Autumn Feasting Menu

AUTUMN FEASTING


Our Autumn feasting menu choices are below. Larger groups can order a maximum of two dishes from the list of starters, main courses and desserts which we will price up for you per person.
This manner of dining at The Feathers Inn avoids the lengthy process of dealing with al a carte orders for large groups, eases the passage of your order through the kitchen but more importantly, it enhances the sense of occasion that brings a large group together around a table.
So, having circulated the menu options amongst your friends you could put together a menu along the lines of, for example Rhian’s black pudding to begin, Whole Roast Suckling Pig as the main course and finishing off with a selection of Northumbrian cheese. All dishes come to the table in large bowls or on large platters, some of which are carved at the table.
