Norfolk Wildlife Trust own the property and are leasing it to Rick and Felicity Malt, who will run the pub.

We will work in partnership with NWT, we are committed to ensuring that the pub works in harmony with the interests of Norfolk Wildlife Trust, including aligning with our core values and playing a valuable role in welcoming people to Hickling Broad and Marshes to enjoy and learn about the area and its special wildlife

Yes, The Pleasure Boat Inn does welcome dogs with doggie snacks and water bowls.

We do ask for dogs to be kept on leashes at all times during your visit.

However, we will continue to kindly ask that you don't bring dogs to Hickling Broad and Marshes nature reserve due to the sensitive wildlife and habitats found at the site

The pub is family friendly throughout with baby changing facilities in both mens and ladies bathrooms. We also have a selection of games located in the snug area to use.

We have invested to ensure that the pub is now accessible to those with mobility impairments. There are dedicated and paved accessible parking spaces, level access into the pub as well as new accessible toilets.  

Yes, there is a free car park situated as you drive in. There are no marked spots, other than the disabled parking, so we do ask you park responsibly allowing as many cars to fit as possible.

We aim to ensure that the pub works in harmony with the interests of Norfolk Wildlife Trust. As such we will operate with a strong focus on the environment and sustainability, such as reducing the use of plastic, using locally sourced ingredients and exploring ways of harnessing green energy where possible.

We will employ best practice standards in the recruitment and management of their staff and are committed to working in partnership with local communities to ensure they are a great neighbour, and provide a welcoming and accessible offer for all.

There are several free moorings available right outside the pub. These are available to pub customers for up to 48 hours. There are also other free 24-hour moorings nearby – you can find out more about these on the Broads Authority website.
