| I've used this pub on a couple of occasions. It occupies an excellent location with a large lawned riverside garden. Unfortunately the premises have seen better times and are in need of refurbishment. This is a shame as the historic interior of the pub has beenfeatured in a recent edition of the Norfolk Nips CAMRA periodical. The bow tie wearing, exotic waistcoated, long haired landlord has a small but loyal clientele and supplies a friendly but quirky drinking experience. hibiscus - 15 Jul 2011 11:01 |
| The Victorian Garden Gnome (brilliant description, babbs) was on good form on a recent evening visit I made to this pub. He actually chuckled a couple of times! Something must have tickled his fancy, although I know not what. Anyway he does keep a good pint or three, which are all very reasonably priced, and so I shall return at some point. dougdeep - 21 Jan 2011 16:35 |
| I found the description of the 'Victorian garden gnome' quite apt for the guy behind the bar at this pub. He lost patience with us as we were deciding what to order and instead started pouring points for the locals that were stepping through the door behind us. He also queried our selection of drinks, which was rather odd. Real ales available were Norfolk Grain Oak, Greene King IPA & Abbot Ale and Woodfordes Wherry. The interior is a bit dark and dingy, but retains a traditional feel. If you like slightly quirky pubs and very quirky landlords, this one is defintely for you. I would visit again despite the attitude. blue_scrumpy - 10 May 2010 16:22 |
| Karl, are we talking about the same pub or are you actually the landlord? The guy who runs this pub is known throughout Norwich as being the most miserable and awkward person ever to have a pub. He complains if you change your drink throughout the evening, won’t give change for gaming machines and is just out and out rude. He has a very small click of regulars who he has either hypnotised or they owe him money and for either reason they keep coming back. I wouldn’t discourage anyone from going there just to check out what I say is true. Never known a person less suited to running a pub. jenny25 - 29 Oct 2009 21:17 |
