Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Berney Arms Inn
Legendary pub, due to its isolated - at least for southern England - location in the Norfolk Broads, and for having no road access. Arriving by rail at the eponymous request stop (with its little wooden platform too short to even accommodate a two-car train), the exit just leads to a footpath which heads to towards the equally eponymous windmill on the river bank (on from where you can just about make out another building around a bend to the east. As you approach, you begin to make out a very weather-worn exterior but thankfully this houses a cosy and traditional main bar with lots of nautical decor within. Smaller and plainer side room with table football, and a lounge with pool table beyond. Basic riverside beer garden. Moorings. Two of four handpumps in operation, offering a pair of Humpty Humpty beers - Little Sharpie and Nord Atlantic. After a break for lunch, it was a bracing walk back along the Yar to Reedham. In it's own, old-fashioned way, a genuine destination pub. PS - Closes for the winter, and the best day to visit is a Sunday because there is train every two hours.

Andy Ven left this review about The Berney Arms Inn
On the north bank of the River Yar, between Great Yarmouth and Norwich. You can't get here by road so if you're lucky you can get a boat from Haven Bridge in Great Yarmouth or the (seemingly) once a day train to Berney Arms station. Boaters moor up outside and stop for a swift one. Walkers have to make their way across publiv footpaths from Reedham or Halvergate 3 1/2 miles away. We chose the latter and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the stroll. The pub itself was OK, the novelty was in its remoteness. The walk into Great Yarmouth afterwards was a bit of a drag, though, I must admit.
