We arrived just outside the regular lunchtime but it was still busy and people were arriving all the time. Car parking is a reasonable size, but also serves the Brewery and shop. We hadn't booked, but a table was found in the bar area which was a little tight. The menu is varied so I chose Stuffed Parma chicken with buttered greens and mash. The broccoli was a little too al dente and the tomato sauce tasted like it had come out of a tin. My husband had a steak and ale pie which wasn't very big and had hard pastry, but the filling was OK. He also had broccoli and mash. Together with 2 Appletisers, the bill came to £43 which was too expense for what it entailed. Not somewhere I'd return to.

We had a fantastic sunday roast and pudding, good value for money and more than enough to eat. Huge yorkshire, plenty of meat and veg cooked perfectly. Nicely presented and very tasty. Puddings may seem a bit pricey at £8.50 but they were delicious and a big portion size. Lovely setting inside and good service. Would visit again!

I would like to say, beautiful building with the most amazing food that we've ever had. Lovely ambience. Amazing Staff! Great locals who you can have a crack with... I would definitely recommend people to go there and they also brew their own ale on site also award winning ale

Great Sunday roast, table of 20 us so we had to pre ordered. The food was prompt-fresh and very tasty. All washed down with a few pints of Norfolk's finest Nog. I was a little put off by some reviews, however we found the food, service and ale all superb. Would thoroughly recommend it.

Excellent, friendly, good food, helpful staff. This is the home of Woodford's brewery and their famous Wherry beer, among others.

Perfect English pub combining beautiful setting, big car park, great beer, food and staff. Although a proper restaurant, the Fur n' Feather has that rare for today 'pub atmosphere'. Full range of local Woodforde's beers but offering a host of alternatives. Plenty of seating inside and out. 5 stars

My husband and I had a lovely Sunday roast here. The portions were a good size, the service was friendly and the wait wasn't too long. We were staying on a boat, so we moored up at Salhouse Broad and booked a table for later that day. I would recommend booking a table as they do get busy. The pub is approximately 25 minutes walk from Salhouse Broad.

Having visited the fur and feather a few times previously was very disappointed. The menu was extremely limited with next to no specials. The food served was extremely poor for the price. Salad had no dressing, calamari was greasy and not crispy . Husbands Gammon and chips was a large portion of underwhelming gammon and chips , flavourless and poorly presented. Would not visit again .

This place has gone downhill. You wait a ridiculous time for your meal. The bruschetta was inedible. A mound of nasty sun dried tomatoes which I had to work out what they were as they looked like flesh. Yuck.

I’d like to congratulate the chef for doing real chips. So many pubs now use catering chips and charge the earth for them. They were sweet, tender and crunchy. Also all the staff are efficient, very dog welcoming and friendly to all the customers. The best pub around here. Thank you to all involved.

Called in the brewery and decided to stay for our tea. Went into bar ordered drinks and asked where we could sit, told either in bar or in the dining area. Some tables in bar had reserved signs on, so we went into dining area. No staff around and young lass behind bar said go through. Staff were sat at a table laughing and joking no one said where we could or couldn't sit, so sat at closest table. Young lad a staff member came through, he was asked he he'd taken our order to which he replied no and it's on principal. Another member of staff took our order. The food was well cooked, well presented and tasted lovely. Two others came into dining area where young lad announced that someone had taken their table so they would need to sit somewhere different. Assume that other was us as other table in room was obviously family members of owner Sorry, attitude of your staff ruined a lovely meal. Won't be back due to rude young lad in dining area. Could have had your say after we left

Sadly it was an awful experience. Having visited once before (a few years ago) I was happy to come back with my elderly parents. It was a warm summer evening and the garden was quite busy. We opted to sit in the restaurant and 45 minutes after our order was taken, I enquired as to where our food was. When it eventually arrived, two of the three meals were inedible- one ribeye steak was seriously overcooked and the burger was burnt black under the bun. When I discussed this with the manager, I was told it was because they were busy with short staff in the kitchen. The manager removed the cost of all 3 meals from our bill so did as much as she could to rectify a situation but by that point the evening was already ruined. I would not recommend visiting this (or any) restaurant that lets its food standards slip so badly because of a busy period!

