What Crunch “Crunchie” Munch doesn't like about Rafter's At The Catherine Wheel:

I went here for a quiz night hosted by the amazing Izzy Harjett. It was such a fun night and me and my friends had a great time! Family run pub, great atmosphere, great entertainment, good beer. LBGTQIA friendly! I've returned a few times and will continue to do so! View all feedback.

A cosy and welcoming LGBTQ+ pub with fairly-priced drinks. Lucy Hole kept us entertained with an evening of camp Christmas cabaret

This. Is. A. Wonderful. Place. You must attend, mostly on Friday night

The Catherine Wheel in Norwich offers a variety of experiences, from respectful and enjoyable nights out to instances of disrespect and disorganization. With a mix of friendly staff, great British vibes, top-notch Sunday roasts, and a fun party atmosphere, this pub has something for everyone. From karaoke nights to drag queen performances, there is always something exciting happening. The welcoming environment also makes it a great place to meet new friends, as the staff and owners go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. Whether you're looking for a chill evening or a lively party, the Catherine Wheel has you covered.

Lovely Sunday roast with generous helpings. We chose the roast beef which I can recommend together with a very homely restaurant area upstairs.
