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.

    Another wonderful pub in Norwich, extra points for allowing us to 'win our round for free' by rolling a double 6 on a pair of die. The selection of beers and ciders on tap were great. Plenty of bar snacks as well. Plenty of seating inside - lots of little nooks and crannies to sit in as well. Very cosy place with good staff.

    The concept behind the name of this establishment is a clever novelty and the interior decor speaks antiquity. The beer is well kept with a decent choice of cask. There are the usual keg lager style beers and a selection of spirits. TV screens are something of a distraction from the general ambience.

    Nice pub with good selection of drinks in a good location, nice bit of history in the pub too. Bartender let us play a dice game to try and win our round for free which was a nice touch

    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.
