| It may not have the sort of front that would challenge Lucy Pinder in the “bloody hell” stakes, but within the Shades rather understated back alley exterior is another cracking gem of a Norwich pub. In fact, this place is so good it is difficult to decide which of the many golden characteristics deserves the most praise. The interior is natural to its core, with plush carpets lapping around a spacious and oldie frame that is resplendent with blues paraphernalia and distinctive memorabilia. There is not a whiff of the forced crappiness that sometimes affects pubs which try to conjure up character by ramming every available space with visual bollocks, as clearly the Shades has been put together with some style and a large dollop of care. Hence, it is more likely you’ll pause to examine each separate hanging and sign, rather than walk to the landlord and ask him whether his pub was furnished by a car boot sale or a skip. This joyful ambiance – helped by flawlessly polite staff – undoubtedly helps attract a good clientele and conversely create a formidable force field that effortlessly repels the occasional gangs of witless wankspurts who wander through Norwich city centre. It is a complete muppet free zone. However, just ahead – just – in the “most commendable race” are the taps which overflow with a wide variety of well kept, rotating, ales and a fairly component mix of lagers. With prices at the better end of reasonable, the Shades drink service is brilliant – you are guaranteed a top notch and distinctive tipple that wont stretch the bank balance. So, within the quiet shell is a real gold nugget – 10/10. pgazz - 27 Jun 2006 12:08 |
