Jolly Sailors

SquareMeal Review of Jolly Sailors

‘Eat, drink & be jolly’ is the encouraging motto at this unassuming whitewashed pub, which also owns the Brancaster Brewery, meaning perfect pints of Brancaster Best or Oyster Catch are guaranteed. In addition, there’s a reasonably priced wine list & a kitchen that knows its limitations, offering please-all snacks such as a half-pint of smoked prawns or hoummos with flatbread & pub classics of gammon, egg & chips, daily curries & pies. Pizzas every which way are the main draw, however, including takeaways. With realistic prices & a sensible kids’ menu, plus a large beer garden with a beach-themed ice-cream hut & separate play area, the Jolly Sailors is a boon for holidaying families, especially as quality is assured – the pub is under the same ownership as the acclaimed White Horse just down the road.

Great family pub

Took my children and mother for a lovely meal in the summer holidays.  Was a Friday night and was busy but still easy to get a table.  All the staff are lovely and we all loved Kieran's amazing magic tricks!  Food came very quickly and everyone enjoyed their meals.  The pizzas were great but we also ordered steak, fish and chips and a Caesar salad.  Would definitely recommend if you are looking for somewhere to eat and keep kids entertained.  Great outdoor playground but they also have books and board games if the weather isn't so great.

Been here a few times now. Was initially impressed by the food. Had fish and chips thought the fish was done beautifully.. Sadly the last few times I have been I have noticed a tendency to oversalt the food. The last time was the worst. Reluctant to go back which is a pity as there are only a handful of good pubs in Norfolk and I thought I had found another with the Jolly Sailors.
