Just a small family get together for six. All the food was excellent, hot, served quickly and efficiently. Everyone was very happy with their meals, all plates cleared as usual.
The drinks were good, from a good range of choices.
Service by Sophia, Callum and the team was excellent, thank you.

Almond family you’ve got a great establishment with great staff

Three of us ate at the Jolly Sailor on Tuesday evening, everything was great from start to finish, food, staff, service and atmosphere. To top it off, it was very clean throughout. We all said it will be our default venue when next in the area. Highly recommended.

We had the best dessert we’ve had in a long while here. Good portions and well presented, the cheesecake was light and delicious and the apple crumble was served with custard and a generous crumble topping. We are craving it again today! The pub itself is lovely inside, it does fill up quickly and can get quite loud at times so we recommend getting there early.
