Ten Bells, St Benedicts St, Norwich NR2 4AR

About This Pub

So, if you're looking for a solid spot in Norwich for a casual get-together, The Ten Bells really hits the mark. It's tucked away on St Benedict's Street, surrounded by that charming historical feel, and it's just the place to pop in for some filthy burgers that are as delicious as they sound, paired with a pint of craft beer or one of their inventive cocktails. I love how they've got screens dotted around for catching all the major sports – makes it a go-to for game days without feeling too rowdy. The team behind the bar are genuinely warm and efficient, adding to that welcoming buzz, especially when it's buzzing on a weekend afternoon. Prices are fair, so you won't feel short-changed, and being open seven days a week from 11am straight through to midnight gives you plenty of flexibility. On the other hand, it's all about walking in, which means you might queue up during peak times, and if you're after food, it's only on offer until 9pm, so plan ahead. All in all, it's a favourite for a good night out, with that mix of good grub, drinks, and atmosphere that keeps you coming back, but it's worth noting those little niggles to set expectations right.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is spot on – it's relaxed and welcoming, perfect for catching up with mates over a pint or watching the big games on their screens.
  • Their burgers are an absolute treat; filthy good and served up quickly, with options for takeaway too.
  • You've got a cracking selection of craft beers, bespoke cocktails, and even special deals like cost-price spirits – it's a real winner for drinks.
  • The staff are friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile and quick service, making you feel right at home.
  • It's in a brilliant spot in Norwich city centre, near car parks and surrounded by other bars, and they're open every day from 11am till midnight.
Cons
  • It's walk-in only, so on busy nights like Saturdays, you might end up waiting for a table or a spot at the bar.
  • Food service wraps up at 9pm, which could leave you out of luck if you're fancying a late bite.
  • There's no phone number listed, which might make it a bit tricky if you need to check something quickly before heading over.

Great place to watch the Champions League final. Love the idea of their 'cost price' special spirit, the tequila was amazing.

I popped in for a double patty Fupburger as I hadn't had one for a few years. Glorious burger, as good as I remembered. Had with a pint of Guinness which was lovely. Food came fast, both ladies who served me were polite and helpful. Pub was full on a Saturday afternoon, so great atmosphere. Yes the burger has some grease leaking out but fat=flavour and it was both juicy and very delicious. Definitely still the best burger I've ever had!

Great spot with lively atmosphere. Tasty food, good portion sizes and amazing burgers. And staff are friendly and helpful. A favourite for myself and my girlfriend when we're in Norwich. Definitely worth a visit.

First visit to this pub which is in a popular area for bars and restaurants. City centre location but close to several car parks including the St Andrews multi storey. Can't rate the food as I didn't eat but they had four different ales on with a Christmas theme and I was surprised and impressed. I liked the vibe there and the service was great for me at lunch time. I believe it is also dog friendly. Definitely recommendation for a real ale fan.
