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.
