Recruiting Sergeant - Grantham

The food was excellent with generous portion sizes. The octopus was cooked to perfection—tender and not chewy at all. The fish was both flavorful and tender, a truly delightful experience! The oysters were slightly small but still tasty.

Have been to Recruiting Sergeant and I am always amazed how friendly and welcoming the staff are. There is a bar area in front and restaurant part in the back, some tables available outside too and decent sized car park. The food is nice, prepared up to the standards and tasty. The only little cons for a small portion of vegetables served with main. Also, the staff is happy to swap extra like chips for potatoes and that's very accommodating. Good choice of starters, mains and puddings that I recommend to everyone as they're super delicious.

Great family pub with good food and beers. I really like the smaller menu options they have too.

Nice pub showing football and with a large seating area outside. Good selection of beers and ciders as well as non-alcoholic. Food however was disappointing. Had 3 small dishes for £13.50. Three small pieces of fried chicken, three small chicken strips (both of which would be worth about 50p in total from the freezer section of any budget supermarket) and three pork belly bites which on the menu were described as 'crispy'. The fat on the pork belly was soggy and not rendered in the slightest and yet the meat was tough, this really was poor. Might need a re-think on how that dish is advertised.

Good pub, but based on my experience, I wouldn't eat here again.

I think they must have been having an off day, as every other time I've been here for a meal it's been excellent.

My sister ordered a veggie burger from the wonderful menu, but received a beef burger instead. Fortunately, she's not a vegetarian or vegan, but avoids red meats nonetheless. To give them credit, it was quickly rectified, so not much damage was done, though I believe in getting it right first time is what they need to aim for.

I chose the Salmon and Dill Fishcakes, which sounded delicious. However, it mainly tasted of potato and only one mouthful tasted of any salmon. At least my Apple Crumble and Custard pudding was fabulous to make up for it.

As I said earlier, I've eaten here a number of times over recent years and it's always been very impressive in the past so I put the latest time as an off day.

We went for a family meal today with a party of 10. The staff were welcoming and the building was easy to access, food delicious and very reasonably priced. All of us had something different and there were no complaints. I wanted to write this review as a SEND parent, we usually find it difficult to go out to eat and I was very nervous about our visit today but the staff could not do any more to help us. My youngest needed a highchair as he couldn't sit on the regular chairs, however the highchair was suited more to babies/young toddlers and his legs were too high for the tray to rest on top. The lady (I assume manager) was amazing, she got a screwdriver out and adjusted it for us there and then, without making us feel uncomfortable. My eldest struggled being on a bus table and the outdoor area was perfect (and safe) for her to pop out with us for a little break. We then had the wonderful waitress Mia, she was just amazing. She made special "cocktails" (J2o's) for my daughter so she could join in on the party, stopped meltdowns spiralling by just being wonderfully kind and we honestly felt so welcome. Can't recommend highly enough as somewhere families can enjoy a meal whilst still feeling welcome no matter the need... which is rare!! Thank you x
