    No info on the New Inn at Rockland. ?

    I would be interested to know too. We'll be down shortly so will do some investgating. I also intend to check out the Ram and we need to keep an eye on the Maltsters too. And there's the Ship at South Walsham......

    Use 'em or lose 'em! :default_beerchug:

    Sounds like I should stick to the Ferry House.

    I've never eaten at Coldham Hall - any feedback from there?

    Not much wrong with the Ferry House. 

    The beer quality at Coldham Hall is outstanding in my humble opinion. Not tried the grub unfortunately but if it's half as good as the beer it will be excellent :default_biggrin:

    Ha ha ... actually there's a very nice Shadow 26 for sale at NYA as well. If I had a spare £50k it might well be the one for me.

    Just had a browse on the NYA website. The Shadow boats are outstanding quality builds, there is one moored at Swancraft now which is a very recent build, stunning boat. Just not so keen on the canopy and the slightly higher air draught. Those ex Faircraft Loynes ones look to be twins of the Evening Lights, I bet they were all built as a batch. Either way, just need those numbers!

    One can dream :default_biggrin: Maybe need to persuade Mrs Nog to drink singles......:default_norty:

    Ha ha! Yes, I intend to give the local pubs my fullest support Simon and will of course report back! :default_beerchug:

    And I'm sure that Mrs Nog will be sampling a few large gins too :default_drink_2:

    No, all being well we will be aboard Humber Bridge again from the excellent Bridgecraft. Great winter boat, really cosy. Watch this space.......

    Not yet, has it reopened then? :default_rofl::default_coat::default_beerchug:

    Ha ha!!! I can see that in the interest of research I will have to check out the Ram personally. :default_beerchug:

    We're back shortly, so I'll make a priority of paying it a visit. I've been in many times over the years but I think of late with Covid and changes of management its not really had a lot of stability. The White Heron could do with some competition anyway :default_norty:

    You've got to love this forum, a thread about The Ram at Brundall and most of the posts are about The Ferry Surlingham and The Waters Edge Bramerton.

    Couldn't agree more :91_thumbsup:

    Try it and judge for yourself, don't rely on old out of date reviews.

    Very fair point

    p.s. I like upmarket if it’s welcoming to all. 

    We moored up to empty moorings, the guy was out like a rat out of a trap, gave us a load of verbal, we never got a word in edgeways, he shouldn't be in the hospitality industry IMHO

    Good intersting posts :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

    When we turned up the moorings were empty. 

    This guy has/or had attitude, maybe need to be a gin palace or a brand new boat. Agree with Malcolm, Ferry House, what's not to like.

    Good news about the Waters Edge 

    The only pub I've ever been thrown out from before I even got in!! 

    We had sommat similar, got berthed alongside for an impromptu visit, got asked to leave before we got ashore!

    Never been back since

    Griff

    Yep! Exactly the same! I got the impression he didn't like hire boats, maybe he just liked customers to arrive  in a Merc or BMW!!! :default_norty:

    I seem to be getting a lot of emails from Hoseasons with various offers at the moment, almost every day. 

    I wonder if bookings are a bit slow? 

    I always book direct with Bridgecraft (as I did with Swancraft) so never really have any dealings with them. Just wondered.

    Sorry to hear about your heating. We rely totally on the boat heating in winter and, touch wood, never have a problem. It starts every morning without running the engine and pretty much runs all day if we need it. Not sure which type of heater Bridgecraft use. I think the batteries need to be well topped up though, even if they're in good condition. If the voltage drops below a certain level the heating wont work. We do a lot of mileage in winter, we go down South and often cruise for 4 or 5 hours a day. I'm not a technical expert and there are many on here with much more knowledge than me but I just wonder if it might simply be the batteries running a bit low. Could be wrong, i usually am!
