Yes ILD, I'e been in the Swan in Southwold and agree with your recommendation.
Next time you're in the city - give the Black Horse a try - good selection of ales, spotless toilets and hardly a beard or pair of sandals in sight!!! <laugh> Does very good food too.
OK, the Fat Cat has an unrivalled selection of beers, but they now own the Fat Cat and Canary (aka the Mustard Pot) and not too far from Carrow Road

Maybe meet up either in one or the other to celebrate staying in the PL after we do the double over ManUre!! <rofl>

So I'll have to shave off my beard and lose the sandals and red socks Eh?
 
Fat Cat Brewery Tap is Norwich's Pub of the year according to CAMRA -
Yay! When I used to live on Magdalen Road (opposite the Stanley P.H.) it used to be a dive of a place called the Wherry and owned by Whitbread. As well as a brilliant beer range, they have regular live music, wood-fired pizzas, etc and thoroughly deserve their award imo <ok>
Likewise the White Horse at Neatishead, near Horning, which won the rural pub of the year award.
It, too, was a bit down at heel when I visited 4-5 years ago, but they now brew their own beer on site etc.
Well done to them too <applause>

I have bad news for you all! I drank several pints of well hopped ale last night thus adding to the shortage!
I got into my local pub (hotel) last night and a new tub of Winter's Storm Force had just gone on.
Absolute nectar. So good in fact that I had three of the little buggers, thereby using up my own - and ILD's hop allowance until at least Friday ;)

I used to live on shipstone road. When did you live there?
 
I lived there then as well.

There was a computer shop "bit's and pc's" and I lived in the house just down from there.

Quite often pop in there for a pint or 3 after band practice, as we rehearse in the Victory hall just around the corner <ale>
