Friendly welcome on arrival, found a table straightaway that overlooked a lovely church with spring flowers, liked the faux shabbyesque decor, cocktail menu was inviting and the food going past looked and smelled amazing. Pity we had just had lunch an hour prior. We sampled 3 x halves of different ales, all excellent, and a half of their rhubarb cider. Be still my heart, what exquisitness, cider forward with a tart zingy rhubarb afterbite. It was the star and so unusually lovely to drink and quench your thirst. I would definitely recommend this brew house for brews and booze.

Recommended by at least three different taxi drivers as the best beer in Norwich. I was a little…read morebut off because this place is just beer. No proper dinner, which makes it hard for us to justify three taxi rides as opposed to just two. But I managed to convince the gang to give it a try and as luck would have it, we were able to catch a ride later to a proper restaurant. Lots and lots and LOTS of beer choices here. Not only a few of the mass produced types, but they had a few cask ales on tap. And of course, their own Fat Cat Brews. I started off with one of the real ales - something called "Bitter & Twisted" which I'd never seen before. Good stuff. But who comes to a brewery pub and has something from somewhere else? So for number two, it was Fat Car's Honey Ale. Hand-pulled and absolutely lovely! Inside tables and some outside in their beer garden. They do have nuts and crisps, but again, no proper food. We'll be back. I really want to try their Cougar (a pale beer with lager malt) and the 8% "La Chouuffe".

The railway station is about 30 mins walk is away and is well worth the walk, 11&12 busses from Tombland goes past, and the stops are just outside.

My two friends and I visited during the Radio One Weekend. Overall a nice pub with good food…read more The staff were rushed off their feet though - I think they needed a couple of extra waitresses. Our servers were a bit abrupt and barked answers at us when we requested information. I don't think they were rude, just stressed! The courtyard outside is lovely, and while the environmental impact of outside heater-lights is sad to consider, they do make it possible to outside even on a chilly day in the shade. They have a fair selection of larger and ales and the food menu was good. Lots of choice, and not all mainstream - I had a mango, red onion chutney and chicken baguette. Could have done with more mango but certainly a more interesting sandwich than many pubs would offer. I would definitely recommend, and really mean to give it a 3.5!

Despite the service being really friendly it took us FOREVER to be served our food. We went in on a…read moreSunday and got a 2-course meal for £14, which was a great deal for us living in London. The bubble and squeak starter was good. As was the Sunday roast, but what I hate about these pub roasts is the rubbery-textured greens that taste like they were just microwaved from frozen! The pub is located down a little alley way with tables outside. It looks like a great place to be in summer. The decoration inside is really nice and there is a great dining area upstairs. I wouldn't hesitate to come in here again for drinks, but for food I'd rather not have to wait so long.

This pub/restaurant seems to be trading on its past glories. The quality of the fish was very good…read morealthough the chef would seem to be less commited to detail than the person who selected the fish. The decor was 'fisherman' inspired which may not appeal to all - although we do like it. However, it seems best to avoid anything that is not fish or vegeterian as the other dishes can be of variable quality. The price of the food is expensive for Lowestoft but reasonable for those used to paying City prices. We will go back, but will stick to the fish.

I visited on a lunchtime with my wife and two friends, and certainly the quality of the food was first class, we all had a different fish (salmon, sea bream, sea bass and cod). However on arrival we were standing around for some minutes before any attention was paid to us. We hadn't prebooked, yet there were plenty of tables available. We were made to go back into the bar area to be allocated a table number. There as a feeling of general 'surliness' and 'coudn't care less' attitude from several of the staff, making us feel we didnt really want to return, despite the excellent food. What a pity ! Come on - get your act together.
