Real ale discount scheme

The Louis has a traditional old-fashioned British pub feel. Four real ales are usually available in the Grade II-listed building, which dates in parts from the 15th century. In addition there are various flavours of Lilleys Cider which are rotated weekly.

Until recently the pub was known as Take Five but has now reverted to its more familiar name. The man behind the name, Louis Marchesi, founded the Round Table Great Britain and Ireland in 1927 and held its meetings in this very building, which was renamed in his honour in 1976. The building has a history going back hundreds of years, having one of the city’s oldest crypts still in use, which can be used for many kinds of event.

There is also a large function room upstairs, which was once the meeting room for the Round Table, and has a small 'patio' terrace at the rear, for private use when there is a function on, and used as a smoking area when the pub is open.

Information for this venue is provided by the Norwich & District Branch of CAMRA
