The Ferry Inn, Horning, riverside pub with moorings on the River Bure
On Ferry Road at Horning Ferry, the last pub you pass as the Bure slips out of Horning village.
Mooring by boat
A long stretch of customer mooring frontage runs along the pub. The moorings are for Ferry Inn patrons only while you're on the premises, there's no electricity or water, and you may be asked to double-moor when it's busy. Some skippers report an overnight charge of around £20.
Check before you go: Exact mooring count and the current overnight charging policy need confirming with the pub.
About the pub
A big family riverside pub best known for its carvery, with at least four real ales on (some visits have found as many as seven), riverside gardens, a children's play area and live entertainment. Dogs are welcome.
What visitors tend to say
The setting is the star, with regulars raving about sunset views over the Bure and generous carvery plates at fair prices. A minority mention patchy food and service on busy days, and the mooring charge catches some crews by surprise.
Nearest hire base: Wroxham/Hoveton, about an hour's cruise downriver.
