Andrewcook Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 As to counting the Days till 12th April will there still be restriction's? As for Pubs Beer Garden Only but are there still Take a way's till March? As for restaurants that may be still be far off. As for Day Boats already on the Water will there still be restriction on Four to Six on Per Persons on till July or beyond I think? As the Rules are for ever changing that worries me a lot even having theses Jabs to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 We realised on Thursday (it was our 34th anniversary) that it was exactly a year since we had eaten out anywhere. Last year we went to a local hotel for lunch and couldn't understand why we were the only people in the enormous dining room overlooking the river on a beautiful Spring day. Although the lockdown was yet to materialise people were obviously wary of going out and about. Pre Covid we used to eat out at least twice a week so as you can imagine we have missed that. So we thought we'd get a takeaway last Thursday.It was o.k. but that's about the best that can be said for it. We're really looking forward to the freedom of going out again, whenever that will be.

Carole Like you, our anniversary is also in March and for the last 3 years (2018-20) we have booked an evening meal on the 21st at the Bridge Inn Acle, which is our favourite venue on the North Broads. Last year, we were so disappointed to get a phone call the day before to say that as the lock-down was due to start on the 22nd, they were closing on the 20th. So it looks like we can next go for our anniversary there in 2022. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 We have had meals out from time to time as and when restrictions have allowed. More recently we have had Chinese takeaway delivered from Horning and that’s been a real treat. Great food delivered fresh and hot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoggy Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Last I heard from surlingham ferryhouse was planning on garden service 11.00am to 8.00pm with limited menu, that will do for me till the big open up, at least we'll be able to moor up and get fed and slaughtered watered with leccy plugged in so my poor batteries get a toasting, I'll just have to take the telly again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 I was reading this morning that the Riverside Kitchen next to Hotel Wroxham is under new ownership, completely revamped and renamed Riverside Tea Room and Coffee Shop, keeping it simple and pooches welcome. Looking forward to giving them a go when we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard that the previous owners had shut down because of Covid restrictions and that their lease was due to renewed at a rate that would not make their endeavours profitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jayfire Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 The Kings Arms at Ludham are waiting to hear from the landlords to see if they are prepared to do a partial rent deal, they are really dragging their feet however. They will post on their Facebook page as soon as they hear anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Your diligence does you credit Mr Fire Sir Please keep up the good work as I suspect it will be something of a moving feast Do hope the Bridge can get the staff trained up which I'm sure they can. Arguably the best run pub on the Broads (IMHO of course). Any news about the Dog? I think you mentioned a while back they would be closed until Easter? Anyway, won't the Waveney be more on your radar now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVIDH Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I found this Facebook site, which has lots of information/posts from the pubs and restaurants of the Broads. I learned for instance that The Bridge at Acle is having lots of enquiries to book outdoor tables, but is yet to start taking reservations. It could be a useful "noticeboard" for those of us who like to eat out on holiday. Food On The Norfolk Broads. It's a private group you have to register with. They let me in....speaks for itself https://www.facebook.com/groups/1114171121997055/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewcook Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 As the 12th April is fast approaching I do hope theses people going out to Pub Gardens Only and shops sensibly with distances still in place and Face Mask to be worn for some to come as it's been said on the News . hopefully by June the Lock Down is gone as this only leaves us all with this problem I think restrictions In what form does this takes?
