In the heart of Norwich City Centre, the traditional family owned and run FreeHouse dates back to 1530.

Trading as The Gardeners Arms since at least 1841, it gained the gruesome nick-name of The Murderers, following events of May 1895, when the landlady’s daughter was murdered by her estranged husband.

Today, this multi award winning pub welcomes well behaved dogs / owners, in this historic building.

We look forward to seeing you!

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

    Fabulous real ale pub in the centre of Norwich. Plus great food. The KRAYS burger was superb and really good cod and chips as well.

    First time visiting Norwich and was told to try here, it's definitely my favourite that I went to. Good beer I got a stout and a larger both tasted good. Service good, didn't try the food, a really good old style pub

    Love this pub, it's one of the best in town, a true old school local with heart and a story. Beers on tap are great (one of the reasons I go) and the staff and regulars are super welcoming, don't let the name put you off paying them a visit! You can tell it's loved and well managed, I always judge a place by it's toilets and theirs are spotless, five stars well deserved.
