The Steam Packet

The Steam Packet is a characterful city pub in Norwich where dogs are welcome inside the downstairs bar, so nobody has to volunteer for pavement duty.

Food is served in the pub Tuesday to Saturday, making it a handy stop for lunch or an early supper with your dog at your side. The pub opens from 3pm Tuesday and Wednesday and from midday Thursday to Saturday. There's an upstairs restaurant where dogs aren't allowed, but the downstairs pub area is the dog-friendly zone and the kitchen serves the same menu there until 9pm most evenings and 5pm on Saturdays.

Useful for the Riverside side of Norwich and station-area visitors, it's the sort of place where you can settle in with a drink and a bowl of food without worrying about where the dog fits into the plan.
