 2hrs 30mins for food and when it arrived it was all burnt/over cooked I can honestly say this was the worst meal we have ever had. No apologies for the wait but the new owners did apologise for the bad food. I would not recommend eating here and will not be going again for food.

Went with the family for Sunday dinner, had the roast and wasn't disappointed. Roast beef and gammon was delicious. The teens had the sausage and mash, the shepherd's pie went down a storm. Puddings were fantastic and very yummy. Husband commented it was the best sticky toffee pudding he's had. All the portions were very generous, and we will definitely be going back. I look forward to warmer weather to use the gardens.

Emma, the new manager, introduced herself and made us welcome as soon as we arrived and told us that the menu was almost entirely locally sourced and homemade. We enjoyed three very reasonably priced courses and will certainly be returning. The favourite dishes in our party were the sausages and mash and the shepherds pie which were both very comforting on a cold wet day! All of the puddings went down a storm too - sticky toffee pudding, rhubarb, apple and berry crumble and chocolate brownie with a choice of ice cream or custard. The staff were attentive but not overbearing which added to a very nice lunch with the family. I’m looking forward to trying the Sunday lunch very soon. I wish I had photos to add but we were so keen to tuck in, we forgot to take any!

Stayed here overnight on our way down to Brighton for the weekend. New owners had just taken over so no food in the evening but the pub is awesome and had a great “Hampshire pub” atmosphere! The room was small, but clean and warm. The shower could definitely do with some attention but was adequate. Got a good night’s sleep, which is the main thing! Breakfast in the morning was amazing; full english/juice/toast/coffee/tea etc. all served on time. Very friendly hosts / staff. Wouldn’t hesitate to stop there again!

Lovely pub, friendly staff, I gave four stars instead of five as there appeared to be only one vegetarian option on the menu which limited my choice to one . Also we wanted a coffee but the coffee machine was broken and we weren't offered any alternative .

We stayed for 2 nights for a wedding in the area in July. We knew we would potentially be arriving after 11pm so called ahead the day prior. The guy I spoke to was very helpful and told us how to access our room. He also gave a useful bit of advice on how to get there from London as well as a taxi number to use. Overall the pub gives lovely traditional village vibes and the food was good for lunch. The staff who worked there were nice as well. The accommodation was simple & small but all we needed - only downside was there were quite a few dark curly hairs in the shower that needed hosed away and it could do with a new kettle. Overall would say it is good value for money.

Stumbled across this lovely pub whilst out on a walk with friends and our dog around the Crondall area. We were welcomed by a very friendly team of staff who nothing seemed too much trouble for. We sat in the outside area at the back which was lovely and quiet. The Sunday roast that we all had was fab. The lady who brought us our food was so friendly we chatted to her for ages about the pub, her dog, our dog etc which was lovely. We had so much food that we couldn’t finish it all but it felt criminal to leave behind the cauliflower cheese that was so good so the lady kindly packaged it up and gave it to us as we left to take with us which we thought was a lovely gesture. Social distancing and Covid regualtaions are all set up well, it felt very safe using all the facilities inside such as toilets and ordering drinks from the bar etc. This pubs offers a really quality service and one of the best Sunday lunches we have had in a long time.Thank you Plume of Feathers Team we will definitely be back to see you again!

A lovely place to chill with family or friends in the restaurant or in the bar. The food is prepared to order so grab a drink, sit back and relax.Interesting menue choices for all palates and then specials on the wall.Going AGAIN tonight with a mate.

We brought our choir to sing in Crondall for the weekend recently and arranged a group meal. Julian the boss, could not have been more helpful throughout, from first meeting to the end of the weekend. His staff also were delightful, very friendly, and so efficient. Everyone was impressed with the quality of the meal, and the speed at which it was served - not easy, when there were several meal choices to serve. Many of us returned for lunches and were equally impressed. A few stayed in the pub for the weekend and gave similar good reports. This is how a pub should be run - it was buzzing! Thank you Julian and the team.

We went mid day had a fantastic lunch so decided to pop in one evening for a meal food was so nice ,really enjoyed it service superb .

I’ve enjoyed visiting the Plume many times over the years. Unfortunately the food today wasn’t great. The steak and kidney pie was short on meat and heavy on pastry, dry and unappetizing. The chips were enormous and bland. It was Monday lunchtime, maybe just a bad time?

