The Coachmakers Arms in Norwich

Amazing welcome have to say. A great latte for the Wife. Thought we'd be back every week at that point. That's where it stopped really. Flat pint of Nelson's. Reported it to Woodfordes. And pretty grubby interior and toilets. Could use a deep clean. Prices were pretty good though and Sky Sports was on. Make up your own mind for sure.

Really original olde world pub, good choice of food prices are excellent. Good place to meet up with friends.

A group of us meet up there at lunchtime once a month. A good range of well kept beers drawn direct from barrels out the back at a reasonable price. Food basic but cheap. Friendly barman and regulars.

Visited yesterday... Greeted by friendly bar staff and the atmosphere was very relaxed. Plenty of seating available and a beer garden out the back. Well worth a visit.

Horrible service. The employee was unhappy to have to work there. Not smile, grumpy, even though I tried to have a short conversation with him. Terrible guy. I will never go there.

The rudest bar staff member I have ever experienced. Bald guy, absolutely disgraceful service towards polite customers. I will never set foot in this pub again. Completely ruined an afternoon by interfering in a conversation that had nothing to do with him.

Popped in to see a mate...looked and seemed alright to me.

Wooden pub with lots of space :)

Needs a good clean. Beer flat and poured out of sight.

Very reasonably priced and great food and staff

Plenty of seating area's, hot food available, check if booking needed.

Great atmosphere. Lovely place for a pint and unwind. Friendly bar staff

So disappointed in the condition of the ales. Had 2 different beers and both were lifeless, no head and completely uninspiring. Such a shame, as the pub was warm and welcoming and a good atmosphere

A comfy traditional pub. The drinks were good and so was the service. I can't comment on the food because I didn't order any.

good little pub, but the selection of beers has reduced in recent years. would be nice if gents toilets got a clean

Cosy pub with a decent amount of seating & tables. Great service, can't complain 👍

My family and I love this pub. I genuinely think this is one of the best ones in the city. The bar staff are lovely and the atmosphere is brilliant. I haven’t had any of food yet but it is very reasonably priced and does look scrumptious from what I have seen. I’m sure I’ll be back in again before I know it.

Dark and dingy. What a waste of a beautiful old pub. No atmosphere.

Great City centre pub with a good range of beers and very reasonably priced food. Staff also very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended

Lovely little cozy place for a pint and food

Lovely cosy pub, typical man’s pub, meaning lots of locals (men) use it, but had a warm welcome from barman . We sat in the corner and played a few card games while the locals watched the tv.

The food was nice but limited choice for vegetarian food 😋

Lack of atmosphere and lack of choice of cider. For a real ale pub. Pity a more positive approach to real ciders.. or anything apart from aspall... Norfolk has some amazing ciders..... Use them..... almost empty on a Saturday late afternoon..

Ales straight from the barrel! More of this sort of thing, please.

As always great beer and welcoming staff. A real gem ....

Will not ever set foot in here again. The last review I gave was 5 stars, but now it has gone downhill in a massive way. No dogs allowed. Why? I've always been in with my well-behaved dog and no complaints. You would not have known he was with me as he is so quiet and everyone who sees him admires him. What has gone on with this pub? Such a shame.

Great place, nice staff , excellent beer.

Great pub, more traditional feel to it, prices are ok, friendly staff, the place can be a bit quiet at times but good if you want a chat over a pint. Not quite as busy as pre pandemic days but one of the only few decent pubs left in the city.

Love this pub. Great food and beer at ridiculously good prices

Claimed to be super dog friendly and wasn't. Went in the door and were met with 'no dogs in the bar' exposing the myth as described on their website. To be fair to them, the staff were pleasant about it and were 'only following orders', but we all know where that can lead... They had a decent selection of ales, but when they aren't well kept, you might as well drink Heineken. I'd have walked out if a friend who got there first hadn't just bought one of their dodgy pints. We were shepherded to a characterless barn area where the only people in were football fans. We left pretty sharpish and found a much better reception and beer (Batemans) round the corner at the Champion. This is a pub I will not be returning to - there are many far better boozers in Norwich, some very close by.

Love this pub. Great beer and tasty food all at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended. Staff are always friendly and it's one of the best pubs in Norwich.

Loved the whole atmosphere and food superb and landlord too.

Love the place. Original old bar with all the features. Roaring fireplace when it cold. Great selection of beers/ales on tap. Food was superb at the time, not sure kitchen is still functional. No Sunday roasts.

Apologiues for originaly posting wrong review went to loads of places in Norfolk over two weeks. Was stopping in local hotel. Visited twice the same day 3 people the first time .First quick pint was OK. Later that evening visited with 3 friends the barman didn't recognise any of us the pub was v quite , The Barman was Stocious ,taking each pint order one by one and aggressively telling each of us to stand aside. After several attempts went to get order from cellar a couple of step down evey time he went to cellar he fell on steps. On return with drinks they were being spilt .Two beers were compleatly flat ,the 3rd was cloudy, my friend didn't drink it and we were reluctant to complain. The place also smellt not sure it was drainage or off beer. There were a couple of other guys visiting who couldn't stop laughing about the situation lucky for them they were drinking larger as were the couple of locals at bar. I hope this was a one off everyone has bad days but in my 65 years I've never seen anything like this.If its not a one off please get some help. Lovely old building inside which is why we popped back in hope of a good pint.

Nice pub, good atmosphere and pleasant staff

Nice beer. Nice food. Ales on gravity.

