Beauchamp Arms in South Norfolk - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Closed even tho the website said open. Totally disgusting outside. Caravans dumped all around and driveway full of pot holes. Only time they opened is for all night drug raves.

Don’t bother going. Kayaked quite a long way along the broads hoping to stop here for lunch as the website said it was open. It’s not, the place looks deserted and surrounding area is a tip.

We have been twice now since its recent opening and received the same friendly welcome both times. Stunning views down the river, very peaceful. Just had drinks but will definitely return to try out the food plenty of room inside and out.

Don't bother to make the unbelievable journey (by car) down to this place. Although web site said it was open, it wasn't. Lane to it had more pot holes than tarmac. Looks like a building site as you drive in- rubbish around the place, dumped caravans, outside toilets. I expect the approach is better by river. So much potential...

This was our first planned stop on our boat trip. Only problem when we tried to book it turned out they weren't planning to be open but said we could moor anyway. When we got there John came out to greet us and said we could get a drink if we wanted. So I had a couple of nice ales the set up the barby by the boat with his blessing. A good bloke and the pub looked good too.

What a delightful place this is the second time we have visited and The food is still excellent and the price is still good highly recommend a call

Visité este pub junto al agua en una de las noches más ventosas y húmedas en los Broads y nos alegramos mucho de haberlo hecho. Desde el exterior, debo decir que parece bastante poco amado, pero la gente allí era muy acogedora y la comida era encantadora estilo casero (especialmente recomiendo las pieles de patata y el magnífico pastel de carne y cerveza). Y ciertamente obtienes mucho: las porciones son definitivamente grandes, ¡así que prepárate! Nos gustó tanto la comida que volvimos para una fiesta de la segunda noche al final de las vacaciones.

Hay muchos pubs a orillas del agua a lo largo de los Broads, los más elegantes, que sirven comida buena / buena. Este pub parece un poco no amado, claramente necesita algo de trabajo. . . . pero estábamos cansados y solo queríamos amarrar en un lugar tranquilo.Una cálida bienvenida del nuevo gerente, y podríamos amarrar durante la noche de forma gratuita. Pedimos un par de cervezas frías para beber y disfrutar, pero también un par de pintas de lima y refresco para arrojar rápidamente primero cuando estábamos al rojo vivo y deshidratados. El gerente dijo que no cobra por ellos, solo son agua y cordial, ¡así que en la casa! Que gran actitud.Su nuevo menú parecía delicioso, y se sugirieron sus hamburguesas caseras especiales. La preparación de las comidas tardó aproximadamente una hora, y comenzamos a desmayarnos de hambre. . . . pero Dios mío, ¿valió la pena la espera? Las hamburguesas eran jugosas, frescas, simplemente excepcionales. ¡Mi filete con salsa de pimienta estaba tan bueno que incluso cuando estaba lleno seguía comiendo! Gran tamaño de las porciones. Los postres también eran encantadores. Resultó ser la mejor comida que comimos en los Norfolk Broads esa semana de vacaciones.Claramente, este pub necesita un poco de TLC. Necesitan su negocio para lograr eso. No puedo instarte lo suficiente como para que veas por ti mismo lo bueno que es el nuevo personal. No te decepcionará la comida.

Excellent food... mixed grill was immense. Amazing music.... just our scene. Loved it. A special last night of our holiday. Very friendly staff. Just an apt end to an amazing week. Thank you.

Hice una de nuestras caminatas favoritas hace un par de semanas y esperaba encontrar el pub cerrado como la última vez. Estoy muy contento de verlo funcionar nuevamente ya que está en una ubicación tan excelente. Solo nos detuvimos para tomar una copa y disfrutamos de las excelentes vistas ubicadas en la terraza del río. Nos dijeron que el pub había reabierto hace unas 5/6 semanas y que tenía un gerente diferente. El gerente dijo que estarían abiertos los 7 días de la semana durante todo el año. También hacen comida y tienen amarres para el tráfico del río. Les deseamos lo mejor y estamos ansiosos por volver a visitarnos la próxima vez que caminemos de esa manera, ¡incluso en invierno! ! !Buena suerte.

Actually closed when we visited today (30th March 2019) at about midday hoping for a pint and a snack. Access to the river was through an arch that looked ready to collapse. An absolute tip. Detritus everywhere, awful.

Visited the beauchamp arms on 24/9/2018 and got a warm welcome from the friendly staff, wanted to ordered food but the kitchen was out of service but Dave took pitty on us and managed to cook my friends little girl something to eat which we really appreciated as supplies on the boat we were on were very low. Big thanks to the beauchamp we shall definitely be calling in again on our next trip.

This pub has such promise - over the past two years it has sadly suffered from bad management and neglect. - however the owners are back and determined to put this right. They have already invested in upgrading the bedrooms upstairs which are now up to a very good standard - ideal for fishing trips - or boating friends. The are equipped so you can self cater. The pub itself is still in need of a good refurb. However the day we visited for dinner we had an excellent meal so this is one to keep an eye on. If new managers put the work it this will again be a really good place to stop on the river - using the moorings by the beer garden.

Just spent a fabulous w/end at Beauchamp Arms..Very clean rooms..good pub grub..well stocked bar..all reasonably priced..friendly staff & customers..Fantastic views..Cant wait to go back for much longer next time

What an amazing place, hidden away beside the River Yare, lovely company, friendly landlord and great bar staff. Will be back !

