Woodforde Brewery's Shop Is Moving

[SwanR]

Yesterday we stopped into the brewery shop behind the Fur and Feathers for probably the last time this year. Whilst chatting to the lovely ladies serving us, they mentioned that they are moving. From possibly late October, but more likely late November, and definitely by next season, they will be inside the pub. Sounds like it's a trial as they don't think enough people find them in their current location. And if the weather is bad then people also don't bother to walk round there.

They don't want to compete with the pub but are planning also to have a tearoom.

I asked if I could share this on the forum and they said yes, please do. I think they are trying to get the message out so that people don't turn up and think they have disappeared.

We certainly wish them well with this. If successful they are hoping that they may build an extension onto the pub to house them at some future point.

We've been looking at the online store this week as Kaz has took a liking to the Werry at whilst in the Bridge Inn.

I checked with them as to the collect in store was as it wasn't clear.

But I can get 3 off 9pint tins delivered free so will be getting some delivered.

Not sure how that's going to work,okay the shop is not that large.What then will happen to the shop.This year we only found out about the Ale trail by accident. In fact in the end could not be bovered,infact some pubs that in the past took part did not know any info.In the past they used to email me and send me a news letter now and again.Not heard anything for over a year.

Maybe some changes are on the way. Remember the business changed hands in 2016 and nothing much seems to have happened. I remember reading at the time that the new owners wanted to expand their drink at home business.

Quite a bit has happened in fairness...

The brand has been repositioned to appeal to a broader audience and they have been busy building the new bottling plant.

My husband has tried quite a number of their beers and mostly enjoyed them all. I've found some really nice cordials that they sell in there as well, although I know that those aren't specific to the brewery and are sold in other places too. But as someone who doesn't really drink alcohol they make a very refreshing change.

Do they allow dogs in the pub now? We’re heading up soon and will probably do our first night at Salhouse so could take the pup for a walk up to the pub.

Have to agree. OK, the shop is not massive but then neither is the pub. I wonder how they are going to accommodate diners, especially in bad weather when the outdoor area is unavailable and people wanting to wander round looking at sweatshirts and carry out products. 

Does this mean the shop range is going to be reduced I wonder?

Don’t think so.

Oh well, we don’t really have any non dog friendly pubs down here near Brighton, but it seems they’re a lot more common up in Norfolk. No matter, a few beers on the boat it will be then!

Lovely stuff, it's a nice walk up from the moorings to the pub.

Have they changed their policy then? It’s always been strictly no dogs inside the pub but ok in the garden. Do you know when this changed Jayfire?

I just had a look at Tripadvisor and see there is an entry for this month from someone who visited with dogs, even a dog treat jar on the bar. That is good news and certainly a turnaround by the pub. Thanks Jayfire!

with a name like fur and feathers, I hope they also let parrots in

Well there was a bird serving behind the bar last time we went in.
