One of Norwich's oldest pubs is running for a prestigious national award with the winner announced next week.
The Murderers in Timber Hill has made the shortlist for the Best Sports Bar 2024 award which is being run by the Morning Advertiser.
It is the second time the city boozer has been in the running for the prize after winning it in 2015.
The Morning Advertiser praised the pub's "impressive beer range and keg lines" and said "sports fans will also delight in more than a dozen screens".
Owner Phil Cutter said being a sports pub is more than "just turning the telly on".

"We have been really lucky over the last 10 to 12 years," he said, "We have done reasonably well in lots of different ways but it's always nice to win.
"It's not just about turning on telly and putting on football, it's about making it an experience."
The nomination comes as the pub is undergoing a refurb with scaffolding currently on the building.
