The Unthank Arms

You'll find yourself on Newmarket Street, that stretch where Norwich gets properly residential, and The Unthank Arms sits there like it's always belonged. It's the kind of pub that works equally well for a solo weeknight drink at the bar or bringing mates round for something substantial—the sort of place where regulars genuinely seem happy to be there rather than performing at it. The ratings speak for themselves: nearly 850 reviews averaging 4.4 stars suggests they're doing something right. Expect proper pub fare, a decent selection of drinks, and the kind of warm service that makes you want to come back.
