About the Pub
A traditional two-bar city pub which has been a mandatory stop on the Norwich real ale trail since 2005, with its 14 handpumps, mostly serving beers from Norfolk, plus a few selected guests such as Three Blind Mice, Green Jack, Derby Brewing and Newby Wyke. There is also local cider and perry, plus a large range of bottled European beers, but no keg beers at all.
Twice CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year, there's no food provided except snacks and (very good) pork pies, but there are plenty of local takeaways, and plates and cutlery can be provided. Local eggs and honey are usually on sale. The pub also supports two teams in the local bar billiards league.
Owned since 2013 by Stephen and Lesley George, also owners of the Humpty Dumpty Brewery, the range of beers remains eclectic, and only rarely includes more than one of their beers. Previously owned for nine years by Jon Smith and Roland Coomber, who converted it from a bikers pub into the destination real-ale pub it remains today.
The 'main' bar is at the back of the pub, with a side entrance in the courtyard, and the house beer is KHB (King's Head Bitter) made by Winter's.
Regular Beers
Changing Beers
