Jolly Sailor in Redcar and Cleveland

Certainly made my plate smile food was gorgeous 😍 Absolutely gorgeous food 😍

Fabulous food, staff very friendly and helpful, prices are also competitive with others in the area,highly recommend,dog friendly also so it's a win win .

I couldn’t fault the Jolly Sailor on this particular visit 6.10.24! Even though they were very busy our roast dinners came to the table on a ‘ hot’ plate & piping hot plenty of lovely hot Very hot vegetables & Lovely gravy! I actually felt that being Coeliac was no problem whatsoever. The staff were attentive Without being OTT! Therefore very many thanks to all the staff!

Lovely meals and the dog was made very welcome would definitely recommend.

Lovely food, great service. I've never been disappointed here.

Extremely poor service apart from an elderly waiter which was lovely. Haven’t been here in years, and dare say it will be many years before I return. Carvery’s were served to share, which didn’t make sense to those that payed for ‘go large’ opposed to those that ordered ‘regular’. My children didn’t eat at all and I had one chip off of my plate. We were a large group and was never made aware of the ‘no split bill’ policy. We were rudely made aware at the till upon paying.

Visiting the area for the weekend and this was an amazing traditional pub for Sunday lunch.. huge portion sizes, well cooked food. It absolutely hit the spot...

The Diane sauce was expensive but to die for. I'd go back just for that. Of the five tables with customers, three had dogs - there are even dog selections included on the menu! So yes to dog friendly. Busy when we arrived and short staffed (we were advised), asked if we were happy to wait 20mins - we were. It was only 10 minutes in the end. Worth waiting. Beautiful Cole slaw. Tons of parking spaces. Easy to miss the pub if not looking for it. The pub is nothing much to look at, bit tatty 8f anything but all we wanted was decent food - and we got it. Offered me container to put non-eaten food to take home. I had rump steak cooked to perfection , unusual as I like a blue steak and more often than not it comes overcooked, this was perfect if maybe a little tough but then rump can be, partner had large burger and it was very large. He ate it all and said it was good. It looked very good to me. Will definitely return

Great find on our week away! Dog friendly in the bar area, the staff were welcoming and the food was unreal!! Simple, homemade, local food. There is a small carpark and then road side parking, just off the A road so you can't miss it. Would 100% recommend and advise to pre-book a table to avoid disappointment.

Really great pub with lovely decor and friendly staff. I had the mac n cheese with bacon and my husband had lasagne both with garlic bread. Delicious and huge portions. Would definitely return.

Food was beautiful 😍 staff were welcoming and friendly, had sunday lunch which was really nice and plenty of it! Thanks 👍

Lovely little pub, stopped here for a quick break on a longer drive. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Amazing views from their outdoor area too. Dog friendly but beware there is a cat running about so good to have a short lead if your dogs aren't cat friendly.

Family get together 12 of us to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. . Chose here as it’s a lovely old country inn with bags of character. Beautiful food and good portion sizes. All food freshly cooked to a high standard and a great choice too. We would and will recommend to friends and return in the future. Thanks for a memorable experience..

Excellent service food absolutely gorgeous

Lovely food would advise to book first .had a bit of a wait.

Lovely food staff where amazing 🤩

Nice place for a meal and a drink. We were a group of 8 that turned up without booking on in the hope of a table. The staff were very pleasant and sorted out a table for us very quickly. It wasn't busy being a midafternoon weekday. The service was steady much to the annoyance of the four youngsters in our group (age range of 10-16 years) but understandably by the remaining four adults. A slight mix up with one starter was rectified without issue. Food all around was very good along with the service. No complaints whatsoever. Highly recommend.

Lovely food, we have been a few times now on a Monday night when they do 2 parmos for £20 , they are excellent 👍 great staff

Stopped for food on the way to scarborough. Very friendly staff, great menu, excellent choice of beers and drinks and superb food. 10/10

Come every year in our motorhome. Excellent food, good welcome, quiet night's sleep in the car park.