Llamamos allí esta tarde, solo queríamos café, pedimos un café con leche, dos cafés negros y uno blanco. Qué decepción después de tomar una de nuevo nos dieron otra, esto también resultó ser decepcionante, el café con leche era casi todo leche con muy poco café. Nos ofrecieron nuestro dinero pero no lo acepté porque había bebido el mío. No regresaremos

Elegimos el Beauchamp Arms porque aceptan perros y los precios parecían razonables. Le sugiero que use su navegador por satélite para llegar allí ya que tomamos una ruta bastante tortuosa. Esto es particularmente cierto si proviene de Norwich. No te dejes desanimar por la pista sin hacer durante la última 1/2 milla

We decided to check this place out to see if it was open. The previous year it had been

If you care to arrive by car you will either have travel sickness at the end of the "drive" or your suspension will be shot. Whilst avoiding all the craters do take in all the litter and fly tipping along the way as when you do finally arrive at your destination the entire area looks very much like a council recycling center which is a bit unfair on the council actually as their sites are well kept and tidy.

I have read some bad reviews on here but have to say that we visited here to refresh after a long walk. There was one couple eating in the restaurant and the food looked good so we decided to eat here.

Aparently the Landlord lost his licence and the relief Manager only opens when he feels like it. We visited 2 years ago and had supper but the food then was very poor.

We usually only go for a weekend drink on Saturdays or Sundays. The place might have seen better days but the owners are doing their utmost to improve things, like new benches outside etc. The service is friendly. The beer and cider is excellent.

Food barely average, service without a smile. This place needs some investment and someone with enthusiasm to run it. Moorings good if you are boating

Un paseo en un día muy caluroso, el miércoles día 19 de julio en el Río Yare, muriendo por una pinta en el río en este pub - al haber leído las reseñas anteriores, me cautivó a descubrirlo por mí mismo. Pero lo que un tugurio de un lugar, un lugar encantador, podría ser tan concurrida y popular, pero necesita un montón de dinero gastado en él. En realidad, muy viejo, cerrado cuando llamé, a unos 1. 30:00h!! Todas las puertas cerradas, sin señales, sin indicación que puede abrir o estaba "cerrado".

Después de visitar la cercana Iglesia claxton, realmente no sabíamos donde íbamos a comer y a mirar hacia el río. La carretera de acceso desigual no fue muy amable en el coche y la primera impresión de los brazos de Beauchamp era "deberíamos girar? "Aún así nos hambre y sed y quería sentarse al lado de "El Broads. "

Run down , dirty , food looked awful . Beer wasn't great . Wow . Could be a good pub but needs some serious investment. Steer clear . Such a shame

Went there on Sunday just for a drink deciding whether to eat or not. Atmosphere dreadful. Attitude was pretty bad not very pleasant experience. Spoke to another couple who were eating they advised us not too. Toilets were absolutely disgusting floors soaking wet don't think...

Great location on a lovely day to sit by the river with a drink. Have eaten here but no more. Awful. Go elsewhere to eat or get crisps. Dilapidated, filthy place walk past on the side of the pub with care, free running sewage etc

Me he alojado aquí unas cuantas veces mientras con los niños en el río y siempre he encontrado la comida buena y bien de precio. Es una buena parada cuando estás en el río. Sí, el lugar podría hacer algunos trabajos, pero eso no le restó para mí desde el personal amable, buena comida y cerveza. A los niños les encanta la mesa de billar gratis y la conexión wifi es bastante bueno también. Es una parada regular para nosotros estos días.

Visited the Beauchamp Arms on an October Sunday night whilst on one of my 2 annual Norfolk Broads Boating Holidays for an overnight stay. The owner & his son were great to talk with & extremely welcoming.... & informative. .The food. ..was superb. .. ✔You may have to wait a little longer than normal ... as everything is hand made ... and worth it... ✔I highly recommend the Asian Burger ... along with the freshly hand made pastry that tops the great pies.....The boat moorings are great for sunsets & sunrises ... and extremely peaceful ...All in all ... a fantastic place to stay. .. eat .. drink ...& in a great building. ...I will return in March 2017 Thanks ...

We have been to the Beauchamp Arms many times over the past 12 months for sunday lunch and have always had an excellent meal. The venue has always been busy at these times, creating a nice friendly atmosphere. However after an absence of several months we went again last weekend and unfortunately a recent change of management (back to the previous owner we were told) has seen a dramatic deterioration in the quality of food, the service and also the atmosphere. The restaurant was virtually empty, and it was not hard to see why. It is a real shame but just as things were beginning to improve for this pub, things have taken a dive for the worse. It is such a shame given the pubs wonderful location. If you're looking to eat in this part of Norfolk, I strongly suggest, for the meantime at least, that unfortunately you look elsewhere.

Stopped here to get lunch on a day out in the boats only to be told you couldn't come in through the window, was only able to use the outside toilets, which didn't look as though they had been cleaned in at least 10 years.

A quiet pub that offers fairly priced food and drink.The place is a little run down and the guy behind the bar really looked like he would sooner be elsewhere.Free Wi-Fi and pool made it a winner for the kids.

