The Fat Cat & Canary

The Fat Cat & Canary is a Norwich pub on Thorpe Road where dogs are welcome inside. That straightforward access is the detail that turns a quick drink or meal into a genuine break for the whole group.

It's a useful stop for drinks and food near the river and the stadium approach and the kind of place where settling in with your dog and a pint feels entirely normal. The pub serves food and pours real ales and the atmosphere picks up noticeably on match days. Dogs can join you at the table while you eat and the opening hours suit both a quick midweek pint and a longer weekend session.

It's handy for Carrow Road, Thorpe Hamlet and riverside walks, so if your route takes you past, it's worth knowing they'll welcome the two of you in together.
