Adam and Eve

Norwich’s oldest pub. Estimated that it was founded in the 1200s. The indoor area is quite small and dogs are not accepted. You can sit with your dog at the outside tables. They have a nice selection of beers.

Allegedly second oldest pub in England! Did not have food but the drinks were good! Norwich Cathedral is walking distance be sure to visit

This small, wonderful, historical pub is located in Bishopgate, close to Norwich Cathedral, the Great Hospital, and Norwich Law Courts. It is widely claimed to be the oldest pub in the city, with the earliest known reference made in 1249.
The staff were great, helpful friendly, and keen to chat about the extensive history of the pub. The Real Ale was fresh and in good condition. Spend a bit of time here exploring the photos and literature on the walls. It was the last pub in Norwich to serve ale from the barrel, until a bar was installed in 1971.

What a gorgeous pub, soaked in history. The staff were lovely and we only got large chips but they were proper chips. Hand cut, served crisp and not greasy. Lovely setting, so quaint. We'll be back

A great place to go with friends and family. We came here as a family and I had no problems. The environment is very nice, the employees are respectful and the prices are affordable.

Had to have a pint in the oldest pub in Norwich. Quaint, beautiful building with lots of original features. Nice atmosphere and beautiful flowers decorating the whole front. X

Lovely cosy pub! Would obviously recommend people to come over..... It might not be huge and full of party animals but a perfect place for a calm pub might, date night or outing with your loved ones! 💛💛💛💛

A small but lovely pub, close to the river and cathedral with adequate parking. Great local beers on tap

Visited from Canada. It's not everyday that you can have a brew and great meal in an establishment dating back over 700 years. Rita was charming and so welcoming as were her patrons. Rita made sure that this would be a visit I would not forget and this was definitely the pub highlight of my visit. Norwich is an amazing historical city and the people are very friendly to an over talkative Canadian like myself. Thank you so much for everything Rita. You are a gem.

Good selection of beer on tap, lovely little building and outside area. Like lots of Norwich, it’s old dontyaknow?, but it is very nice.
Ps very friendly staff

An old pub in an old city! It's a very small, compact pub next to one of the cathedrals. Sunday roast for a veggie was excellent and service friendly.

This place was anticipated to be the highlight of my visit to the UK, and it did not disappoint. My favorite things in life are pubs, friends and historic buildings. This place had all three, and was even better than I’d hoped. The atmosphere was lively and extremely friendly, and the beer selection, though small, was excellent. If I lived in Norwich, I’d be at the Adam and Eve at least once a week.

Little quaint pub tucked away. Peaceful surroundings. Friendly staff.

Wow! what an atmosphere and a feel of a time gone by. Purportedly the oldest pub in Norwich. Looking at the charming old building and fittings with a little imagination you get a real feeling of being in a time warp. Apparently haunted, jury's out on that for me though and by the way Norwich crown Court is just around the corner. Check out the history when you visit. Great food to be had with a good selection and the staff are very courteous. There is some road work going on at the time of writing this review.

One of Norwich's best oldie worldie traditional pubs.
Steeped in history and a lovely setting

Excellent Theakstons Old Peculier in an interesting very old pub. Service was genial and efficient.

Popped in for an hour about 2pm today and enjoyed a pint or two while writing postcards and sheltering from the torrential rain. It was on my list of destinations for the day anyway, but sitting outside amongst the lovely flowers was off the agenda due to weather. A nice choice of ales and very friendly and helpful staff. I had already eaten, so couldn't try the menu, however there was a table nearby who were very complimentary (both in and out of the hearing of the staff) about the burgers, which the chef confirmed were home-made, and the macaroni cheese. So next time I will eat there for sure. I was offered an umbrella to take away with me when I left, which was incredibly kind, however my next stop was a church a few steps away, so might not have been in as much need as others. The people running the pub do really make a pub, in my opinion, and I felt very welcome. Beautiful building in a quiet location near the back of the cathedral and the law courts. Garden is lovely, but my photo doesn't do it justice because of the rain!

Wonderful old pub, front courtyard, best Theakstons old peculiar I've had on ages

Lovely old pub with great photos of Norwich on the wall from back in the day. Staff were friendly.

Warm and welcoming. Lovely food. Will definitely visit again.