We sat outside by the pond and enjoyed listening to birds singing! I had lamb, which was just done to a turn and the sauce was really tasty! My husband had a Yorkie pie with slow cooked beef, which was a very generous portion and really delicious. We hope to return on our way back to Wroxham.

Manager/owner seemed stressed as we walked in. Huffing and sighing. Staff lingering at bar discussing complaints made from Father’s Day bookings. Whole atmosphere seemed unprofessional and not once did staff ask is food was ok during meal. We seemed an inconvenience to be paying for food.

We had a fabulous Sunday Roast at the Fur & Feather Inn. I booked after reading several reviews as we were staying in Wroxham, only a 10 minute drive away. Staff were warm and welcoming throughout the meal. We both opted for the 3 meat roast which comes with an array of seasonal vegetables all beautifully seasoned and a huge Yorkshire pudding. We did manage to fit in a pudding - but only just as the roast was so filling. The Black Adder Cyder was very good. A lovely roast in a very nice country Inn. (Also on site are a Brewery and brewery shop.)

We came into the fur and feather as we had seen the Friday fish and chips deal advertised on there website for only £25 for a platter for two people. The fish goujons were very good, as were the mini sausage bites, scampi and chips. The curry sauce was cold. Ufortunately the fish fondue was dry with some sort of crushed peas on top... we were also meant to have fish cakes on the platter but they didn't have any , we were told this after our food came out and I questioned it. They were replaced with crab cakes but they came out really soggy. I have had the normal fish and chips from here and it was so good, so will stick to that in the future

Went twice over the weekend, Friday lunch time with family, party of 6. Quite expensive but the food was fresh and tasty. On Sunday, a party of 15 with family and friends, the food was delicious. Both visits the staff were professional and helpful. Food very tasty.

Once again we've enjoyed a great pint or three in this lovely pub. It is very welcoming and has a lovely garden. This occasion we had a meal and I have to praise the excellent steak and kidney pie made with wonderful crisp suet pastry. Delicious. This came with broccoli, heritage carrots peas and red cabbage, all of which were very tasty and the menu included mashed potatos. I chose not to have this but I suspect it too would be delicious. The other two in our party both enjoyed their meal equally as much as myself and it was washed down with first class beer. Service was great considering how busy it was with plenty of staff on hand. Highly recommended.

I'll keep it short.If you order fish and chips you get a plateful of food and a good portion of chips.If you are veggie/vegan you get a disappointing amount of chips in a tiny pot and a sad looking burger bun with no garnish to speak of,same as halloumi burger.Really disappointing for 17 quid compared to a sold filled Yorkshire pud and fish and chips for the same.Pork belly was tough and tasteless.Service slow especially clearing plates. Underwhelming for reputation and price

We had a table booked for 14:15 23/3/24 for lunch with my husband, our 2 year old son and our dog. When we walked in I asked a member of staff about our booking but she directed us to the bar and said she couldn’t help. The bar was in mayhem, there were people trying to order food, drinks, people trying to pay. It was very busy, no one was in charge there was no structure. When we got served we were told the card machine was broken and they can only take cash payments. We said that was fine and my husband drove to the nearest cash point to go get money out for our food. We sat down and we were informed that they would bring over some menus - no one returned. I went and got a menu and had to ask for a kids menu. They brought over some colouring pencils for our son. We were then told they would take our order at the table - another 20 mins passed, no order taken not even for a drink, so my husband went to the bar and ordered our food and drinks. After 1 hour from ordering no food arrived so I went to ask about our food as it was approaching 4pm and I was concerned my son hadn’t eaten. One of the staff members informed us that due to the card machine being broken the order on the till hasn’t seem to have gone through - which I couldn’t understand as everyone else seemed to get getting their food. I was extremely upset at this point as we had been there for 2 hours with no service so we left. I understand it was a difficult day with the card machine being down but there was no good level of service at all. No one took responsibility for our table - how could a member of staff not notice that we didn’t get our food when we were sitting right in front of the bar. There was a manager or potential owner running around on the phone the whole time trying to sort the card machine - was this appropriate? Could she not go into a quiet area and have that phone call. The manager or owner didn’t acknowledge us and we didn’t get an apology for the mistake with the food order. Very disappointing service. Such a shame as the area was so lovely. But what was meant to be a nice lunch out with my family on my only weekend day off work wasn’t a very pleasant experience. I personally wouldn’t even give them a second chance. I will never be back and I would not recommend this place! Compared to some of the other Norfolk pub / dining there is clear structure from the moment you come in. There is someone to greet you and seat you on arrival. No one came to our table in the 2 hours we had been there to check on us all to ask for drinks.

