Maids Head Hotel, Norwich

You want to visit - You have this in

Historic hotel, with parts dating back to the 13th century. The traditional oak-panelled bar is cosy, with red leather seating and stocks three ales, two rotating from local breweries such as Woodforde's and Moon Gazer, and one permanent, known as Maids Head Ale.

There's also a pretty patio courtyard which is partially covered, and tables in front on the pavement with views across Tombland and of the Cathedral.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

The must-see here is the delightful two-doored, wood-panelled snug next to the main bar, It has a service hatch (usually kept open) with a part-glazed screen, an old fireplace with Delft tiles, bell pushes, a tiny old letter-box and fitted wall cabinets. The main bar has some inter-war fittings but the counter and bar back are recent. Seek out the Norwich Panorama by John Moray Smith.
