The Recruiting Sergeant, Norwich

We thought we would try this pub again as we did not stop for a drink the last time we were there. (My previous review shows today’s date because I just corrected a typo I noticed. I cannot remember how long ago our other visit was.) This time we were earlier in the day, and were the only customers. There are two main areas, one of which has the bar in it, and there are separate rooms at either end of the building. As before, all tables were laid for eating, although when we asked the barmaid where we could sit, we were told anywhere. It has the atmosphere of a hotel dining room rather than a pub. Courage Best, Adnams Explorer, Woodforde’s Wherry, Timothy Taylor Landlord and Adnams Bitter were available. At £4.75 for a pint of Courage Best and a small diet Coke the prices are about average for the area. It is still not a place we felt comfortable drinking in, and it is normally busy with people eating, so I doubt we will visit again.
