First time visiting nothing was a problem for Shaye she is the most amazing manager I have met and I have tested a few restaurants me and my family will be returning

I booked Breakfast with Santa for 16 children, the whole process I found so easy with all the staff so wanting help and make things a special event. Adults had breakfast or meals off the menu with drinks, Santa read a story and talked to the children and then at the end gave them a lovely present all age relevant for the children. Thank you so much we all had a lovely morning with you xx

Fantastic morning at the jolly fenman. Breakfast with Santa eventually. Made to feel welcome and service was fantastic, thank you to all involved

Oh my goodness what a lovely time the children had with Santa, thank you so much for a lovely , well thought out morning x

Good food, nice warm atmosphere

We had our Dad's wake here, and I must say the staff couldn't do enough for us, they made a very sad day into great family and friends get together

Excellent as always. Fantastic food and value

I recently spent an evening with friends at the Jolly Fenman. We had a lovely meal and was looked after by Shaye. Our chefs for the evening were Ellis and Dyneswari. The food was cooked perfectly. As a group we were very happy with our experience. Thank you.

Lovely meal, kids really enjoyed the BBQ meat sharing platter. Lovely friendly service from Anna, other staff were professional and pleasant

Booked our Christmas Girl's night out. We had a lovely evening, the food was good as was the service. A big thank you to Shaye, and the chefs Ellis and Dyneswari. We all had meals from the Christmas menu, which had a good choice, including veggie option. Can highly recommend a visit, will definitely be going back.

Shay was amazing and she gave us the best service!!! Would definitely come again because of her!!!

Shey was very good and would definitely return because of her.

Haven't been in here for years, but grand to see that the atmosphere is great as well as the service for food and beer. Excellent from the bar staff, Shaye.

Went on with my step children the youngest felt ill the staff were amazing especially shay and bev helped with every request I had, can't thank them enough for making the visit a lot easier for both myself and the kids, food was delicious and adjustments for diet was no issue, will be returning again

Very attentive staff, kept checking if everything was ok with food, if we needed more drinks etc. Banging playlist!

I really don’t know how a pub can serve food and be open when the gents toilets are leaking so bad you need welly boots and wipe your feet on the way out, the toilets have been leaking for months.

A very long wait to be served at the bar. Not enough staff on to cope with a busy time

First time in there, very pleasant. 👍

Friendly and welcoming staff highly recommend the chicken wings

The chicken tikka flatbread was lovely and the staff very friendly

Went down the Jolly Fenman for a few drinks after work, had a great time, special shoutout to Shaye, for all her help. Will definitely be coming back

Food is great quality and decently priced. Good atmosphere for the football. Easy to book a table and the staff are so friendly.

Waiting for my food over an hour, second time there,staff, food excellent.

Waited over 2 hours so far and still waiting. It isnt even busy 🙄 This is my 2nd vist to this pub, the first time was equally bad. There wont be a 3rd visit

Friendly staff and delicious food. Definitely gonna be back again

As always brilliant service and fantastic atmosphere…. Beverley always goes above and beyond ☺️

Always a lovely time with the family

Excellent and friendly service. Felt really well looked after. Lovely place with great food and drinks.

Great atmosphere, great food, great staff. Lovely and safe neighbourhood pub.

Unplanned lunch out with husband, mum & dad to celebrate my 65 birthday . Welcoming staff , although menu was uninspiring with vegetarian meals. Mum did have the tasty halloumi flatbread I did miss my favourite chicken Caesar salad 🥗 though .

Anna was very pleasant and helpful as is all the staff. We just had drinks and some ice cream.

Lovely place, nice garden area, friendly staff

Pleasant atmosphere, food good & inexpensive, service excellent

Great place live football and foods good 👍

Brilliant service throughout the whole event, thank you to all the staff and very pleasant

Great pub, good priced drinks, food was very nice Lovely atmosphere. Ollie was very helpful, we will definitely be back.

Fantastic afternoon spent with friends and family, dog friendly and lovely food. Deals galore and extremely friendly staff.

Service was brilliant. Made hot chocolates for our young boys adding cream and Mars bars. Felt like it was no trouble. Food was good and a BOGOF on burgers on Thursday. Definitely recommend.

Excellent service .Friendly staff . Food excellent . All in all a very pleasant visit . Will definitely become a regular visitor

Unfortunately there was a mix up on our food order but Shaye quickly rectified the problem in a very professional and pleasant way. The food was great value with a good atmosphere in the Pub.

