Actor Neil Morrissey is parting from The Plume of Feathers pub in Staffordshire after 10 years, as his company opts not to renew their lease. With Punch Pubs retaining the location, Morrissey desires more control by seeking a freehold property. The departure raises concerns about the pub's survival, as it needs new management to stay open. While Punch Pubs searches for new operators, Morrissey and partners aim for greater autonomy in the pub industry.
