Not the best pub around, when it was the Schoolhouse it was very much marketed towards students and when it was the Fountain it was pretty much a restaurant so there isn't a great deal of interesting history about the place. Now it is one of those pubs which is in an ideal location and just upsets me that more has not been done to make it a top establishment because it does have the potential.
On the plus side they show every single Norwich City game live and serve Norfolk Grain beer, which I think is one of the finest local breweries around. The last beer I had in there was a pint of Summertime.
This is really a fine beer, one of the best I have tried in recent weeks. Described as "a ludicously light summer ale, with fruity hops and a full mouthfeel" and I have to say I agree. This is a very light beer and perhaps too easy to drink! This pint was the highlight of my time in the Earlham Arms which was over crowded because of the football and when there is no football on the place is dead. Not too bad in terms of price and a fair selection of drinks to choose from but not a place I would put on my list of recommendations.