We stayed her last weekend in Room 2 which is at the back of the pub in what appeared to be renovated stables. First impressions, it was small and cosy but had everything we needed for a two night break. The bed was comfortable, there was a small screen TV, tea & coffee making facilities and the size of the shower room was more than adequate. There are no windows here, there is a small skylight which was brilliant as it let in cooling air on a hot weekend. In fact the whole room was cool and a welcome relief from the outside heat. Although there are no windows the main door opens out onto a courtyard and you can take your tea/coffee outside as there are plenty of tables. We thought it might be busy & noisy, being a pub, but in fact it was the opposite, very peaceful and relaxing. We didn't have the breakfast in the pub ( can't always face a cooked breakfast ) . We did have an excellent Plume cheese burger meal with huge salad and chips ( which is one reason we didn't want breakfast, simply too full from the previous evening meal). The owners here are brilliant, very helpful and welcoming. We were up for a wedding locally but I would love to revisit and stay here again as the village of Crondall is simply breathtaking, a typical olde world English village. People here are very friendly. Parking on the street can be an issue but as we parked our car in the pub car park we were fine.To sum up, we loved it here. Can we come again please?

I need to be dairy free and I was easily accommodated here the menu is wide and varied for normal dietary requirements.. It's a proper local pub.

This is a pleasant Village pub with accommodation and a good pub menu. It is well used by the locals and has parking at the rear for quite a lot of vehicles. On the busy Sunday lunch we visited the parking was full but there is also street parking nearby. Four of us had reserved a table and the greeting was friendly and the drink and food orders taken quickly. There is a reasonable selection of beer and wines.It took nearly an hour to get our starters and there was not any real explanation or apology for this. The meals were mostly very good, especially good was the steak. The Roast beef was very dry and disappointing but that may be a result of sitting down at 1:30. The portions are generous. We also had haddock and chips and a deep fried fish platter both of which looked good.I would go back but maybe when they are not so busy.

We liked this pub. We had the plume burger and chips. It was delicious. The chips lovely and hot and crispy. Food was well presented and at a good price . Washed down with a glass of Malbec. Just what was needed after a long walk through farm land. Crondall a lovely village too

The Plume is our local and we occasionally visit for lunch or supper. This time four of us visited for a quiet supper. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the service helpful and the beer and wine happily imbibed! My steak was perfectly cooked and the chips were declared delicious by everyone. Those who had the duck confit commented that it could have been a little crisper but that it was also delicious.We are very lucky to have The Plume on our doorstep!

Good varied menu for a Sunday. We opted for roasts which were excellent. Good choice of desserts too, brownies very rich in chocolate.

Our second visit to this really first class English pub. If they were all to this standard they would be full of customers.

My husband and I were looking forward to an afternoon drink on the way home after our shopping trip to Newlyns Corner. We called in to the Plume, not having been there before only to be told that the pub was just about to close. We're not used to 'early closing' in pubs any more. I am sure we would have enjoyed our time there had we had the chance. We didn't have our dog with us but we were surprised to see that dogs were not allowed in the pub. That's a first got us in village pubs

Six friends arrived at the pub after a walk and we went straight to the bar for a drink. As we had reserved a table we were then shown where the table was in the restaurant,. The food was great and reasonably priced and the service was good, which was not surprising as we were the only ones in the restaurant. Finally we asked for the bill and we were surprised that 10% was added to everything, including the drinks from the bar that we ordered and collected at the bar. The beer was one of my favourites but when I noticed that it cost £4.80 I felt a little cheated, especially when it actually cost me £5.28.........that is too much.

We live in Crondall and decided to stay local for my girlfriends birthday and pop in the plume fo dinner. Great country pub with fantastic food and service

Einzigartiges Pub, sehr netter Service, sehr gutes Essen...bezauberndes , altes Gemäuer mit viel Geschichte. Wenn wir immer in Crondall wohnen würden, wir kämen öfter. Das Essen war abwechslungsreich, frisch, gut gewürzt, regional.... absolut zu empfehlen. Daumen nach oben. Für die Geschichte, die man in diesen Gemäuern spürt noch ein extra Punkt. Wir waren in einer Woche drei Mal da.....immer sehr gut!