This is our second visit here, and it is well worth the effort. The options for vegetarians is a little limited, but the pizza I am told was excellent. My fish and chips was lovely; really fresh. The beer selection is obviously first class., and 1/3 of a pint taster glasses are an option if you want to try several. Our dogs were made welcome in the bar, and it was a really cosy place to be on a rainy Norfolk night. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We went to the pub in January to book a table in the dinning room, asked to see the plan and chose a table for four next to a window, as both men are extremely deaf. When we arrived the sitting plan had been changed and we were placed in the pub area. There was very little room to pull out the chairs and the noise was awful. When my husband asked the tall male waiter why we had been moved he was extremely rude and said there was going to be a wake. The men sat in silence and we two ladies had difficulty in hearing each other. Not a pleasant experience

Used to be one of our favourite places to go. Staff still wonderful, and the pub is still really nice and cosy. But the food has changed unfortunately, and not for the better. Aware I'm a minority opinion but this place used to serve really great, fresh, homemade vegetarian options alongside the meat dishes. The blackbean burger was honestly one of the best veggie burgers I've ever had, actually had flavour, seasoning, and decent portion. Chef has now gone the awful lazy route of replacing the decent veggie options with a Beyond Meat burger patty. Might as well just not serve a vegetarian option anymore. Same thing seems to be happening everywhere and its so disappointing. Nothing screams "we put no thought or care into our veggie dish you boring hippy" than just chucking in a slab of cardboard fake meat, worse still if it looks pinkish & like real meat. Vom. I can respect a chef who says "I don't cater to vegetarians", no probs, but if you do make out you're serving veggie options, then make as much effort as you would with the meat dishes please! I'm also paying for a delicious meal too, and not just an afterthought! Not sure if a change in chef as new ice cream dessert was a hot mess of flavours (honeycomb, raspberry, cranberry, and meringue with waffle bits...) and also bizarrely served on a piece of slate and melted all over the table, and the Sunday roast - we had one veggie, one meat version - were pretty chewy bland rubbish (nut roast was a reheated frozen crumble seed mix with cold spots throughout, lamb was waaaay overcooked and spuds tasted stale). Prob won't come again if this is a permanent change and wouldn't recommend for food anymore. Pub is still really nice though so if you go, the beer is great. Also, our waitress was really sweet and friendly (thanks!), and was trying to help with veggie options and melty icecream slate as best as she could. Hoping restaurant goes back to how it was.

Lovely setting. Was looking forward to this as having visited pubs and restaurants all over the area we hadnt yet tried here. Waiting staff were waiting when we arrived and was great they could seat us as we arrived 30mins early for our table. Atmosphere is lovely and couldnt fault the waiting staff. However, the food was so expensive for what it was. I had sea bass for mains and for £16 on my plate was 1 fillet of skinny sea bass (clearly not from a fishmonger but looked like a supermarket one) , 4 roasted tomatoes and a bulb of fennel. Im glad i changed the potatoes for chips otherwise i would of left starving! I would of at least expected 2 skinny sea bass fillets for that price. I hate moaning but this place seriously needs a price review on some of their dishes.

Been here twice this summer and both times the food was delicious. After a several year break following some average meals, this is now right up there with my favourite pubs to eat in Norfolk. Starters included a crispy fishcake in a pepper tomato sauce, moreish pork belly bites, mackerel fillet salad with mango salsa, all perfectly cooked. Mains included gammon steak cooked in Woodfordes Nog, steaks, confit pork belly, Caesar salad with hot smoked salmon, and pizzas. Many delicious dishes to recommend.Oh, and the obvious advantage of being in a brewery pub with great beers to choose from.

