Gardeners Arms in Norwich

Update on 25/8/24 - Real Ales, perfectly kept! Food was delicious, very tasty! Staff were excellent. Highly recommended! Back at the top of my pub list! Perfectly kept ale and good food! Best city centre pub in Norwich.

Traditional British Pub of the city. The best vegan burger 🍔 I have ever had in the city. Super delicious and fresh. The place has wonderful vibes.

As a visitor to the town we received a warm welcome as soon as we entered,food,service,drinks and atmosphere were all excellent.Definately our 'go to' place next time we visit.

Great pub, lovely food and staff. Authentic Britsh pub with a good vibe.

Fantastic boozer, friendly and informative staff. Lovely lunch and drink very reasonable priced. Timber beams and little snug areas, plenty of local Ales to chose from.

1st Class Service for Everything

Fantastic traditional pub. A rare breed nowadays. Good food with great selection of beer. Atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

My surprise birthday party was held here, food was quite honestly the best buffet I’ve ever had - selection of hot and cold foods and the amount was amazing. We had our own bar area and staff so attentive and friendly Really could not of done more to assist. 100% would recommend and will definitely visit again soon

Great authentic pub run by a well known landlord in the city. Great selection of drinks and not expensive for a city centre pub. Food amazing and the food for our Buffet was outstanding. Friendly bar staff and great vibe in the heart of the city, very famous pub know as The Murderers to the locals and even in the UK.

Brilliant food, excellent service, friendly staff, could not fault in any way, Thank you.

Aka the murderers. Gone a bit downhill since last visit a year ago, a hodge podge of okay kept ales and they no longer seem to do paddles(?) Seem to be resting on their laurels but there are better pubs nearby now

Just been in this pub. The pub itself is lovely and quirky, not what we expected but the food... Major let down. I had the chicken burger with chips which was warm, that warm that the cheese on the burger hadn't even melted and the bacon was cold. My partner had the steak and ale pie which was really dry, it definitely needed the gravy which came with it but that was cold! After sending it back, it eventually came back warm. Such a shame but won't be returning.

Fantastic traditional pub, really qwerky, friendly, helpful staff who go out of their way for u. Great quality pub grub, very reasonable prices, loads of choice on the menu for food & drinks

A 1! Because I can't give them a 0.

Great old feel pub. Great for an after work pint. Always lively.

Dirty place with very rude staff and management. I will never return.

Just a really poor pub. Awful attitude of staff also. Would not recommend.

Dont think they clean the pipes, the pint was full of black bits and was dead, had to ask three times for a decent pint and was treated like a leper. Horrible owner, didn't like that i spoke welsh with my family.

Very good service nice food friendly staff lovely family place e.t.c.

Busy place lots of different rooms to sit And eat big screen TV as well

correct, fast. precise. and you can accept the prices

Really nice, interesting pub with a wide range of ales available, known as the Gardeners Arms or more commonly The Murderers

Great pub with lots of lots of nooks and crannies . Good choice of ale

Better known by it's pseudonym 'The Murderers', it is a well known local hostelry and purveyor of real ales - a must for lovers of Norfolk real ales including their own 'Murderers Ale' brew. Always busy, space is sometimes at a premium and the toilets are small but clean (& even have TVs in front of the urinals to keep up to speed with the latest Premier league managerial sacking!). In summary, a pub full of character, Norwich character, with bar staff who are willing to go the extra mile; taking group photos etc.

Lovely food and friendly staff and great for beer drinkers too

One of the better inner city pubs. A lot of sport is usually on, but it's a big enough place that you can avoid that if you want. Not really my sort of place but can appreciate it's a well-run bar with a good offer of drinks.

Very good service and friendly staff the food was very good

Good selection of ales, staff were friendly but some of locals a bit off putting!

Great atmosphere. Owner came out and gave us some fascinating history about the pub. Would definitely come back! Murders Ale was great.

Great food, good selection of gin, cosy old pub feel. My favourite pub in Norwich!

A really nice pub, but drinks are quite expensive compared to the Fat Cat.

Excellent service, staff very accommodating for families with young kids, great food!

Great pub good food , great staff

A familiar old pub - good beer nice nosh... and occasionally quirky service

Great atmosphere love Phil the landlord

See review about Murderers Pub as it's the same place but one side of pub sign is Murderers and other side is Gardeners Arms........ it's a long story... Do visit though as the bar man will tell you thw story of signage.

Huge range of very good beers, good food

One of the few real pubs left. A great atmosphere and great beers, with all sporting events on. You can't ask for much more.

Great Thursday music. Shame it's only one night a week.

This pub, locally known as the Murderers Arms, is a splendid, wood beamed, multi-floored pub with excellent pub food. The Norfolk sausages, mash and gravy is mouthwatering and the steak and ale pie? The same. There is a large selection of real ales on tap with a number of local ales well worth trying. The pub is decorated by broadsheet stories of murderers which add to the atmosphere when you find out why it's called the Murderers Arms. The back of the pub has a lovely selection of concert posters from the sixties and seventies. Even better, on Thursday it has live blues. All this does not cost a fortune - in fact, both beer and food are eminently affordable. For visitors to Norwich, it is not to be missed.

Great friendly pub good beer good staff the best in town

Host is brilliant. Beers are kept perfect and food very tasty.

Goodt pub with a fairly wide variety of beers

Very friendly good choice of drinks and very good menu - heart of the city a great pub. Watch football too what else do you need??

It's all about the beer. I left mine.

Nice pub with big garden. Big choice of drink The menu is caried and seeced in very good portion as well for a good price. I recommand the place.

Very good City center pub with good sports on tv.

Always a good range of drinks including real ales and ciders

Gardeners arms/murderers is my most favourite pub restaurant plus sports bar with its craft beers and ciders and every other drink imaginable friendly staff good food and coffee and the landlord is a gent.

I love this place, it's my local when I'm in the town. The landlord & his staff are such lovely people & great banter too, I've become friends with some here, the food is gorgeous also, very tasty, ample portion size, fresh quality & well worth the money! 😊

Very nice pub for drinks +snacks

I've always liked this pub. It's a little on the expensive side but good beer selection, plenty of sports and friendly staff.

Nice little pub, had a lovely pint there and the staff were chatty.

Favorite pub in Norwich. Been visiting for over 20 years.

Great traditional pub right in Norwich city centre serving a good ale choice (3 thirds paddles available) with a friendly welcome.

Great old fashioned pub with love music
