The pub is beautiful and cosy, the landlady was kind and cheerful and the food.....oh god, the food! We both had a starter of pigeon, not something you usually see on a pub menu and it was superbly cooked and tasted amazing. For my main I chose the steak burger with chips and onion rings, the burger was big, flavoursome and juicy and the touch I like is that the tomato ketchup on table was all homemade, not from a bottle! We will certainly come back to this awesome place if we are ever near the area again because it was outstanding!!

I had heard many good things about this pub before finally walking through the door one Sunday…read moreevening for a pint. The first thing that struck me was the amazing range of beverages displayed on the board above the bar - how can one choose? The crowd this particular evening was about 60 strong, the atmosphere was jovial - unoccupied seats were nonexistent. I manoeuvred through the heaving mass and into the small gap between two punters to place my order at the bar - a gypsy-like barmaid appeared to take my order. Sullen faced and visibly disinterested she grunted in my direction, I took this as my cue to request my desired frothy. "A pint of La Chouffe please" I asked. The response I got back from her was drenched in a thick Norfolk accent, unintelligible to anyone other than her ilk. After twice excusing myself and asking her to repeat her response I gathered that she was telling me that the La Chouffe was off. I went for the Budvar instead, it was served in a straight non branded pint (as was every other drink being drank in the bar). The Budvar was refreshingly cold and tasted brewery fresh. I looked in vain for a free seat inside, but after getting a nostril full of the vomit-like smell at the back of the pub near the toilets I was happy to venture outside and perch at one of the tables. Due to living in close proximity I have been back a few more times sampling many of the stouts on gravity which seem to change quite frequently. The range of beers continue to impress, but the staff continue to disappoint. If they could put some focus on to improving their customer service for anyone who isn't a known customer and also liberally apply some Febreze to the floors this place could live up to its reputation. There is a sense that the owner/staff are resting on their laurels. Watch out, the competition is surely coming.

They were at such a reasonable price that we bought some to take with us for later in the day!

If you are a fan of tweeness then you deserve to make a pilgrimage to this bar where the clientèle is Norwich's hipster population, infact it would be a safe bet to say that between this bar and the Norwich Arts Centre is the epicenter of hipsterville in Norwich. Saying that it is super-friendly and quirky. The staff are very nice and the selection of live music and cabaret is very typical of Norwich's music scene (mostly acoustic guitar sets). There are stacks of Vice and various other fashion magazines hanging around as well as a pile of boardgames in the corner (Ive played many an intense game of Scrabble here). The drinks are a little expensive but this is balanced out by the fact it's genuinely a nice place to drink and some nights there is a cover to see bands but this is usually "optional". Conclusion; hipstertastic but ultimately nice.
