The Bread and Cheese is one of the more interesting pubs I have ever been into. It is like stepping back 30 years, into a completely different time. This pub is more like an old fashioned social club than a proper public house. The clients are mostly of retirement age. I wouldn't say this is a bad pub but there are a few things that really do need improving and updating. The bar is old fashined, made from very thin materials, almost like "put together yourself at home bar". The decoration is well out of date, although you get this in a lot of pub it is perhaps to far in this place. The televisions are miniature and never actually show anything. The music is usually just a radio with Norwich FM or Heart FM on which is just awful and the beer tastes like it will give you a stomach problem which brings me to the final point - the day after I was in the Bread and Cheese I had a serious gut ache. This could be down the the fact that because the Bread and Cheese only serve one real ale I had to drink lager all night.
It is interesting that a pub like this is still in business as we see them close all around us every day and considering there is no real pull to draw customers into the Bread and Cheese I am fearful for the future of the place when its current customers start to die off (which probably wont be too long).
It doesn't seem to do nice food or show any sports however they do have entertainment with local singers in on a saturday night. It is nice to see that there is a local pub which still has a customer base who are loyal and turn up to drink but this pub is going nowhere soon.
