The Red Lion Bishopgate is a traditional riverside pub with a warm welcome for all. Part of the De’Ath Hospitality family; serving a delicious menu, great selection of drinks and an idyllic spot by the River Wensum. In the shadow of Norwich Cathedral with historic walks, abundant nature (we have our own resident kingfishers!) and all the buzz of the city centre just a few minutes walk away, customers can book a table inside to relax with friends, perch at a bar table with a view of the river, settle in on the Chesterfield sofa or enjoy the outdoors-indoors in the conservatory. Outside there’s a choice of the traditional front garden under the shade of the Robinia tree or a sheltered, heated terrace to spread out alongside the water’s edge.

An outstanding range of beers and real ales, carefully selected wines, tempting soft drinks and top quality coffees are available and customers can look forward to enjoying a sundowner in the sunshine on the banks of the river. We serve food all day, every day with something on our locally sourced menu for everyone to choose from. Whether it be brunch to hearty main courses or a grazing board to a few nibbles.

As per all listings on Dog Friendly Norfolk, we accept well behaved dogs.

    An early morning paddle on the river, parking and launching from the Red Lion followed by a well-earned delicious and great value brunch at the Red Lion - we sat in the sun, overlooking the water. An absolutely perfect start to the day and the free coffee that came with the brunch made it all the sweeter 👌 We'll be back!

    Nice place to stop off if kayaking along the river. Good mooring space. Arrived at 3:15pm and served drinks but told the kitchen was too busy to serve food due to football fans in the venue. I couldn’t see any, so we got two pints of lager and a packet of crisps and left still quite hungry. Would’ve spent £20+ on burgers and chips but not to worry.

    Stopped in for a quick one whilst waiting on meeting up with someone. Being a Wheelchair user I can get a bit anxious with old pubs. But staff were extremely helpful. Beer was well kept abd a lovely setting.

    Great place with great food and great drinks. Service is great and there's plenty of free parking space. The location is also 5-star (as if from a movie setting). Highly recommended l.