Food good, ambience relaxing, setting spectacular, busy high season but quiet other times, friendly staff and very helpful. If you are wanting to moor up, try to get there as early as possible for your stay as moorings get extremely busy and there are not many of them.

We visited the broads on a boating holiday and visited this pub for a 2nd time we moored for free, there was a small and well used park a trampoline for the kids the beer was good £3.20 a pint inside was a free pool table, darts, board games and books. We ordered our food and waited a short time, it was a typical pub menu nothing fancy burger, steaks, gammon, pies, chicken, kids meals and it was by far the BEST pub meal we have eaten in a long time the steak cooked perfect. All the meals well presented and good value for money the most expensive under £14 for a mixed grill. Service was great friendly and always a smile. Will highly recommend and will visit again when in the area. A real gem of a place.

happened upon it by chance at lunchtime. getting out of the car didn't seem to notice the general dishevelment of the place as the eye was drawn to the large stretch of blue gleaming (on a sunny day) river and passing assorted boats. And yet, a smashed up truck with long arm on the back lays by the ditch on approaching, a dusty BT phone box with weeds a couple of feet high inside and a couple of mashed up picnic benches greet you immediately as you step out of said car into a ramshackley yard. Still looking at the glinting river didn't appear to notice the sad looking plants in equally sad planters, the former screaming for water and attention while weeds silently and surely take them over. The large paved area at the front is a health hazard of uneven yellow and red slabs but the river still catches all your attention.. Inside, past a dodgy looking entrance, you are met by the counter, immediately glance around discerns some large flower patterned wallpaper of dubious taste but recently stuck on, giving the illusion of some care for the interior. This attention is reserved to a small area to the left of the counter. The rest has a decor that would be difficult to find still in existence nowadays but is a perfect witness to what the British public used to put up with and consider acceptable. By that point, being at the main counter, kind of go ahead and order a drink with the menu, which in appearance is a fairly standard offering of frozen then resuscitated pub food. Then sit at an uncleaned (tho' the place is deserted) table inside (as the wind is bad on the day), by a large, old and dirty window, still looking at the river. Food arrives, and is suitably disappointing in spite of having been 'cooked' by a nice man. Sausages not edible, the rest depending on degree of hunger. Good thing they allow dogs. However, having sat quietly in the corner while we ate, when we left our dog was covered in cobwebs previously decorating the lower part of the wall. Overall, an experience to remember.

The outside looks a bit tired but the inside was quite nice and I can see the new owner has spent some money doing it up . But sorry to say the food wasn't good ' I had the sausage and chips in a basket you get 3 sausages but they were the worst saug iv tasted cheap and nasty I took them home for my dog. I would rather have had one decent saug than 3 cheap ones ' my husband had the burger with scampi which was only average I would not go back here to have food unless it improve

We moored up outside the Beauchamp Arms on our holiday cruiser with slight trepidation for whilst a sign said they were open under new management the outside looked slightly tired and unloved. However inside is a different matter money has clearly been spent on decor, fixture and fittings and a very tasteful look has been achieved. The greeting from the team behind the bar was really friendly and the food was excellent, freshly cooked, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. I had a most delicious steak cooked to perfection with a selection of veg and chips. My Mother and partner both chose fresh cod in a tempura batter bought earlier in the day from the fishmonger which was wonderfully light and non greasy again with a selection of veg and chips and raved about it. We were sadly too full for desserts which looked delicious and have marked this pub as a must visit again. Am told Sunday carvery is to behold and if you are travelling by boat and want a mooring for the night, the Arms offers free mooring and wifi should you stop for food/drink. Whilst many places along the river are closing currently it is heartening to see people trying to set up a new business and clearly putting their heart, soul and wallets into it and should be applauded and supported!! Long may the Beauchamp Arms continue!

Once again a great reception at the beauchamp.Alan is a great host .Please take an hour or so to pop in here you wont be disapointed.

Had Sunday lunch here on 8th May. Previous visit a couple of years before wasn't good but this was a totally different experience. The new owner is friendly and helpful and has ambitious plans for the future; he deserves to do well and we (the boating community especially) ought to support this up-coming venue. The carvery was spot-on and the location is excellent. The decor needs updating but plans are underway for this season. It should look extremely nice as there's nothing tacky about the dining area, it has great potential as a classy place to eat.We're on the boat again very soon and the Beauchamp Arms will most certainly be on the agenda once more, maybe twice !

Pub is greatly improved and I have eaten here several times. Very friendly, dogs and children welcome. Sunday roast is brilliant and they serve great beers from a local micro brewery.To get five stars.....iron the tablecloths and improve mid week menu....go for gourmet or good pub grub.

