About This Pub
Ah, The Plume of Feathers – it's one of those pubs in Solihull that just hits the spot for a relaxed meal or a catch-up with mates. From what I've gathered from the buzz around, the staff are absolute gems most of the time, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after, which really adds to the homely feel. The food's a winner too; their pizzas are baked fresh with proper dough, and the carvery is a proper hearty option, especially with those 'small plate' choices that let you enjoy without overdoing it. Plus, with daily deals like two cocktails for £14 or half-price on burgers, it's easy on the pocket, and I love how they're into supporting local charities – makes you feel good about popping in. On the flip side, though, it's not all smooth sailing; a couple of reviews mentioned waiting ages for simple orders, and it seems like service can vary depending on who's on shift, which might leave you a bit frustrated if you're in a rush. Overall, it's a solid choice for families or a casual evening, as long as you go in with realistic expectations – the positives far outweigh the niggles, and I'd say it's worth a visit for anyone in the area looking for good grub and a warm atmosphere.
Pros and Cons

The food is spot on – think tasty pizzas made with fresh dough and a proper carvery that's perfect for a Sunday treat, all at brilliant value prices.

They've got some cracking deals, like 50% off pizzas and burgers, plus a rewards app where you can earn free meals – it's a wallet-friendly spot for a good night out.

There can be long waits for food sometimes, like one chap mentioned waiting over 50 minutes for burgers and a pizza, which puts a dampener on things.

Service isn't always consistent – a few folks have noted that some staff might ignore you or not keep you updated, even if others are top-notch.

55 minute wait for 2 burgers and a kids pizza. Asked a waitress for an update on food, she went to the kitchen and then ignored us afterwards. A second waitress was telling another customer about the waiting time and I asked her and she went and sorted the food out. It was piping hot so only just cooked after 50 mins. Won't be back
Just had breakfast here , got to say all the staff are so welcoming, and the food is yummy . The staff are up beat that make it an enjoyable atmosphere. Always top service and it’s goood to go in to an establishment and the high chairs are clean and not have to clean it up ourselves and the baby changing facilities we clean and smelt nice too ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a lovely family meal here, there was alot of us and the service was quick and efficient. Food was lovely and didn't take long to come out. Staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely be returning
The staff at the Plume of Feathers were absolutely fantastic today. I had a christening for my daughter & the table I had booked at a different restaurant had fallen through. I called the Plume & they said they could arrange a table of 17 for me in the next hour. They were fantastic. We arrived & they had set all the tables up for us. The staff were so courteous & the food was lovely. Thank you so much again. Can really not thank you all enough
I'm not a pub person, but this one is really nice, comfortable and the food is good. First time I've noticed that one can order a 'small' plate for the carvery instead of a huge plate. Really good value for money.
