ISTR the pub that used to be called the Reindeer on Dereham road had plenty of space, cheap decent beer and no music?
Bought by Firkin and became Finnesko and Firkin. I think it's reverted to Reindeer now. On Dereham Road, just outside Inner Ring Road (opposite side of centre to railway station). Not been in there for 5 years, IIRC.
Nearly....It's now called the finnesko (which is a type of boot worn in arctic explorations just in case anyone is interested). Sorry for being off topic, but no-one I know seems to have an answer for this...
What has happened to the firkin pubs? All the ones I've seen have dropped the '& firkin' from the name. Is the chain dead and they've sold all the pubs? Is it a cunning ploy to make them seem less like a chain by changing the name? Anyone?
