CAMRA Discount Vouchers accepted at the Blacfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk

Now Accepting discount vouchers on draught real ales and cider

The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth now accepts CAMRA (CAMpaign for Real Ale) discount vouchers. This means that you can use up those new discount vouchers which you get as part of your membership, and enjoy a discount on your next visit.

The Blackfriars Tavern is one of the best pubs in East Norfolk, and Great Yarmouth in particular. It is in the 2023 Good Beer Guide (previously was in the 2022 GBG), and is also the East Norfolk CAMRA (campaign for real ale) Runner Up Pub of the Year for 2022.

Previously, the only local places that use of these vouchers was available was large chain pubs, but we are pleased to be involved in the scheme for the first time, and we have been added to the list of official pubs that take the discount vouchers.

How Does It Work?

CAMRA (campaign for real ale) discount vouchers can be used on draft Real Ale and draft Cider sold at the Blackfriars Tavern.

The discount vouchers must be accompanied by a valid CAMRA membership card.

Each CAMRA (campaign for real ale) discount voucher gives a discount against a pint of beer, ales or cider, but each discount voucher can also be used on combinations other than pints, including 2 half pints or 3 one third of a pint of draught beer and cider, and these do not need to be the same product.

Come and Use Those Vouchers On Real Ale or Cider

If you’re in the area, be sure to check it out! Great Yarmouth is a great place to visit, and the Blackfrairs Tavern is a great place to get a discount. So, if you’re looking for a Great Yarmouth pub that accepts CAMRA vouchers, look no further than the Blackfrairs Tavern for a discount on some lovely local real ales and cider!

Independent Reviews of Blackfriars Tavern Uncategorized

Great review of The Blackfrairs Tavern!

“and breathe a sigh of relief that my last county tick is a corker.”

“the cask was secondary to the joy created by landlord and locals, welcoming taxi drivers and port workers…”

“I felt part of the pub.”

TAKING A WEDGE OUT OF GREAT YARMOUTH

Another Perfect Pint at The Blackfriars Tavern Great Yarmouth

Take a look at Martin’s lovely review from back in April, which we just spotted on the interwebs.

Since then, we have progressed to 8 ales on as well as 14 ciders, and we a just pausing (closed to public) until August 4th, to enable us to extend our offer.

The full text of the blog post is below:

Is it a wedge pub ? I’ve no idea. I hardly noticed that shape till I just looked at these photos from last Tuesday.

Great Yarmouth (or “Great” to locals) is where I finished Norfolk’s GBG entries for 2022. Will it be a final time ?

A first overnighter in the campervan this year, saving me the ÂŁ120 it costs in the Imperial with FREE (0) parking along the South Pier. Which looks best in black and white, I can tell you.

You even get the best view of this art installation called “Norfolk”.

More attractive art installations awaited on the short walk to the Blackfriars Tavern. This one is called “3rd best town walls in UK after Chester and York”, apparently.

My pub is well sign-posted.

Oh, perhaps that pile of old cars was the Banksy. Has he changed his style ? Or is that a sign to where you get your cash out in Yarmouth ?

GY doesn’t have a lot of Guide pubs, but a fair few of them have been dotted in these back streets between the southern docks and amusement arcades.

So how had I missed it ?

I enter to “You Can Call Me Al“, which has been playing continuously in Norfolk since 1986, and breathe a sigh of relief that my last county tick is a corker.

It’s bigger on the inside. I’m sure someone else has said that.

With a trio of regulars at the bar, I put my trendy* Gandhi jacket over the nearest chair and prepare to annoy the landlord, faced with a row of five similarly interesting looking pump clips.

“What beer should I have then ?”

“It depends what style you like“

“I like beer. Choose me a beerany beer“

I am such a prat in pubs like this.

“Would you like a taster ?”.

“NO !!! A pint’s a taster“. You know the script by now.

Anyway, something by Fat Cat,

followed by a Vanilla Stout by Mr Winters, observed by little Buddy (everyone loved Buddy),

and then something the landlord did rave about from Bull of the Woods which brought back memories of Steve Earl programmes in Bungay.

It’s a drinkers’ pub, but to be honest the cask was secondary to the joy created by landlord and locals, welcoming taxi drivers and port workers and tickers.

“I had eight large doubles last night. Well, you’re not gonna have eight SMALL ones, are you ?”.

I loved the fact it served Carling and San Miguel (with slice of lemon). I loved the relentlessly upbeat ’80s soundtrack (“Wishing Well”, “Don’t Give Up”). I felt part of the pub.

But I was, of course, horrified by the art in the Gents.

I wish I’d been there for their home-made pies and 10% Imperial Stout, but after three (3) beers in an hour it’s probably best it was off.

A great way to complete any county. Shame about the big smudge over Thompson, which isn’t something you get to write every day.

But was I done with Yarmouth ? Oh no.

*Mrs RM’s word, not mine
