Friends ...
As we all wonder what has happened to our Spring, here at “The Nest”,
we aim to offer a ray of sunshine no matter what the weather throws at us.
Our Head Chef, Kuba has created some wonderful new dishes.
This week will see the arrival of fresh Langoustines to whet your appetite.
So book early as supplies are limited!

On another cheerful note, we wish to share the following news with you:
On Monday Evening the 20th of May, we were invited to attend the national
“VisitEngland Awards for Excellence” ceremony held at The Point,
Lancashire County Cricket Ground, Old Trafford, in Manchester.
At this black tie event, hosted by the chairman of VisitEngland,
Penelope, Viscountess Cobham, it was with sheer delight that
The Feathered Nest had bestowed upon it the
“Gold Award for Tourism Pub of The Year.”
To achieve this level of excellence, is all down to the hard work and dedication of the staff.
And once again we wish to thank you, our friends, for your continuous support.
Tony and Amanda
Commenting on the Award James Berresford, VisitEngland’s Chief Executive said:
“The quality of the applications we received was very high making the competition for a Gold Award extremely tough. It is therefore a tremendous achievement for The Feathered Nest to win the Gold Award, the highest accolade for ‘Excellence in Tourism’ which VisitEngland can bestow. They raised the bar for excellence, which others can aspire to.
I warmly congratulate them".
Brigid Simmonds OBE, Chief Executive, British Beer & Pub Association sponsor of the Tourism Pub of the Year Award said:
"We are very proud to sponsor this award. Pubs are a major attraction, serving great food and drink, and increasingly, they are a wonderful place to stay. Pubs and Great British beer are a vital part of our hospitality industry and our way of life. I’m really delighted to see VisitEngland recognising pubs’ crucial role so clearly, with the Tourism Pub of the Year award. Our warmest congratulations to The Feathered Nest Country Inn”
