About Gibraltar Gardens

A riverside spot opposite Anderson's Meadow, this Norwich pub has grown into a genuinely welcoming place for families — one family travelled from Cambridge for a garden party and called it the most child-friendly place in the city. The beer garden is the real draw: it runs right down to the water, there's paddle board hire and a pop-up sauna, and on a warm day it's hard to beat. Plenty of room for a pram out there, high chairs inside, a kids' menu and free parking. Food is solid rather than fancy — the burgers get good marks, and the Sunday roast has delicious gravy and generous beef, though the roast potatoes can be stingy for the price. Worth knowing: when big events are on, service slows noticeably, so it's not the night for hungry, tired children.
