The Recruit in Great Yarmouth

Ah, The Recruit – it's one of those hidden gems in Great Yarmouth that you might stumble upon by accident, and honestly, it's got a lot going for it if you're after something straightforward and easy on the wallet. From the reviews I've seen, folks really appreciate the cheap drinks and the friendly faces behind the bar, which make it feel like a proper local haunt where you can kick back with a game of darts or pool without breaking the bank. It's got that welcoming touch, especially if you've got kids in tow, as it's pretty family-oriented. But, let's keep it real, it does have its downsides – it can be a tad quiet, almost too peaceful if you're in the mood for a lively chat, and there've been a couple of stories about it not being the most inclusive spot, like when someone's had a go at others for just talking. Still, if you're up for a simple, unpretentious pub experience, I'd say give it a go; it's well worth seeking out for those affordable brews and a bit of downtime, though you might want to check the mood before settling in for the evening.
