The Red Lion: A Riverside Delight
The Red Lion Bishopgate (found on the edge of Norwich city centre, near Norwich Cathedral) is owned by the folk behind the Unthank Arms, the William & Florence and The Trafford Arms.
Open 7 days a week for good drinking and good food, you’ll find the Red Lion has an excellent range of drinks as well as brunch and delicious mains and puddings. Expect a traditional Roast on Sundays.
We have enjoyed Brunch in the lovely, light conservatory, though there is also seating inside the pub and out on a terrace overlooking the river.
Service is excellent – super friendly – and the setting beside the River Wensum makes you forget you’re so close to the city centre. You can even paddle board from/to the Red Lion if you fancy it.
Behind The Red Lion you will also find The Lions Den River, Norwich’s go-to destination for outdoor wellness, community, and connection. Whether you’re visiting to unwind solo, meet friends, or try something new, this riverside sanctuary is the perfect space to relax, reset, and recharge.
Fancy staying at The Red Lion Bishopgate? There is a fabulous apartment above the pub, enjoy a large, light-filled sitting and dining room, three generous bedrooms with luxurious superking beds & Egyptian cotton linen, fully equipped kitchen and two modern bathrooms with underfloor heating.
Definitely a Norwich pub worth a look.
