A fulcrum of Norwich’s real ale and cider scene, the Murderers has both quality and quantity in a drinks offering that is popular with the city’s sports fans and professionals alike.
“Over the years we’ve built up a really good reputation for showing live sport – it’s all about atmosphere,” Philip Cutter of the Gardeners Arms explains.
“The pub is unique in the way it’s laid out – we can show lots of different events at the same time in different areas and they don’t impact on each other.”
