Premier acquires Boatfolk

Partly the existence of dining facilities depends not just on crew structure (family/lads/retirees etc) but also what’s around by way of culinary completion . Hence you could probably berth at Lym YH say and not be overly concerned at whether there is space at onsite dining facility . With the lovely views etc always pleasant there and plenty of reasonable choices in town or pubs. If at Portland however the local choices more limited (yes I know there are some ) but given size of site it cannot be impossible to offer basic fare along lines of Cote or Prezzo,giggling squid etc - . In Weymouth there are at least a few decent places in town. Likewise in places like Yarmouth or cowes. Even Ocean village has a reasonable selection of places to venture. Haslar was dire but as said Maria’s return has at least led to someone running the eateries in a customer centric manner which are on site. I recall those at Clarence are not too bad either and of course Gosport has Gunwharf to offer more variety if the town choices dot attract but Pebbles on beach isn’t bad . At Bembridge if Pizza doesn’t attract it’s a short journey to the Old Fort at Seaview although the Birdham hotel has improved recently under the new owners.

You could do a Marina 'good food guide'. Very comprehensive.

One thing that Haslar and Gosport Marinas offer is easy access to Gosport with plenty of eateries, both eat in and take out. I think the only Michelin guide they would attract is for used tyres. However there is a decent Chinese and chippy near the ferry terminal. 10 mins walk for me, and I’m very happy eating on board.

The Great Wall is one of the greatest sailors' restaurants on the South Coast - 2 hours to eat as much as you can whilst quaffing white wine from a vase. Our crews love the place, followed by a trip to Emma's.

There was once a small guide to Solent based eateries rather outdated now but think something the size of Wight Hazards- as said there are some stalwarts eg the China wall in Gosport or the castle tavern which might not appeal to those crew more accustomed to Cote or blancs brasserie fayre but if new to Gosport certainly an experience which a visiting foreign yachts person might enjoy. We don’t tend to eat that much in Gosport as our home port but the pub at Hardway is worth a mention plus the cocked hat which seems to have a large locall following.

This will mean that you can berth your boat overnight for free at any of the newly acquired marinas as well providing you take a yearly berth at a Premier Marina, I was told from an employee at Chichester.

Did they mention when this would take effect?
