11:45 Very busy. There were two stillages of casks for the 'Spoons beer festival. It appeared to have been for the opening weekend and all beers were on offer at £1.99. I wasn't clear what was on sale so I have not noted them.

The pub is found in Norwich, Norfolk, NR1 3QB.
Large two storey Wetherspoon's in a former hotel. Fairly typical Wetherspoon's interior apart from a life sized model of Quasimodo. Up to ten guest beers. Claim to fame is that the building can be seen in the background of film of the naked Monty Python organist. Extended and completely refurbished in 2016/7.
We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 19 different beers and tried 3 of them.
