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’.
What a great pub, I visited a friend & she took me to her local. I can see why she loves it.
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
A absolutely fantastic bar . Great owner . A true Mecca for real ale lovers .
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
One of, if not the, best real ale pubs in Norwich. I highly recommend the Broadoak Perry.
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.
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.
Great pub - loads of good beers on draught.
