| This pub is a bit overrated really. dougdeep - 3 Nov 2011 11:30 |
| I like this place. It's quite odd what with all the murder-related stuff, but there's a great range of beer, a good quiz machine, lots of places to sit and the novelty of telly screens in the urinals is something I quite like! Steve2905 - Are you serious about a lack of real ale in Norwich!? For such a small city there are loads of places! Get the GBG and work your way through! Northern_Ale_Monkey - 2 Mar 2011 18:07 |
| I suppose some of the pictures, etc. on the walls are a bit bizarre, but to be fair there are loads of news articles explaining the origins of the pub's alternative name. I have given this pub an 8, as in my opinion it should first and foremost get assessed for the great quality and selection of its BEERS. cobbo - 4 Oct 2010 16:30 |
I am not quite sure what to make of this seemingly two-in-one pub which trades as both the Gardeners Arms and the Murderers. For me, drinking beer surrounded by photographs of an electric chair and convicted and executed murderers and is a TOTAL turn off. It may appeal to some ghouls, but not to me. On the positive side, it is one of the few pubs we found that serves real ale in Norwich city centre. And when buying your drinks you are invited to roll a pair of dice. If you roll a double six, your drinks are FREE. Another novel feature (for the men) is whilst you are pointing ‘Percy at the Porcelain’ (having a pee), you can watch England showing the Aussies how to play cricket because there are flat screen TV’s embedded in the wall behind the urinal stalls. On the positive side it does serve real ale which seems to be a rarity in Norwich city centre pubs. The bar staff were friendly and the beer quality was pretty good too. But for me the ‘gimmicks’ rather put me off. steve2905 - 26 Aug 2009 03:22 |
| I am surprised that not more people have reviewed this pub. In fact as the previous reviewer has stated it is the same pub as the more reviewed Murderers. There is a separate door with that name above it and there is a separate bar by that name with only fizz on it. I guess they open this up at busy times and weekends. There are a number of pictures around that area with famous murderers on them. A great town centre traditional old pub with plenty of old beams. Seven real ales were available and I was tempted by the Humpty Dumpty Broadland Sunrise. We sat in a nice seated area below the glass roofed part of the pub. I understand the food available is rather good. Love_good_ale - 17 Apr 2008 20:58 |
