Amazing premises to enjoy an extraordinary meal. The atmosphere and warm surroundings were lovely, and the menu was extensive. The French onion soup was spectacular (as was all the meal) and for the amount of food, very good value. Arrive Hungry!! A special mention to our server, Lisa. She was absolutely spectacular. Never felt rushed, just left to relax and enjoy our meal at a pleasant pace with Lisa only popping to ask us if they could do any more to help us enjoy our visit. Perfect. Highly recommended. On holidays, and it was a perfect find. I hope my travels brings me back here one day. 5 🌟 amazing.

The best gnocchi I’ve ever had—no contest! I ordered two starters instead of a main, and even though I was full, I wanted to order dessert in hopes that it would match the 👌. But I was just too full. I will be back!

We were recommended the Recruitment Sargent as we are visiting near by. We were not disappointed at all! We ordered a fillet and a sirloin to be collected as a takeaway both steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides that came with it were divine. The staff were very professional and polite for the little time we were in there. Would definitely recommend to others. Very reasonably priced for what we ordered. Thank you Recruiting Sargent!

We were recommended to visit this pub when staying in the area last week. We had a fantastic, large portions, on a grey Monday lunch. We had our dogs with us so were shown to a smaller room at the rear which was perfect for the dogs to be kept away from the busy restaurant and the area to ourselves. Highly recommend

First time visiting with family the roasts are completely justified despite the price which really isn’t that bad to be honest. Delicious food , great service I don’t need to go into detail because visiting will justify it all

Highly recommend if you’re a meat eater as portions are huge and I’m told it’s delicious. However, the vegetarian food here is the worst I’ve had. The service is good and the restaurant itself is cosy but would benefit from having a little lighting- felt a bit odd seeing so many people using their phone lights to read the menu as there is no restaurant lighting other than candles on the tables.

Amazing visit to The Recruiting Sargent! Food is what can only be described as OUTSTANDING! Service also lovely. My husband had the steak and kidney pudding which was HUGE and in his words brimming with steak. I had the marinated lamb skewers (again huge!) mains and two Proseccos and a pint of Guinness soooo reasonable even with a 15% tip added as was truly deserved. We are visiting the area for a couple of days and actually said we would drive from Essex just for the food! Truly delicious and we have left so full! Thank you so much to the entire team!

Visiting with family to celebrate a milestone birthday it was clear from the get go that profit over experience for the diner was at the heart of this business. Having the large room for maximum of two hours was definitely on the clock. Let’s start with the food….the Sunday roast was one of the worst I have ever experienced at a restaurant. The food was cold, the vegetables raw and the plates served swimming in gravy it was more like a Sunday lunch soup. The offering was also served with a tasteless mound of what was I presume meant to be stuffing but was more the consistency of wallpaper paste. Thinking ok the main course let itself down let’s move onto pudding…the chocolate brownie was just that a brownie, nothing fancy but the £9.95 price tag definitely not worth it. Turning to the overall experience I mentioned profit over the diners and here it became evident as the two hour window approached in marched the I presume manager on duty and a colleague to unceremoniously strip the room of birthday banner and usher the guests out. Whilst I understand the two hour slot it was the way the room was stripped and guests hurried to get their coats on and moved out that was rather distressing. Would I recommend this place NO. Have I eaten here before YES but on this occasion and the overall experience I cannot see myself returning.

I have never paid so much money for such awful bland tasting food. Their children’s menu I wouldn’t feed my nonexistent dog… so had to get my 4 and 6 year old an adult meal. Pan fried chicken was the worst I’ve ever had and most expensive. Their “wagyu” burger I presume was boiled rather than grilled. Their chicken burger was cooked in such old oil that it was pretty much black. Triple cooked chips were nothing of such, more like triple boiled chunky wedges, again anwful. Everything was awful, even down to their sauces! You cannot charge £20-£30 per dish and serve 💩. Highly of the meal was bread and olives 😂. It’s dark af inside, I get all the adding to “ambiance”. But they have no ceiling lights. All wall lights and a poxy portable table lamp that lights up about 5inches of the table.

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!

Not cheap but the portion sizes are immense. 3rd visit - Tried out their Sunday roasts. Had the Nut Roast and Roast Beef. The Beef was a huge portion and an excellent portion size for the price. The Nut Roast was really good quality. Worth a visit for a treat on a Sunday.

Restaurant Review. Visited this restaurant for a family meal at lunchtime. It was very busy but service was good. The menu is extensive and in my opinion some dishes are expensive. Fish pie £24 Skate £27 Fillet steak £37. Portion sizes are big but not everyone wants a large plate of food! We prefer a nicely presented plate with quality over quantity. My husband ordered a starter as he did not want a main course - scallops & chorizo - this was £16.50. When the dish came he was shocked to see it was 2 small scallops and a chorizo crumb !! Very disappointing. At the end of the meal we were talking (as a family would do) but got the distinct impression that the staff wanted us to leave - the table for 2 near us was turned 3 times !!. If you like large pub food at quite a high price then this pub is probably the place for you !

I just wanted to take the time to thank all the staff working yesterday evening for making my birthday meal so lovely. I have quite a bit of stress at home and I decided to have a rare treat and have dinner all on my own with my book last night! The staff couldn't have got it all more perfect for me as a solo diner. They chose a really good spot in a quiet corner. They wished me a happy birthday as soon as I sat down which means they wrote it down at booking which was a nice touch. The food was phenomenal! As it always is at The Recruiting Seargent. They checked on me enough but not too much which is hard but they got just right, especially considering it was a very busy evening and they had a table of 30 in the next room. And then, when my pudding came out they'd written happy birthday across the chopping board which was such a kind touch. I couldn't fault anything and thank you so much to the serving and kitchen staff for the excellent and relaxing evening. Many thanks and Happy Christmas to you all :)

Had a meal at this gastro pub / restaurant and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of food, the atmosphere and the service. Initially we thought the prices were slightly higher than what we would have expected, but when you see the portion sizes and taste the quality. Those couple of extra pounds soon disappear and the meal becomes an absolute bargain. Make sure you book as it becomes busy very quickly. Will definitely be going again.

Absolutely amazing food. Recommended (and booked) by a friend for a long overdue meet up and informed it was their favourite pub ever... Safe to say he was spot on. Plenty of cask ale and draught beers on offer and the food was exquisite. It was a little more pricey that a typical pub, but the portions were huge and the quality of the food was top notch - well worth the extra cost! It's a dog friendly place too, we sat outside in the courtyard as we had a few 4 legged friends with us, but they also had a marquee for the less ideal days! Fully worth a visit if you're in the area - and if you're not in the area then go anyway as its worth the diversion! Just make sure you're either staying there or somewhere local as you'll have to roll back as you'll be stuffed with good food and good drinks!

Best pub in town. If you’re visiting in low season check their opening hours. We rolled up on a Wednesday night about 5 minutes before they were due to close. Despite this we received a warm welcome and efficient service. There is a nice bar with plenty of seating in different rooms which gives a warmer feel to the place. Best choice and condition of Ales, well kept and well served. Just sorry we didn’t get to visit again during our short stay. Thanks.

Es tan triste que es perder un Drayton par talentoso ahora su arrendamiento ha llegado a su fin. Junto con amigos disfrutamos de nuestro último almuerzo en este bonito lugar y, como es habitual, la comida, el servicio y el ambiente era inmejorable. Nos hubiera gustado Allyson y Steve lo mejor para el futuro y la esperanza de que después de una desesperadamente descanso bien merecido que se volverán en algún lugar en East Anglia. Gracias a ambos, se puede perder por muchos estamos seguros.
