Welcome to the award-winning Fat Cat pub ::
Description
Colin & Marjie Keatley arrived on the Norwich pub scene in 1981, when they bought The White Lion on Oak Street. Colin already had many years of pub experience from his days as a licensee in London, (he was the youngest license holder in the West End) at, among others, The Savoy Tavern.
The White Lion was completely revamped, into a three room pub, with one central, triangular bar area serving the whole pub. It became a byword in Norwich for providing a better choice and quality of ale and was snapped up by the Tap & Spile chain of pubs to be their Norwich flagship outlet.
Other successful ventures were to follow, with Colin & Marjie cementing their popularity with Norwich drinkers at The Pottergate Tavern and St. Andrew's Tavern, on a leasehold basis.
