1559 at Sprowston Manor in Broadland

Been couple of times in the last year but yesterday was for a special occasion to celebrate a 90th birthday. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. We were allowed to decorate with balloons, banners etc although we kept it simple. Great service, fantastic food and good selection of vegetarian options. Only thing was where we were positioned, for a group of almost 20 we were between the bar and the main dining room which is the main thoroughfare of the venue. We could've done with a slightly quieter spot to accommodate the elderly people in our group in wheelchairs etc from the vast amount of people coming through with trays of drinks and children running around. It didn't dampen the day or the atmosphere we made it what it was.

I've been taking my wife up the whiffler once a month for years and it's always an enjoyable experience

We have used this Chinese for years. Its our favourite. The best chips in Thorpe! And you can't beat their satay ❤️

Again,when our family visits us,from Yorkshire, in December,we always have our Christmas meal at the Recruiting Sergeant. Every year the starter is always the best we have ever had,the main meal is always the best we have ever had,and we always take our desserts home with us every year,as our eyes are always bigger than our bellies!! The Recruiting Sergeant is exceptional. The staff are friendly,service is excellent, and yet again,the food is outstanding. See you all in December 2025!

Have had take away in previous weeks and it was OK as curry in Norfolk goes. Last night placed a large and varied order. It arrived missing 2 items, that they would not send on. All the wet dishes were unpleasant, tasting cheap sweet and artificial. Rice and poppadoms were nice. So disappointed
