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.

Staff were helpful and friendly. Our evening meal was fantastic and great value. Breakfast was also very good with quality ingredients and great service.
Sadly our overnight stay was let down with the room not being up to standard.
The lock to the room wasn’t easy to open. Areas were grubby and in need of decorating, especially the paintwork in the bathroom.
Whilst we would return to eat in the restaurant we would not stay overnight again.

Lovely room. Ours was at the top, it was a hot night and heat rises! We did have the windows open but it’s quite a busy road so lots of road noise. The blind also let in a lot of light too and if light sensitive there was a bright green light shinning in the ceiling. Bed very comfortable as were the pillows. Restaurant packed and the food was good. I had the roast and my husband had the mutton curry - huge potions. Staff very helpful and smiley but rushed off their feet.

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.

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%

No shower in this particular room, but a large bath.

Biggest issue - room was freezing with no way to tweak heating. No iron in the room either.

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.

Great B&B

Fantastic B&B. Food was absolutely amazing but especially at dinner the portion sizes are too big for us. If you are a big eater then happy days but for us it was rather daunting. Beautifully cooked and an amazing choice though. Breakfast was lovely. Quite noisy in our room, although the room was very nice. Lots of noise from the road and from the cleaners downstairs from around 5 am!
