The Duke of Wellington, Norwich

Another gem that can't be missed out when visiting Norwich. This proper traditional pub had 14 ales on gravity and 6 on handpump on our visit and their range of ales were to everyone's taste. I rated it a 9 initially, but is most worthy of a 10.

Love this pub that features in the 2013 Good Beer Guide. It is friendly and has a brilliant range of beers. As well as those on the bar they have a whiteboard with a list of beers served direct from the cask in a glass room behind the bar. Very well organised and great beer too. We enjoyed Green Jack Orange Wheat and a stout. They have a quiz night and folk night, and there is an annual beer festival. Number 16 bus from the city serves the pub.

The Duke of Wellington is a pretty ordinary looking pub from the outside but once inside it is far from ordinary. The pub has got one room which is L shaped and goes back quite a bit,the room is carpeted throughout and had comfortable bench seating and had a country pub feel to it. There is what looks like a glass room behind the bar this room houses barrels on stillage 10 on my visit all with different beers on and the bar has got about 6 pumps on which were all in use,i had a drink of Wolf in Sheeps Clothing and this was a really nice well kept drink,the other beers i noted were Salopian Treasure Trove/Red Herring,Oakham Bishops Farewell,Dorset Jurassic,Milestone Lions Roar,Green Jack Summer dream,there were many more beers on most of which i would be happy to try. The pub was fairly busy and had a very nice atmosphere,this is a pub i would happily stay in for a long session. This pub is well worth a visit. Pub visited 30/6/2012
