Adam and Eve, Historic pub in Bishopgate, Norwich, England
Adam and Eve is a pub on Bishopgate between Norwich Cathedral and the riverside, built with brick and flint walls featuring Dutch gables. The building contains indoor and outdoor seating areas where visitors can enjoy traditional British meals and local ales.
The building started as a brewhouse in 1249 to supply workers building the cathedral with beverages. It later served patients at the hospital next door by providing refreshments.
The pub serves as a gathering place in the city center, where locals and visitors enjoy traditional British drinks and food together. People come here to experience the sense of continuity this old building provides in the neighborhood.
The pub is centrally located between two major landmarks and easily reached on foot. It is worth exploring both the indoor sections and outdoor seating areas to find a comfortable spot depending on the weather.
A Saxon well from ancient times remains preserved beneath the lower bar area. During cellar excavations in the 1970s, workers also uncovered remains of medieval monks.
