We asked Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News readers on social media for their pub recommendations - and they agreed there's no place like Norwich.

Here are five of the most recommended pubs.

Reviewers have described the food on offer as "delicious" and "first-class" with one commenter, Tina Reeve, saying: "I would recommend the Reindeer on Dereham Road. Amazing pub, amazing landlady, and amazing staff."
