About
The Jolly Sailor is a classic quay-side pub that thrives on its location. While many guests love the outdoor seating and friendly bar staff, the kitchen performance is frequently criticized. Cold food and long wait times are common complaints, though the fish and chips remain a popular choice when they get it right.