I booked a table for 10 people only to find at arrival that we were being seated at two separate tables,we obviously complained about this but the manager basically dismissed the situation and were told that they weren’t prepared to do anything about it - not a great start!The service was average at best and the food was ok other than the fact that most of the portions were far too small considering the price.Something else worth mentioning is the the gents toilets were partially flooded.Overall,this wasn’t a great experience. There are many places similar to the fur and feather which offer a far better menu,better service and better atmosphere.We will not be re-visiting here in a hurry and would suggest it would be a good idea to look to eat somewhere else.

Having booked a table for 5pm we duly arrived a few minutes early and was shown to a table. The table hadn’t been cleaned so I asked if the food spilled on the table and empty glasses could be removed. This was done and at 5.02 we went to order our roasts to be told they finish at 5. I asked how that was fair as they were delayed in taking our order due to an unclean table to which we were told “sorry it’s after 5”!! We then ordered drinks and then had to wait a further 25 minutes before our order was taken (during which time staff were hanging around chatting in the dining area. We therefore decided it would no longer be a pleasant dining experience paid for our drinks and left. If your last table is booked for 5 and you stop roasts at 5 then anyone booking a table at that time should have their order taken. We won’t be going back

Had a tour round the brewery, our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and the tour was very interesting. After the tour you get to sample 3 different types of Woodforde's beer each glass being a third of a pint. All were delicious.We combined this with lunch at the Fur and Feathers which was excellent. The food was top notch. Hubby had 10 oz Gammon steak cooked in Nog (one of the brewery beers) with duck eggs and chips, I had Chicken breast, fondant potato, wilted spinnach and celeriac covered with a creamy wild mushroom sauce. It was all delicious. Waiting staff were very good, and all very polite and helpful.I had actually bought my husband a gift voucher for Christmas for the tour and lunch or dinner. Lovely way to spend and afternoon.

The real ale was superb (we had Voltage) and there was a really good selection of food options to suit us all. Although there was not a separate children’s menu, you could ask for a child’s portion of anything there.We loved the food, we did not wait for too long and the service was brilliant.

Just returned from a 4 night boating trip on the broads and discovered The Fur and Feathers on our last night on Salhouse Broad. If we would have discovered it earlier I can honestly say we would have changed our plans to return.The pub itself is stunning with an amazing thatched roof. The staff were delightful - polite, helpful and quick with service. The beer needs little of a mention - a great pint. The food was excellent and served quickly. Sirloin steak was cooked spot on with a wonderful chargrilled flavour. My veggie wife loved the haloumi burger and my youngest demolished his burger. After gettin ripped off a couple of times on the broads the bill was more than reasonable for the quality and service. Well worth a visit and by far the best pub that we found on our hols.

Visited with family, bizarrely squeezed onto three outside tables when the rest were empty. Service was slow, drinks orders missed. My fish and chips were fine, for the price feel peas or some sort of side would be expected. My partner had the chicken breast, small portion of meat, it came with one potato and about three mushrooms, leaving him hungry, again not worth the price, especially when compared to other pubs. Have had lovely meals here in the past but wouldn’t come back now.

We enjoyed an excellent tour of the brewery by our charming guide Steve. It was informative to see all the equipment and processes needed to ensure the best products. We even got to smell the hops and malt as well as taste early beer samples. It really is an impressive set up with the proof of the tour in the sampling of many of their beers, so much so we had to nominate another driver. Well worth an early booking and visit, say hi to Steve who is living the dream!

We visited after promising our friends for months that we would go ......upon arriving we were greeted by professional and smiling staff.We explained that we really had only visited to sample the beers and would not be dining.....this was NO problem.We were not sure what to order so we were guided through the taster paddle third of a pint thing. (Three small glasses served on what looks like the end of an oar).... I like dark beer so a selection was made for me (and my male pal)...Our respective females liked light beer and were given a selection of these.We had more than one of these each to check all the beers were acceptable The staff were excellent for the whole of our visit, they were attentive without being intrusive even though it was very busy.We did have a wander around the shop and made a few purchase's (where the assistant was equally as helpful as the rest of the staff).Every time a meal was wafted past us on the way to another table we were envious, so this will be addressed soon!Thank you to all for making it an enjoyable day for us, and for living up to the promise that I had said you would, for our guests for the weekend.

