Cramped for pushchairs

Good food let down by being assigned a cramped table with insufficient space for a pushchair despite requesting space for a pushchair when booking,poor attitude by some staff and manager only became involved later,when we were offered a small reduction in bill and an apology too little too late,to ruin a first meal out with the new addition to the family .The plume of feathers needs to reduce the number of tables and not treat families with small children as second class citizens

Fantastic Sunday lunch

Wonderful Sunday roast meals, also final Friday night evening meals. Quality food on both occasions. Staff were lovely, friendly and attentive despite the business on the Friday evening. Been going here for the last 40 years when on holiday. Doesn't disappoint . Hope they keep the current chef

The Plume of Feathers

Historic village pub with great meals and drinks, good quality, fresh and tasty. Friday was Lobster night - and it was superb. We ate many meals here, or popped by for a drink. The local men sang sea shanties outside one night. Prebook to be sure of a table, as its the main pub in Porthscatho.

This is a delightful place to visit whether you want a quick coffee or a three course meal. The staff are friendly and the welcome is warm. A great variety of drinks behind the bar and food from the kitchen.

Good food

Very good food and service at this pub. It is probably best to book for an evening meal, although you can order a takeaway and eat it on the pub benches to the front.
Parking is somewhat restricted but we were lucky to find a space.

Fantastic Sunday lunch

We have had Sunday lunch here 3 years running and it doesn’t ever disappoint. Booking essential for the Sunday lunch. Fantastic selection of meats- we always go for the beef. Fresh vegetables brought out and all at a reasonable price. Good service.

Sunday Roast

Disappointed visit as table booked at 3.15 and they had sold out of roast dinners.
Don't make our mistake, book in advance and for earlier than 3.15.

As compensation we were treated to free desserts.
