The Fat Cat

First visit and definitely won’t be the last. Popped in on the homeward leg of a long walk and ordered a pint of bitter. There was a great atmosphere and I took my pint outside where there was plenty of seating to enjoy it in the sun. One of the best pints I’ve had in a long time.

I feel welcomed every time I visit. friendly staff.... patient because it takes a while for me to choose a drink form the large drinks menu. beer is excellently well kept.... and not over priced. what more can you ask for!

What a great pub, I visited a friend & she took me to her local. I can see why she loves it.

Legendary Norwich real ale pub 🍻

So many great beers to choose from on a hand written chalk board list

Options and spaces for both indoor and outdoor seating

Spirits and wines on offer too.

But I came here for the beers and those I chose were delicious 😋

Highly recommended

Great pub and worth the trip away from the city centre. Fantastic large selection of ales and craft beers on tap. Plenty of seating and character. Highly recommend if you're a beer lover but its a cracking pub too if you're not.

I’ve been going here for over 35 years, though not as often as I would like as I live far away. It remains one of my top five pubs in the country. Always a high quality range of ales, well kept and perfectly served in the correct shaped glass by brilliant staff. They allow and welcome dogs, a key point for me. Try as I may, I’m unable to find any fault. Apart from my recent visit where I noticed ‘Greene King Abbot’. This in my mind an abomination, as this Massive corporation, Chinese owned, holds such an exclusive grip on many pubs in my area and others, that I’ll not enter their pubs let alone drink their mass produced ‘pelch’.

One of, if not the, best real ale pubs in Norwich. I highly recommend the Broadoak Perry.

What can I say about the Fat cat that's not been said before?
Excellent all round. Cheaper, and better, than average beer. Massive selection and good company. A proper good place

Lovely pub with huge range of specialty ales and bitters, including its own range. Also serves the excellent Erdinger non-alcoholic beer for those driving or who don’t drink alcohol.

Excellent ale and cider pub with almost too much choice! Very popular but has lots of outside seating

Great pub with a huge selection of beers. Only problem is finding a seat as always busy (which is a good thing).

Possibly the best place to drink in the UK. 20 real ales on when I was there. Reasonably priced and well kept. Hooks to hang coats and bags.

Fabulous pub, great beer and atmosphere highly recommended. Friendly service

A absolutely fantastic bar . Great owner . A true Mecca for real ale lovers .

Best pub in Norwich. Great local. Lots of Ales and beer choices, great staff and landlord!

The fat cat is a traditional street corner pub, more than that it is a great pub. Deservedly regularly featured in the campaign for Real ales good beer guide. It has a fantastic range of top quality Cask conditioned real ales, and an excellent selection of ciders and bottled beers. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. This cosy pub has an interesting display of old pub memorabilia and is always busy when I have called in. This is favourite pub in Norwich, highly recommended.

Always a pleasure to visit The Fat Cat. Reasonably priced, HUGE selection of ales/cider/beer etc., plenty of seats, great atmosphere, some big tables for board games, and the staff are amazing.

Great pub - loads of good beers on draught.

Always excellent choice of real ales. Try their own beers they are great, but there is usually a choice of guest ales.

Absolutely first class proper traditional "wet" Great British pub. Every Beer is kept superbly. The owner has supported local customers throughout all lockdowns, either selling real ale through the
hatch or delivering 4pt and larger of the favourite beer and cider selection. Great business model which will go from strength to strength. Thanks