Wir waren während unseren Aufenthalt in Crondall dreimal bei den Pub und waren immer sehr zufrieden, das Essen ist hervorragend und auch der Service ist nett. Sehr zu empfehlen

Met up with 2 friends for lunch, never been before. After reading online about this pub & the menu, I expected a really special lunch. Was very disappointing, scampi, chips & salad. Salad was mainly a whole pile of leaves, no dressing, about 6 scampi, loads of tired chips. Certainly not worth £12.95!! Will agree, very quaint & pretty pub, steeped in history. If I ever visit again, it will only be for a drink!

very quaint pretty pub, st in a lovely village, a lovely old listed church just up the hill from the pub,,,quite a big town nearby, lovely home cooked food served

Crondall is an attractive village and this pub is at its centre with good parking at the rear. It has a good choice of wines, welcoming staff, food OK.

A fleeting visit this time to taste some real ale at lunch time but we have dined and stayed here previously.

Excellent choice of dishes, served in a relaxed atmosphere. Good beer selection. Good to have mini dessert plus coffee/ tea choice.

This isn’t a negative review as staff were helpful, breakfast was fine and room was clean but I was surprised how tiny the bedroom was. No space to move if more than one person! If you just need a bed for a night then fine and it’s in a beautiful country village but not suitable for a romantic night away!

I can only assume no actual kitchen staff were available. Starters consisted of Greek salad, Caesar salad, soup and frozen whitebait. Mains included chicken breast, Barnsley, chop with specials of breaded scampi and Thai curry.

This historic pub has a wonderful atmosphere, excellent service & great food! It has been an active inn since the 16th century. The chef obviously works hard to offer a varied menu everyday with innovative contemporary creations. Crondall is a quaint medieval village just 45 minutes outside of London.

The table we'd booked for lunch for our group of four was ready and waiting and we had a warm and cheery welcome from the young lady behind the bar. The glowing wood burner was an added bonus. Menus were quickly given to us as we sat and drinks orders taken at the bar. There was an extensive gin menu (I chose Silent Pool) and there was also a good wine selection.

My wife and I, plus her brother and sister in law, popped in for a drink on a Sunday lunchtime. The place was not busy even though the pub did a sunday lunch menu. The pub is "olde worlde" (dating back several hundred years) and definitely has a certain charm. Even so I found the place soul-less and although the barmaid was friendly, the landlord/landlady seemed somewhat alloof and unwelcoming. I lived in the village 50 years ago and it was then a friendly, locals pub - this appears to have changed. Disappointing.

We wanted to have sandwiches and a drink before going to a wedding in Crondall village recently. With little time to eat more than that we ordered sandwiches and a drink at the bar on our arrival. The bar man told us that sandwiches would take longer than half an hour to prepare and bring to us. We cancelled the order and went without lunch! Seems ridiculous that a pub can't serve simple sandwiches at lunchtime in less time than that.

Oldest pub in Hampshire? maybe 1645. service excellent, menu via blackboards, there was four of us, I had whitebait as the starter, excellent all other starters were good, main I stayed on fish and had the mixed seafood, big mistake, dry, overcooked, french fries served with it overcooked, hard, no taste to anything, another in our party had the same, with the same result, the other two people had good main courses so far 50/50 desert, all had mini apple & blackberry crumble etc all excellent, so overall 60/40

We met friends for lunch at the Plume of Feathers in Crondall, we were all made very welcome and enjoyed a great lunch from the wide and well put together menu. The service was efficient and we all had a very good time. Thank you.

On booking in for our rooms and after a hard day traveling and working we needed sustenance and were seated in a very busy bar area and had view of the specials as well as the menu. The food was freshly cooked and very tasty. Choice was varied and service (on a very busy evening) was excellent. There was a quieter restaurant area for those booking in advance.

Been several times to this 16th Century Inn and have always left in two minds on returning. The pub is ideally located in the beautiful village of Crondall and comes highly recommended but I've tried coming going to the pub at several different times of the day and week and also different months and each time left deflated.

Reasonable food (soup of the day & a granary Brie & Bacon sandwich - very nice). Meal service was quite slow given that the pub was very quiet. Sad to see a very nice hound with his owners, who were obviously out for a weekend...

We were happy to return to The Plume of Feathers in Crondall after having drinks there last year with friends who live in the area. We knew it to be a friendly, clean and cozy pub where villagers of all sorts enjoy socializing and are incredibly welcome to newcomers. This year we were able to stay for dinner and enjoyed what ended up being the best pub meal we've ever had! I had the special Indian chicken curry with nan which was spectacular - not overly spicy and had the most perfectly cooked rice ever. The starter roasted figs with goat cheese and balsamic where fantastic and gobbled up by adults and kids alike. My husband had the vegetable tart with salad and he loved it. The service was warm and accommodating too. I will miss this place when we leave England!