This is a very pleasant pub to spend a summer's evening sitting outside. We found the staff really friendly and helpful. The drinks were very good but this wasn't matched by the food. The steak was overcooked and lukewarm and the pizza was very bland and needed pepping up with some more ingredients/flavour.I would go back though, due to the nice setting.

Nice food & location but service was extremely slow & the staff were just not interested in serving you, and not bothered about service. Took an hour to order coffees after meal, despite going to the bar to be told someone would come & serve outside, took forever, and no apology. Sat outside and seating area was undercover, inside, the area is shabby & tired, glad we sat outside. If the food wasn't OK, would have been really disappointed.

We were staying in the area and decided to visit this lovely venue despite reading negative reviews. To be quiet honest we could not fault anything, food and service were both excellent and we were able to dine within the bar area with our dog. The food was beautifully presented and the steak cooked to perfection. The local Woodfords beer was delightful and we chose the Argentinian Malbec, which accompanied our meal perfectly. Will definitely visit again.

My Husband and I have been on a LOT of Brewery Tours and always think how good it is is dependent not only on what information you get told and what the beer tastes like, but also - How good the tour guide is and in this instance, Steve was awesome.We spent a good 1.5 hours walking around the (working) brewery, firing loads of questions at Steve - all of which he answered really well, but then spent a very enjoyable time sitting on the tables at the front of the pub, enjoying lots of different beers - then the really fun bit came as lots of our tour starting talking to each other (and with Steve) and it was more like a friendly reunion than a group of strangers on a tour. Even though the Covid restrictions have been relaxed, Steve wore a face guard and 80% of the people on our tour wore a mask (I appreciate one was exempt and as for the other two.... I guess that's personal choice). Felt very safe and Steve always said 'This is a tight space, if you don't want to come in this room, that's absolutely fine'. Fab tour, would highly recommend and would gladly do it again.

Four of us had booked a table for lunch and were seated inside the restaurant area as all the outside tables had already been reserved. The staff were prompt, efficient and very friendly. We all had different main courses and with three of us being pesco- vegetarians that is not always possible, but it has a varied and interesting menu. I opted for the Brie, mushroom and onion tart with fresh salad and it was absolutely delicious. Desserts too were well presented and tasty. We were aware that some previous reviewers had complained about having to wait to order drinks and food and obviously the staff were aware of this and made every effort to be prompt and efficient. I would recommend visiting the Fur and Feather and will certainly eat there again.

Great place where you can enjoy and buy the beer of Woodforde Brewery as well as order tasty food- especially the burgers. The staff were friendly and efficient. A very enjoyable evening and well worth hunting out.

We have been to many pubs during during our weeks stay on the broads and this is by far the best. A young set of staff who have obviously been well trained. They make you feel like nothing is too much trouble. Very knowledgeable about the menu. Great beer and food. Wonderful surroundings. All in all our favourite place.

Amazing place in Norfolk where you can enjoy 5 star quality beer, along with great food. The staff is very nice and friendly and you can buy the beer of Woodforde Brewery at any time of the day. I enjoyed a very tasty burger with a selection of the craft beers they produced. A very happy evening indeed!

Stumbled across this pub after leaving Salhouse Broad and being partial to Woodforde’s Wherry it was a no-brainer to swing in for a couple of halves. The roof of the pub is one of the best sculpted thatches I’ve seen. Next door is the Woodforde’s Brewery shop.

Very smooth operation backed up by its own fantastic microbrewery. Food was good without being outstanding and the tomato and smoked aubergine risotto seemed to have a distinct absence of the latter. Definitely worth visiting and we would (and hopefully) will go again.

