Great lunch, the staff are always friendly and interact well with my boys and the food was lovely as always. Thank you

Nestled along the scenic canal, this charmingly historic pub offers a delightful setting for both locals and visitors. 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.
