    Massive thumbs up to Bridgecraft, boat ran impeccably, very economical and heating fired up every day without the need to run the engine. Fantastic personal service from this family run yard, highly recommended :default_biggrin:

    Interesting the different perspectives. We like a meal out at lunchtime if we happen to be moored somewhere close by. But otherwise the pubs make no difference to us and are not what we’re looking for.  

    Fair comment Jean. If only say 25 per cent of a village supported a pub it would survive. We can't all like the same things!

    The debt ridden pubcos are trying to squeeze ever last drop out of their leaseholders. Add business rates, fuel, staff etc the pressure is certainly on pubs now. But the Red Lion in Cromer was rammed yesterday. Rick Malt has done an amazing job with the Lion and White Horse. On thr Broads it's often the pubco pubs that struggle eg Maltsters, New Inn etc. 

    But speaking personally if I have the choice of a well kept albeit five quid pint in a warm friendly pub or a pack of John Smiths at my kitchen table the pub wins hands down every time for me. 

    Mind you I might have to drink more slowly or put Mrs Nog on singles.... :default_icon_e_surprised:

    Management here tells me that it was a South Westerly

    Definitely a South Westerly! Blowing from the end of Faircraft Loynes yard. Fair bit of creaking but after a few St Giles gins Mrs Nog is sleeping like the proverbial top :default_norty:

    I see Malsters has closed its doors for good now.   Such a shame.

     

    I suspect Punch will advertise for a new tenant M but could take some time. I doubt anyone would take it on at this time of the year.

    I assume you moored at Salhouse earlier, Howard. Any other hire boats there?

    Nope :default_biggrin:

    I could count the fingers of one hand the number of any boats we've seen on the move this week. Not seen one hire boat anywhere. Peaceful bliss. Highly recommended Simon :default_beerchug:

    Have a try in my local the Stag (formally The Bell) at Salhouse Howard you will like. Make sure you book if eating as all the tables are set for dining and fully booked especially with the silly season upon us.

    Thanks for the heads up John. Not been in for a long time. What beer do they have on?