Lovely place, great value for money, good food and service.

Lovely garden on a sunny afternoon and really nice food.

Come for the burger night buy one get one free on burgers on a Thursday excellent burgers best I've had in a long while very tasty and excellent value. Had a great evening with my 2 brothers. Anna was very helpful and gave us great service I highly recommend this pub to all local residents. Excellent food and a great atmosphere.

Really good all around, great service from the bar staff and tasty food. Anna was very polite and delivered exceptional service. Food came up quick and nothing was too much trouble for them. Was very reasonably priced too (under £20 for a double burger and a pint) Would highly recommend!!!!

Always extremely friendly and polite. Served by Anna who is excellent

Looking forward to our next visit, food was excellent freshly cooked cant fault it. Service friendly and quick ,thais was out 2nd visit and we will be back ...see you soon

Amazing food and outstanding service. 10/10 experience, definitely coming back.

Spur of the moment decision to have lunch in a local pub. To be honest, we've driven past many times and never thought to pay a visit but friends kept telling me what a nice place it is. We were greeted by welcoming staff member (Beverley). We received a very courteous service at the bar from the new manager Peter too. The food was tasty and hot and we didn't have to wait very long. It was lovely clean too and had a multitude of larger options. 100% will make this a regular place to visit and will tell my friends.

I recently visited Jolly Fenman, a pub that's quite unique in many ways. It’s a large venue with extensive outdoor space, including a garden, kids' zone, smoking area, and plenty of parking—features you don’t often find in pubs. The best part is their grills, which are fantastic, and the menu is vast, offering a wide variety of delicious options. I had a really great time, not just because of the food, but also because of the numerous gaming options available, like snooker and betting machines. Jolly Fenman truly offers something for everyone, making it a standout spot for a fun and enjoyable visit.

Birthday lunch for our Dad. Meals well priced , fresh & tasty . served by happy & helpful staff who were able to assist re allergies & menu choices . ( always important) .

Great service nice food and lovely pub

Great service, banging line up on the beer, cmonnn

Visited today for a family birthday lunch. A very warm welcome from the staff. Very helpful with allergen advice. All of the food arrived quickly and at the same time even though there were 9 of us. All of the food was very good and good portion sizes

Food was incredible with great atmosphere, customer service was fantastic, we were treated amazingly

A really lovely family meal for my dad's 87th birthday......very good food at extremely reasonable prices ....staff were excellent and couldn't do enough for us all ....thank you very much

Ok food and fairly priced. Music a little loud but bar staff happy to turn it down. Good atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff.

Very welcoming and polite staff. Food was very good can't complain.

As retired couples it can be difficult to find somewhere to meet up for lunch that is comfortable but also patient with us as older customers. The Jolly Fenman service is fantastic making us feel valued as customers. The food is wonderful. The ambience even for lunchtime is great and the price point perfect. We will make this a regular lunch spot.

Very friendly staff and food was amazing

All the staff and their service was great bev and her cousin and the manager especially enjoyed watching the euros there just a shame it didn't come home but will be back some time for sure

Nice pub, friendly staff and good choice of food. Nice selection of drinks also and fairly priced. Good outside area. I come here often.

Me and the missus decided to visit to eat and watch the euros. The food was high quality, tasty and quick to the table. The staff we had the delight to talk with (Anna and Shay) were very helpful, easy to talk with and quick with orders. 10/10 will be back again.

Great pub, great garden, great staff. Met the new general manager tonight and he was really welcoming. Slight mess up with the order but quickly fixed. Will be back.

My Grandson and I went here for dinner, the food was lovely, service was exceptional. Glad to know it is dog friendly. We will definitely be back soon.

Great pub! Amazing atmosphere… friendly staff.

Amazing food, outstanding service! Bar lady Bev found my lost work phone and calmed down a slight situation with some random trouble makers and I was truly impressed! Beautiful people! Defo be back again!

Absolute un real boozer Bevs a diamond pay her more now. Unlock the other toilet 👍

Fantastic food. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices.

It's our local pub, we come here often as a family. Lovely outside space, service is good, Bev especially is amazing! She is always chatty and friendly, very welcoming!

Always first class service from Bev. Lovely pub and recently done up the outside area.

