not long after a major re-furb.
15th December 2011
Just in time for Xmas, the Reindeer pub in Dereham
Road has re-opened after a four month closure.

9th December. See 6th September 2011.
1st December 2011
The Eastern Evening News reports the opening of
a new 'oriental' restaurant in place of the former
Regal pub in Dereham Road.
There is no mention of the restaurant
having a drinks licence.
The name of the premises has changed to Merge.

The Gordon (Gordon Avenue)
which closed on
24th September (sadly unreported in these columns)
has now been put up for sale by Punch Taverns.
Another puh put up for sale by 16th November
is the Mustard Pot on Thorpe Road.
Unless this is sold subject to tie, there will remain
only two City area pubs tied to Adnam's Brewery.
New agents have taken up the task of selling the
freehold (£225,000) or renting (£20,000 p.a.) of the
Surrey Tavern, Surrey Street; which finally closed
at the end of October.
22nd October 2011
By now (target date was Monday 17th)
Henry's ("at the Lamb") should have re-opened
after a £200,000 refurbishment.
The long-awaited promise, to return the pub name
to The Lamb, will have been honoured.
23rd September 2011
Yesterday saw the long-awaited opening of the
oddly-named 11 Bar and Kitchen
in Upper King Street.
Sadly, in the pub index to this site,
it will appear under Letter E.
Hopefully the enterprise will be a Free House,
from the drinks angle - significantly?? named first.
Temporary closure of the Buck Inn,
Yarmouth Road
started on 14th September.
Indulge Ltd. have not mentioned a re-opening date.
6th September 2011

closure of the Griffin on Yarmouth Road.

retired on the first of the month, as soon as possible.
30th August 2011
The Eastern Evening News reports that
the aptly-named Recovery Inns re-opened
the Bull at Hellesdon on Thursday 25th.
They have taken a lease from Enterprise Inns.
Hopefully, the terms of the lease will allow the
new owners freedom in the choice of beers.
See 21st May 2011.
18th August 2011
Presumably several will be killed in the rush,
for the
official opening of Revolucion De Cuba
in Queen St.
It has taken since early June to trash the place -
formerly the respected Yates Wine Lodge;
not to mention the Slug and Lettuce.
6th July 2011
The Eastern Evening News mentions two pubs,
currently closed, awaiting new landlords :-
- The Sir Garnet Wolseley
(Market Place)
has a change of owner.
Plans for the building are not yet known.

formerly the Regal on Dereham Road,
is waiting for a new leaseholder.

15th May 2011
