Eating Out

[Bob48]

, hopefully if we can get under the bridge , we shall be having a meal in the Rising Sun at Coltishall on Saturday, anybody got any info about the prices and quality ?

Hi Bob,

Have a look at the Kings Head link http://www.kingsheadcoltishall.co.uk/fine-dining      its next door to the Rising Sun.

Yes I think the pedigree of the Kings Head (and the Recruiting Sergeant too) are worth a thought.

When we're at Coltishall it's always either the King's Head or a (delivered to the boat) curry from Ali Spice - 01603 266133. 'Nuff said.

how far from the moorings is the Recruiting Sergeant ?

[TheQ]

According to the measuring device on Google maps 1400 yards (following the road). I must admit I do like the food at the  Recruiting Sergeant, you'd come back a bit heavier than you left, even with the walk both ways!!

Bob,

It's just short of a mile by road from the King's Head to the Recruiting Sergeant.  Quite a lot less if you go right to the end of the navigable river (but watch out for weeds!).  The Recruiting Sergeant.is on the roundabout on the B1150 Coltishall road and Buxton road (and Mill road).

Hi Bob,

Watch out for those distances on the Norfolk Broads, those Norfolk Miles are a killer, every time we have walked anywhere it takes ages and almost all the roads end up taking you to Brigadoon or back to "The Village"

Sorry, peeps. In my post above I meant to add that they have a Senior's lunchtime menu, two courses at £5.95.

The f&c let alone the pud, is really good value as it's  £11.95 on the normal menu. And no, they're  not  smaller portions!

Like you, Iain I have 50% Scotch in my blood!

The Soggy Seagull is  quite similar to the Bure Gold and is 4.2%.....

Off topic a little, but I'm told that if you're ever in Brussels this is the best place to eat out.
