Proud of our people award


The hunt for the nation’s top bar teams has found its first winner and it is us!
A big congratulations to all the Feathers Inn staff as we have been selected as the first winner of a national competition for all their hard work! We are very Proud of them all.
The Publican magazine wrote
"The frontline of pub retailing, the people who customers are most likely to deal with face-to-face, are the nation’s barstaff – and it’s about time we gave those people some recognition".
The award is presented by the Publican newspaper as part of their Proud of Your People initiative, being run in association with Fairy.
They felt that our team that stands out from the rest to win this award – before picking out one extra-special line-up as an overall winner in November at an awards lunch in London.
The team will recieve a £300 cash prize for a celebratory night out.
“People make pubs – it’s as simple as that,” says Chris Gale, head of marketing, Procter & Gamble Professional, the company behind Fairy.
“It is for this very reason that Fairy is proud to be working with The Publican on Proud of Your People. We recognise that running a pub is a tough job and the team behind you – be it the barstaff, the kitchen brigade or the cleaning staff – are key to making your job easier, your customers happier and your pub a resounding success.”
The unsung heroes of the trade can often be left out when it comes to industry accolades.

Northumbria Dining pub of the Year 2008

Rhian and Helen are proud to announce that The Feathers Inn, Hedley on the
Hill, is Northumbria Dining Pub of the Year 2008, selected by the Good Pub
Guide.

Helen Greer and chef Rhian Cradock have owned the pub only since April, but
have established a fast-growing reputation for locally sourced, seasonal
food cooked to the highest standards. It's been a popular local haunt for
two centuries, but the Feathers Inn is now becoming nationally recognised as
a warm and friendly place to eat traditional British food at its very best.

Along with their enthusiastic and knowledgeable team, ably assisted by wine
expert s and the North East's finest farmers and brewers, the couple
have also reached the national finals of UKTV Food's Local Heroes, to be
broadcast in November.

Widely consulted as the reliable independent guide to the nation's best
locals, inns and country pubs, The Good Pub Guide 2008 is now available from
booksellers.

We are also proud to announce that we will be holding a beer and food matching evening with celebrated journalist Alastair Gilmour and the Mordue brewery.