Paramos en un par de veces. Es un pequeño pub y buen ambiente. Interior muy agradable pub inglés. cervezas y un personal amable. No tienen la comida, así que no puedo comentar nada. Pero disfrutamos de la gente. Es un típico pub rural pequeño. Tomamos unas cervezas y no mal un precio. Volveré si la zona! .

Hay que tener suerte o saber encontrar buena comida en pubs ingleses. Tuvimos suerte, encontrar una mesa sin reserva y comienza con un vaso de la ale local. Que quieren probar la carne local tradicional asado que cuestionaron a la camarera de cómo fue preparado y es de color rosa! ! ¡HURRA! Era rosa y no la licitación basto y recocido como es normal. Las verduras estaban frescos, no recocido y pasada e incluso el budín de yorkshire no era demasiado malo. Comida muy agradable con una copa de tinto. Cuando ordene vino piden medio vaso o vaso lleno? ? ? Tienes que estar bromeando, verdad? ? Jajaja.

Visited last night by chance and glad I did. The pub is beautiful and the setting is gorgeous. We had a drink at the bar then sat for dinner. I had the lamb rump which was perfectly cooked and well seasoned served with roasted Mediterranean veg - delicious. This will not be my last visit and can't wait to pop in again.

did not expect to find this one in a quaint little village , what a great community spirit there is , really liked the atmosphere and such pleasant staff , very nice interesting menu all served up with some on form ales , well done , excellent food and snacks , we will be back.

We booked an overnight stay on our way South but, thanks to the M3 roadworks, arrived just after the kitchen had closed. The bar staff kindly rustled up a plate of bar snacks, which were ample. The clientele turned out to be someone with whom we had a mutualm acquaintance. Breakfast next morning was a good full English. We left smiling.

After a local walk for one & a half hours, we arrived to refresh ourselves with a bite to eat and drink. Very good selection of ales, clean environment and friendly staff. Lunch was very good and a recommended revisit will follow.

What a charming place - lots of local photographs on the walls of village activities. Had the club sandwich - delicious, thank youThis pub felt like a genuine village pub but with the benefit of offering a warm welcome to strangers!

Have been eating here once or twice a month since Nov 2016. The food is always tasty and of a very good quality. My GF and I have always enjoyed eating here and long may it continue.Make sure you leave room for dessert. The Chocolate Brownie is the just the best desert ever.

Stayed here at a last minute pit stop on my journey, and was very well looked after.The room was small but had all the amenities. It was cosy and had internet in the room which was a bonus. Being a pub which also. Had a restaurant area as well had a nice selection of food and drink.The establishment had a large car park so no need to park on the main road.Wifi was also available throughout the pub for those that wish to be constantly "connected".I definitely would recommend this pub/B&B form those that need a friendly stay if they are in the area.

This is great local pub with a great restaurant that also serves food in the bar.This is our preferred local pub and place to eat out whether for casual lunch or inviting friends over for an evening meal.Really friendly staff and a great landlord who really enjoys what he does

We visited this place on a Sunday and were surprised that it was so quiet - we were concerned that this was a bad portent for the quality of the meal, but we did not need to worry - we had an excellent 'pub lunch', with very friendly service.

Four of us booked supper in the Plume on a Friday evening. We ordered starters and a main each, from an appetising and comprehensive menu choice. The starters were all excellent, ranging from squid rings to black pudding.Portion sizes and presentation was excellent. The main courses, a chicken curry and steak were chosen. My steak was the highlight of the meal - ordered rare, it was served rare and was delicious. One of the best steaks I have ever eaten in the UK and as good as I expect in restaurants in France. We will certainly return!

