Heritage Pub

Golden Star, Norwich

Operator: Greene King
57 Colegate, Norwich, NR3 1DD (View on Google Map)
Improve This Listing

Friendly and comfortable corner pub on the corner of Colegate and Duke Street, hosting a Sunday night quiz, bar billiards league, and regular live music.

Excellent menu of three or four home-cooked dishes served daily. Pickled onions on the bar, a proper coffee machine, and an eclectic selection of music played at just the right volume (audible but unobtrusive).

Historically one of the few pubs which still served real ale in the late 70's and early 80's, when run by famous landlord Peter Turner.

The larger front bar has plenty of wood an mirrors and natural light, and behind the bar to the left is a smaller mainly seating area, which leads to a small patio at the rear. There are also a few tables in fornt of the pub on the wide pavement.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: II

A pub since the 19th century though the building is older. Much alteration took place in 1984 but some older features clung on - notably the bar counter, wall panelling and some of the fixed seating in the main bar. The back area accommodated the Golden Star brewery until 1984.

General information about historic pub interiors

17th century building that became a pub in the 19th century. Has a L-shaped main bar, which, from markings on the wall, ceiling and counter, indicate was two rooms and an off sales. It retains what may be the original counter but the bar back has an old lower part and the top part was added in c.1984. Some of the wall panelling is old and the fixed seating on the right is at least 40 years old. The rear bar housed the Golden Star brewery in the late 70s/early 80 and was converted to a bar in 1984. The bar counter is old but imported and the bar back is one added in 1984. There is an old baffle/short partition and a tiny hatch with two-part sliding window between the two rooms.