Dinner for 4. Wasnt too busy. Staff really friendly. Food really fresh and we had different dishes. Prices were right for amount of food. Only issue was coffee too strong for a laté. Will definitely come back. Better than my partner's aunt's pub.

Myself and my wife stopped here for lunch today but wasn’t a good experience. We were greeted promptly and sat at an outside table the sun was shining and it was beautiful. The waitress took our drinks order and from then on it went downhill. Approximately 25 minutes to get our drinks, the staff were apologetic apparently the tablets had been malfunctioning all week! My wife had the rump steak which was ok but not very hot. I had the pan roasted chicken with fondant potato, celeriac and spinach with a cream sauce. Whilst it tasted lovely the chicken was small and over cooked, the celeriac was in very small pieces and roasted to virtually nothing and the fondant potato was approximately 50mm round by 15mm thick. The portions were very small for a main and not worth the £15 charged. Needless to say I left feeling hungry.

We really liked this place. We went on a Tuesday, it wasn't busy when we got there at 6.15pm but was at 7.45pm so you'll need to book. The staff were friendly, nice spacious place and the menu was a fair choice. There is no children's menu but our 8 year old was fine, the staff just did a smaller portion at a reduced cost. The food was well cooked and arrived quickly, excellent pie. There wasn't many children there at all but we didn't feel out of place, I would definitely go again - we only visited the restaurant and not the brewery part

I have seen quite a lot of negative feedback recently on here for the Fur and Feather. I could not fault the service, quality of food, speed of service or fine ales. We booked a table for 2pm in the bar on Sunday, but as the weather was so gorgeous, we asked if we could sit in the garden instead. This wasn’t a problem and we were shown to a table that had been sanitised. We were also told that there was an hour wait on food, but due to the nice weather we were happy to sit in the sun and have a drink. Our drinks order was taken and our drinks arrived promptly. Someone then came quickly to take our food order, and our starters arrived 15 minutes later which was a lot sooner than expected. I chose the roasted beetroot and blue Binham cheese salad which was delicious and tasty.Our plates were then cleared away in a timely manner and our main course arrived probably another 20 minutes later. Again quicker than expected. I had the sea bass served with crushed new potatoes, celeriac and roasted tomatoes - again delicious, We did not have dessert as we were both too full, but had another round of drinks to continue soaking up the beautiful weather. I have to say that the young men and ladies that were waiting on, were absolutely brilliant! They worked so hard backwards and forwards and we were never left with empty glasses. Everyone was so polite, friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. My husband asked one young man what ales were available and he relayed the whole list with the ABVs too - a brilliant memory! These young people are a credit to the establishment, so thank you.Everything also felt really safe in COVID times and it was so nice to see tables being sanitised as soon as they were vacated and people were only shown to tables when they had been cleaned. This was my husbands birthday meal and although we have visited a few times before on holiday, this visit was the best ever. Thank you so much for what you are doing to try to keep going as normal. We will definitely be back next time we are on holiday.

Booking was very easy online. Our were made to feel welcome and have no complaints about service and wait times. There was ample choice for vegetarians and all sounded great. We just wished we lived closer to sample more. The food was delicious.As expected there was a great choice of beer. Don’t forget the sample paddle!Great location, great beer and food, I can’t think of any negatives.

Table was booked for 12:45. Ordered drinks, waiter came 15 minutes later and had to retake drink order as there’s ‘an issue with the tills’. Ordered food and drinks at 1:00, drinks arrive at 1:10. Gets to 1:30 no food, waiter offers to check where it’s up to and never comes back to us. Have to chase three times with no ETA given, 2:10 passes. We give up and leave after paying for drinks. Very few waiters on the floor, they blamed the kitchen the kitchen blamed the tills, everything’s someone else’s issue. Over and hour for food, and the saddest part is we’d only ordered cheesy chips for our kids.Left with no apology and daughter in tears having to wait that long. Never again.

This place was a real find for us whilst on holiday. We loved it so much we dinned on two consecutive evenings. They have a great Chef who has imagination and can certainly cook. My parents had restaurants and my Son has a fine dining restaurant in London so you could say I am extremely critical and have high standards. Well done to all the Team who make this a very special place.

