General Comments
We had been to The Old Feathers over 5 years ago and it was lovely, but this time it was awful. On arrival we found the staff outside the main door smoking. We ordered starters, but the waitress didn't know anything about any of them. We ordered a stuffed mushroom which was only lukewarm and not stuffed; just a flat mushroom with cheese sauce over it. We ordered children's pizza and chips x 2, and only one turned up, then they finally brought another after realising their mistake, which was still frozen inside and had to go back. For the main course we opted for a carvery, but again it was not too good. The meat was tough, the veg was OK, the puddings were hard and tough, and everything was only tepid in temperature.



We passed on desserts, except for the children who had ice cream. Not a lot can go wrong with that; and sticky toffee pudding which was just OK.



This was the first time in a long time we had gone out for a celebration meal, which was to celebrate my Mums retirement, and we were very much disappointed.
