What david parry likes about Jolly Sailor:
Our first time here but definitely not our last, lovely cosy pub, very polite, friendly and helpful staff and excellent food, I only wish it was a bit was closer to us as would definitely be our local to be used on a regular basis. View all feedback. What Bobcar doesn't like about Jolly Sailor:
Overall food was OKish but the products which were clearly not prepared on the premises were very poor The chicken pie would have benefited from having some chicken in it!! Lovely pastry and flavoured sauce but where was the chicken I sent the first one back and the second one was only marginally better Needed some solid pieces The flan which was clearly made and brought in had pastry that was more like concrete and...

The Jolly Sailor pub, located by the water with a beautiful setting, is a popular spot for groups and special occasions. While the service may not be exceptional, the food at this establishment ranges from average to disappointing. Dishes like the chicken pie and sandwiches are not up to par with the pub's reputation, with some food items clearly not being prepared on-site. The prices are also on the higher side, especially for the quality of the fare. However, some dishes like the treacle tart and Sunday Lunch options are praised for being delicious and enjoyable. The friendly staff and quaint atmosphere make it a charming spot for a meal, but inconsistencies in both food quality and service may deter some guests from returning.
