DAVIDH Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Looking at another thread, I was just considering what would be my favourite pubs - the places you would choose if you could only eat out once north and once south. I thought it might be interesting to nominate them here, followed by the pubs you've visited the most over your times on the Broads. They're not necessarily the same places! So for me, Favourite pubs: North: Sutton Staithe Hotel. South: The Yare Hotel, Brundall Most visited pubs: North: Bridge Inn, Acle. South: The Yare Hotel, Brundall Just a bit of whimsey on an overcast September Saturday morning. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YnysMon Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Mine are: North: The White Horse Neatishead. South: The Wherry, Geldeston. Most visited (last couple of years anyway). North: Acle Bridge Inn. South: not sure. We haven't visited that many recently, but we have had a few trips by car from Brundall to Acle.

Mouldy Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 As mentioned in another thread, ours are The Lion on the northern rivers and The Ferry House on the southern side. As far as most visited is concerned, The Ferry House is almost our local, being moored at Brundall, although The Yare is easily reached from our marina. When we stray north on longer breaks, The Bridge Inn at Acle and The Lion share our custom probably equally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also been to the Bridge Inn probably as much as The Lion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughan Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I agree with MM. It is always the Red House to me. Just as the Rushcutters (whatever that means) is always Thorpe Gardens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 When South there's no contest it is always The Yare every time . When North probably the Kings Head Ludham is our preferred venue or possibly the one at Neatishead. Being based at Brundall the Yare is the pub we've been to most by far.

CeePee1952 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Thinking of maybe popping in to the Dog Inn tomorrow if we can get a mooring space at Ludham bridge! Anyone visited it recently and got any comments!! Chris Edited September 5, 2021 by CeePee1952 Predictive text for Ludham!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 If possible I would recommend mooring at the furthest end from the bridge , the shenanigans and bumps occurring there have been at an all time high menu looks promising 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the furthest end before the bridge or after going under it? Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Last week when we passed downstream the private moorings signs had been extended for the whole stretch of the right hand side grass banked moorings , which is where we used to enjoy mooring 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in July that stretch was available and being used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 South is easy. With the demise of the Locks it has to be Ferry House at Surlingham by some distance, North I would have to decide between The Bridge Inn, Acle, The Recruiting Sergeant or The Nelson's Head though I have not been to the latter recently. As for most visited then The Bridge Inn and Ferry House, I go to the places I like most. Being as we are land based visitors now and not tethered to those places accessible by water an honourable mention must also go to the Sailor's Home at Kessingland and the Three Horseshoes at North Cove, both favoured watering holes.

Precisely, just as that pretentious place with the glass front will always be the Woods End Tavern, though sadly those days have gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CambridgeCabby Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 When it was the Red House and more spit and sawdust we loved it , it had character and the added benefit of not worrying about closing times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
