Jolly brewer in South Kesteven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Pleasant enough. Was a quick stop. Friendly barmaid.

This was one of my local haunts when living in Stamford and I called in for the first time in around 5 years when visiting the town. It's still the great little pub it always was and serves a great pint of real ale.

Nice pub and staff are really friendly. Worth going in for a more reasonable priced drink in Stamford

Very nice place to have a pint or two and good food

Staff there have changed and are now really nice and friendly

Heard that the Jolly Brewer was under new ownership after a period in the doldrums. We visited for lunch and a few beers and we weren't disappointed. Lovely friendly service, good beer and simple reasonably priced food. Four real ales including Oakham JHB which went down a treat. The outside seating although a little low for our aging limbs was great in the May sunshine.

Visiting Stamford for the night. Stumbled on this gem of a pub! Real ale, real service and friendly locals.

With new ownership, the Brewer has become a more popular pub again with reasonably priced drink and food. The roasts are fantastic 👍

We were there on a 6 nations Saturday. The atmosphere was great and plenty of banter. The lady behind the bar was attentive and efficient even though it was very busy. And the burger was really good. Good beer, good food , good service and good atmosphere!.... Good pub.

Rejuvenated once again, good selection of beers, great service and a good looking simple pub food menu, yet to try the food, but the beer was back to previous standards

A pleasant community pub, couple of real ales,

Not what it was but still worth a stop in on the way to the centre

Admittedly, I haven't been here in years. I knew it had been taken over. I had passed several times and saw an offer for food at lunchtime, 2 meals, 4 £12 (bargain). Well, I can honestly say the food was lovely. The fries were gorgeous, the quiche was less quiche and more scrambled egg in pastry with a few bits of ham thrown in (I know that's a quchie), but somehow it worked. There was a roast dinner on the offer too, but considering we went on a Friday lunchtime, there were only 3 people in the pub!!! The landlord wasn't friendly and just hovered by you until you gave your order. There was no talking to the other 3 customers, no banter. In fact, it was THAT quiet. You dare not speak. The landlord was just walking up and down the bar, watching every customer. Felt very uncomfortable. There were no lights on either, I understand saving energy and well done. However, it's a dark pub with small windows. A lick of paint would go far and lighten it up. Also recommended changing the mop head when washing the floors. There is a very unpleasant smell that sticks to every inch of the pub. Was so pleased to get outside and have fresh air. Would i go back? Yes, for the food, but would be sat outside. It's certainly not the pub, it used to be unfortunately.

A traditional pub, with a dartboard and pool table, a good selection of beers

Not been in for a couple of years but could tell it had changed hands as soon as we walked in. Just one person behind the bar at 6pm on a Friday night so a bit of a wait to get served. Fewer (3) beers on tap than there used to be but the beer we did have was in perfect condition.

Lovely pub with great beer garden that gets the sun even in the autumn

Nice little pub and pool table not bad place at all

Great selection of real ales, which are looked after well.

Very good range of local beers. Sport on big screens indoor and plenty of seating outdoors.

Comfortable pub with nice relaxing atmosphere. Selection of real ales. Meal offers available at certain times but can't comment on the food as I only went for a pint. Went there twice.

Good lunch time pub grub (veggie and vegan options). Good real ales.... and BT Sport, if you are that way inclined.

Superb pub on the corner, outside seating, easy parking, great landlord and a brilliant pool table. Open all day! Highly recommend a pint in here❤💯

Clean well kept bar, decent selection of lagers and ales

Great atmosphere and great range of beers.

Excellent! Friendly welcome, superbly kept beers, very smart and tidy.

Still an excellent pub. Friendly welcome and superbly kept beers. Haven't been since lockdown, and I believe the management has changed, but it feels just the same.

Great place, great staff, great food

Nice pub with good quality ales

Lonely place and the staff are friendly and very accommodating.

Best post lockdown beers! Decent menu and great staff.

Still an excellent range of beers served by friendly helpful staff, please support a pub doing the best it can in these difficult times🙂

Great beers and amazing staff always helpful. Best pub in Stamford!!

Ordered the portobello mushroom and halloumi burger and was blown away! Local real ales were top. Overall a wonderfully warm post lockdown experience. All seem to follow regs carefully with one way system mapped out, making you feel at ease. Most definitely worth a visit. :)

Friendly and very good atmosphere. Typical local pub.

Good food good place to watch six nations rugby.

Excellent beer, friendly staff/customer's. What more do you want!

The best Sunday dinner in the area. Value for money. Been there many times and still as good. We will keep going back.

Very much Stamford local, nice atmosphere.

Excellent choice of micro beers. Good food and lovely hosts Jill and Dean

Great pint of Jaipur. nice cosey fire.

Omg we ventured out in storm Ciara and found this little gem. Had without a doubt the very best roast dinner weve had in a long time. Staff were amazing and the locals made us very welcome. Will definitely be back

Ales a plenty. Town pub grub typical

The jolly brewer is the go to place in Stamford. Pool table, good choice of ales, good locally sourced simple but lovely food. Darts, dominoes, push penny etc generally a nice crowd in, warm with a fire- best proper pub in town.