Never knew this place existed. Great staff, lovely outdoor seating and a great place to watch the footy

Good, honest, friendly boozer with generous array of ales, tapped from the barrel in tip-top condition. The stones throw from the city centre makes it a definite for those wishing to escape its more pretentious and pricey neighbouring competitors.

Lovely pub on outskirts of city centre. Real ale and lagers by the plenty. Friendly atmosphere with plesent staff.

Very Good Pub to have your daily break with few drinks. Nice enviroment with darts and pool games few minutes from the city center. Also shows live sports

Coachmakers carries on being a welcoming pub. It's also a warm pub in cold weather 😁 Food is good but, unfortunately, not always available. This pub remains a very friendly, warm, pub..

A really great city pub. We went for lunch on a Wednesday. The pub was nice and busy, and warm on a cold day. The menu here is very reasonably priced, and the food is excellent - I wished that I'd had the ham, egg and chips which looked delicious. Great selection of well kept ale and friendly staff who checked that the food was ok and said goodbye as we left. We'll certainly go back. Well done.

Cracking service, great pint and lovely food. I've been coming to Coachmakers for a while and never been disappointed, come over and try yourself!

Had christmas day dinner here and food was hot and tasty

Nice place ..Quite no music ..no pool ..

Good atmosphere. Nice beer and reasonably priced.

Always very accomodating and friendly

Good pub with a good selection of ales.

Got bigger but still a great pub after 40yrs

Popped in here whilst on weekend break and enjoyed a cider one evening, the staff where friendly aswell as the locals, I wouldn't hesitate in coming back. P,s a nice selection of real ales are on offer aswell.

Great friendly pub, good selection of well priced ales and food 👍

A lovely old fashioned pub with a good sized beer garden

Good value for money on drinks and food. Comfy bar

Lovely Ale I had there Lovely staff

Considering it was a Saturday night, there was only about 4 people in the whole pub... not an issue but the bar man made us wait and then it was such an effort which is weird considering he wasn't rushed of his feet!

Cracking pub, really friendly staff, we were staying at a hotel 5 minutes down the road so walked up for a couple of drinks on the Friday evening, Great atmosphere and even though we had never stepped foot in the place before, we were made to feel very welcome by the bar staff and other customers, drinks are inexpensive compared to other establishments in the area.

Couldn't fault it. Friendly, psychic, staff. Reasonable prices for the drinks in the city centre, very reasonable for ales. Nice, cosy ambience and clean, if functional, toilets.

Nice cooked breakfast, reasonably priced, friendly atmosphere.

Tuesday night, quiet, but a very nice place ,nice choice of ales, staff and locals very pleasant 😀

So, great old building with depths of character and a classic pub feel. Boasting up to 10 ales and 5 on during the week, however, an extremely generic range which you can find nearly anywhere else. Woodforde's staple range, Adnam's staple range and the horrendous Greene King (much like all GK because cancer company) Abbot Ale. Doesn't serve food weekday evenings despite their website still stating weekdays lunch AND dinner. Was told only Friday evenings since covid. Lastly, not what I would consider dog friendly. We were told we had to take "the dog" (spoken in that manner) to the courtyard. The courtyard is converted into a characterless, cold feeling without atmosphere sports bar. Not very welcoming at all. Now, why we were told we had to sit there instead of the main bar with our dog? No idea. 2 stars because the main pub is still old and has tons of character.

Good pub...Great bar staff...good service and good beer...big thumbs up!!!

Beautiful traditional pub with lovely staff and courtyard.

Nice pub very friendly and good Aspalls

Lovely classical feeling indoors and a lively little beer garden out back

Always have a good pint here and plenty to choose from

Nice pub good for watching a football match , if your into that 😊👍👍👍👍

I love the fact I can attend a writing class there in a quiet place upstairs and have a pint at the same time if I should feel so inclined 😁

Love this place and Roy keeps beer in perfect condition. Good selection as well

Very good. Not busy when I visited, nice atmosphere.

Their Sunday roast is one of the best there is in Norwich.

Great pub in Norwich City centre

Love this pub, we chanced upon it whilst away on work and popped in for a couple of pints before our evening meal. We sat near the fire which was very warm indeed. The whole place was pretty relaxed and old fashioned just like pubs should be. The beer was exceptionally well kept, hence we had to pints!

Just out of the city centre, cheap and tasty food and a good selection of drinks at very reasonable prices.

Weren't in there long but great atmosphere and love the look of it. A proper British pub in my eyes.

Very pleasant Aged Building with much history. Large outside seating area..will return in Spring/Summer. Sadly no food available, but Very Acceptable Takeaway next-door.

Recommend by many Locals. Found it on my last day in Norwich. Friendly, great choices of Ales .Pleasant outside seating area. A must for Sports Fans .Menu looks interesting, will return.

Nice old pub, friendly staff and good choice of real ale. Food available. Close to city centre. 19 minutes walk to NCFC.

Played a board game in their back room.

Nice relaxing atmosphere and got sports on TV, what more do you want 👍

Cosy city pub with good range of beers

I was first in the pub with my dad in the 80's so I've always loved the place.

Amazingly I don't think I had ever been in before until Tuesday 23rd November. Sat and had a diet cola and a packet of salt and vinegar crisps, apparently the only sort available at the time.

Fantastic value in an traditional setting.

Enjoyed the visit, atmosphere drink and very good for a city pub

Proper Pub , good beer, welcoming, nice staff will call in again next time we are in Norwich.

Great pub with good ales on gravity.

Good ale friendly efficient staff.

Food always good , service and drink good as always . Live sport always on tv which is good too .Barman always friendly as always . A good place for good food and good atmosphere.
