Norwich

[chrisdobson45]

As is usual, when we venture up the River Yare to Norwich we walk around the edge of the city via the riverside walk. We dodged the showers (not very well, getting a soaking twice), and it was lovely to be back. Lunch at the Red Lion was especially good and the staff were brilliant. Kath got her pencils out, her sketch came out rather well.

Glad to see the Red Lion has opened again. Last couple of times we went passed they were completing what looked like a thorough refurbishment, even down (sorry, up) to the roof.

For some reason I always forget how nice Norwich is, and I'm always pleasantly surprised when we visit. I was a student there (too) many years ago. Don't think I ever appreciated it then.

Just had a look at the Red Lion's menu. Sounds great - on the list for the next time we visit!

The food at the Red Lion was (surprisingly) good, the Fritto Misto was especially good. Be warned, the portions were huge, especially the local burger and fish finger sandwich (which was a lightly tempura battered fillet, rather than a couple of Captain Birdseye's best efforts). The choice of gin and draft beer was wide, I had a porter-like cider, very dark, not overly sweet, very, very good.

Sounds like a completely different pub to what it was! We'll certainly be making a visit.
