About the pub
A family-friendly Greene King riverside pub-hotel with eight en-suite rooms, Greene King ales, a beer garden overlooking the water, and a menu of pub classics, steaks and burgers. Its bridge-side position makes it the natural place to pause and size up Wroxham Bridge before attempting the passage.

Nearest hire base: You're in the Wroxham/Hoveton hub itself, the so-called Capital of the Broads, steps from the main hire yards.