We use this pub for the rugby as it is a great atmosphere, good beers, friendly locals and staff. Had a roast today for the first time and can't believe we haven't done this before! A tenner for good old fashioned home cooked grub. Just what you need to console yourself from a poor show by england in first half!

Lovely little stop for us on route to a sporting event, friendly locals, lovely food, nice atmosphere

Visited today for Sunday Lunch well worth a visit lamb was amazing and the beef was perfect. Real ales to wash it down with. Highly recommend.

Friendly pub with a good selection of beers and wines. Good for sport watching or sitting outside on a sunny day.

Great place to sit both inside or outside weather permitting and enjoy a drink. Friendly staff and punters. They do food which looked very goodv and the prices very reasonable. Its a bit out of town but worth the short walk.

Visited for a quick lunch. The food is simple but very well done. Quite probably the best chips I've ever had. Great selection of beers and, although I hate to say it as I was in the trade many years ago, the best kept beer (Oakham JHB) I've had. Rumour was going round of a change of ownership. I hope it was just a rumour.

For beer quality, general banter and low key atmosphere, this place is just about perfect. Excellent and ever changing selection of ales, mainly local ones, food runs to crisps and the odd bar snack.

A really friendly "town" pub where locals go. Very good range of beers from a variety of brewers, and cider too. We were very impressed with the local "cloudy beer" has a great aftertaste and also the rhubarb cider was surprisingly fresh and delicious. A very friendly landlady who knows her beers as well. An excellent place, if you like good beer, you'd best come here!

We traipsed around every pub in Stamford looking for a decent range of cask ale. This was our last port of call. A friendly local started chatting to us about the pubs, etc., and we tasted a few beers and made our choice. We returned later in the week even though the pub was across the other side of town. Knowledgeable bar staff. Recommended.

Whilst not the cheapest Pub in Stamford the little extra you pay is far worth it. Quality home Ales that varies according to the season and quality beers. I asked for a try of 4 beers before finding my favourite.

this is a friendly pub just near waitrose, and a short walk into town. Parking as a bit challenging on a Sunday evening, but ok. lots of TV's so if you want to watch the sport and have a drink this is the place for you - we used it to meet in before walking into town for an indian

Went as part of a pub crawl around Stamford, and was the probably best pub among the strong competition in Stamford. Short walk away from the city centre, you'll find a large selection of ales and friendly service. Always have Brewsters on tap.

Visited this pub quite a while ago before I came to Stamford to live. Since moving here over 8 years ago I have been a few times with mates and family. I also go to their Beer festival and love the choices of beer. This pub is rather small but has a front beer garden which always has plenty of people. The service is as you would expect and its a well kept pub with their beers well looked after. This is what you would call a little gem and a must visit if your in Stamford anytime.

Last stop on the "Wot No Little Sharpie" monthly tour of nationwide real ale high spots. Voted four out of five pubs we visited on the day. Friendly knowledgable staff. Nice range of beers.

Absolutely brilliant town public house Excellent real ales and draught beers. 1st class home cooked food to cater for all The Best beer and pub in Stamford a must visit

This is a delightful 'no frills' pub with huge and very tasty burgers as their speciality. The staff are chatty and kind, whilst the atmosphere is fun. We had a chicken burger, which was really two generous portions of chicken breast, and a second 'special of the day', a yummy pork and choritzo burger. Both were large and enjoyable. Worth a visit.

It’s a little walk out of Stamford center, but not far - and in case TA hasn’t moved the pin, it is on Foundry a Road, about five minutes away from the center).

Personally I don't find pubs all that exciting. As someone who is unable to drink alcholic drinks, I usually find the whole experience a bit hollow. Not anyone's fault but my own, but still I don't really get much out of them. However one of my favourite places to go on a Sunday evening is this place.

My husband wanted to visit due to a CAMRA recommendation. We both enjoyed our visits. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and my husband loved the beer choices. We picked up some beermats for a friend who is a serious collector, and some pump clips which were no longer wanted. There's outside seating and parking. Well recommended.

This pub has for the second time won CAMRA pub of the year for the Peterborough District and for a good reason. They have an excellent range of real ales on tap from local beers to beers from Lancashire and Yorkshire but the owner has a micro-brewery in Ketton called Bakers Dozen. We had his new American Brown Ale today and it was as close of beer perfection as anything I can imagine. We're looking forward to going back and trying more of his beers. We were only here for the beer so I can't review the food this time. I'll do that in 3 months.

Friendly, welcoming, proper local. Good beer, great pub grub (amazing chips!) and run by a landlord/landlady with real flair and energy. Oh, and the best pub quiz in town.

Very popular no frills pub. Well priced drinks and fantastic value food. Good mix of locals and young faces in the crowd. The bar staff are very attractive too.
