About us

Named after a tale as old as time itself, The Adam and Eve is Norwich’s longest-running establishment. Records are, naturally, scarce, but staff claim the earliest known reference to a tavern on its site was made in 1249, where it was referred to as a brewhouse owned by Benedictine monks and used by workmen building the nearby cathedral. A Saxon well is even located underneath the lower bar floor.

Today, its position near the law courts ensures a colourful lunchtime clientele, as well as being a well-worn part of the city’s tourist trail.

Norwich’s oldest pub. Estimated that it was founded in the 1200s. The indoor area is quite small and dogs are not accepted. You can sit with your dog at the outside tables. They have a nice selection of beers.

This small, wonderful, historical pub is located in Bishopgate, close to Norwich Cathedral, the Great Hospital, and Norwich Law Courts. It is widely claimed to be the oldest pub in the city, with the earliest known reference made in 1249. The staff were great, helpful friendly, and keen to chat about the extensive history of the pub. The Real Ale was fresh and in good condition. Spend a bit of time here exploring the photos and literature on the walls. It was the last pub in Norwich to serve ale from the barrel, until a bar was installed in 1971.

Putatively the oldest pub in Norwich. It claims it was created to provide ale to the Master Stone Masons who built the Norman Cathedral which is only 400m from the front door of the pub
