The Eagle

You'll find The Eagle tucked away on Newmarket Road, in that stretch where Norwich gets properly residential. It's the kind of place where regulars nod at each other and the bar staff remember your order, all wood-panelled charm and worn leather seats that have seen decades of conversation. The real ale selection is taken seriously here—rotating taps that actually mean something if you care about that sort of thing—and the food goes beyond the standard pub fare without trying too hard. It's genuinely busy most nights, which tells you everything about how this neighbourhood has adopted it.