Dined here last week, menu is awful. Nothing to choose from, and what we did have tasted & looked disgusting on top of being freezing cold. Far cry from when we've eaten here the last few years. Dont get me started on the staff. Used to be a lovely bunch of people here that were always happy to serve and knew about the beer. Not this time, not even sure the staff knew they sold beer!

We came in today for a Father’s Day meal and sadly it was very disappointing. The food took 50 minutes to arrive (no one told us there was a wait on food) and when it did arrive it was cold. We sent our cokes back as the syrup had gone in them and they came back exactly the same. The restaurant was not even full as I could understand a wait in a busy period. I had to get up twice to ask for drinks and the bill. We didn’t bother ordering puddings as we were totally fed up. Sadly we will not return.

Fur and Feather could be and used to be so much better. Although the staff seemed to be trying really hard, they didn’t seem to have a clue what they were doing.As a brewery tap I’d really like for the staff to know about the beers they had on tap (and what they were for that matter) and to know about the menu.Food wise, the vegan options are severely lacking (1 option, didn’t have all the ingredients for that). I had a ciabatta and was very happy with it, however my partner had a BLT and it was served in the crappiest sliced white bread even though the menu offered a choice of bread.I really like this pub, it’s in a great location and looks beautiful. Please up your game, it could be amazing with a bit more staff training!

Firstly, this pub is open for food in the evenings, despite what it says above on the TripAdvisor app. This meant that we nearly missed out on a great dining experience while cruising the Norfolk Broads.We moored at Salhouse Broad and the Fur and Feather is about a 25 min walk along woodland path (and then about 1/2 mile on quiet back road). This is a very picturesque pub and we managed to reserve a table inside and luckily had plenty of choice on a Tuesday evening. There was a good choice of meals on the menu and three of us enjoyed the steak and ale pie (with chunky chips!) and my wife had a Beet and Oat patty, which was a nice vegetarian option. The puddings we had were all nice and the beer and service we received (particularly from the Duty Manageress) were all great. Would therefore gladly recommend to fellow boaters and drivers alike!

Ate here last year and it was lovely, food hot, cooked well, presented well but this year was the complete polar opposite.this year, no mention about checking into the venu regarding covid so we self checked in via our apps.Food tunred up after 1hr and 15 mins but stone cold, not even warm and starters looked like they had been kicked around the floor, no honestly.We sent the stone cold mains back and after another 30 mintes replacements were sent out but super greasy so ate about half, drnak up and left and unfotunately will not be back. Real shame.

Booked a table for midday and arrived 5 minutes early. Were shown to a great little patio area but the promise of menus and taking our drinks order never arrived. I ended up getting the menus myself and reminding a waitress that we still hadn’t had our drinks order taken after we had been seated for 30 minutes. Tables coming in after us were being served before us. The food was great, large portions and good quality. It’s a shame everything was so disorganised - staff should have been given certain roles however all staff members seemed to be doing each other’s jobs and there was such confusion. Add to this a hornets nest in the timbers of the roof which we told a staff member about and we won’t be returning.

Living local we often cycle past here. Last year on two occasions we attempted to visit here. First occasion seated outside we were totally ignored so decided to leave. Second occasion after chasing down a staff member we placed orders (for drinks only) waited 40 minutes nothing arrived so we left once again! Today tried to order drinks outside, the app did not work said could not find location!? My husband approached a member of staff and requested two drinks as the app wasn’t working. He was asked if we had booked, when he replied no, he was told we can’t accommodate you!? There must have been 12-15 empty tables, we only required drinks??? So we left for the third and final time! We will also ensure we share our shocking experiences with others whom would possibly frequent here. Disgusting attitudes from the few & far between staff. I even tried calling to complain but no one answered the telephone. I will take my custom elsewhere. Never again! AVOID

Had a great meal. They catered well for dairy intolerant teenager. Younger waiting staff friendly and attentive. Only disappointment came when dairy intolerant teenager had 3 scoops of sorbet. It stated one scoop icream/ sorbet £2 or 3 scoops £3. So ordered 3 scoops. The bill states 7.50 for 3 scoops of sorbet. Queried it and waitress spoke to manager who agreed to discount £3. So we still paid £4.50 for sorbet when it clearly stated £3 for 3 scoops. If sorbet is £1.50 a scoop it should state that on the menu!

