Champion, Norwichback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Bateman's pub, just outside the city walls and near the bus station. Choice of 5 real ales, and the XB was on good form. Only niggle is the slightly annoying piped (jazz) music, otherwise a very decent place for a pint.

A friendly Batemans pub that appeared to be a real community pub. The customers were also very friendly and nice people. 5 hand pumped ales were available, 2 Batemans and 3 genuine guests. XB, XXXB, Nelson's Revenge, Wherry and Tom Woods were available. We only stayed for a pint but the Nelson's Revenge was very nice.

Slumped badly when Batemans took over but now getting back to it's best, a small 'no frills' pub opposite the old City walls, a good range of real ales, friendly and knowledgeable staff. The daytime regulars tend to be of middle to senior age and it's been said if a script writter were to spend a week in the corner making notes he's have an award winning sitcom on his hands! Some of Norwich's finest characters frequent this old pub with a boxing history, Daniel Mendoza, adorns the outside with numerous boxing photos inside. Well worth a try!

Paid a visit here and was very impressed. Good range of beers (mostly local) and even the draught lagers were unusual brands. Friendly landlord. Certainly consider another visit when I'm next in the area.

Went here after playing a local squash team, they put on a lovely spread - lots of chips and chilli, and a bucketful of sarnies. However, felt a bit on the gloomy side.

Maybe it was an off night, but i found this Pub distinctly odd. Beer, although acceptable was nothing special, and I couldn't wait to finish mt pint and go. As i say, maybe it was a bad night...

Very nice little freindly pub , good selection of beer is always on form. Don and Pat are always welcoming.

A gem of a pub situated on the very edge of the city centre, a fact which is both an advantage and a curse: beneficially its isolation means it is never packed or frequented by drunken yobs/Chav tarts (there are Spoons in town for them), but on the downside it can be easily missed by the casual visitor to Norwich.
This latter point is a shame as it has bags of distinctive character crammed into its smallish interior and serves a huge range of cask ales alongside a good lager selection. To top it all off the locals are friendly, the staff quick and the bar snacks plentiful. A great 10/10.
