| GREAT YARMOUTH | ||
| Wetherspoon's Troll Cart | A large modern Wetherspoon's, unsurprisingly busy on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
Last visited April 2022. |
Temple Road / Regent Road |
| NORWICH | ||
| Coach and Horses | One bar plus a number of side rooms with a beautiful
interior including some excellent leather love-seats. A

Abbot and IPA on hand pump.

82 Thorpe Road |
| Compleat Angler | Entirely fake, I think, but rather good antiquey decor in this pub in a prime location across the river from the station. About ten handpumps offering a wide range of quality real ales, local and not. Busy on a Saturday afternoon, with visitors and locals..
Last visited May 2018. |
Prince Of Wales Road / Recorder Road |
| Gatehouse | A very nice wood panelled and half timbered interior
to this popular pub. The lounge is served from a small
hatch at the end of the bar, and there is also a
conservatory to the rear. Live music Saturday. Hand
pulled Tolly Original and Greene King IPA.
Last visited March 1999. |
Dereham Road / Sweet Briar Road |
| Jubilee | Nine or ten handpumps in this splendid multi-room back street pub. Surprisingly quiet on a Saturday afternoon, but ticking over gently. Most of the beers on offer were local, I had an excellent porter from Wolf at Attleborough.
Last visited May 2018. |
St. Leonards Road / Florence Road |
| Lollards Pit | The odd name suggested a modern place to me but what I found was a rather fine historic boozer serving excellent real ales.
Last visited May 2025. |
Riverside Road / Gas Hill |
| Nelson Hotel | The two bars in this posh hotel claim to serve real ale but this would appear to be untrue.
Last visited March 1999. |
Prince Of Wales Road |
| Rib of Beef | A very pleasant two bar pub by the river serving
Boddingtons, London Pride and a wide range of guest beers
I've never heard of, all those sampled being in excellent
condition. The menu looks good.
Last visited March 1999. |
Wensum Street |
| Wetherspoon's Queen Of The Iceni | A large open modern 'spoons in a modern "entertainment" complex. Packed on a Saturday afternoon (Aren't they all?) - I had to stand.
Last visited May 2018. |
Riverside Complex |
| THETFORD | ||
| Wetherspoon's Red Lion | A building of cut flint dating from 1837 and well looked after by Wetherspoon. Mind your head on the gents door!
Last visited May 2025. |
Market Place |
| THORNHAM | ||
| Lifeboat | This food-oriented pub is divided into two halves - a posh restaurant with pleasant modern decor, and a friendly bar side more traditionally decorated. The food is excellent and good quality real ales are served. The accommodation was being refurbished when I visited.
Last visited May 2016. |
|
| WYMONDHAM | ||
| Cross Keys | Greene King and others brews are on hand pump in this multi-area gastro-pub. The ceiling beams and wood panelling are all fake, I think, or did the recent paint job fool me? The school-hall-style parquet flooring is real enough, anyway. Spot the bottles cemented into the brickwork. The up market menu looks good. Closed during the afternoon.
