Only popped in for one but what a quaint old pub. Typical old wooden flooring and furniture makes for real old fashioned pub feel. They don't do food at all but welcome customers bringing in their own

Not going to waste to much time on this . Asked for 4 1/2's of cider reply after starting to pour the 1st then "it just gone off and Iam to busy to go and change it" won't be to put out at this but the barmans attitude was unbelievable . Never crossing the door of this place again.

One of the best real ale pubs in the city! Serves some absolutely cracking food! If you're a meat eater and need a snack, don't buy crisps unless they've ru out of sausage rolls (ask at the bar or forever regret your life choices)

No nonsense, unspoilt boozer with a good selection of well kept cask ales and also an interesting menu of Belgian bottled beers. Small front bar, larger back bar with a bar billiards table. Brilliant!

In a city with an unequalled choice of excellent real ale pubs, this pub must offer the best range of beers. It is the Norwich pub which I have patronised the most often and I have always been delighted with the ales on offer. We came here last week, forging our own eleven pub ale trail through the city, leaving the the King's Head to cap a superb trip to the county.

Probably the best traditional pub in Norwich, quality ale. Not sure if they do food, excellent range of crisps and often have seasonal bar snacks on offer. One of the best real ale pubs in Norwich and in the twilight zone between the gentrified and salt of the earth parts of Magdeline street. Great place for those who don’t want cookie cutter tourism. There are some very eclectic and large antique shops nearby.

Had a weird olde skool vibe about it. Great selection of drinks including a cracking variety of Belgian ales. Toilets were functional. People were playing bar billiards in the back room, which was awesome! Prices weren't too bad to be fair. Has an outside area which is shown on an historic map as 'Kingshead yard'

If you want a proper old school pub in the heart of Norwich the King's Head is the pub to visit that's for sure. Wooden floors, bar billiards and just very good chat with the locals. Serves Norfolk and national real ale and it's kept in top nick as well. Plus real cider if you're into your cider. The atmosphere is really good as well and the staff are very good at their job too. I would recommend popping in if you have the time.

The Kings Head was the local Norwich CAMRA branch Pub of the Year for 2022, which is some achievement when you consider the competition it is up against in this fine Ale city. A nice two room city centre pub which has very much the feeling of a traditional ale house, especially in that it does not offer many, if any keg products. The available real ales are spread across the pumps in both the front and back bars but fortunately there is a chalk board in the plainer front bar as you enter that details all that are on in both bars. For my inaugural visit as part of our Norwich crawl Green Jack Brewery’s Golden Best and Trawlerboys, Hop Monster’s Banshee Porter, Newby Wyke Brewery’s Benvoilio, Humpty Dumpty’s Swallowtail and Brewer’s Reserve and Derby Brewing’s Quintessential were the available ales alongside two real ciders. There’s also a decent list of Belgian beers and some craft products avialable in bottles. I went for the Humpty Dumpty Swallow tail in my continuing quest to drink local on this crawl and it was a very pleasant drop. I found this a very friendly pub with a friendly set of regulars and it’s very easy to strike up conversations with like minded souls and fellow drinkers in this pub. Young drinkers were also in evidence on this early evening so cannot really understand the negative review below. Although I could imagine that like any pub or club, the regulars probably do not take kindly to shouty mobile phone using plonkers, which could explain it.

Absolute classic boozer…..the finest in Norwich, nay maybe even Norfolk. The front bar is in a time warp! Like being at a beer festival. Best to drink halves. Like all the best ale pubs, there is no food just snacks. But they do a mean pork pie. The manager Charlie is a legend in his own lunch time. Lovely guy and REALLY knows how to keep beer. No citra hops in sight, thank goodness. Can’t get enough of the place. If you love fine English ale (sadly well on the wane), you MUST try this epic pub. It’s an absolute stunner. Don’t go if you want style over substance. Do go if you want English beer at its finest.

Super old-school in the best possible way. It may be in a hard-done-by part of Norwich's city centre but this pub is an oasis. The beer selection is always excellent and wide. There is something very satisfying about their limited snack menu which consists mainly of pickled eggs, pork pies, and pork scratchings.

Several visits pre and post Covid restrictions have proven this pub to live up to its award winning reputation, a mixed clientele but with knowledge bar staff who provide some of the best ales and level of service in the county. Each visit I've been made to feel welcome and at ease. Traditional pubs such as this are often a thing of the past but with this traditional approach it really showcases the best of pub culture in Norwich and Norfolk. A must visit.

This is a small pub which has eschewed food, comfortable seating, ales with a head, music and all other similar fripperies . What it does have is a range of well kept local beers and a bagatelle table which you are not invited to use despite the bar staff occasionally using it themselves. Go for a quiet pint as your grandfather would have done.

Lunch with disabled parents. Friendly welcome by Maggie who showed us several table options and offered to take parents to and from the disabled toilet. Also severed by Maggie at the bar - busy lady as the restaurant was pretty full. Food a little slow arriving but the mixed grill and gammon we properly cooked not fling and ping when happens elsewhere. Mixed was excellent with good cuts of steak and gammon and quality sausages. Also FOC swap to jacket potato. Deserts also nice and meals not overpriced with their 25% off deals. Toilets could do with a revamp / some TLC. Otherwise very good find for lunch.
