Monday 2nd November at the Blackfriars Tavern. Open Branch Meeting is at 7pm, and the AGM follows at 8:30pm.

This is a great chance for CAMRA members who have not attended a branch meeting to come along and see what's what; the people who normally attend the monthly meetings are a welcoming and friendly bunch and would love for you to come along. Members of CAMRA can take part, non-members may only observe.

If you are not a member of CAMRA, it is the "Campaign for Real Ale"; Europe's largest and most successful consumer group. They campaign to ensure quality real ale, c***r, and perry, alongside thriving pubs and clubs, in every community. There is a local East Norfolk Branch https://www.facebook.com/groups/1947554198594853 which meets monthly and also organises B**r and C***r walks, events and visits.

It’s that Tuesday again. The last one of the month, which means quiz night at The Blackfriars Tavern.

As usual, the indoors at the pub is fully booked.

The quiz gets going properly from 7:30pm, so come a little earlier to get settled. Friendly, relaxed, and just challenging enough to spark a gentle disagreement on the way home. Teams of up to 4 welcome.

As always, normal food service of pies and bowls of chips is suspended on quiz night, with last orders at 6pm. The courtyard will be open if the weather plays along.

Come along, settle in, and enjoy a proper Blackfriars Tavern evening.

“Have you seen a man dressed as a chicken?” I’m sitting at the bar of the Red Herring, enjoying a pint of Oakham’s Jeffrey Hudson Bitter, when four men on a stag do burst through the front door.  The group begins to check the radiators. The Red Herring is a fairly spacious Victori

Hi, Thursday 1st October, it's the next GY Folk Night at the Blackfriars Tavern Great Yarmouth.

What is it? It's a folk night - of the people, by the people, for the people. There is no booked act or band, which means you make it what it is.

How does it work?

1.You turn up with your singing voice, or your spoken words, or your instrument, or with your listening ears.

2.They go round the room and ask if you want to do something, you can say "yes" or "not tonight" or "not yet", there is no pressure.

3.If yes, then you do your thing

4.They ask the next person. When they get to the end, they start again with the first person.

There is a break and we do some complimentary snacks after the half way point.

Come along to watch or come along to perform. See you soon!

**This one sold out, but we'll have another on Thursday 20th August**

There's something special about b**r served the old way — straight from a wooden barrel, on gravity, the way it's been done for centuries.

Right now at The Blackfriars Tavern, we have a small wooden cask from Ampersand Brewery filled with their Wh**ky Barrel Aged Stout · 5.4% ABV. This is proper "b**r from the wood" — traditional real ale served on gravity direct from the barrel, straight out of the cellar.

The wh**ky barrel ageing gives this stout a depth and character you just don't get from a standard cask. There's something about the wood that softens and enriches the b**r, adding gentle oak notes and a whisper of the spirit that came before it. It's a slow, patient sort of drink — something worth taking your time over.

It's available now, while stocks last. And with a small cask like this, stocks really won't last long.

Ask at the bar, find a quiet corner, and enjoy a proper pint of something a little different.
