Join us for a spooky evening of ghost stories, folklore, and chilling tales at Blackfriars Tavern (East Anglia CAMRA Pub Of The Year and Norfolk CAMRA Cider Pub Of The Year).

Ummmm, it’s us.!!! The announcement went out on the East Anglia CAMRA website, and also on East Norfolk CAMRA page. There will be an official presentation at 1pm on Saturday the 17th August at Blackfriars Tavern. There will be beer (all 18 handpumps working – that’s like a beer festival). We hope that as many of you as possible can make it. We will be issuing two pints of beer free to membership card carrying CAMRA members while stocks last. There will be some complementary food as well. This is not a CAMRA closed event, all our regulars are encouraged to give their support on this occasion.
A quick reminder that the next quiz is Tuesday August 27th.
It’s time for our Summer Quiz Series. Still with our excellent selection of Real Ales and Real Ciders, still on the last tuesday of each month, but now with our Rachael asking the questions!
