A good old fashioned pub on the edge of the city, seasoned regulars and a great landlady. What more could you ask for? Service with a smile and a community drinking in their local, fantastic!

Still a great place to meet up with family and friends, also a great pub to meet up before and after a Norwich home game. Still one of the best pubs around.

Ecxellent beer chioce and well kept. Taster flights availible. Local celeb is poppy the brown lab pub dog. A great place to relax with friends. Pub snax only but encourages eat ins from local take aways like the chippy a few doors along. All in all decent evening that felt like a evening in and out at the same time.

Nice friendly pub!!! The bar has a good selection of beers and other drinks. There is plenty of space to sit, including a conservatory space which is nicely decorated and a pub garden with a shelter area, good for smokers. The staff are friendly and accommodating and it’s perfect to sit and have a chat with a few drinks. Dogs allowed too!

Walked in the pub at 6pm. It felt like the Mary celeste. old boy sitting in the corner reading a newspaper was the only person in the pub. l waited at the bar for 5 mins and nobody was to be seen. l then thought l would check out the ales to see what delights were on offer. Very pleased to see Dark star APA but then saw the price. £4.90 a pint. l made a sharp exit and shall not be going back. No wonder the pub was empty. Reading the reply from the owner made me laugh. l drank in this pub for 25 years before the present owner arrived. Not once did l ever arrive to a empty bar and the prices were always very reasonable. Thank you for your offer adnams theres a reason its cheap. l would not drink it if it was free and you paid me to drink it. Your prices are extortionate perhaps you should make a visit to the fat cat nelson st. You might well learn something if you want to stay open. Please do not make references to wetherspoon, they are not pubs and in my opinion neither is yours.

Cracking pub, always a welcome awaiting you here. Great range of real ales and you can bring in your carry out food, plates and cutlery provided by the pub. It's about 10 mins walk from the city centre and well worth the walk. I can recommend Roti Indian restaurant for a carry out - about two minutes walk if you decide to eat in the pub, alternatively there is a fish a chip shop a few doors away (not open on a Monday though!).

Food awful but the beer is great. In covid days you'd think a more reasonable price rather than a fiver for what truly was atrocious fare would generate more interest in those of us going out for beer with a compulsory snack. It's almost a tax which I will pay but will leave the food in future.

A great little pub on the Hall Road. I think you can bring your own food in from the nearby Chinese takeaway or the Fish and Chip Shop, which is great. Nothing beats a pint with your curry or your fish and chips. On the times I have been here, it has struck me as being a typical local pub. I had an Aspall Cyder, and a pork pie, which was for me, a rare treat. The atmosphere during my visit was friendly and it seemed to be busy in the front bar area. I will recommend it to others if you like a friendly atmosphere.

Since changing hands at the beginning of 2015 the Kings Arms has been somewhat blandly redecorated and lost some of its former quirky, cosy character. Ales are still pretty good quality, monthly Wednesday quiz is happily reinstated but not hitting the heights of its legendary predecessor: Rik's quiz was bound to be a hard act to follow! They still let you bring your own takeaway food in and provide plates and cutlery, this was always a big customer attraction for a pub that no longer does food itself. So far I'm encouraged to keep coming.

I left sad and annoyed. I have favourably reviewed this cafe in the past but it has all changed now, and not for the better. The kitchen has gone, and with it the expresso machine. Frankly, this can hardly claim to be a cafe. I paid £5.70 for a miserable excuse for a cappuccino and a flapjack. The coffee was very weak, with thin froth on the top. The flapjack was decent, but the bill was a joke. I will remember the old days with affection, but I won't be going back.

We found this little cafe online as we were looking for a dog friendly stop in Norwich. The staff were so friendly and definitely dog lovers. The lattes were really good. We both had panini's which were toasted and came with a lovely little bit of salad and coleslaw which were delicious. The other food, especially the sausage rolls looked good. It has a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Beautiful building but music room far too cramped and too hot. Not impressed with the candlelight concert 31-10-24, I felt it wasn’t worth the money for an hour of music and it was uncomfortable throughout. String quartet good musicians but didn’t think the Coldplay set worked - personal opinion
