05/04/26 – Norwich

I travelled from Cambridge to Norwich on Easter Sunday, starting at The Coach & Horses and working my way through a brilliant mix of historic pubs and newer spots. Each place offered something different, from riverside views to brewpubs with beer made on site, and I enjoyed trying a wide range of cask ales throughout the day. A real highlight was meeting up with Lucy from Norwich & District CAMRA at The Leopard, and it was great exploring several pubs together, chatting and sharing recommendations. The day finished at The Fat Cat & Canary, rounding off a busy and thoroughly enjoyable pub crawl.

02/04/26 – Kings Lynn and Ely

I started my day in King’s Lynn, calling into a great mix of places, from the historic Lattice House with its old beams and cosy corners, to the riverside Crown & Mitre and Marriott’s Warehouse. WhataHoot added something different with its small distillery feel, while Ferry Lane Social Club and The Live & Let Live felt friendly and familiar. I also stopped at Bank House and Wenns before heading to Ely, where 3At3 and the Drayman’s Son brought a more modern touch, and the Cutter Inn rounded things off by the river. It was a really enjoyable day with great drinks, warm welcomes, and plenty to take in.
