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!

    Argyle on tour!! The 3rd pub on my pre football match yomp has led me to this pub. Unlike the other 2, this one is more of an eating house than a pub. And, it was busy, packed with Norwich supporters eating huge meals ! They must be rich in Norwich. There certainly was some grub being consumed ! Nicely positioned on the river and next to a cute foot bridge it looked enchanting from outside and was very smart inside. Lots of real ales and the food coming out looked delicious....

    Absolutely lovely staff, very friendly and welcoming. Felt so comfortable and not rushed at all. The food was incredible, I had the steak with the garlic and parsley butter, I asked if the chefs make their own butter and was nicely surprised that they do. Amazing food, my husband had the Haddock, chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce, the fish was cooked beautifully and the sauces were perfect. The sticky toffee pudding was mouthwatering and a perfect way to finish a dinner. I would highly recommend to anyone.

    A lovely delightful lunch we had on a weekend. The outdoor seats are all fully booked. We had a table in the conservatory area by the window which was a little warm. Service was prompt and attentive. We had the steak and battered haddock and chips. Both taste fantastic. Really love the food and would love to come back for another visit. Highly recommended.
