If you want to combine your ride with a visit to one of the best real ale pubs in Great Yarmouth, then you will find that the Blackfriars Tavern has been voted into the CAMRA Good Beer Guide in the Great Yarmouth section by the East Norfolk CAMRA branch.

The pub is situated in between the River Yare and the sea, at the end of the Norfolk Coastal Cycleway, one of the National Cycle Network’s cycle routes that covers 59 miles through Norfolk from King’s Lynn to Great Yarmouth at the edge of the broads national park.

The feel of the bar is that of a country village pub, as it is situated on quiet roads a few hundred meters from the beach. It has warm heating during the winter and outdoor seating within a pair of walled courtyards which are the perfect location to spend time in the summer.

On Sunday, the landlord often provides free complimentary Roast Potatoes which goes perfectly with the wide selection of real ales, ciders, and beer.

Take photos with friends and family, or selfies on site beneath our historic preserved tiles in front of the entrance.

If you are looking for a more leisurely trip, then why not take a ride on the trains to visit Great Yarmouth to avoid riding on some of the busy main roads, the perfect way to explore Great Yarmouth by bike.

The Blackfriars Tavern welcomes well behaved children and is also a suitable pub for well controlled dogs with free water and sometimes a treat.

No Comments on Probably the Best Real Ale Pub in Great Yarmouth

In 2022, following recommendation by the East Norfolk CAMRA branch, the Blackfriars Tavern pub’s inclusion in the Great Yarmouth section of the Good Beer Guide by CAMRA was announced.

The Good Beer Guide is the list of the top 4500 pubs in the UK where the highest quality real ale and beer is served in the most pleasant pub surroundings, according to CAMRA members.

The Blackfriars Tavern pub welcomes many customers who are CAMRA members from Great Yarmouth and further afield, as well as many who are not.

Real ale is a short lived product which requires great cleanliness and attention to detail to ensure that it is presented in tip-top condition, and the same attention to detail is given to all the other drinks available in the pub, which makes the Blackfriars Tavern the best pub or bar to drink any sort of drink in Great Yarmouth.

In terms of the Real Ales on offer, the pub normally offers 6 local ales in the bar to drink, and these come from a variety of local ale brewers close to Great Yarmouth.

In addition to Real Ales served in the pub, we also serve Real Cider. The definition of Real Cider by CAMRA has recently changed, and we are please to offer at least 6 ciders at the bar which conform to the updated definition of Real Cider within the wider choice of 14 still ciders.

The Blackfriars Tavern pub is open year round and has friendly staff. It is situated a few minutes walk away from the commercial town centre, but still just a few hundred metres from the Great Yarmouth seafront. It is situated close to the Time and Tide Museum.

The pub has 2 separate bar areas in the pub where many drinks including continental beer and real ale are served by our friendly staff. Different to other pubs in the area, there are also 2 separate areas with seating outside which are walled and offer a great place to drink real ales in the pub grounds, served at the perfect temperature, capturing the sun most of the day.

Abbaye des Rocs

A 9% Belgian Style Ales Style Belgian Strong Ale from Belgium,usually available at The Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth, FB: BlackfriarsTavern

Abbaye des Rocs (9% alcohol vol.) is a pure malt beer, with no added sugar.
The entire range of tastes is directly linked to the double fermentation, the precise quantities of malts (7 types) as well as the mixtures of three kinds of hops (Belgian, German and Czech). Its colour is a striking deep and majestic red. Its taste is rich and full of subtlety. It is tasted like a red wine with which it shares the ruby colour without having the tannin.
It develops a strong sweet smell. It confirms the initial impression in the first mouthful, with a sharp body that is balanced with a certain
fruitiness. It frees itself on the palate and develops an impressive depth of taste. Some traces of burnt wood are detectable, but never scorched even if it contains this kind of malt. The foretaste is very prolonged because of its rich and unctuous development throughout the mouth. The bitter and sugar tendencies (even though there is no sugar in its composition) compete and come back together to the taster’s great satisfaction. It is a deep, mystic and extremely mature beer to be classed among the great products of our soil.
