Still frozen at the head of the yard but OK on the visitor mooring. Water pipe thawed out too. Sounds like Keleka is frozen in still! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were made welcome and the beer quality was very good. The decor is modern but reminded me very much of the Lion and White Horse which are both excellent pubs. Good selection of gins for Mrs Nog and the solid fuel stoves gave a cosy feel. I will certainly be back. Must say it does look good on your pictures. Must give it a go especially if they are doing Humpty Dumpty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. A bit like The Railway Tavern,or Top House used to be in Reedham. Always full of people who had made the journey by train. 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no steps to trip you up now so Ian could ride in with his scooter if he wished so. My only gripe is the loud music coming from muliple speakers making life difficult to hear those with a soft voice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Paul mentioned the music.

Did you ask if they would turn it down a bit? Was in a pub over in Kent recently catching up with some friends. I say a pub, the Kitchen is run by a Thai couple and it is renowned for its Thai food, so whilst still a pub, people mainly go there to eat, so more a restaurant really. One of our group who has a hearing aid was struggling with how load the music was, so he asked them if they would turn it down a bit, which they said was no problem. Within minutes all the tables around us were thanking him for asking as they had been struggling to talk over the music as well. So always worth asking. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNog Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Often when working in a pub like the WH the bar staff are serving drinks, dealing with food orders, adding logs to the stove etc etc quite possible they don't think about the music and a polite request is rarely refused in my experience. I wouldn't condem a pub over something like that, I've been in one or two pubs in my time 😋 and I thought the White Heron scored well, I've been in many worse pubs! And to cap it all the Humpty Dumpty was excellent 😀🍺 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
