"Very disappointed and will NEVER be returning. Used to class here as my local however after todays experience I will never be returning. Firstly I ordered a beef and gravy sandwich to be told they haven’t got sandwiches on today and we were asked had anyone informed us of this which they hadn’t. Secondly when my boyfriend went to place his order the waitress had decided to leave the table. I then had no choice but to order the gammon which I asked to have fries with. My partner ordered pork loin and they did not ask what he would like with that I.e mash chips potatoes. No longer having placed our order I heard someone else place an order at the bar asking for a sandwich and to be told that’s fine. Then the waitress came over to our table to be told they had no mash to go with the pork but we never had an option. Anyways when my meal came out the waitress asked who’s the steak and veg were baring in mind she was holding gammon (she hadn’t a clue) what she was handing out and it came with homemade chips which I did not request as I requested fries. The fries then came out soaking with grease and tasted heavily like grease too the pot they were served in also had a pool of grease at the bottom.Disappointed"

"A total gem indeed! We visited after seeing the highly rated reviews whilst travelling passed Newcastle and needing some lunch. We had two fabulous burgers which were cooked perfectly an a very generous portion. Alongside two drinks, these meals cost a total off £24. Amazing value! We also took some cakes out and these were absolutely delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place had a great atmosphere. Highly recommend and will certainly return if in the area."

"Today Emma and I enjoyed a meal box from the Feathers. Ordered a couple of days before hand I collected, took home served our Northumberland charcuterie, braised beef and mash and apple tart 3 courses meal. These times have seen so many businesses struggling. I’m so pleased the likes of the Feathers has turned such difficulties into huge positives by offering customers something a little bit unique. I wholeheartedly suggest everybody gives this an opportunity to thrive by trying their menu."

"This is a fantastic pub with a great ambiance. The interior is exceptionally well-designed, featuring beams and exposed brickwork. When we arrived, there was a vast selection of food, making it tough to decide what to order! We made excellent choices, as every dish was superb with generous portions that weren't overwhelming. The Guinness was also perfectly poured. They do have a children's menu, but you'll need to ask for it. It was quite busy during the week, so I recommend making a reservation. We double-checked the bill because it felt surprisingly low for the quality of food we received, but it was accurate—under £60 for three drinks, three main courses (including one from the children's menu), and starters. Overall, it's excellent value for outstanding quality."

"Been a few times now and I love it and will go back many more times and highly recommend it to anyone who'll listen. But I'd stay well away from the Sunday roast dinners. Their beautiful but you get NOWT! 2 roasties and a teaspoon of mash topped with a sliver of meat and a sprig of veg isn't worth 15 quid sorry. It's not about the money, Its just NOT a Sunday roast. Plates should be loaded in a lovely warm country pub like this. Everything else on the menu is MAHOOSIVE and delicious. Everything else about the place is sooo perfect. Staff. Atmosphere. Service. Everything. Go now. Just stick to the normal menu."
