The Shed Wroxham

[ExSurveyor]

I see on Facebook that the Shed is closing on Friday 28th.

Never been but I know others use it.

That's a shame, we went in quite often. Preferred it when they had all the beers though. I wonder why it's closing. It has closed in the past so you never know. They should never have closed the Castle!

I think I read somewhere that it was up for sale !

Ah, might be hope then. It would leave Wroxham with no pub at all. The Shed always seemed more popular with the locals.

We actually managed to get  to the Shed on one of our trips. We were on a hire boat and managed to moor in Faircraft as it wasn't a change over day which virtually limits you to Sunday and Wednesday. Subsequent trips we were on a hire boat and, as Wroxham is pants for moorings and the Shed didn't have their own we gave it a swerve.

 

It's a real shame that Wroxham doesn't really cater for private boats but oh well, there are plenty of other places that want our money.

It is indeed up for sale and has been for a little while, so not sure why the current tenant is closing, unless the freeholder has terminated the tenancy, or not renewed the tenancy, to make it easier to sell.

If you can get under the bridge there are excellent BA moorings above the railway bridge and below the railway bridge there are stern on moorings. What is more, they are free moorings too. All the moorings are for both private and hire craft.

They need to demolish that bridge! build a new concrete one clad in the original stone with one foot more clearance  which would remove that hump and remove that steel monstrosity that lays on top we could all then use the shed and other businesses  in Hoveton/Wroxham John
