The Jovial Sailor Public House

We love this place, lovely food and a good selection. Great outdoor area with lots of atmosphere, also with the added bonus of a play bit for kids. But the VERY best thing that sets the Jovial apart from other local pubs and keeps us coming back again and again is the absolutely awesome staff! Everyone is SO friendly and helpful, cheerful and attentive. A very special mention for two members of the team that always stand out for us and that’s Emily and Tilly, both always so energetic and welcoming!

I'm confused by this place. The staff were awesome, the food was fine (nothing special) but the selection for vegans/veggies is good so that was a positive. Cockails were decent but we spent quite a lot on not very much. Nice decor inside, good car park and outdoor garden area.

Very Busy Pub but this doesn’t affect the service you receive. Lots of staff on hand and all the staff we interacted with were very pleasant. Pub has a great garden with plenty of seating and the kids loved the park area. Food was good the kids meals were a great portion size. My son had the pizza and couldn’t manage it all so I ate the last slice and it was to die for! The ultimate burger was fully loaded and definitely worth every penny. We will definitely be coming back.

Had a very enjoyable family meal at The Jovial Sailor this evening. We reserved one of the outdoor huts, which was perfect in the early evening sunshine. My ultimate burger was delicious and very filling (sorry, forgot to take a photo! , and my eton mess was great too. A couple of pints of Hogs Back Tea to go with it and I was very happy! Excellent value for money, friendly and efficient service. Recommended.

We love going to the Jovial. The team are always absolutely lovely and go out of their way to make you feel as welcome as possible. We popped down for Mother's Day and enjoyed the carvery with a group of 14. Big shout out to James for helping with our numerous table size adjustments (and always with a smile), and to Mark for the food which was absolutely top notch!
