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

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.

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.

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..

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
