The Champion — Restaurant in Norwich

Interesting place, some real characters hang around, but very friendly. Went on a Monday and there was a jamming session, weirdly couldnt hear it much but there must have been 20-25 musicians in a side room playing - great to see as I couldn't hear! Batemans beer, triple x, xb and gold - 4.6, 3.7 and 3.9 respectively, think they have 2 or 3 others on most of the time - Morette is the main Lager. Pork scratching and scampi fries were eaten, big plus in my mind. Karaoke 🎤 on a Sunday night - very busy. And I think they serve food - didn't see any but there is a menu which looks good. Good feel...

I popped in by accident, wanting a healthy lunch in an independent somewhere nr bus station. Couple of items I wanted from the menu were not available (so choose my unhealthier version). Cheeseburger n chips with salad side garnish. Food was great, quadruple cooked chips (yum) very generous serving. Took home what I couldn't manage in a container which staff generously supplied me with. All in all, great attentive staff, good food, reasonably priced and varied...

Very much a locals pub, reminded me a little of two films "Hot Fuzz" and "American werewolf in London". The atmosphere was definitely there.

It was nicely decorated for Halloween and the bar staff had different costumes on which was fun and very well done.

There was lots of drinks to choose from too, a nice array of on draught. I choose the classic pint of Guinness which was £5.10

Pretty good for a city...
