I’m puzzled as to why none of the many breweries that have popped up in the city haven’t got the recipe for Stones and Wards because I’m sure both would be popular with drinkers over a certain age. Edited September 4, 2021 by Mister Gee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

That’s a question for cuttsie, personally I’d gladly pay thirty bob for a pint of Wards.

Stooooneses is £2 a pint in Norfolk Dixon Lane , its not cloudy, watery or served in fancy glasses wi Old Sheep shagggers written on them , its just a pint of beer that tastes and looks like one should .

Tipstaff   159 #29 Posted September 10, 2021 Is the old Norfolk Arms still going strong then? The last time I was in there was about four years ago, I was with my old boss and we were wearing  suit jackets. We got stared at as if we might have been wearing space suits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I will call  in this lunch time for a pint of Stooooneses , How many suites do you see being worn in pubs any where these days , you have more chance of seeing one worn the Norfolk than other Town pubs .
