The Fat Cat Free House in Norwich, Norfolk, United Kingdom | Pub

Welcome to The Fat Cat Free House, a Pub in Norwich, United Kingdom.   The Fat Cat Free House is rightly renowned for its beers and was the first Pub in the United Kingdom to win the prestigious CAMRA National Pub of the Year twice.   We look forward to seeing you in The Fat Cat Free House in Norwich  soon.

Colin & Marjie closed the Pub for six months, to allow free rein to the creative genius of master renovator, Willy Moles. Willy ripped out the old fittings and furnishings, making space for a tap room and realising his and Colin's vision of a starker, darker, yet somehow more comfortable drinking environment. With red and black paint still wet to the touch (an innovation still used to this day) The Fat Cat Free House opened its doors to the Public in autumn 1991.

Whilst Colin & Marjie built a countrywide reputation for the quality of both the beer and the atmosphere at The Fat Cat Free House, they waited seven years for their achievements to be recognised. Their reward came in 1998 with, not one, but two national awards. The Good Pub Guide compilers were the first to come forward, naming The Fat Cat Free House as 'Best Beer Pub' for the year. This prestigious award was followed, a few months later, by the ultimate accolade, as the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) voted The Fat Cat Free House its overall winner in its nationwide Pub of the Year contest.  Standards have never been allowed to slip and, in 2003, The Fat Cat Free House regained its position as The Good Pub Guide's 'Beer Pub of the Year'.

Most recently of all, in 2004, Colin & Marjie have made history, by steering The Fat Cat Free House to become the first Pub ever to win the CAMRA National Pub of the Year award for a second time.  Here stands the tale of one of Britain's best-loved ale-houses.
