  1. Ditto We were in a while ago and the landlord was brilliant, far from trying to boot us out early he positively encouraged us to stay, not quite that late but late enough. Green Jack beers were often on too
  2. As Easter is fast approaching we will hopefully see some activity soon. Any updates much appreciated as always
  3. I can see Jean's point of view here. Certainly in my experience of visiting pubs, owners are mostly very responsible and keep their pets under control. Although we don't have a dog ourselves we do like dogs and Mrs N usually has dog biscuits in her bag. Many pubs have a sign to say dogs must be kept on a lead and/or well behaved dogs are welcome. It's maybe a bit like boaters and fishermen, a bit of mutual respect goes a long way!
  4. I hope so too. Pubs that don't allow dogs are missing a trick I think. I've never been in the Granary, just wonder if it's very small inside which might make it less suitable for dogs. Having said that the majority of micro pubs which I visit are almost always dog friendly. Hope he has some beer on too. Oh, and the old chestnut that they serve food is not a valid excuse. Of course operators are free to make their own rules.
  5. Good move if there's no beer on I'd have gone for Guinness, I'm sure the White Horse will have made up for it though
  6. No truer word spoken!!! Try doing it with Dave (Janet Ann) watching
  7. I agree, Neatishead is probably 40 foot (ish) wide. So turning on the ropes is only feasible when there is space at the other side. If you're careful it can be done with a relativly small gap. However the only other option is either to reverse in or reverse out. I chickened out and reversed out in the morning when no one was watching Of course it went perfectly.........
  8. We encountered a very considerate fisherman at Neatishead in February. We always approach slowly, he asked if we wanted the Staithe, Mrs Nog indicated we did. He moved his rod for us, we pulled in, moved down and gently turned the boat on the ropes before mooring. I have also reversed out before now. But it's possible that if a boater doesn't want to turn the boat or reverse out they will moor at the top. As Griff says, a bit of condsideration can work both ways. Incidentally we often turn the boat on the ropes but it's suprising the number of folk who don't seem to understand what we are doing.

    Flooding

    Not the Broads obv but levels in York pretty much back to normal. The Kings Arms pub had water over the windows not long ago
  10. Looks like you'll have to change your handle and aviator to Fullers https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2024/03/asahi-to-close-meantime-brewery/
  11. We were out a couple of weeks ago and were certainly struck by the apparent intensity of fishing - just wonder if they are trying to cram as much in before 15th?
  12. Well done Phil and Ness and the team, richly deserved
  13. That makes a change!!
  14. Splendid idea. They don't boot you out too early either. Sounds like Ludham is running at a fairly steady 7 feet or thereabouts at the moment.
  15. That makes sense, probably why they didn't know when we asked. Usually we manage to find a corner in Faircraft Loynes yard though. Trouble is, if you're on the crane side, they close the barrier so it's quite a long walk round.
  16. Thanks Jean and hopefully get through the bridge this time in May. Don't want Mrs Nog to have to walk to Coltishall again
  17. Funnily enough we asked out of curiosity (moored in Faircraft Loynes yard) No one seemed to know. It was 10 quid many years ago. Bet it's nearer 20 now. Be interesting to know though.
  18. Aw, that's a shame, I understand. Looks like you're on the middle section? Nice quiet spot. If I was still there I'd nip up to the F and F and bring a Notfolk Nog back for you
  19. Certainly is Simon! Counting down already
  20. I always moor side on at Salhouse in the winter. Shouldn't be a problem as there are so few boats about. Fur and Feather or the Stag? Footpath a bit muddy at the mo!
  21. Lucky you! Please keep us posted. Sorry the posts are bit pub-centric but the scenic pictures don't seem the same in the rain! Must try harder in May. Forgot to mention, Bridgecraft were superb again and really helpful. Top yard
  22. Thanks M and P, and good philosophy We're back in May so counting down the days, just hope it's less damp! Raining again now, does it ever stop!
  23. Mrs Nog doesn't do things by half
