The Mischief is located adjacent to Fye Bridge on the north bank of the river Wensum, but there are no riverside seating areas, or in fact views. This 18th century corner pub has a mix of aged and new leaded windows and a street-level front seating area with a mix of floorboards and tiling. Pew seating with tables run along the front windows and up the right side. There are three sets of steps adjacent to each other, all leading towards the rear of the pub. The right-hand steps lead up to the bar area where an L-shaped counter on the left wall faces standing room only that is looked over by some televisions. Live football is advertised, and seems to be the main draw. The middle set of steps lead down to an old tile floored cellar that has some bench seating. This isn’t the most pleasant spot so I’m guessing this is for when the pub is really busy. The left-hand set of steps lead up to the rear of the aforementioned bar, here there is seating, an inglenook, another TV and table football. A sunken seating area at the rear also houses a dartboard. All the televisions were muted during a recent Thursday afternoon visit, but there was some background music playing. On the drinks front, standard and premium keg was available alongside Beavertown’s Neck Oil. The Deuchars was off which left Woodforde’s Wherry badged on the two other hand pumps. The Wherry was good and the governor was very friendly, but there are better pubs in the immediate area so I doubt I'll return.

The Mischief is a nice looking stand alone pub that is fairly close to the river.
Once inside this pub was fairly smart with a couple of rooms,the pub was a Watney Norwich house when i went in it and there were no real ales on the bar.
I dont know what beers this pub now has on the bar.