Having booked a table for 1230hrs at least a week before and rung up a couple of days to add someoneYou do expect the place to be OPENwe wandered around outside for ages, it was freezingeventually at 1245hrs a door opened "sorry overslept" was the excuse "need to switch on the kitchen, takes 20minutes to warm up"very average choice on the menu, fish & chips not availablegood job we were not in a rushonly other person in the place, had one drink and leftthis was a Friday Lunch time, would have expected it to be busy, but not surprised nowwill not be going back

The proprietors opened up specially for our party of 30 & provided an amazing hot breakfast buffet which our guests were talking about for months afterwards. A really chilled morning spent eating & sipping unlimited hot drinks in the sunshine overlooking the river. The staff were excellent & made sure we were looked after & wanted for nothing. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended

Under new management, they say, but sadly major improvements are needed before this once great riverside venue is anywhere near the mark. Outside there's a lot of tidying up to do and the rather superficial interior redecoration fails to conceal dated and grubby decor.The lunchtime menu is limited, and there's no problem with that, except it was very limited on the day we called because there was no cod, so we both had the egg, ham and chips which were fine - the chips nicely cooked. It's a pity we didn't stop at that but, foolishly, we were tempted by the more extensive pudding menu. We decided to go for the hot syrup sponge and the hot raspberry jam sponge each with custard, but both were equally grim. I guess the puds were bought in and the custard came straight from a tin, but both puds were undercooked and the custard was stone cold. Sorry guys, there's only one way to go - you've got to up the quality a long way if you're going to make this a destination worth the trip down the that potholed drive.

Our first visit to the Beauchamp arms for a Sunday carvery. A very friendly welcome from all the staff. the cider and white wine were great. One really good touch was there was no pressure to get in, fed and out. !!!The Roast dinner really could not be faulted in any way at all, (I am a fussy bugger).Over all well worth the drive to get there, we will be back again.

I believe this place has been recently taken over and they seem to be trying very very hard to improve things from what was before, obviously working with limited budgets. I am guessing the owner is very attentive and working very hard to make things better. The place good do with an over haul but I had a very good local ale ( only 2 on tap and one had run out so obviously they ar doing something right). We had Sunday Carvery which was well priced at £7:50, the Pork and turkey were cooked well and very tasty ( could have done with more crackling) the beef was a little over cooked but thats how my wife likes it although a very thick wedge instead of thin slices. All the side dishes were tasty and well cooked, I had to add some salt to bring flavour out but hey thats me. All in all good food in an environment that needs updating. I hope they do well certainly have the charter and enthusiasm.

The Pub offers moorings for an overnight stay for customers, which is what we did. The restaurant is clean and friendly and we enjoyed the food. The staff were very young and I did not notice any older person managing them but it all ran very smoothly.

You just have to pop in & try the Sunday Carvery, proper home cooked food, great selection of veg. If you don't want or like a carvery a full menu is also available. Last visit I took one of my granddaughters who is a pain with food, no problem, childs Ham, egg & chips £4 & they let her have roast spuds & yorkshires off the carvery as well. Very dog friendly, Alan the boss will find you a table where you feel comfortable & normally offers the dogs a treat. Accessible by road or boat, mooring can be a challenge only a few outside but the bank up river is manageable with care,. enjoy.

We moored up outside the Beauchamp Arms on our Norfolk broads holiday in August. The owners/managers were extremely friendly and helpful. The interior of the pub/restaurant looks to have been recently refurbished. The rooms are bright and welcoming. The food came fairly quickly and the presentation and quality was extremely good. I had the seafood platter which was gorgeous and plentiful. I would recommend to anyone.

Very welcoming young male bar, waiting staff. Hamburger great value but didnt come with promised onions, just naked burger in bun with wilted salad leaves. Cottage pie with very tasy and tender meat, thick gravy served with potatoes and peas. Decor has greatly improved but finer details missing. Perhaps ditch the plastic flowers on the tables, iron the clovers and ckean sugar spilt on cloths? In short still work to be done, especially in the ladies toilets.

As a regular boater from the area, we don't normally use this pub. We gave it a look due to new ownership. It has had a coat of paint, however it hasn't quite decided what sort of venue it wants to be, i.e there are massive games tables, a small dining room, live music, dogs are welcome. The food was tasty but basic, we had to send back 2 sets of very dirty glasses. Plus the waiter kept pestering us to pay the bill. Probably to move us out so the band could play. In summary it's better than it used to be but I'm not likely to go again. There are much more boater friendly relaxing pubs. Sorry

As most Broads folk know, the Beauchamp had become a place to avoid, over the last few years. As we passed the pub, on our way down stream, we noticed it was under new management. On our return trip we decided to give it another chance. How glad I am that we stopped. It has been redecorated and revitalised. The extensive menu has something for most tastes. The meals were well cooked and excellent value. The new owners have invested a lot of time and money into their venture and I wish them the very best in their endeavours.We will now be making regular stops for both lunches and dinners.Graham

What a lovely pub the food was brilliant and very very tasty all fresh very helpful staff and they are also dog friendly would highly recommend

The Beauchamp arms is a nice little place sat on the side of the river with a small amount of mooring, I visited the beauchamp arms with my 2 sons as we were on holiday on the broads and walked from rocklinton st Marys marina where we had stopped for the night. The walk was 1 mile and 3/4 along the nature trail (take long trousers and a stick as there are a lot of nettles on the way.) It is a well presented little pub with what looks like a nice amount of room for the busier times, when arrived it was quite quiet and when at the bar ordering the food and drinks i got a feeling it was a little bit of an inconvenience for the staff, although she did try to look interested. The food was of a good standard and even with a mix up of the starters and all the mains being ready together it was ok. The boys tomato soup was quite nice and they can be fussy. The steak and ale pie was ok pastry a little dry but could have been when was waiting to be re - served after the starter. One of the boys had a burger which again was nice both mains were of a really good size so be ready to eat plenty as well as a reasonable price. I would go again and hope to give a better review. All in all it was a nice place with decent food but with such a great location could do so much better with a bit of effort

A large banner greets me as I make my way down the long drive towards the riverside announcing the new management. Upon arrival, I was heavily impressed with the improvements that have been made over the last three months since Shane and Alan took over. The resaurant has been given a complete overhaul and is now bright and airy whilst the outside space is as clean as ever. The waiters and waitresses are fantastic and the menu is varied and the food portions are generous and well cooked. The bar staff are friendly and experienced and after speaking to the owners there are still lots of exciting changes and improvements to come! LIVE music every Saturday night is a hit.

