AndyJR 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Prior or after visiting the field of dreams that is Carrow Road, what''s your favorite pub for a beer or a bite to eat and why?For me it has to be the Murderers due to decent beer, plenty of screens and atmosphere or the Horse and Dray due to friendliness and Bitburger on tap.

Mister Chops 7 Posted July 29, 2008 The Rosary Tavern. The Jubilee''s nice too, mind. The Coach is far too rammed and dingy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iluveadie 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Wig and Pen, great homemade pies and Bitburger on tap. They also do Bitburger Drive which was an almost acceptable alternative when I was pregnant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stevie Wonder 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Coach & Horses is too packed and you can''t sit down! I like to discuss the current "sityooation " before the game and catch up with my mates - in the Coach it is so packed that you can''t have a conversation with anyone.Often go to Ketts which has good beers/ciders but not Sky!!! Looking for an alternative venue this season preferably with Sky and somewherejust off Riverside Rd - have tried the pub on Bishops Bridge (can''t think of the name but it''s pretty good)Post match I tend to go to the Wig & Pen on Palace Street as they have a happy hour between 5 and 6.

yellow blood 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Red Lion or do you mean the other one next to Godfreys? (who''s name also escapes me!)I have heard that the Ketts landlord has disappeared and the previous owner (Kevin) has taken charge again...might get sky back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opposite is the bridgehouse which does have Sky but looks slightly less than Salubrious. (i''ve never been in to be honest) If you want a really good pub that does food, Sky, great beer and a convivial atmosphere to chat about the game I would heartily recommend the Horse and Dray on Ber street.

Thanks for the tip but everyone I meet comes from Thorpe, Thorpe Hamlet, "Silver Triangle" or upto Norwich by train so it has been in that kind of area.Can''t stand the likes of The Queen of Iceni, Squares etc for Saturday games although I tend to go them for midweek games due to time constraints.Perhaps the Ketts will get Sky in this year....

NorwichsNewFinest 0 Posted July 29, 2008 If I''ve got time to spare, a few pints in the Castlegate''s never goes a miss. If I''m rushed or need a pint on the way to the ground from there, a quick pint in Nor Blue never goes amiss. It''s not ridiculously rammed (well, compared to Lloyds/Iceni/Whatever it''s called now!)

Bigmarkcanary 0 Posted July 29, 2008 Usually go to Squares as one of my mates who I go with brings his little girl with him.

zemas tendon 0 Posted July 30, 2008 Use to go in Brannigans, or Murderers, but now go straight to the club for about 2ish as the beer is still £3-a-pint or same for bottled beer! which can be cheaper than some pubs!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ncfcstar 292 Posted July 30, 2008 Got to be Lloyds or whatever it is called nowadays, something about Boudicea isn''t it? I would venture to the others pubs, but it just makes sense for me off the train to go there on the way to the ground! And being a Wetherspoons it''s cheap beer, which can not be frowned upon!
