I would not totally rely on this book as some entries are way out of date whilst many new pubs have not been added. For instance the Pontiac roadhouse pub is now an all you can eat Chinese restaurant. If only it was regularly updated then it would be useful.

This guide struggles with the fact that many of the pubs that are lucky ehough to line the Broads are just not very good. Some of them seem to be struggling and one huge one at Horning has given up the ghost altogether. Broads pubs (at least those we've visited) seemed to be aimed at a fairly undemanding demographic.
It seems you're unlikely to find a good gastropub along these waterways; it's more mass-catered pub grub. Well, if that's what holidaymakers on the Broads want or expect, then you can't blame the pubs for supplying it, but it does make for some fairly uninspiring ventures on the water. If the example of the Horning pub is anything to go by, maybe the expectations of boaters have moved on and the pubs are failing to keep up - you'd hope that TV's obsession with celebrity chefs and cooking programmes would be doing *some* good out in the real world, after all!
This guide makes no comment about the quality of the pubs it lists, so it's not much help from that point of view. It just tells you where they are and what moorings are available, which is the most useful thing about it.

Originally printed in 1990, this was last updated in 2006.
In this type of book I tend to look for pubs I know to get a feel of how the author views something I'm familiar with.
Sadly, it became immediately apparent this book is way out of date, many pubs having shut. It doesn't even plot on the rather poor maps where the pubs actually are, although it does give approximate walking distances.
Better of buying a good pub guide and a good map

Ok but pricey!
I used this book this month on a trip to the Broads. It does a good job of getting you to the most popular pubs but £10+ for a paperback book that needs updating is double what it... Read more