Whilst visiting friends at Heckingham near Norwich we were taken for a great meal at the Beauchamp Arms. I had a very tasty lamb shank and Carol had an enormous Fish Platter. We went back the next night for a jazz evening featuring the "River Rats". Jazz is not really my scene but our host is a keen indeed accomplished trombonist so we went to support him. This pub restaurant is under new management and seems to be doing all the right things to bring it back, though I feel money need spending on the infrastructure.

Moored at the Beauchamp while on a sailing holiday, new management since our last visit. Had very friendly welcome with good food and good beer so decided that we would try the breakfast before we left. We were not disappointed, the breakfast was excellent and very good value.

The owner is busy effecting the transformation of this pub-restaurant. In my estimation he has invested more in it in the last 7 weeks than previous occupants in the 23 years I have known it. The grounds are neat, the location has always been wonderful. As you enter you immediately notice the change of decor and furniture. I stayed for a meal and had the sea-food platter off quite an extensive menu, which was excellent. Fish fresh, chips cripsy!The wine list is modestly priced. So, all you Norfolk folk who long ago wrote off the Beauchamp Arms, go and give it a chance. You won't be disappointed. NB The owner is seeking to attract year round local custom and sees the river visitors as a bonus, so the menu choice is priced modestly to encourage repeat visits, not just the special occasion. There is also a refurbished function room.

Much improved recently by new enthusiastic friendly owners. Good honest pub food at very sensible prices, menu has recently been revised and extended. Several guest beers available. Lovely position on the River Yare, with ample mooring. Well worth a visit.

We visited this beautiful pub while on our boating holiday, we moored up along side and had a beautiful lunch and s tour of the newly refurbished rooms, the owner is so friendly and accommodating that following our visit there we set sail again but soon turned round and decided to have our evening meal and a few drinks there and was offered free mooring for the night. A truly wonderful place to visit

Under new management since my last visit a year or so ago. Very welcoming and keen to please, a good menu nicely cooked and presented by pleasant staff. Some unusual (as well as more usual) beers/lagers were good. We (me and my four sailing friends) arranged breakfast for 8:30am next day and it was all ready on time, generous, with a USA style "endless coffee pot". Our whole experience was enjoyable and good value for money. We'll return.

We had walked to this pub several times last summer and very much enjoyed the food although the building itself needed work. On the strength of recent reviews, we walked there again this weekend. We agree that the building has improved substantially but were disappointed with the food which was ordinary and poorly presented although it was incredibly cheap. The location is excellent and the staff were very friendly and efficient. Nearly there but not quite made it.

Simply...wonderful! This place has seen many changes of late - I cannot think of a better place to moor my boat and enjoy a good bit of grub and a few drinks with the family. Great new owners. I had lovely chat with the Landlord who has seen a lot of the world, and has some very promising plans for this place. They know what they are doing. Great for kids too - they couldn't have done any more for my little'n. God bless.

The place maybe looks run down - but do not let that put you off - service and food and prices are brilliant and new owners have great plans - Free mooring as well -not to be missed!

My husband and I were at the restaurant last night for our Anniversary with family and had a great time .The place is lovely inside and out , and food and service was so good we are going back again soon .when we arrived we also were invited to join in a wine tasting evening so it made it fun as well, we were also told there will be many more themed night in the year so will be looking forward to them.

Moored here on the first night of our weekend away. 7 ladies, all hungry and thirsty. We were met by very accommodating staff, who were friendly and went above and beyond to meet our requirements. The landlord informed us he had taken over 3 weeks previously. Some refurbishment has already been completed to a high standard, with plans for even more. They allowed us to use their karaoke machine, which we put to (good) use. Would highly recommend this pub if you want good food and a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks for helping us make some fantastic memories

Sat-Sun 9-11 am buffet style break fast £5.00. Excellant value .Now under new management. Staff very attentive to customer service.

The Beauchamp Arms has recently had new management. We moored here on the free overnight mooring and visited for our evening meal. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. All the staff are very friendly and go out of their way to please. We ordered the lamb shank and steak and ale pie, which both came with fresh vegetables and a home made gravy The meals were excellent and plentiful and so reasonably priced. We have found a GEM! Pubs Like this are few and far between so the Beauchamp Arms deserves more patronage.

We visited this pub whilst travelling on the Broads. What a hidden gem. Friendly service, fantastic food and more importantly value for money. Highly recommended.

