Pubs by Boat · River Bure
The New Inn, Horning, riverside pub with moorings on the River Bure
At 54 Lower Street, Horning, on the River Bure a short stroll from the village centre.
Mooring by boat
Eight stern-on moorings on the Bure that you can book in advance, plus a small basin and landing for day boats. The usual arrangement is reported as £10 a night refunded when you dine, though some sources describe it as free with booking required.
Check before you go: The charge-and-refund detail varies between sources and needs confirming with the pub; the eight-mooring count is reliable.
About the pub
A traditional family pub, recently refurbished under Stonegate, with two changing ales (typically Adnams and Sharp's Doom Bar), a large riverside terrace with covered heated decking, a children's arcade and play area, and well-regarded Sunday roasts. Dog-friendly.
What visitors tend to say
Being able to book a berth beside a good pub is the thing boaters mention most, along with the terrace and the family appeal. Some longer-standing visitors feel the menu shrank and prices rose after the change of ownership.
Nearest hire base: Wroxham/Hoveton, about an hour's cruise.
