marshman Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 And that about sums it up - not quite what Vaughan, with respect, would imply by calling it "famous and important"!!! It might have been perhaps 100 years or so ago but its been a dump for as long as I can remember, firstly when it was run by Mr Hollocks Sr and now his successor. No one should flout planning legislation which most of us abide by, and the the old man was a thorn in the flesh years ago with illegally parked vans, and know his successor too!

Roy Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 7 hours ago, SueH said: Hi. Don't post on here very often anymore. But, years ago the Berney was run by two blokes. What with their welcome and the dog running down the stairs to greet everyone. It was very welcoming and the moorings were looked after. From memory it started to go downhill when they left. Some have tried and failed since to make it a going concern though. Yes I can remember them running the berney arms very good food and service and the toy spider that was above the corner table they let down to shock people from time to time lol. Also the beuchamp arms was run by a guy called Chris I think and his wife in the early 2000s they did good food and welcome to boaters but unfortunately were only there a short time maybe the rent increase truck again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annv Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Hi They then took over the Berny Arms was still good (he also made home made wine from berry's around the back of the pub) always tried to get me p####d on this every time i went there. Then same thing happened started to make a go of it when rent went up, plus he was diagnosed with cancer so they left it then spiralled downwards.

Mouldy Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Just read on FB, that there was some kind of rave happening at The Beauchamp Arms yesterday afternoon. Must be the owners way of causing further stress to the BA! Im guessing that the HERAS fencing was to prevent the revellers from falling in the river! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 why does the phrase compulsory purchase order keep popping into my head, surely someone could find a loop hole or some kind of excuse? Owner being a ******** maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I know there are 3 sides to every story, protaganist, opposition and the facts but what is to be gained from being contrary, difficult and awkward? 3 prime sites, even with constraints, that could be an entrepreneur's dream with investment and good ideas in keeping with location and planning regs. Obviously I don't know all the facts but on the face of it this whole enterprise is a massive own goal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I don't know how he can own Berney Arms.For so long sat there not doing nothing.What money can he make if any.Now he seems to be doing the same thing at Beauchamp Arms. Unusual business plan.Surely he would be better selling to someone who can make the three site more successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YnysMon Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Vey unusual business plan! I’ve never, ever seen anyone sat outside the Beauchamp Arms, despite attempts at prettying the outside area up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Dog in the manger approach. Always has been. John and Tracy were the last ones to really make a go of the Berney. Driven out by unrealistic rent demands. Look at the Golden Galleon....no proven connection of course...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea14Ian Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 As far as I know.Whats never helped.He doesn't get on with the farmer's at Berney. Perhaps if he had a better relationship with them,that would help greatly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