Please ignore any review posted before May 2015. The new people running the show here are doing a wonderful job. I popped in for a drink and something to eat on a VERY busy Sunday lunchtime. I ordered the Scampi, Chips, Peas and Salad which came very quickly and was cooked to perfection. There were many other choices on the extensive menu which looked just as good. There are ample eating areas all of which are very attractive and clean. Good beer also, including local ales. The bar staff are young, vibrant, and very nice. I would recommend this pub on the beautiful river Yare to anyone. And welcome and thank the new team running it. You are doing a great job.

This was a lovely pub/restaurant tucked away in the broads! Food was great and excellent value for Money. They are improving the premises and it felt very welcoming and had a great games room for the children.

This place is unrecognisable from the posts pre May 2015. New management are rapidly upgrading the pub. Superb location, excellent welcome and service. Sunday lunch carvery above average for pub grub and well priced. Would be worth 4 stars when the work is completed.

We stopped here for a late lunch whilst cycling in the area. The approach from the road is a little scruffy but once you get round the other side by the waterfront - wow! The staff were so friendly and helpful and rustled up some delicious warm baguettes. It was a beautiful day and absolutely idyllic sitting by the water watching the boats and the wildlife. Will definitely be going back and look forward to seeing it fully refurbished.

We visited this pub for the first time last year after walking Wherrymans Way. We only had a drink, and it was dismal and shabby, with rude service from a tattooed barman. However, having seem some better reviews, we decided to walk to the pub again with our dogs, and possibly have our evening meal there. The pub certainly looks better inside, and the man who served our drinks was polite. However, my husband visited the outside loos, and they were so disgusting that he stated he would not eat at the pub! Shame, as its in a lovely spot, appreciate it needs a lot of work and it will take time to complete, but clean loos are a basic necessity!

stopped here last week the new management couldnt do enough for us.our evening meal was good but the breakfast was the best we had all week,they even arranged for us to get it an hour early.it is in the process of redecoration and will be brilliant when it is finished .cant wait for next year to go back and see the finished article.if your passing stop and go in you wont regret it.

Forget all previous comments before May 2015. We (a party consisting of 12, a baby and a dog) visited this riverside pub this week only 4 days after the new owners had taken over and couldnt have made a better choice. The owners provided us with a superb evening meal which was clearly all freshly prepared with local produce. I would recommend the lamb shank with was the best Ive ever had. The next morning they served a superb full english breakfast which couldnt be surpassed even accommodating different requirements including a sausage sandwich. The pub is currently being redecorated inside and out but thisby no means detracts from the food or service which were 2nd to none. We wish the new owners all the very best in this venture and cannot thank you enough.

Me and my family came upon this pub on our recent trip to the broads and we are so glad that we did. The current owner could not do enough to accommodate the 13 of us including my 10 month old son at such a short notice. The food was out of this world both at tea time and breakfast and the service was incredible. He told us that he only took over the pub that week and the previous reviews were terrible. This pub has come far forward from the previous reviews and we ask that you ignore the past reviews and give it a chance. The owner has turned this pub around and I am sure he will make it a huge success.

Myself and my family visited this lovely pub and we are so glad we did. The food was outstanding homemade and clearly fresh and the new owners have done this place up lovely they went above and beyond to make our stay for a party of 12 without any notice. Would definately recommend this place please do not take any motice of past reviews as the new owners are welcoming friendly. Food was fantastic good luck in your new adventure. P.s thankyou for the food made up to take away for my 10month old son he ate every single bite.

We came upon this lovely riverside pub early in May which, to be fair, didn't look too open. The landlord came out to see us and said that, as he had only moved in that morning, he wasn't really doing food yet, although he could rustle up scampi and chips if that was any good [and a cheese bap with salad for the veggies]. We all agreed instantly, and were served very promptly by the gorgeous young chef - who, as is the way in Norfolk, had served us coffee elsewhere earlier in the day [I'd give that a good writeup too, except I've forgotten the name of the place]. The food was perfectly good, the landlord and his wife falling over themselves to help, even though suddenly feeding six people in the middle of moving in day must have been a pain and we left very full, delighted with the brilliantly kind service and all decided it was a highlight of the holiday.So, please forget the old reviews and give the new people a break - they're going to make it lovely.

So dissapointing! The new owner ( to be fair only 4 days) was lovely. The food,lacklustre , no garnish, no salad, was ok. Karaoke at 6 pm friday night? I think not! So disapointing, great building, great hosts, the rest mmm .,,,

Was told not to visit this place but was here anyway so decided to see what all the fuss was about.... We was still not prepared for what state the place was in. so sad really as we all said it had great potential as the surrounding area and location are beautiful. The beer (San Miguel) was off and most of the other beer was unavailable, ended up with bottles back on our boat. Toilets were filthy, broken glass outside and no atmosphere at all. A real shame! Someone please give this place the love it needs to bring it back to life as it could be somewhere really special x

Open all day, every day, 12 til late, good home cooked food blah blah blah! But apparently this doesn't include Tuesdays (28/4/2015) because at 1647hrs this place was well and truly shut! Not needed after a 7 mile hike! I made the effort, shame that you couldn't be bothered. Needless to say I won't bother again, especially with better alternatives on the southern broads. Perhaps you should change the sign by the river to... Might be open, Might not!!

