Pubs by Boat · River Yare
The Beauchamp Arms, Langley, riverside pub with moorings on the River Yare
On Ferry Road at Langley, on a bend of the Yare at the old Buckenham Ferry crossing, beside a boatyard and Buckenham Sailing Club.
Mooring by boat
Free moorings for patrons on the Yare frontage. One important caveat: the venue has a long history of licensing and enforcement disputes with the Broads Authority and South Norfolk Council, including mooring-toll and noise cases reported in the local press, so current mooring terms and opening reliability should be checked before you commit an evening to it.
This is the tidal middle Yare: moor against the tide and use plenty of line.
Check before you go: Current mooring terms and whether the pub is reliably open need confirming before you plan a stop here.
About the pub
A large riverside pub with home-cooked food, real ale, cold lagers and ciders, a riverside beer garden, a children's play area and a free car park at the end of a long drive off Ferry Road. Dog-friendly.
What visitors tend to say
The remote riverside setting, garden and family space are what people come for; local press coverage has been dominated by licensing rows rather than the food, which is exactly why we suggest ringing ahead.
Nearest hire base: Brundall, downstream.
Find it on the water
Navigator Lite puts every riverside pub, mooring and slipway on one friendly map, so you can plan the day around lunch here and know exactly where to tie up.
Guidance Only
Opening hours, food service, mooring charges and mooring condition change often on the Broads. Check with the pub directly before building your day around it, and always read the water on arrival.
