The White Lion in Norwich

Ah, The White Lion – it's one of those hidden gems in Norwich that I've heard so many good things about from folks who've popped in. From what the reviews say, it's got an absolutely stellar lineup of real ales, ciders, and even some interesting rums, which is perfect if you're after something a bit special beyond the usual lagers. The staff sound like they're dead friendly, always making sure everyone feels right at ease, and the Sunday roasts are apparently a real treat – proper homely grub that'll leave you satisfied. On the flip side, it's not smack in the middle of town, so you might fancy a nice riverside stroll to get there, but that could be a downside if you're not in the mood for walking. It does get packed, mind you, so planning ahead is a smart move if you're eyeing up a table. All in all, it's a solid choice for a relaxed catch-up with mates, blending that old-school pub charm with a few modern touches, though it's not without its little quirks like the variable hours. I'd say give it a go if you're in the area – you won't be disappointed!
