Hop Rocket

Hop Rocket is a compact micropub tucked into Norwich's Golden Triangle, serving craft beer, cider and a tidy food menu in a friendly neighbourhood setting. Dogs are welcome inside and the team keeps a water bowl ready for visitors on foot or stopping by after a walk along Unthank Road.

The pub opens daily from noon, staying open until 11pm Monday to Thursday, midnight Friday and Saturday and 10.30pm Sunday. Food is served in the same dog-friendly space, so the whole group can settle in at the table without splitting up or heading back to the car.

It's a handy local stop for city visitors and Golden Triangle residents alike and the sort of place where a quick pint and a snack doesn't require a grand plan. Just a lead, a thirsty dog and a free hour.
