While some diners relished exceptional experiences filled with friendly service and delicious meals, particularly praising the Sunday roast, others reported unwelcoming staff, which marred their visits. Despite the mixed feedback on service quality, the menu's diverse offerings and reasonable prices, along with the inviting atmosphere, promise a satisfying dining experience for many. Whether you’re enjoying drinks outdoors or celebrating a special occasion, the Jolly Boatman remains a noteworthy spot, though customer service consistency could enhance its appeal.
I took my daughter her for a drink, she has special needs. Pub looks nice but staff very unfriendly and unhelpful. Tried there again a few weeks later September 2023, with 3 of us, and just as bad. It was a Thursday, both times, and quiet, so there was no excuse for their total unfriendlyness!! They just couldn't be bothered with us! Won't be going again, and I believe one at least was a senior member of staff, as I asked for advice on a type of wine, and he just flicked his arm and didn't respond well.
Sunday carvery. A bad experience as the service was very poor as was the food. The food was only LUKEWARM. The vegetables were hard (Broccoli and Cauliflower), the potatoes hardly roasted, Gravy lukewarm. We waited a very long time for the dessert menu and gave up in the end.
Just had an amazing Sunday Roast Dinner at the Jolly Boatman . 3 choices of meat, help yourself to a great selection of veg, all the trimmings, gravy, and selection of accompanying sauces. Great value for money, great service all in a lovely environment too . Definitely recommend.
Although a great looking, historic little pub right next to the canal, probably great for just having a drink but we had the Sunday Carvery and it was awful. £15.95 per head, total waste of money.
Great lunch, the staff are always friendly and interact well with my boys and the food was lovely as always. Thank you
