Ship at South Walsham for Sale??

NorfolkNog · August 27, 2015

There’s an advert out by local estate agents TW Gaze for a pub which looks remarkably like the Ship at South Walsham to me. They have it down as NORTH Walsham but never trust an estate agent with an accurate description. :naughty:

The same agents that were handling the sale of the Berney I do believe.

I’m not registered with them so I can’t get any more info. At this price its leasehold obviously. I don’t go in there that much now since it became a gastro pub although I believe the grub is good.

I used to like it when Kim and Giles had the pub and it had a lovely beer garden before the present operators dug it up to make a car park. two guns

Anyone got any more info?

I think an extra "0" got into that T/O figure. £13K per day in S. Walsham, not likely £1.3K per day sounds high.

Currently owned by the Colchester Group who own the Recruiting Sergeant amongst others, i believe.

Used to be very good when they first bought it but IMHO went downhill when they changed the menus from specialist to "more ordinary" and the chef moved on about 3 years ago - went from outstanding to goodish. But they wanted to cater for a different market and did. I guess that its really not big enough in comparison with their other places.

If they ever owned the Swan at Ingham it was some time ago - incidentally the Swan's current owners have recently bought the Mad Moose in Norwich and the Wildebeest in Stoke Holy Cross. Now two decent restaurants within 400 yds of each other!

Talking about the Recruiting Sergeant, 9 of us went there a couple of weeks ago. Fish dishes were good, but meat-based ones were unremarkable. Been there many times, but never left disappointed before.