I recently had dinner at this restaurant with a group of friends and family. Not having much experience with English food or traditional pubs, I enjoyed my experience at this establishment. Our party was seated in a corner, that was kind of hard to access and limited being able to get in and out easily without disturbing several other people. The seats were long benches (with backs) - so everyone had to slide out to let another get out - a minor inconvenience, but one of our party was handicapped and it made it a bit more difficult for her. In this restaurant we had to go to the bar to order our drinks and then they would deliver them if they were not immediately available - seems and odd process for an American used to total waiter service, but, hey, it worked and did have some charm. The atmosphere was dark wood with lighter walls and seemed to be traditional pub decor - giving our space a slightly cosy and private feel. The menu seemed to be more adventurous for a pub, and I tried one of their specials - a pulled pork sandwich. While it was good, it did not compare to the pulled pork from the American south that I am used to - definitely a different interpretation - but a good one. Several in our party ordered hamburgers and they were very pleased with their selections. The burgers were large and cooked to perfection and were accompanied by big fat fries. Personally, I like my fries skinny, but everyone else really enjoyed them done this way - apparently a very traditional English side dish. It was raining the day we visited, so the out door seating was not open. I understand that there is another part to this pub - a more upscale restaurant section that is decorated slightly differently and has a different menu, but this was not opened while we were there. It was originally where we planned to eat - but the pub worked out just fine.

What more is there to say? Enjoyed a lovely meal with friends. Need to book on a Saturday but by 10 o'clock you'll most likely be on your own! The residents of this sleepy village seem to eat early an go home early, but don't let that put you off, you can always talk to the very friendly staff.

A charming little local pub, frequented by locals and visitors. Lovely old pub feel, plenty of wood and character. Excellent food and garden at the back, tables also at the front. Worth a visit.

The atmosphere is very pleasant and the food offered is wide ranging and very well prepared.The cost of the food is commensurate with this type of restaurant. The staff were helpful and attentive. We had a very pleasant evening with friends.

The pub has three rooms out the back of the pub. It's tiny, no room for even a chair and only able to get in and out one side of the bed. I laid towels on the floor as the carpet was discoloured. Also could hear conversations from other couples in both rooms. The pub seemed to have a good atmosphere but I won't stay again. The staff were friendly.

Every month my husband and I visit my sister and her family who live right by this pub/restaurant. We have been doing this for a few years now. The pub is cosy with a log fire all autumn and winter. I really recommend the food. The regular menu has some of my favorites,(eg, crab ravioli in prawn sauce, whitebait) and the specials which change every week or month (not sure) include seasonal game, steak and ale pie among other things. Even though we always eat here, we are never disappointed and always find the food expertly and deliciously cooked.

I visited this pretty pub on Friday 5th Feb. As a guest of a friendI ordered the Sea Bass fillets, which came with ' fresh vegetables'The sea Bass was fine & fortunately was served on a bed of spinach & tomatoesHowever the fresh vegetables were inedible.I sent them back & the waitress said'The chef quite agrees with you' As a guest, it is difficult to make a fuss. My friend ordered coffees which I also found stewed & therefore was not able to drinkNo apology or concession was made, therefore I will not return to this venue or recommend it to anyone

We have a new favourite pub! Fabulous family meal Christmas week. Everything we ordered was delicious. We were a family of four and we ordered three starters, four mains, three deserts, bottle of wine, 1.5 pints for £30/person. We found this great value for outstanding cuisine and a wonderful dining experience. Salmon, mushroom and fig starters. Mains: pheasant, halibut, pork medallions, lamb shank. Sticky toffee pudding x3. Absolutely scrumptious. Attentive but not intrusive service. Atmospheric decor. Gracious hospitality in a charming village setting. We'll be back soon and have started planning the visitors we'll take there.

We love this pub although the restaurant is a bit more like a dining room than pub, lovely for meals out with friends or family. The food is wonderful, great staff. I love the very old building, very cosy.

This 17th century pub has loads of history. Includes a visit from Oliver Cromwell. We visited on a quiet Tuesday lunch time and had a couple of drinks, quite expensive for a pint of bitter. Although an extremely old pub bars and service rooms extremely clean. Very friendly young lady serving behind the bar.

We stayed overnight in one of their rooms, so naturally we took a beer and meal in the pub as well. The place is very popular with locals during the week (we were there on a Tuesday and it was packed) as well with tourists during the weekend. Beers and food were good, lively atmosphere throughout the evening. Service could be a bit better, but respect for the family-run business!

