Was pleased with Sunday roast, but was rushed as they had taken another booking for large party so had to vacate our table early. Not happy.
Very nice food good selection on menu. The staff were very friendly and helpful, good atmosphere. Hopefully we will be able to return again soon.
Really tasty food. No complaints at all. Very lovely location, friendly staff. Perfect for a lunch time catch up with the girls. Management more than happy to accommodate Meerkat Meals too.👍👍👍
Eating a Sunday roast with the family outside overlooking the lock was lovely. Good food and polite service. This set us up with the energy we needed to head off on a picturesque walk.
We had a roast lunch,loads of beef on our plates,lovely fresh vegetables, I would fully recommend this place, can't wait to return in a few weeks time :)
A lovely friendly place, lovely to eat in the conservatory overlooking the river. Good service and lovely food. Will be having a Christmas meal there with friends.
Pub was virtually empty, food was embarrassingly awful and waiter couldn't add up and had to be told to bring plates for poppodums, would've scored 1 but giving extra point for band which was good fun. We booked based on good meal we had before but later learned it had changed hands...
Fabulous food and service . First time there for awhile .Have been going to the Jolly salior since the eighties love it always welcoming and cosy .
Bit of a trek to get there, but worth it for the setting right on the lock and weir - on a sunny Summer day you can’t beat it. A really comprehensive menu for a pub, including a mix of Indian and English dishes. Good hearty pub food at reasonable prices. Excellent.
The food was lovely and service great, only down side was there was several flies around. Apart from that it was excellent and staff were very welcoming and friendly.
Welcome excellent & food fine. Toilets not that clean & smelly. Tables sticky & conservatory windows in need of a good clean. With such a lovely location it is a shame the premises let the place down
Excellent food cooked fresh and in a beautiful setting and a wonderful service given. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I would recommend it to everyone.
An absolutely beautiful location right on the canal and lock with great fun staff and delectable food. The fish pie was so tasty and not a heavy creamy sauce. The curries are very flavoursome
I had a lovely time at the jolly sailor. Really nice settings and the food was nice will definitely be coming back for another visit.
Lovely food and very helpful staff. Each meal was delicious. Beautiful sat by the river on a lovely day. Took my family. definitely visit again.
Beautiful location, they seemed to be struggling at the bar with an average amount of people waiting for drinks and food and the food itself was very average, my lasagne was dry, won’t be rushing back for the food, but the view and location is perfect
We had a very delicious meal here on Sunday we sat inside to the surprise of waiter service as we had chose to sit inside this was a very nice touch the staff were very efficient & friendly their portion sizes are very big we couldn’t eat everything but loved what we did highly recommend can’t wait to go back
A very friendly pub great location right on the riverside very busy pub . Better to book on weekends to get a table .the food was verygood and we did not have to wait long for are first course and the main was delivered just as fast it was a good allround experience.
Lovely setting by lock, food delicious, staff lovely. Very busy so bit of a long que for bar and parking tricky. Would recommend and return.
Lovely Sunday roast by the river. The food was good and came out fast. The service was good and atmosphere lovely. I would recommend this location
Great venue, good food choice and friendly staff. Great atmosphere especially as weather so good and people enjoying the lovely outdoor facilities. Can get very crowded.
A very nice location by the weir and canal with hill views, Pleasant smiling staff and quick service would recommend and go back again :)
Food very good staff very friendly and helpful would recommend this venue for any family event. River side an added bonus made our visit for my husbands 70th birthday a great success with the bonus of the fabulous weather.
It was the first time I visited the pub and it will be the last the floor was dirty and the Windows and the table.
Excellent, friendly service. Food was high quality, and the servings were very generous. The menu was OK, with a bit of an emphasis on south Asian flavours and dishes. We will certainly be returning, but if the weather is nice, particularly at weekends, you will be wise to book.
Best Sunday roast for a very long time. Very attentive staff with fantastic service. Reasonable prices and a varied menu definitely worth going and we’ll definitely go back
Very good service and food was great lovely people would go there again and this site to book on here took 2mins and it was done very easy
We sat down in the conservatory at 12.22 for 12.30 and the staff were ready to take our order . We ordered two soup of the day and two drinks. I had a pint of ginger beer and my guest had a half pint of lemon and lime. We also ordered our main course ,I ordered the beef roast and my guest ordered the lamb . The drinks arrived swiftly , but I'im afraid the soup took 20 mins to arrive after first getting a tour of the garden , then returning to the kitchen and eventually our table , fortunately it was still hot . we then waited until almost 20 min past one for our main to arrive. The beef was plentyfull but stringy the veg overcooked and my guest on the way home said the lamb was tough and hard to cut. So summing up we were not impressed and will not be going back
IT was so busy and they don’t have enough a staff, Food was cold but place is amazing. People are waiting for food 1hour and more
Very disappointed. We booked a table for 4 people 2 weeks ago and whilst we were shown to our table promptly yesterday, it was quickly obvious that we had walked into complete chaos. The staff behind the bar were working really hard to serve drinks but the pace at which food was served from the kitchen was unacceptably slow. We waited almost 2 hours for food and one meal had to be returned as it was poor quality. It was quickly replaced but it should never have been served in the first place. We will not be returning.
Good choice of food. Excellent service. Food quality was great. Would definitely return. Next time we would like to return and sit outside enjoying the views.
Great food and great scenery! Service was really good and will definitely be visiting again. Would highly recommend the fish and chips, but our whole party enjoyed their food.
Was a pub full of youths being loud. People smoking weed in the car park. Bartenders didn't help us out for a table for a while and continued to serve people drinks so we left and went to the Riverside Inn which was far nicer
Really lovely. Excellent food and attentive staff. Will definitely go back Gain and recommend to others. Lots of choice on the menu and all of our food arrived together
We had a beautiful roast and lovely starter on Mother’s Day. It was great. We pre ordered as mother’s day is busy and the web site aloud this. So it arrived promptly and hot even when the pub was really busy. Thank you!
Great food, very warm welcome!!, just the actual pub could do with a good freshen up all round. Looks a tad run down. But wud happily go back.
Excellent meal and experience so very friendly, was very cold unless sitting in front of fire. Would go again despite this. The welcome was fantastic!
Food was absolutely delicious.. generous portions. Desserts delightful. Strong coffee. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Food was lovely roast beef lamb and pork all stunning. Good selection of veg and lots of gravey. Good service and lovely country pub will defiantly visit again
Lovely food (steak and fish pies were brimming with meat and flavour) served all day in a really nice pub with incredibly friendly staff and fabulous views. What more could you want?
