Pub entertainment in Norfolk

  1. A

    Adam & Eve's

    A 13th-century brew-house built to quench the thirst of cathedral builders, this is now Norwich's oldest-surviving pub, and an adorable little sunken-floored gem. So snug it is that the upper bar barely fits the barmaid, perhaps why the staff has a reputation for grumpiness! Take a pew outside amid the old-mangle flowerpots, or keep an eye out for the resident ghost in the character-rich interior.

    Ten Bells

    This is this kind of faded 18th-century pub where people feel instantly at ease, calmed by the real ales, mellow red velvet and quirky memorabilia and amused by the red phone booth in the corner. It also fancies itself as an intellectuals' hang-out, with poetry readings and arts-school regulars.

  3. Fat Cat

    If you’re a true connoisseur of real ales, don’t miss Norwich’s mecca for ale lovers. The decor is Any Pubblington, Wherever, but it’s what is behind the bar that counts: 32 – count 'em! – real ales, including their own Marmalade Cat and lesser-known gems such as Spectrum Trip Hazard and Burton Bridge Stairway to Heaven. A chirpy crowd of locals and outdoor seating seal the deal. Head west from the centre along St Benedict's St, which merges into Dereham Rd at the junction. Follow the road for another 600m, then turn right into Nelson St and right again into West End St.

    Ten Bells

    This is this kind of faded 18th-century pub where people feel instantly at ease, calmed by the real ales, mellow red velvet, battered armchairs and quirky memorabilia, including an ancient red phone booth in the corner. It also fancies itself as an intellectuals' hang-out, with poetry readings and arts-school regulars.