Lovely country pup in the village of Crondall. Look out of the windows and you will see horse riders trotting by. The staff are friendly and the food is very good. My husband has a reunion there with retired workers from his company approx every six months. I usually go along. The food is very good pub food. With a good choice of light meals or more substantial meals. They used to and I think they still do buy their meat from a very good butcher in Fleet. (Clark butchers). We have also been there in the evening very good but wise to book a table. Never fails to please

Live close by and have been meaning to visit for a long time. Visited on a Wednesday evening during the recent heat wave. This is a very popular pub in a lovely village. It has a cosy and friendly atmosphere and has a pleasant restaurant and outside seating at both the front and the rear. The menu was varied with everything from ploughman's, sandwiches and light bites up to steaks. The special board was good with some 'different' dishes. We had prawns and whitebait to start and the burger and a goats cheese salad for mains. All were good and well presented. One small moans was that the salad was 99% green leaves with just half a tomato so not very exciting. Otherwise potions were quite large. There is also a good selection of ales. This place is not cheap but given the setting and the quality of both food and service I consider it reasonable value. We will definitely visit again.

To get to our final destination 'The Plume of Feathers' in Crondall (a beautiful rural village in Hampshire), we took a lovely detoured route through the countryside. The route we took was awesome, it had some really great bends, scenic landscapes and good straights too, so this alone made the whole experience an enjoyable one. The Plume of Feathers is actually a bed and breakfast but we just came to eat. Really "oldy worldy" type of pub, a beautiful large open fire in the middle, with loads of nooks and crannies full of tables to sit at and eat. The Waitress was very friendly and chatty. She took us to a nice table where she sat us down and asked if we wanted something to drink. Egg ordered a kiwi and lime cider, and waffle a water. Once waffle tasted eggs she also ordered an apple and passionfruit cider which was just as delicious. We would definitely recommended these ciders on a warm summers evening! We had a look at the specials board and both immediately decided upon the "camembert board" sharing starter. As you know we love our cheese and couldn't resist! Egg ordered the roast beef, and waffle, the lamb shoulder, both served with roast potatoes and vegetables. The starter came out quickly and the presentation was great. The camembert was a good size and perfectly cooked. We had a number of choices as to what to dip in the baked cheese; celery sticks, carrot sticks, breadsticks, potato wedges and some apple slices. Delicious! The MainsEggs roast beef; 4 large slices of tender beef, loads of roasties covered in a cajun spice, lots of lovely veggies on the side with a little boat of gravy to accompany it. Egg was a happy man tucking into it! Waffles main was the lamb shoulder with red wine and mint gravy. It was so succulent, it fell off the bone and melted in the mouth, she has never had lamb as good as this, Perfect!! Again the potatoes and veg were cooked well and super tasty. We were too stuffed for pud! Shows the portions were bang on!The facilities were as you would expect in a pub like this, dated, but were clean and tidy, with the soaps and hand towels replenished. SummaryService was really good, she recommended us to look at the specials board and made sure we were ok throughout the meal (but not too much, sometimes that can be annoying). The only disappointment was the time it took for her to get the bill at the end (prob 10-15 mins). We had to go to the till to ask if we had to pay there before she got the bill and bought it to the table. Apart from the that she was really great. Food was delicious! . Really good old fashioned home grub in a lovely relaxed cosy setting. We both left full and very happy. We look forward to returning in the winter with the cosy log fire lit too.Overall we give our visit to the Plume of Feathers a 4/5. We would recommended to all and will definitely return. The roads around the area are quiet country roads with some lovely bends in the Alton road (A339). I know this area is a bikers paradise in the summer so definitely worth a ride.

We went for dinner on a Saturday evening. We had to book as the place is very popular. And no wonder, the food and the staff are both excellent. I had a goats cheese and walnut salad with some potato wedges on the side and it was very very good. My wife had veal and said it was delicious. For dessert I had the hot brownie in chocolate sauce with ice cream and it was also delicious. Our waitress was fantastic and was very helpful and efficient.I would recommend this pub restaurant to anyone.

A traditional pub with a nice restaurant. Sunday lunch good. Meat a bit on the cool side but veg hot. Would recommend.

birthday lunch for a friend. Presented with a bill of £121 for a meal for 4 people with drinks, no champagne. Surprised all of us as no itemised I'll given just total. So you have been warned CHECK YOuR BILL. The true bill total was £90. Meal was good before shocking final bill

This is a pleasant country pub, in a quiet well-healed village. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal on a quiet Monday lunchtime. The portions were good, and the burger is a must. This meal was very large and the burger of a very high quality.My only complaint was the coffee machine. The proprietor kept banging it loudly, which became irritating after a while. He needs to soften his blow.

