Deceptively large multi-level pub with an attached cafe-bar (open lunchtimes only). Up to a dozen ales from micros around the country are stocked, including the house beer brewed by Coors.

Popular with shoppers and office workers during the day and the younger set in the evening.

The real name of the pub is the Gardeners Arms, but it is far better known as the Murderer's (note the possessive, not plural!) since a 19C landlord was convicted of murdering his wife.

2015 winner of the UK Sports Pub of the Year award, after winning the accolade for the East Anglian Sports Pub of the year on a number of occasions.

Live music most Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
