Chelsea14Ian Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Having just come back from the broads It is a little bit worrying about the state of some moorings at a few of the pubs.There is no doubt keeping moorings in top condition is costly, but boats bring money to the pubs, and please land lords and ladies it is worth the investment.

BroadScot Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Don't tell me the Kings Head moorings are Wroxham are still ringless or postless? Iain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hockham Admiral Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I agree Ian, the problem is most of the pubs aren't owned by the tenant and the greedy landlords aren't prepared to make an investment when there is no direct benefit for them. Dave Quite right, Dave... the Ferry House at Surlingham is a prime example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyPatricia Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 HA, that doesn't fill me with confidence. We have booked a mooring at the Ferry in Surlingham for the 27th of this month. We have never stopped there before. What is wrong with the moorings there? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Hi Steve,I would pick your spot carefully, have plenty of fenders and a couple of rhond anchors.By all accounts the pub and meals are first class, sadly we have never moored there because of the moorings.RegardsAlan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyPatricia Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 We will be on pacific star for the week and have booked a mooring. I hope they keep the 'better moorings' if there are any for those who have reserved We have noted that many posts are made regarding the good food and hospitality afforded at the Ferry. We are really looking forward to our visit Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennyMorgan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I have nothing but high praise for the pub. As for the moorings, just be careful, that said I've never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNog Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 This picture of the Surlingham Ferry moorings was taken last year but it gives the general idea, I don’t think they have changed much. If memory serves they are better at each end but not so good in the middle. The section to the far left of the photo right in front of the pub is the best bit I think. The moorings are not horrendous but just need a bit of care, you may need extra fendering as others have said. It’s worth the effort though, it’s a very good pub and is featured in the Good Beer Guide for the first time this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
