The Fur and Feather Inn, Woodbastwick

Sorry but I can't recommend this pub. We arrived at 12.30 on a Saturday having booked a table in the restaurant. It. Took at least 15 minutes to get staff to check what table we were on. Their attitude was that it was too much trouble. Clearly they were very busy but a smile is not too much to ask. We found our own table and menus and sat down. After 15 minutes we were told that we had to order at the bar. It would have been helpful if staff had said this when we arrived. We were able to order some food but the staff had wrongly placed an order for starter size meals not main courses. This was sorted out by the one decent member of staff. Meal was ok. Beer was good as I would expect. Dirty glasses were a nice accompaniment. As locals, we will not be going here again.

This pub is situated in a delightful setting and serves excellent beer. The problem seems to be with the food. We ordered and ate in the restaurant. The vegetarian tart when it arrived was a tiny slice barely big enough for a starter - it had been ordered as a main course. It did not taste very good according to the member of our group who ordered it. The response of the staff was to provide an additional slice - this tasted equally bad. The other main course dishes we tried were reasonable if a bit underseasoned. The puddings were excellent.
