In the light of the government announcement of March 20th, all pubs are now closed until further notice.
Some of them may well still be offering a takeaway beer service and some others will also be selling food takeaways, perhaps even with delivery. If you can give any of our pubs some support through these terrible times by buying some takeaway food or drink, please do so. Our pubs need as much support of possible if they're going to still be there for us when the crisis is over.

The Buck is an old half-timbered pub that was refurbished in 1999 and its bar includes many curios. Next door to the pub is the Norfolk and Suffolk Aviation Museum, which is located on land supplied by a former owner of the pub. A curiosity is that Alan Breeze, one-time singer with the Billy Cotton Band, was landlord here for many years. A photograph of him behind the bar can be found at alanbreeze.com.
The car park also provides access to the Norfolk & Suffolk aviation museum with about 40 aircraft and various associated artefacts including details on USAAF & RAF Bomber Command groups and a ROC display from the former 6th (Norwich) group.

The 1861 & 1871 censuses show the pub next to, or near, the Old Buck, which might suggest that the pub had relocated before 1861.