Bungled the booking it which in fairness they sorted. The game pie was disappointing. It looked like something you may have got at a chippy. A lot of pastry, filling almost minced and not much of it served with warm potatoes and frozen peas!

A great, safe outdoor venue with the added bonus of heaters!! Now, the food is another matter...it is perfectly fine but extremely overpriced. I have allergies and needed to make some omissions to my burger meal and aso needed to replace the fries with an alternative (which they charged me for)...I do think £17 for a burger (minus the trimmings) is a bit steep! I will return but won't be eating!

Excellent service this evening at the Fur and Feather! I have coeliac disease and this was the first outing since my diagnosis so I was very nervous going out to eat, but the waiter was excellent. He put my mind at rest straight away that they handle food in a completely separate area and have a separate frier for deep frying chips etc. He also informed the chef straight away and provided me with an allergen matrix to put my mind at rest further. They were even able to substitute cheese for a vegan alternative as I am also lactose intolerant. Really good tasty food and one of the best gluten free burger buns I’ve tried yet! The drinks were great too (I am told the beer was fab), definitely worth a trip!

Booked for a birthday lunch during restrictions. A cold, damp day but the sun arrived with us. Greeted warmly and taken to our sheltered outdoor table with heater above. Menus brought and drinks ordered. Arrived quickly. Lots of happy customers on other tables. Quiet but a good trade for a damp day. Our meals were fantastic. Beautiful in presentation. The v cut chips are super. Great Brie burger. The Cajun chicken chibatta and fish goujons amazing. Polite hard working staff. Perfect. We will be returning.

We really enjoyed the Experience of afternoon tea at the Pub. Fresh variety of sandwiches and home made cakes scones and brownies. Service was great attentive but not imposing. It was a lovely sunny afternoon so eating outside was fine but the option to sit in the new heated covered area was available. We stayed and had a beer and a cider in the sunshine and watched the world go by

Firstly - we love this place, we visited several times last year and the year before and have seen it become a top pub and restaurant over the last few years! It seems like during the last lockdown they have changed everything - staff, menu and it felt nothing like the place of old. It's upset me so much that I even made my first Trip Advisor review so the management at Woodfordes can see it!Firstly the staff were like headless chickens. None of them seem happy anymore. Was there even any management around?! They were confused, noone could tell me procedures or even help with my questions.Secondly, the menu was ridiculous. This place is known for having a great selection and having local dishes - proper food and big portions - why are you only offering burgers & pizzas? Did you get rid of your chef in lockdown and now just using microwave technicians?Finally, I tried to buy something from the shop and must have waiting 10 minutes. Staff saw me (about 6 of them inside the puv just chatting) and they ignored me.Sorry - but your competitors have managed to reopen and offer the same service they had before so I wont be coming back.

We had a spontaneous trip out and stopped at the Maltsters Pub , we were hungry so decided to order the Roast Beef. Oh my God was it good, the Beef melted in the mouth and it looked as good as it tasted. Staff were friendly and did their very best to look after us while we were there. We will be coming back to try more, my waistline may not thank me though. Unfortunately I didn’t take any photos of my food as I was hungry and tucked in!

Stopped here for a quick bite in the evening whilst passing through. Limited menu, I had pie and chips. It was hot and tasty so no complaints. I sat at a small corner table and when I went to put my bag on the floor my elbow got caught up in a whole nest of cobwebs that ran floor to ceiling. Moved to a different table and when I looked at the carpet it was glistening with slug slime! Yes you read that right!! Trails and trails of slug slime all over the carpet. I went to put my bag on the chair next to me. The chairs are covered with faded pink felt like fabric that would have been all the rage in the 70s but it was thick with long hairs all trapped in the fabric. The window sills were covered with dead flies. The bar man - am I allowed to say man in these politically correct times?? The bar person / server was however very friendly, welcoming and polite. Very depressing place, definitely needs a clean and makeover.