Called in on way heading home as an off chance for Sunday Lunch have to say staff very friendly we had a table close to the door but I ask if we could move not a problem at all great value for money traditional sunday roast plenty veg served nothing frozen at all defo all home made even the yorkshires guess this explained why the car park was full how good it is defo worth a visit

Lovely country pub with good food and friendly staff.

Sunday lunch, family of 5 (plus a dog). Sat outside. All had Sunday roasts (Beef, Turkey and Lamb). Good size portions, well cooked meat and enough veg to feed 10! Not pretentious, like some other pubs in North Yorkshire, friendly staff and good value. Would recommend.

The menu offered no surprises, just the classics: both the fish & chips and the rump steak were excellently prepared and presented. Nice restaurant and beautiful garden, friendly service.

Really special place - bt Dont drive too fast 'cos you'll miss it!Absolutely Loved it - awesome menu, food cooked beautifully to order - Great service. Good prices. Couldn't fault it. Wud go again and again. - july 2024 has changed hands & menu Is not as gud anymore - very basic

Truly one of the best pub meals we have ever had. I had the 12oz Rump Steak and my wife had the gammon which were both perfectly cooked and really good portions. And the chips were proper, hand cut and cooked to perfection. Plus a very friendly host and staff. A couple of pints of Madri to wash it all down. To top it off, we stayed on the car park in our camper for free! Highly, highly recommended if you are in the area.

The Food is so delicious. The Service very friendly. I hope i will come again in our next holiday

The food is average. We had potato skins they weren't very crispy and when slightly squeezed oil oozed out, the garlic sauce did not taste of garlic. My partner had a chicken breast in cheese and bacon sauce the breast was very small and could hardly be seen under the sauce it was probably about half a breast. My dish was a vegetable pasta bake. The pasta was overcooked and the sauce tastes. The menu was very limited for vegetarians. We ate here a couple of weeks ago and the food was nice so we returned but after our most recent experience we won't return.

I hadn't had the chance to dine here for many years so it was great to revisit and see that the old character and charm has been retained

Perfect Parmo and amazing home made chips! Lovely friendly pub, excellent service. Great atmosphere, and a superb Guinness.

Just stopped off to stretch our legs and ended up getting some food which was delicious. Had three courses which is some of the best food I’ve eaten in a while even the side salad made you want to eat it

Absolutely fantastic every time I go! I got lucky with them having 2 x Parmos for £20 which were absolutely fantastic! I’ll be back time and time again ☺️

Amazing hideout in Moor road, Whitby, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, We stopped by on our way to Hull from Newcastle. Loved the little cottage ambience and authentic food they served by friendly staff! Very reasonable prices and got surprised 4 real coffees for 11 pounds! Parking is available by the farmland next to buy road and can get bit busy depending on the time of the day.

Fantastic food and views staff amazing what more do you want. Can't wait for our next trip.

Lovely little pub out of the way for some but perfect for our holiday visit very friendly staff good food very clean

Friendly and welcoming. Food delicious and good selection of beers. Excellent plat area for kids

We called in yesterday for a meal. I had the chicken Mac and cheese. It was ginormous and would probably feed 3 people. Garlic bread was lovely too. I couldn’t eat it all so took a lot of it home for later. My wife had a pie which she said was lovely. I would definitely recommend. The only thing that stood out to me was the toilet cubicles are so small that you have to squeeze around the door to get in. Not very good for the larger person but they are nice and clean and toiletries are provided.

Really lovely pub in stunning countryside. Lovely atmosphere. Staff was really helpful and friendly. Food was absolutely amazing and was really reasonable as well

Superb food service and atmosphere. We went 4 times in the week we spent in the area.

Fabulous meal , I had scampi and home made chips . Lovely staff , highly recommend this place .

Been for lots off meals and never had a bad meal staff are always really nice and polite as well would recommend to anyone

Me and my partner went to the jolly sailor first time we have been and we really enjoyed it the food was lovely staff were so helpful and friendly definitely be going again lovely welcoming pub.