What a load of rubbish. Wouldn't eat here. Had the worst meal ever. Bad quality didn't taste look fresh. Barman had dirty hands serving us drinks. He told me he was a builder/handyman covering as owner was short. Food wise I would avoid. The food we had wasn't fresh. Bad quality as well. Food does come with added extras thou. My misses got half a bowl extra with hers. At this point I almost throw up. The inlaws still wanted the mains and the builder had offered us a refund for the starters and to cancel the mains. But we stupidly carried on. The builder couldn't of been more sorry. And was embrassed. The chef owner came out to say sorry and got us a round of free drinks. Really dirty run done pub. Hasn't been looked after for years. God knows what the kitchen looks like.

This is the first pub in my time as a drinker that there was no ale what a joke ! All they had was that keg gas crap 15.00 on a Saturday afternoon give me strength wont be back there any time soon .The girl behind the bar did her best to help but mine host sat in the back did not give a feck "aint on was the answer".Dont waste your time people go some where else there is a lot better than that closer to hand .We just got the hell out of there

This is very much a work in progress environment and it needs a lot of attention to get it to the point that it is worthy of average. I am extremely conscious of not kicking people when they are down and are obviously doing their best but i would recommend closing and then opening when at least the bar area is done- thankfully we are coming to the end of the holiday season so focus can be applied to the enterprise ready for next year. On the plus side- the staff are doing their best and with a genuine smile- its location is perfect and therefore should draw in the crowds once it has been done up properly... so 10/10 for effort and 2/10 for attainment so far- dont lose heart- you have a core of a successful enterprise in location and staff- now you need to make the building and the environment work for them....

Have visited here 3 times in the last couple of months, The first time we stopped by boat and just had a few bevvies. It was tired and didn't look like a place I wanted to eat, although the food I did see looked.The place was being decorated and the bar staff friendly with the added bonus that they let my pampered pooch in. The second time we stopped, we were ravenous for food and out of options. I wasn't very hopeful but was really pleasantly surprised by the burger I opted for.It was homemade and very tasty with a fresh salad that came on a separate plate. Our last visit was on bank holiday w/end. We visited specifically to have the carvery and I have to say it was the best carvery I've had for a while. Whereas most places these days have tired, dried out meat, this was the complete opposite. All the meats were moist, there was a good selection of veg and everything was well cooked. The restaurant was full which is testament to the quality of the food and the improvements being made. Yes there is still decorating to be done and some things need tweaking but come on peops, give them a chance.

I really don't understand a couple of the recent reviews of this establishment, over the past couple of months the new tenants have made great strides towards improving the place beyond recognition. It had been allowed to decay by the owners for many years. While a succession of tenants have failed to halt the slide,the new Tenants however have carried out substantial refurbishment inside, work which is on going.We have eaten there a couple of times in the last month or so and on both occasions the food was excellent, I would go as far to say that the Carvery is the best we have had any where for a long time, the meats were perfectly cooked, not dried up,the vegetables were still crisp and not over cooked and the portions generous. At £6.95 for 1 course, £9.95 for 2 courses and £12.95 for 3 courses is great value when set against other water side eateries on the Broads.Yes there is still "a way to go" but things are certainly heading in the right direction and the number of people eating there when we visited was testament to that.

Would agree with Andrew S. The only saving grace was the chap behind the bar who was friendly. Such a beautiful spot, can't think why it's not been pulled down. Maybe the locals like it that way.

...was how we felt after our trip to the Beauchamp Arms, like the bouncy castle. Only the prices were inflated, served by a heavily tattooed barman who clearly hadn't been briefed on how to serve a Crabbies. After reading positive reviews about the change of ownership we decided to give it a chance, having avoided it for years, hoping to entertain the children with bouncy castle and play area, but they were dilapidated and covered in green slime. Even the new flooring was already sticky and the lack of moorings make it near impossible to visit by boat. We didn't risk the toilets or the food and the windows have definitely seen better days.

The service was slow and unfriendly, the food was OK at best. The man serving the carvery also doubled as a barman, with no apron. Dishes were cleared around people still eating during both courses! Desserts were inconsistent 4 Chocolate fudge cake 2 hot 2 cold, but without any consultation with us. Apple pie was Apple pudding and 8 desserts we had were dished up over the course of 30 mins in ones and twos. We sat there waiting for the ping of the microwave to indicate someone else would get a dessert.Outside tables were rotten, building in need of remedial maintenance.Would never go again

After previous terrible meals here we stopped by today for lunch thanks to reviews here outlining new management. There is certainly a lot still to do here as it has been neglected for years. Friendlier bar staff, an air of progress. Drinks were cold and served as asked for, with ice. Two massive starter salads, prawn and mackerel £4.75. Pleasant sitting by the river but can be breezy. Tables outside, walls inside being redecorated late July. Look forward to returning when more is done. It was a hot day, but we enjoyed a walk by the river. Long menus but honest food. Id rather eat here than Waters Edge which may be designer decorated but is unwelcome and serves overpriced too fancy food of variable quality.