We enjoyed a last minute dinner at the Plume last night. We sat in the main restaurant area just in front of the lit fire which created a cosy ambience on a cold night. Our party enjoyed beef stroganoff with rice, sea bass, pork medallions and fish and chips. We all enjoyed each of our respective dishes but would comment that the side dishes of vegetables could have been a bit more generous between three of us. The fish and chips were particularly good - succulent, moist fish and especially good chips. Lovely service from the young waiting team and a really enjoyable impromptu meal. Will definitely return.

Set in the charming small village of Crondall. We've eaten here on many occasions, either in the bar or in the small cosy restaurant. You can also eat outside in summer. Plenty of parking too. Food is always excellent with plenty of choice and good value including burgers for the kids.

The Plume of Feathers is what you'd expect a village pub to look like - an old stone exterior and a interior with wooden beams and a fireplace. Thankfully the modern terrors of slot machines and loud music have been kept firmly at bay, with only very soft music playing in the background.There are several real ales on offer, plus a good selection of wines by the glass or the bottle. The menu is wide ranging, offering anything from sandwiches through to meat and fish dishes, plus a daily specials board of a further 6 or 8 dishes. The food is beautifully cooked and presented, and could not be faulted. Service is equally good, the two young guys working behind the bar were attentive and friendly.Well worth a visit.

Yesterday we went for lunch at this pub, the atmosphere was great with a lovley log burner, the service was quick and friendly. The menu choice was good with a list and then the specials. We had two very different meals and they were both excellent and very nicely presented. The beers were good too, according to my husband and he should know! As for the puddings well the hard part was making a choice and the best part was eating it. Will we go again YES

Popped in for a pint and decided to have lunch and was very happy with the result.Had chicken jalfrezi with rice and home cooked papadums, it was excellent very well cooked and great service!

After leaving our New Year Celebration plans to the last minute we found that the Plume of feathers were doing a set menu and fireworks. We were a group of 8 and had little hope that we would get a table on New Years Eve morning but we rang up and luck had it that they could fit us in. When we arrived we realised that we were very lucky as the dining area is small and was full. For our £30 set price evening we got a glass of Prosecco on arrival, a starter, a main, dessert, coffee & chocolates! The bar staff were really friendly and made us feel like regulars straight away. The food was very enjoyable, we all had a variety of meals and all of them were good. The coffee was the only thing that wasn't great but who wants to be drinking coffee on New Years anyway! I can't believe we've lived so close for 26 years and have never visited before but we will definitely be visiting again. Thanks for a great evening!

Had lunch here with a colleague and I was pleasantly surprised by the setting, the friendly staff and the food which was both very good and reasonably priced. We had a very enjoyable lunch and a couple of drinks and the total bill was around £15.

It was remarkably quiet probably because the fire wasn't roaring? However the food was delicious and good value.. great venue and friendly staff...

Just got back from an excellent lunch at the Plume of feathers. The four of us chose the gurnard on the specials board and it was delicious! They also accommodated our various changes as some wanted veg and potatoes; others, chips and one was gluten intolerant. The fish was succulent and its sauce marvellous. We have been three times before and the food is always good.My only gripe would be the welcome was a bit ... cold but I know one of the waitresses was new and probably a bit reserved.We ate in the restaurant this time. You can reserve tables in the bar area too which I think I'd prefer when it's not busy.

A well loved local, the Plume always delivers high quality, consistently good food & ale, all served in a terrific atmosphere. They have always looked after us incredibly well and we recently had cause to eat there 3 days on the trot (a lot going on at home!), but each time was a treat, The standards are high and the food is delicious, with the burger & the club sandwich topping my personal favorites list! I haven't eaten in the restaurant for a while but the bar food is fantastic. Their beer is very well kept and the service is keen, smiley & very attentive. All in all a cracking local pub full of good cheer & atmosphere with low beams and a roaring wood burner.

This is a popular pub with a cosy and friendly atmosphere. The food includes the basics, also some slightly more inventive dishes. We tried the crayfish and scallop ravioli which was very tasty, although the pasta dough was a little overworked. I have it on authority from one of the regulars that the ham, egg and chips is excellent too!

Nice country establishment . Not been for some time. Has improved since last visit. Good varied menu to suit all tastes. Food well presented and good sized portions . Friendly service and good traditional surroundings. Look forward to return visit.

We've eaten at the Plume a number of times and have always found the food to be very good indeed It can be a little pricey but it's high qualityAs it's an old pub it can seem a little cramped to more modern locations but it has a very nice atmosphere
