Staff were very helpful. The Inn was busy all the time we stayed. Staff still found time to ensure you were a valued guest. The menu was comprehensive and food portions were generous. Breakfast was included with our stay. Everything was freshly cooked.

Lovely Quaint Pub with High Standard of Dining

I stopped for one night on business and found it to be a real gem. Lovely friendly team and amazing restaurant with high end menu choices and very well cheffed food. It was Tuesday evening and they looked fully booked for food which said a lot to me. Great selection of beers too. Parking on site was free and had a lovely breakfast in the morning nd great chat with the owner in relation to its aerospace connections. Overall would stay again 100%

JUST BRILLIANT

This is the third occasion we have stayed at The Recruiting Sergeant and hopefully it won't be the last. We received a prompt and friendly check-in on arrival and were shown to our first-floor room which was a good size, as was the bathroom. Both were spotless and were kept that way for the duration of our 4 night stay. Overlooking the road caused us no concerns. Great choice of good quality food for breakfast and we had our evening meal there on 3 of the 4 nights. Superb choice of food and wine which us well-cooked, plentiful, and served by well-mannered and good-humoured staff.

We choose this venue as a base to explore Norfolk for a weekend, the location makes it an easy drive to the beach. We couldn't fault the food it was amazing and the staff are very friendly and helpful :) The best thing about our room was the under floor heating in the bathroom, the rest of the room was just adequate, could do with a little bit of an up grade. The upstairs and leading to the bedrooms just looked a little shabby.

GREAT PLACE TO STAY

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed here. The room we had overlooked the car park at the front but no problem whatsoever. Decent size room with good sized bathroom. Clean and tidy with good storage space. We first visited for an evening meal a few years ago and were impressed by both the welcome we got, and also the quality and variety of the food. Nothing has changed in that time with standards being just as high. Convenient for Norwich, the Broads and the coast, and serving an excellent breakfast, I can recommend The Recruiting Sergeant to anyone.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast, we had a great choice of breakfasts,the full English was a bit too big for me, I couldn't finish it, I should have gone for the small English. Plenty of parking. I would recommend booking a table for dinner as soon as possible, this venue is very popular with the locals. We would definitely stay at the Recruiting Sergeant again.

Nice place though right next to the road so had to have the windows closed on a very hot night. Food was superb, staff were helpful and had a missing blind replaced as soon as I mentioned it. Comfortable stay, would definitely recommend.
