Blue Scrumpy left this review about Plume
This pub has now reverted to the name "Plume". Being slap bang in the middle of the town centre and not having a car park, you will have to pay if arriving by car.
The interior has a couple of long rooms, either side of a central bar. The bar is to the left, with a dining room to the right. However confusingly, a Sunday carvery was being run from the rear of the bar. Costing £19 for just the main course, it didn't appeal to us.
Decoration is all fairly garish but still rather dark. There was a piano in the bar area, with live music also promoted. Dogs are allowed in.
Landlord is the regular cask ale. A second beer was Rocking Rudolph. Level Head & Hazy Day were keg options. With no real cider available, keg ciders were Inch's & Weston's Vintage.
I struggled to warm to this place. It seemed to lack any kind of identity. Perhaps that happens to a pub when its name is continually changed.

Now Greene King (great!) but not a huge amount of change inside bar the stripping of the artex and a bit of paint here and there and a less foody ambience than before. Three ales on; GK OSH, a house beer of unknown provenance and Tim Taylor Landlord, the latter of which was perfunctory. There's little reason to prioritise this one.
April 2014 (as Plume of Feathers)
Portico door (you are nobody in Hungerford without one). Horseshoe shaped bar, one or two old touches inside but too opened out to retain any real charm. Wattle walls looked more like an artex repro to me. A few brasses and framed prints but nothing of interest, bar some papers. Long wait before someone showed up (too busy mincing around with food and cutlery). Three ales, GK Ruddles, Leeds Best (warm, below-par) and a house beer of unknown provenance. In fact there wasn't much out of the ordinary at the bar despite upmarket pretensions elsewhere. Not one I’d look to do again for a beer. Rated 5

A great find, excellent meals. We were a bit dubious about eating here, looks a bit small and maybe boozer style.
However once inside it is like the Tardis, there are 4 bars, and an outside patio / fag area, some bars have settees, the other areas are laid out for food service
The beer choice is a bit limited, only 2 bitters, but as one was Ruddles County no problem there, but at £3 a pint you would not chooses to have a binge here
The food is very good, and a wide selection, from sarnie to fillet steak, with prices to match. All made & cooked on the premises
No idea about evening trade, but for lunchtime food this is the place, run by family, all very friendly, and my companion raved over the coffee
If in Hungerford do try
