kpnut Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 May make your acquaintance sometime this week NorfolkNog. If you pass a bright orange ex Richardson’s horizon 35 give me a toot. What boat are you on? The storm seems to have disappeared as quickly as it came. I haven’t seen tomorrow’s forecast yet. Hope you are nice and snug.

Chelsea14Ian Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Last night we went to the Whitehorse Chegrave. Dreadful weather on the way.Anyway Christmas Dinner,as usual very good.Last week we went to the new Inn.I asked about moorings,some confusion. One barman said in the season they will charge for moorings.,but that won't be taken off your bill of you have a meal.I think that's wrong if true,think they will lose some custom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of room on the public moorings Ian! On the whole I think the pub has improved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was asking about moorings next year.If I have to pay for moorings which is not taken off the bill.I wouldn't moor there.Over the years I've spent lots of money at the New Inn.So they may lose my Custom! To be honest the food last week there was average.No way near the standard of a few years back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 Ah, that's helpful Ian. We didn't eat but were happy with the drinks. Mooring in season would be a problem I agree so that's fair comment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea14Ian Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 In my opinion as a Chef and a customer. The menu seemed to have,many dishes with Avocado, which is not the best ingredient,it has its place but needs a balance. Marina had bangers and mash,I had chicken burger which as I said was average. Okay but nothing to write home about.Compared with the chicken burger we had at the Falgate, Potter which was outstanding. The menu at New Inn is I think a chain one something I not keen on.That said the barman who served us was excellent. A few twigs is all that needed.I may email re mooring charges see what they say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near high tide here and still below mooring. Springs set and head to wind so should be fine. Time for the pub. Salhouse should be OK and the walk to the Fur and Feather is about a mile but on the road so not muddy and all downhill on the way back. The big plus of course, is that you can get a pint of 'Norfolk Nog'!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
