Pub / Restaurant Reopening In Wroxham

[SwanR]

Picked this news up on a local site. Whether you know it as Liberty or The Bridge or by its new name of Water’s Edge, I think this is very good news.

Wasn’t the Waters Edge formally The Shed ?

 

edited to add just looked closely at the building work photos and agree is the old Liberty building , which to the best of my knowledge was not a pub but a restaurant , as opposed to the old Waters Edge (The Shed) which was more a pub

The shed was the one behind faircraft loynes boatyard. This is the one right next to the bridge.

Realise that , it changed its name to Waters Edge prior to its closure , agree the one in the paper is the old Liberty restaurant , would struggle to call it a pub

But if you read the article, 

"the relaunch will see it taking on more of a classic British pub feel during lunch service - serving classics such as fish and chips, pies and steaks."

They are aiming to become more like a pub at the relaunch. Agreed, it wasn't in it's previous form.

I wouldn’t have said it was fine dining before more of a steak house.

Yep, there used to be a lot at stake !

It’s nice to have an alternative waters edge. Imaginative name… if your imagination stretches a few miles. 
 

Is it the same business as Bramerton’?

 I would Just ask an important Question is the place Dog Friendly?

The King’s Head in Hoveton is also reported as reopening today after extensive refurbishment of all areas.

Paid a visit to the Kings Head in Hoveton today. The Sunday roast was fine. Other menu items were a little hit and miss. But it’s pub grub, less expensive than other places. The staff were very friendly. The service was good. And the refurbishment is looking lovely. I would go back if I want cheap and cheerful but possibly not for a special occasion.

We went to The Kings Head the day after it re-opened. I must say, Green King have done a fantastic job with the refurbishment, creating a very nice atmosphere and still a proper pub. Was proving very popular even out of season. With the garden also refurbished, I can see it being a great place this summer.

Did you happen to see whether the fence/wall around the pergola had been removed?

Difficult to remember exactly but from from what I do recall there is a pergola with a walled off new seating area. The riverside garden looks pleasant and refreshed.

Sadly, Water's Edge have just announced that they're forced to close from 30th May until further notice due to a staff shortage.

Apparently, they need a Head Chef, Sous Chef, Restaurant Manager, and General Manager.

Which one? Aren’t there two now, one at Bramerton and one in Wroxham?

It's Wroxham which is closing until further notice. Hopefully it is as they say and just a staffing issue they can resolve.
