25th anniversary celebrated with launch of food guide and Flagondry ale
in News
A must have food guide for visitors to the Broads and a speciality beer, Flagondry, has been launched to celebrate the Broads Authority’s 25th anniversary.
Eating Out in the Broads, sponsored by the Broads’ largest operator, Richardson’s Boating Holidays of Stalham, guides the visitor to the best eateries the Broads has to offer.
Traditional pubs, speciality seafood restaurants and cosy riverside tea rooms, all serving local ingredients, have been quality checked by independent assessors and awarded either gold, silver or bronze.
The brochure also includes bike and canoe hire outlets, boat trips, visitor centres, yacht stations and a map.
The Fur and Feather Inn at Woodbastwick is one of the eateries featuring in the guide and offers the new Woodforde’s beer, Flagondry – brewed exclusively to celebrate the Broads Authority’s 25th anniversary.
A golden, zesty ale using Norfolk’s finest ingredients including Maris Otter and honey, the inspiration behind Flagondry is that dragonflies are commonly seen in the Broads.
Woodforde’s managing director, Rupert Farquharson says: “Our brewery is close to Salhouse, considered the heart of the Norfolk Broads, so we are delighted to brew this beer to mark a special occasion.
The pubs around the Broads play a key role in our region’s tourism industry and we hope visitors to this beautiful part of the world enjoy a refreshing pint of Flagondry – a true taste of Norfolk.”
Greg Munford, Chief Executive of Richardsons, said: “This is a great publication produced by the Broads Authority which helps anyone holidaying or visiting the Broads to choose where to go when they fancy a meal on shore or even a takeaway fish and chips!
We hope the wide distribution of this guide will promote the establishments included and reward those who have committed to the grading. We want people to enjoy the broads by experiencing the magic that the Broads and its tourism businesses have to offer.”
