Firstly The staff are very friendly and totally efficient.
Secondly The Ale was top notch 🍺
thirdly the location would be hard to better on the Norfolk broads and accessible from the river if on a boat with several mornings and asidtance 👍
All in all 10 out of 10 and we can’t wait to go back and what looks like delicious 😋 food .
Foot note regarding disabled Access :
I noticed very limited blue badge bays in-fact only one sadly but a big car park .
Access is good as it has a very large external river side patio with full access to tables and sun umbrellas.
Also you can enter the main building with little or no restraints.
Sadly, on this visit the standards certainly have slipped. The place was busy but not packed at all. Quality of carvery was a little disappointing with the flagship (by my standards) roast potatoes no longer being as they used to be and now just the fast oily burnt cornered potatoes likes of which are found in the slap dash castle carvery establishments. “It’s just a roast potatoes he whinging about I hear you say” it’s not ! It was a long journey to the holy grail of roasties which I guess is now nothing more than a nostalgic memory. I digress, the service was astonishing, to have the drinks arrive halfway through our meal was the best we were gonna get. The rest had to be chased three (3!) times after the meal had finished and the final drink had to be hunted down.
Apologies had been made which, okay that’s fair it’s busy. But then I remembered draft coke doesn’t require the same level of skill portrayed by Tom Cruise in “cocktail” so it’s was a deflating experience paying the £170 bill.
It’s a shame, I’m giving three stars as it hurts to give you less but honestly, you don’t deserve. It my wallet aches as much as my yearn for the carvery I recall.
Lovely views of the broads and plenty of space/tables both inside and out. Food is a bit pricey for what you get. Drinks are a great price. Overall a great pub.
Thank you Ferry Inn for making our holiday really good.