Great pub with large outside undercover seating area, Staff are lovely and helpful food is good

Food tasted of cooking oil , onion rings soggy best bit was burger bun

Had my late brothers funeral here and it was very fitting ,friendly pub good food, nice pint and a spacious boozer

We came here for our end of university drinks, planning to spend the majority of the evening there however we were let down as the pub has changed to over 21s (even though we were here 2 weeks ago when its was not over 21s). We sat outside in the garden hoping to have a relaxed evening with drinks and food, however the young guy who served us came over and asked for our ID’s after serving us our drinks. At this point, we had all taken sips out of our drinks so there made no difference in us being there what so ever because we had already been served. We were then told the pub was over 21s and were told to come to the bar to return our drinks and to get refunds. We were standing at the bar for about 5 minutes waiting for our refunds. It was a lovely beer garden, and we would have love to spend the evening there and give them a lot of business. But we have had to relocate to other pubs in Eltham. We would love to come back when we are 21, however we do think you should have allowed us to finish our drinks that we had purchased. We are all of age. The young guy who served us was really lovely, however I am aware that he should have asked for ID at the point of serving. In addition, the manager (ginger lady who was abrupt when giving refunds) was sitting on a table next to the bar when we were being served. They should have come over and asked for our ID in the first place, instead of pouring our drinks allowing us to take them to our table and sit down starting to enjoy the evening.

We ordered the southern fried chicken flatbreads andi chicken wings. The chicken was so tough that it broke my tooth filling. Sadly the food is all frozen refried and poor preparation. The food doesn’t do justice to the great atmosphere of the place.

We go to the Jolly Fenman for lunch quite a lot now we are retired. The food is good and varied, loads of beer choice and the staff are always really nice

They said an hour wait for food which we was OK with... we made 2 separate orders paid for ours 1st and the other order came out first and they ate all there's before ours came out at this point we was still waiting for our drinks we had to go and ask for our drinks they only brang out 1 lot of drinks we went back and asked for our other drinks which they said we gave your drinks... even came to check the table to see if we had empty glasses for said drinks!! Ordered my daughter the roast and paid extra for the pigs in blankets for £3 something and 1 little pigs in blankets came 👀 I questioned it and they said they would bring it out another 45minutes passed still no pigs on blankets because we had been up a few times asking for our stuff we just left we had enough at this point! I get it, it was busy but we spent £120 for just 1 order and £100 for the other order for not that great service or food! It was my 1st time there and the last time!

Came along today with daughters to watch WSL match as advertised at front door that was showing today, match wasn't on but after 3 attempts they finally put it on one of the screens, Spent £60 on food and drink, very small portions on the platters, waited 50 minutes. People on next table were waiting over well over an hour, during the match they kept scrolling through the tv and at beginning of 2nd half they put a different match on. So we left to watch at home, will go elsewhere in future. Not sure why they advertise matches if they don't show them, The only reason I went was so my kids could watch it.

We was meeting up with my son's friend, so decided to pop into The Jolly Fenman , in Black Fen . This was my first visit to this pub , and I was pleasantly surprised. To start large free carpark, plenty of spaces. Inside the pub , nice and bright, and clean, lots of tables to sit , and drink, chat , or have a meal . We choose to have a pint , and played pool while we waited, we also ordered the Ultimate Feast to share , was very nice , fresh and hot , ample for two to share. Stayed about two hours, service was good , ( Served by a happy young lady Shaye , and nice gentleman Colin), food was good , enjoyed our pool game , and drinks , would definitely recommend a visit. Thank you Jolly Fenman.

Excellent service and food. Staff very friendly.

Good service, friendly and nice atmosphere

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Had no problem with our 4 yr old grandson being with us. Lovely to see.

Good value for money. Will return.

Quick service, good selection of usual ales. Food seemed popular. Layout very different than when I worked, drunk and played darts there 42 years ago! Steve

Nothing Jolly about this place when it comes to one of the young barmaids with red hair … spilt beer down me because she slammed it down so hard on the counter - disgusting!

We had a lovely meal here. Although there isn't much for vegans the food we did order was very nice. The staff were very warm and welcoming. Even the locals and regulars were nice and welcoming.

Food was very tasty, with a very wide range to choose from. The bar and garden are dog friendly, so that was great. Good sized carpark, which is very useful as I am not sure where we would have parked otherwise. The only downside is that there are screens everywhere, so if you are not keen on football or sport in general, you can not sit anywhere without being able to see it. On the plus side for some Newcastle won.

Came in here after a funeral . The food was amazing & such great prices. Car park on sight .

Had a lovely lunch here, deserts are fabulous.