We almost didn't stay after mooring up & seeing the down at heel exterior, filthy bouncy castle & weedy garden/patio but we were pursuaded to stay because of the convenient location. The inside isn't much better than the outside - I can't remember when I last saw such a depressing pub interior, tatty menus & dreadful loos. We were nervous of eating because the place was so grubby - however the cheesy chips were very nice & a very generous portion - of the 4 of us 2 had decent food, 2 not very good at all although the beer was good. We were served by a very sweet and helpful waitress & what might have been the owner who was also keen to help. Sadly despite this, the broken glass in a door, torn carpet & "Rising Damp" style decor and furnishings made me very glad to get back on the boat. I hate to leave a bad review if they' ve just taken over but even if there's no money for a major refurb a place needs at least to be clean & tidy. Bare floor boards, clean windows, a coat of white paint inside and out and ditch the Blackpool boarding house clutter & the pub could start to live up to the location. It's a big place & a big challenge but I wish them luck.

This pub has obviously changed hands this year and the young couple running it are trying very hard to get rid of its previous reputation. Of all the pubs in this area, this is in the most idyllic location. Having walked there from Rockland staithe on a very hot day, we sat outside in the shade right by the river. There are some proper chairs and tables as well as lots of picnic benches. The lunch time menu was extensive, delicious, well cooked and cheap. The homemade burger was memorable and the ham salad featured home cooked ham. We couldn't believe that there were so few people there. Renovation work was taking place inside but a lot of work is needed. Highly recommended for its location, food and beer (Woodfords).

Where to start really, well at the beginning i suppose. On arriving out side the Beauchamp Arms on a warm sunny Friday night in early June, it looked a little tired from the outside.But on venturing inside, yes it was a throw back 20 or so years, but what the decor lacked the staff certainly made up for. We started off on the Cornish Dunbar real ale, that went down rather easily. Now onto the food we all had starters, the smoked mackerel was served up with a side salad and brown bread and butter, two who fillets on each plate!. Then onto a house home made burger i had the surf n turn burger fries and again a good sized side salad. The others had various other burgers all as good as each other in fact. I can only give this pub an excellent rating, why not try it for yourself, here is a link to their new website that is going live very soon. http://www.beauchamparms.co.uk/ Charlie

This place is in a prime location on the River Yare between Norwich and Great Yarmouth. It's an attractive spot with plenty of mooring for the captive passing boat trade with no competition for miles in either direction along the Yare. We parked our car a couple of miles away near the New Inn in Rockland St Mary and had a pleasant walk along the waterways to the Beauchamp. Big mistake. Or as Julia Roberts said in Pretty Woman in the Rodeo Drive scene: HUGE mistake. To cut a long story short, I would recommend you direct your boat, car, feet, bicycle, pogo stick or whatever means of conveyance you have to the well managed New Inn - it, and the food, looks lovely when we stopped there for a drink after this sorry episode.We arrived about 11:30am on the spring bank holiday before the place was due to open at 12. This should have been a clue - there were other people sat outside along with about six boats with people waiting. On one of the biggest pay days of the year for a place like this, any manager with any sense might have thought it worthwhile to open an hour early maybe? No. But OK: it says 12 on the door, so fair play.The doors opened and I was second in a quickly forming queue, which rapidly grew to about 15 people, which wasn't helped by the first person ordering two lattes, something that always seems to throw British barstaff into disarray. There was a man around the bar who looked like he might have been the manager who was completely disinterested and at no time attempted to pitch in. I ordered drinks and food and sat down. Considering I was one of the first to order, the food took a long time to come. We had nearly finished our drinks so my wife joined the still long queue for the bar. She eventually got to the front just as our food arrived, but there was some crisis going on with another customer as the credit card machine wasn't working, so she had to abort the order before her food got cold.The food was a real throwback to the 1970s both in terms of the lack of imagination on the menu, the presentation and the quality. A particular thing to be aware of is the chicken burger - called firecracker or similar - this is an OK burger but with a large dollop of seriously hot ketchup like substance that renders it inedible to all but the the most ardent lovers of vinadaloo or phal curries. I was also astonished to find the lady serving the food was the more experienced of the two struggling bar staff - the other one, who seemed to be on her first day was left to work the bar on her own.The queue never really shortened significantly while we were there, so we never got our second drink. I dare say many other people felt the same, and many new arrivals probably just looked at the queue and went off somewhere else, so the Beauchamp must have lost a significant amount of takings because of the short sighted cost saving of not having enough bar staff.

This place is set in a lovely location,however the atmosphere is dead,the food is well below average,the toilets stink to high heaven and the staff are incompetent and rude!!!! O i almost forgot and if you are driving there then you really should go in a tractor as the road down to the pub is nothing but pot holes!!!

Called for lunch in November, no hot food except pasties, in fact no food at all except pasties and sandwiches. The beer was very good though, the staff helpful and friendly and the food was good and excellent value. The building though is very run down with torn carpets and poor decor.As others have said, a lovely location but the pub requires some serious investment or I fear its days will be numbered.

Was on a boating holiday stop he for the night as it was wifes birthday they owners snd staff were so frendly And the food was fantastic well worth the money and so much could not eat it all well done

What a rare find, we moored up at the Beauchamp Arms, not expecting alot. The food was amazing, the staff were some of the best we have come across on the Broads, we were made to feel like on of the locals. This pub might not be everyones cup of tea but if you want a good meal, good ale and a good night you need to visit this pub..........We will be back on Friday for the Karaoke. See you soon Beauchamp Arms Thank you for making our holiday .

This pub is a wonderful place, the staff are very pleasant and the food was excellent value for money. Will advise everyone to use this pub as it is the cheapest on the broads that we found. Brilliant time had by all.
