JennyMorgan Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 There is some speculation that families might be able to come on holiday to the Broads at Easter this year. However, there also appears to be a realisation that pubs and the like won't be open until later in the year. Will you come if nowhere is open?

NeilB Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 We’re due on Moonlight Shadow the 2nd week of Easter, while it would be good to visit a few pubs we’ll be ecstatic just to be on the Broads. We’ll just find a few quiet moorings with a bottle or two and watch the world go by. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScrumpyCheddar Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yes definitely.... I would turn the boat into a floating bar 🤣🤣.. Saying that it always is when I’m on board... Roll on June ... Cheers 🍻 Everyone 🍻🍻🍻🍺🥂🍷🥃🤪🤪🤪🍹 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Seriously I love cruising and being on the Broads. But I'd be like a lost sheep. I never drink on a boat. I'd moor up and be looking for the pub. I enjoy walking so would probably do that. I'd still find it very difficult. We are booked with Bridgecraft in May. The holiday may be in the balance anyway but Johnson and his crew have certainly got it in for the pubs so I'm not holding out much hope.

marshman Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I am not sure that anyone has it in for anyone especially, but it does seem that masks and social distancing might still be the order of the day. And where would you see those rules being broken most often? Even if they are told not to? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2021 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yes. Due on the Broads in April (deferred from last year!). More than happy to moor up in a quiet spot and dine in with a bottle of wine. More worried it'll be busy and quiet spots hard to find. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rightsaidfred Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yes everytime, while we eat in pubs very occasionaly they are not an essential for us either at home or on the boat. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yes, desperate to get back to the Broads. We rarely go to pubs locally anyway, so though we enjoy eating out at various Broads pubs, not being able to visit pubs isn’t that high on our priority list. We’re just wanting some cruising time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcat Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I'll be glad to get back on Lady Emma when the time comes. Would love to support the local Pubs as well and will do so as and when we can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Yes when allowed it would be great to be back on the water be it the Broads or the canals, I only use the pubs for meals and because we visit the boat out of season you always have to have a backup plan for meals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catcouk Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I'd go if everything was closed! Just a change of scenery would be great - and Broads have a great scenery!

grendel Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 yes, even if i had to bring all my food for the week, and avoid everyone else I would be there in a heartbeat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQ Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 When I used to live elsewhere, and come down to my boat, I never visited a pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that anyway. Each to his own. I am sure the pubs will re-open when safe to do so. I can sympathise with Howard as he does love to visit the pubs around the Broads.

Cal Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 We are due to pick up a hire boat on the Thames on good Friday. I would prefer not to be able to go if the pubs are going to be shut. For us visiting pubs waterside and not is part of our holiday. As much as we like being on the water on the boats we also want to enjoy the towns and villages that we pass through and for us that includes the pubs. Honestly I would rather Boris didn't open holiday accommodation for Easter if the pubs can't also be open. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broads01 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 It's another yes from me. I have a hire booked for 27th March which looks certain to be postponed but I'd gladly come with no pubs. Pubs are normally part of the holiday but being on the Broads is the most important thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
