Writing for the Times, Pete Brown has praised the fine city as a place where pubs that aren't even his bona fide favourites "are still better than the best pubs in many towns". The Alexandra Tavern in Alexandra Road and the Fat Cat in West End Street were among the boozers listed as ones you could "spot him drinking in", as well as the Murderers in Timber HillREAD MORE: Police to patrol bars and clubs in Norwich to hunt predatorsHe also praised how walking between the city's various pubs, which boast "perfectly kept cask ale", takes you through "the charming streets of the most complete medieval city in England". Norwich's status as the first location in the UK to organise a "citywide celebration of its beer and pubs" in the City of Ale Festival was also complemented. Last month, Norwich was named as the fifth easiest place to grab a pint outside of Greater London, boasting an average of 33 pubs per 1,000 hectares. At one point in time, Norwich was even known as a city that had a different pub to visit for every day of the year.
