NorfolkNog Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Just a suggestion - should we try to keep this thread reasonably clear so Fireman Sam (or anyone else for that matter) could update us on pub openings as this is really useful information and handy to have in one place. Unless Mr Grendel feels like setting up a 'sticky' thread but that might be a big ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfire Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Cross Keys - Dilham Opening 12th April Due to limited tables outside booking is essential And will be running a reduced menu until fully open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Thanks for your good work Jay. We are hoping to be on MS from 1st May and have plans to go north (hopefully for longer than we managed last September). All this info on pubs opening is very helpful.

BrundallNavy Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Taken from Martham boats website, has something changed as I thought from April the 12th overnight stays were possible. These are unprecidented times, and just a few days ago we were focusing on preparing ourselves to deliver safe, boating holidays to our guests. We have continued to monitor the situation and the Government advice closely, always mindful of our duty to protect our staff, our guests and our local community. Over the last 48 hours there has been an increasing and understandable concern in local communities towards holiday visitors, and the government has re-stated guidance that there should be no unnecessary or non essential travel. The non-essential travel guidance now includes the following statement "...visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays. People should remain in their primary residence."https://www.gov.uk/government/news/covid-19-essential-travel-guidance Therefore, it is now clear to us that the government guidance precludes guests from travelling to us and has thereby effectively temporarily suspended our boating holidays operation. We will be contacting guests with bookings in the coming weeks in order to try to find alternative dates for holidays later on in the year, and we will endeavour to do this each week for those holidays that are 6 weeks out if you have not sought to contact us first. For the moment the yard will remain open for boat repairs and launching although this will remain under review on a daily basis. Please understand that this decision has been made as an absolute last resort in the public interest, and the effect on our staff as well as our suppliers will be considerable. We thank them all for their efforts and will do all that we can to restore normal service as soon as it is safe to do so. We will continue to monitor the scientific and government advice in the coming weeks and will publish updates on our website and social media accounts.

Guest Jayfire Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 It got a little disorganised from updates so I've tidied it up below. Be aware that some are offering reservations via websites and some are happy with walk ins. It is all subject to change at short notice too so if planning a visit it is best to double check beforehand ...

YnysMon Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Coo...Jay is mentioning pubs I never even heard of.... The Fat Cat And Canary, Thorpe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Fine establishment. It's a bit of a hoof either from Thorpe or Norwich YS. Well worth a visit and the beer is superb. It's on a main bus route though so not difficult if you don't fancy the walk. Was the Mustard Pot (former Adnams pub) bought by Colin Keatly and done out in Fat Cat style - red and black paint and chess board floor. Very popular now though and a stop off for Norwich fans as Carrow Road isn't too far away. Highly recommended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is along the main road though so not sure Seren would like the walk so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe all the 'Cats' are dog friendly and there's lots of room to sit outside as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Ooo Jay, you do like to live dangerously. Obviously hoping ‘the lady’ doesn’t read this. Either that, or she knows you well enough by now to take all your nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jayfire Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Nonsense Helen? Moi?? I may have to endure months of the cold shoulder and being ignored, but on the positive side it gives my ear a rest from being spoken at 🤣 I jest of course, I love never getting a word edgeways and she so pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 The pubs in Reedham seem to be keeping a low profile. I would have thought the Ship at least would have enough space in the garden to be worth opening? Perhaps one you could keep an eye on for us Mr Fire sir?? (plus I do believe we have a couple of Reedham locals) I've been looking the the Fur and Feather. It looks as if you can book tables already but I wonder if the inference is that they expect you to dine? Looks very food orientated. If we roll up and ask for a gallon of Norfolk Nog and a vat of gin for Mrs N I wonder if they would serve us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 The White Horse at Neatishead and The Lion at Thurne are both advertising for all kinds of staff. Plans would seem to be underway although there’s no dates yet on their Facebook pages. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Thanks for that Jean. As you have your ear to the ground locally so to speak, please continue to keep us informed of any news. Rick is very much on the ball and I'm sure he'll have both pubs up in running soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Will do. I'm mostly picking up things on the local Facebook noticeboard page. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
