Old Boots left this review about The Murderers
Probably the most famous pub in Norwich, no need for me to expand much on the descriptions in previous reviews, however it’s two buildings almost knocked into one via a connecting door. The lower building is a maze of small spaces with divisions of rescued medieval timbers. The counter is roughly U shaped with 3 pulls for cider then 8 for cask ales, apart from Adnams Ghost Ship all the casks were from small breweries mostly unknown to me. Some of the decor is medieval items but mainly photos of famous murderers. An interesting pub all round.

The Murderers has a central L-shaped bar counter with snugs and split level seating either side, although the right-hand side was roped off during a recent Thursday evening visit. Eleven of the twelve hand pumps were in operation drawing Adnams Ghost Ship, Wolf Brewery’s Edith Cavell, Silver Fox and Murderer’s Ale (probably rebadged Wolf Ale), Lister’s Brewery’s Springtime, Parkway Brewing’s Pirate’s Pet, Grain Brewery’s Chevallier 47, Beccles Brewing’s Sky Pale Ale and Mr Winters Vanilla Latte Stout. There were also two cask ciders alongside premium keg. In the left rear are multiple televisions for airing live football. The pub was comfortably busy, the staff were polite and there was a good atmosphere, so I’d gladly return for a second visit.

Universally known as The Murderers ,it's actually the Gardeners Arms but no one gets confused.Nothing really needs to be added to Steve's excellent review,I really enjoyed my trip and would say this is the pub you must visit when in the City Centre,it's got lots of features ,a great vibe and a long list of well kept ale.I went in two days after Steve with much the same ale list although Moon Gazer White Face,Adnams Ghost Ship and Milestone New World Pale had also rotated on.My Wolf Edith Cavell was very good (NBSS 4).It's a family owned pub and we also spoke to the guv'nor ,an engaging fellow who organises the Norwich Ale Trail in late May through June to encourage supping Norfolk ale in the fine pubs in the city,where over 50 have signed up and you get a lapel badge for each of the 7 trails you complete.Shame I dont live in Norwich.
A must visit ,IMHO the best in the immediate City Centre area.
