What Rossie181 doesn't like about The Jolly Roger:
The restaurant experience was not pleasant. The children were served two portions of cold chips, which were promptly returned. The explanation given was that they were sitting outside, despite the chips being just brought out and the temperature being 25 degrees. I do not plan on returning to this restaurant.

The restaurant offers delicious food that is perfect for families, and the atmosphere is lovely and clean. We ordered the fish platter twice and the fish and chips twice, all of which were incredibly fresh and flavorful. We would definitely come back again. View all feedback.

The Jolly Roger restaurant presents a stark contrast in customer experiences, leading to divided opinions. While some guests rave about the fresh and flavorful fish dishes served in a clean and delightful atmosphere, others lament the poor service and exorbitant prices, citing cold, reheated food and a lack of professionalism. Complaints regarding rude staff and a depressing environment overshadow the positive remarks, raising concerns about value for money. Ultimately, customers are left pondering whether this establishment can reconcile its culinary strengths with the necessity of adequate service and a welcoming atmosphere.
