Any Recommended Lunch Stops?

[Sladonians]

Morning all,

Getting back on the Broads after nearly 30 years and can’t wait. My fun begins next week picking up my newly purchased Leisure 20 from Stalham and talking a very leisurely (excuse the pun, completely intentional) cruise via Ludham Bridge to the mooring I’ve secure at Ranworth. 

Looking to the forum for advice on a suitable recommended stop for some lunch, pub or cafe etc. 

Also, I have (or will have) VHF on board and wondered if many / any Broads boaters use VHF (I know some marinas and bridge operators do) accepting its not for general ‘chit chat’, or should I install a CB if this is more widely used to reach out to fellow Broads boaters?

Much appreciated,

A very keen Leisure Owners Group on the Broads, might be worth searching out. Not sure what use VHF will have on the North Rivers but down South we have a number of bridges that, depending on mood, swing open and, ofcourse, you might be tempted to do the sea trip from Lowestoft to Yarmouth, 7miles.
