“ The Jolly Sailors was recommended by friends as very glad we went. We both had the slow cooked belt pork and was one of the very best meals we have ever had ”
“ We visited here twice whilst on holiday, it’s a really nice pub/restaurant with lovely sea views. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. It was also dog friendly in the pub which served the same food as the restaurant. ”
“ Really enjoyed my Fish and Chips with mushy peas as did my Mum and partner who swapped her mushy peas for some side salad which wasn't an issue. Good range of beers and ales. We ate in the bar area but there is also a restaurant. Quite reasonably priced. Good atmosphere for a Thursday afternoon, quite busy. Good sized car park opposite. We had a good view of the sea. There is a seating area outside which would be lovely in warmer weather. Good walks along the seafront. ”
