The Recruiting Sergeant

Spotted this public house and decided to break up the day after shopping at downtown. Absolutely wonderful lady front of house . Nothing too much trouble. Stopped for just a drink but on seeing ‘The Golden Years’ menu decided to eat too. What an excellent decision. 3 courses of well appointed small portioned dishes all for under £10 . Quite something . I will be bringing my family here from now on when visiting Grantham for shopping as it’s by far outstanding service and good food. The coffee is also of great quality !

We have been here several times and have not been disappointed. The food is good and the staff are very accommodating, polite and pleasant. However, our last visit left a lot to be desired Firstly, we had booked for a 1.45pm lunch only to be told when we arrived that all food had to be ordered by 2pm and they were closing at 2.30pm! This was not conveyed to us when we booked and subsequently left us feeling rushed ordering our food and feeling very uncomfortable. Three of us (there were four in our party) decided to have the steak pie and when giving the waitress our order we were told that there were no pies left why weren't we told this when given the menus? What we had in the end was ok but it was a second choice and not really what we wanted. We did not order a starter as we felt rushed and decided not to have a desert as we could tell that they wanted to close as it was 2.40pm already. Overall, a very disappointing visit especially as it was the first time our friends had been there upon our recommendation and had travelled 1.5 hours to be with us. We will not be going again.

I would recomend the recruiting sergeant for a meal ,when we arrived went in and the staff could not do enough,to help us had a few drinks then ordered our meal,my partner had the sizzler and i had the sausage and mash wich was fantastic,i nnormally have steak pie but i thought i would have change ,but one of the girls did reccomend the steak pie any way as were being served with our meal ,someone else had ordered the steak pie and it looked amazing.any way the next time you are passing through,make a point of going in and having a meal,you wont be dissappointed ,also it is a pub stopover ,we parked our motorhome for the night ,and it is quiet but phone in advance .and all the staff are wonderful.

Came here because our first choice was too busy . What a good move and now we have a new first choice . Lunch menu is quite varied pub food at reasonable price. there are also special offers available . Good quality lunch enjoyed by all in spacious restaurant . There is also plenty of outside space . Plenty of carparking is available at rear of pub

The atmosphere at this restaurant was fantastic, with outstanding service staff. The food was plentiful and nicely presented, with a good variety on the menu. We had an enjoyable evening and dining experience. A big thank you to all of the staff!
