I stumbled across Spitting Feathers when I was in the area for work, expecting yet another "english bar" which is nothing of the sort. So imagine my surprise when I saw real english beers, bar snacks and great atmosphere. Spitting Feathers is an awesome bar, the only problems are the location which its so easy to miss as its just up some stairs off a street which is not that busy, but don't let that worry you, put in the time to find it and the rewards are worth it.
Very hard to find and thought the advertising in the street needed to be added at ground level but after going not sure if they need to. Wouldn't recommend it.
Food was not good and the wine we were buying when asking for another bottle was not available very early in the night. The pie we got was not as described by the waitress.Asked if it was minced beef or a beef pie and were told it was a beef pie meaning chuncks of beef. Turned out it was a less than average mince pie.
Food showing on the Spitting Feathers website not available.
Very disappointing and wont be going back to the Spitting Feathers
Been to Spitting Feathers a couple of times & will go again, good ale, haven't tasted the food but a real plus for me that the walls weren't covered with the standard Union Flags, horse brasses & old bikes bolted to the ceiling.
Looking forward to a few pints of Pedi on Saturday night.
Tried out Spitting Feathers, last night (friday) had a few beers Spitfire, tetley's etc real happy with the beer well priced, welldone, only let down for us was the noise you could not hear the person sitting next to you.If you can sort this problem out you will be onto a winner good luck guys.
Good beer,
Good food,
The Spitting Feathers could do better with promoting the menu, 'fish and wedgies', whats the fish? Haddock. Why not promote it! For those born north of Watford, the best fish in the world!
Had wedges this weekend. Took ages to arrive (had to ask if they had forgotten). They had no taste and came with a little bowl of sour cream that was so gluggy you honestly couldn't scoop it up. Laminated menus were sticky and offputting. Tables full of empty glasses. Was on deck but was too noisy as it is just a concrete box. Music on but couldn't really hear what it was playing. Ears started crackling as people had to shout over the music.Apart from that the Spitting Feathers was ok. Staff were friendly and service was quick. I would go back to Spitting Feathers again and hopefully the minor issues above would have been addressed - just teething problems I guess. Like something from Canal St. in Manchester not a local pub.
I see you are finally open, I went twice within the week of the mooted opening date and was disappointed both times and no opening date was given, so I gave up. I will try again soon to see if the Spitting Feathers lives up to the hype, though I fear I will have missed all the grand opening prices and promos. PR Fail!
Really impressed with Spitting Feathers. Friendly staff, great ambience. I came here for the beer - was not disappointed - was in beer heaven!
Will definitely go back, thought the food was a very high standard for pub food and well priced. Recommended.
