Coach and Horses, Norwich

Shortly to be taken over, but unfortunately still GK. If the new owners can clean and re-paint the place (the ceilings are still fag smoke brown FFS!) and do some decent food (they were doing Spanish tortillas for a few eeks - maybe more tapas would be a good idea?) they might have a hope. Should have a decent theatre trade, and it could be very nice inside with a bit of tlc. At present, it's rubbish.

The Ten Bells, Norwich

Used to be a great pub before it went commercial and stopped bothering about real ale -paltry 'selection' of Greedy King's patehtic IPA and Speckled Hen. For the tourist nowadays - a shame.

Plough, Norwich

Recently re-opened under the ownership of the Grain Brewery. Five real ales, usually three of theirs plus guests which have so far been from Earl Soham. Also a good range of Grain bottled beers (which could be better advertised, as could the real ales - no board so you have to peer at the pump clips over people's shoulders). Good selection of spirits and wines - the G&T is excellent! Really nicely re-furbished and decorated inside, with a fabulous beer garden out the back, and all the 'no's that make for a great pub - no loud music, no pool table, no machines, no TV, no t***rs.
