The Champion is a cosy pub in the centre of Norwich at 101 Chapelfield Road (NR2 1SE), directly opposite the Chantry Place (Chapelfield) shopping centre. A Batemans house, it always has cask beer on the bar plus a strong gin selection, with homemade food served Wednesday to Saturday.

Opening hours are Wed & Thu 12:00–23:00, Fri & Sat 12:00–01:00 and Sun 12:00–22:00 (closed Mon & Tue). The PA-equipped room welcomes both originals and covers from local performers.
