Not local to me but popped in recently and I'm glad it's still going as it's still a proper old pub - not many of those left in the city centre. Great beer selection. Feels like a "use it or lose it" candidate, so I'd better go in more often!

Have just been for the fastest of couple of pints and food in a small window I created for myself. The staff opened the kitchen early for us, fired the food out and were so friendly in all of it. This is a really great welcoming pub. If I’m back in Norfolk, I’ll be right back here!

I popped in by accident, wanting a healthy lunch in an independent somewhere nr bus station. Couple of items I wanted from the menu were not available (so choose my unhealthier version). Cheeseburger n chips with salad side garnish. Food was great, quadruple cooked chips (yum) very generous serving. Took home what I couldn't manage in a container which staff generously supplied me with. All in all, great attentive staff, good food, reasonably priced and varied background music.

Very much a locals pub, reminded me a little of two films "Hot Fuzz" and "American werewolf in London". The atmosphere was definitely there. It was nicely decorated for Halloween and the bar staff had different costumes on which was fun and very well done. There was lots of drinks to choose from too, a nice array of on draught. I choose the classic pint of Guinness which was £5.10 Pretty good for a city centre location

Interesting place, some real characters hang around, but very friendly. Went on a Monday and there was a jamming session, weirdly couldnt hear it much but there must have been 20-25 musicians in a side room playing - great to see as I couldn't hear! Batemans beer, triple x, xb and gold - 4.6, 3.7 and 3.9 respectively, think they have 2 or 3 others on most of the time - Morette is the main Lager. Pork scratching and scampi fries were eaten, big plus in my mind. Karaoke 🎤 on a Sunday night - very busy. And I think they serve food - didn't see any but there is a menu which looks good. Good feel to the place.

Today my son was accused of using drugs in the toilets and was asked to finish our drinks and leave whilst using the toilets (my son is diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome) This comment was not appreciated, we visited the pub yesterday with no problems and the staff were friendly. We are just visiting from Devon and only came for my daughter’s graduation ceremony at UAE. Shame on you the Champion for ruining our otherwise very delightful trip to Norwich.

Have been coming to this pub since the late 90s, but less so the past 3 or 4 years. I have been a couple of times in the past month, having a BLT sandwich both times. I like the atmosphere, the music is of the 50s and 60s are playing on the jukebox when I come in on Friday lunchtime. The staff are friendly and I intend to come in every week hopefully.
