   Excellent food and service in a real pub with good beer and staff. Only drawback was one yapping mongrel in the other bar.

   Noise level was energetic because it was a Shanty Monday. They were very good. Meal was lovely. Staff amazing. Highly recommend.

   Authentic Norfolk pub, plenty of tables. Menu offered a fairly comprehensive selection of dishes but the steak and ale pie was unavailable. The advertised catch of the day was salmon but when I queried this with a member of the cooking staff they admitted that salmon wasn’t caught locally!

   Love it here but it’s got pricey plus not a fan of them adding service charge on the bill. I know they would take it off but the service is good but would like to choose the amount I give as money is tight. 4 people mains and puddings two drinks each 180.00 seems a lot only pizzas and fish and chips ordered plus puddings But will go back because I love the pizzas but not as often .

   The staff at the jolly sailor’s were friendly , polite and helpful the food was excellent and good value. I’ve been to the pub three times in the past ten years and it’s always been a pleasure to visit. I’ll definitely be back in the future.

    It's a beautiful location, but overpriced for the food quality and quality of drinks.
