| It does seem churlish to complain but having been a frequent visitor to this pub for the past 15 years - every time I visit Norwich in fact, on the basis of last Sat's experience I believe this place has become a little tired. For a genuine free house the guests are surprisingly limit. There are some micros that never feature and last Sat there were no other Norwich area brews expect, of course, 5 beers from the Fat Cat range (which I don't like). No Oakham beers at all which is a break with tradition and loads of "honey ale" or "grapefruit beer" etc. And the Kelham Island which I used to drool over was flat and tired, like most of the selections I made. The pub was not remotely busy yet it's term time for UEA. I begin to think that the competition from other Norwich pubs is affecting this place as several others have a smaller but more interesting range. The Kings Arms in Hall St for example or the Whalebone in Magdalen St. This is still a worthy pub but not a National Champion like wot is once was. GrahamH - 12 May 2008 22:09 |
| Agree with all previous comments (well except for bobotinks - why come to a pub like this and drink Stella?) This is a fine pub. Has an excellent range of drink - there's the Fat Cat's own brews (of which I sampled the Top Cat and the Stout - both very good) numerous real ales, eight belgian beers on tap (oh if only I had time to sample these!) ciders and bottled beers. Great olde world style pub, and very well kept. Just out of the city centre, so no townies. Friendly staff are the icing on this alcoholic cake. Very recommended! Paulaner - 4 May 2008 01:28 |

| The original and best of the Keatley owned Fat Cat pubs. 12 Hand pumps and 13 beers on offer from the tap room. 8 popular belgium beers are also available on draught which are sold by the half pint. I had the own brewed Fat Cat Stout and the Orkney Dark Island. Fat Cat local Honey was available to buy for £3.00. One of my mates brought it for a gift for a friend who loves the Fat Cat Honey beer.

| The is my favourite pub in the whole world. Brilliant real ale, massive selection, excellent quality, vast range of other drinks. I visit family in Norwich as often as possible so that I can sneak in here and chug down a few pints. Unmatched anywhere I have been. redjim73 - 17 Apr 2008 10:05 |
