On the other side of Bishop Bridge to the Red Lion, the Lollards Pit was one of the first pubs in Norwich to be built outside the city walls, and was built on the site of a place of execution for heretics known as Lollards Pit, hence the current name.
Internally it’s largely one room around the long L shaped bar, but there is a smaller area beyond housing a pool table and then a nice outside secluded courtyard garden with plenty of covered seating areas accessed from this games room.
The decor is pleasant enough with exposed brick to the bar front and exposed beams on both ceil and walls.
I had chosen to duck the Red Lion to take a look at this one and fortunately it did not disappoint for me when approaching the bar, in fact almost the opposite. All six ale pumps were in use and alongside a token interloper from Yorkshire ( Rudgate Battleaxe Bitter) they were all from Norfolk breweries. These were Woodforde Wherry, Lollards Mumbler IPA ( brewed for the pub by the North Norfolk Brewery), Humpty Dumpty Brewery Little Sharpie, Norfolk Brewhouse Skidaddler Milk Stout and Panther Brewery Spring Pale Ale. Between us we tried the Humpty Dumpty, Norfolk Brewhouse and the Panther ales and they were all in fine condition.

Catches the eye with its ‘little and large’ pitched roofing. Inside is a nice 90s throwback refurb. Quite pleasant actually with sodium lights, mid-brown undressed brick walls and some inset cupboards. All came crashing down at the bar though; just the two ales, a pretty naff Deuchars (NBSS 2) and another so dull I forgot to record it, served up by perfunctory staff. There were also some ciders. Pretty empty on late Saturday evening and perhaps it wasn’t hard to see why. Dumped my beer early and headed-off. Not quite the pits, but certainly not a GBG pub (but in it is…).
Visited early August.

This was my last stop in Norwich, before heading to the train station. I'd passed it many times before, but this time decided to visit.

Whilst my stay was very brief and I don't recall too much about the interior, the pub and the range of beers was better than I had expected.

The 2 regular beers are Woodforde's Wherry & Nelson's Revenge. Bure Gold from Woodforde's was also on, along with Mr Winter's Twin Parallel & Moon Gazer Jigfoot. There were also 4 ciders - Lilley's Apple & Blackberry Cider, Mango Cider & Red Rabbit & Norfolk Raider Gator 24.

Certainly a pub I will not pass by next time I'm in Norwich.
