Welcome to The Coachmakers Arms Norwich

About Us

Dating from the 17th century, The Coachmakers Arms is a Grade II listed real ale pub on St Stephens Road, Norwich. This former coaching inn stands on the site of an old asylum and is believed to be haunted. The spacious courtyard has been converted into a large drinking area, and there is a pleasant garden patio for long summer evenings.