There was a gun night on down the lane. Bar staff rushed off their feet. I had Hunters chicken. I've ever had. & l had the lime meringue for dessert with cream very tasty.

Wonderful food and plenty off it. We'll work a visit

Two new girls who served us were great, that’s as good as it gets. Place was empty, but we still waited an hour for our food to be served. Quality was not great. Worst burger I’ve had, and fish way over cooked. Only decent part was the chips! Staff behind bar not too friendly either. Couldn’t say I’d recommend, sorry.

Thought we would give The Jolly Sailors another visit as the last Sunday lunch visit was a disaster, in fact embarrassing the lack of food we received. So, today we all ordered Sunday lunch and yet again the portions of vegetables were minimal to say the least. We all had less than half a desert spoon of each vegetable each, disgraceful when you’re looking forward to a nice meal and it wasn’t cheap. If I hadn’t been with family I would have complained on the spot, I didn’t as they would have been embarrassed. So annoyed. Shame on the management 🤬🤬😡😡

We had sweet and sour chicken whi ch was horrible and fried too much resulting into it being greasy batter. And no one came inbetween eating a nd asked if everything was ok. Seemed as though we were not there. Usually we give £5 top but not this time and we will not be back here again. Cooks clean your oil .

The food was delicious,the best chips I have tasted in years. My friend had mince and dumplings and my wife had macaroni cheese,both delicious but too large a portion. Waitress was on her own ,so they were clearly short staffed.

Nice evening. Staff very friendly and food lovely.

Staff are the best beautiful food

Nice place. Food absolutely superb. Doggy Friendly. Great staff. My wife had Fish and Chips (Haddock). I had Thai Fillet Beef with Vegetables I. Superb gravy like sauce. The chips are excellent and of course home made.

Having been to the Jolly Sailor on many occasions I was very much looking forward to my birthday meal out. However we were very disappointed. We arrived for our table at 6.45pm a little early and we're greeted with a surly barman who asked if we booked then grunted that we go sit "over there somewhere" til he could get to us. No smile, no hello. No offer if drinks.....we sat and waited for 5 minutes before being brought menu's and then asked if we would like drinks. the pub had a few tables in seated already, but I've seen it much busier in the past. Another ten minutes went by and our monosyllabic waitress came, took the order, no smile, nothing. We ordered 3 main meals and waited and waited and waited...I have no qualms with waiting for fresh food. Indeed it says in the menu there may be a delay. BUT 1hr and 25 minutes for 2 premade Mac and cheese and a "pie" and chips is just taking the Mick! There was no apology, no explanation. The food was adequate, tho not worth the £14.95 for a bowl of gravy with a few bits of meat in and a puff pastry lid (doesn't constitute a pie in my opinion)! By the time the food arrived we were so ravenous, we ate was brought us for the most part. The "drive by" "Everything ok?" From the waitress who didn't even stop as she walked past our table was laughable. I hasten to add we didn't bother with dessert as I wanted to make it home before my next birthday arrived! Not a patch on how it was in the past VERY disappointing and won't be returning. Training in hospitality and manners would benefit this place.

This is the second time we’ve eaten here to celebrate a birthday of one of our grandchildren and again it was very good. The food was very tasty and all the portions were more than enough - none of us (child or adult) manged to eat all our meals. Drinks and food orders were taken quickly and while there was a bit of a delay waiting for the food it was worth it as it was clearly freshly cooked. The staff were friendly and attentive. I’m sure if we stayed closer we would visit more often.

Went for Sunday lunch, found this pub by accident but glad we did. The food was lovely

Excellent value for money, first class service and the pork parmesan was Phenomenal highly recommend

First can I say that the last 3 reviews bear no resemblance whatsoever to the Jolly Sailor that we have visited three times in the last week. Our first visit was Friday lunchtime. We were spending a week in a rented cottage nearby and had arrived too early to be able to get in so went in search of sustenance. This pub stands alone on the road across the moors but when we pulled in the car park was full which is always a good sign. We were greeted by the friendliest barman we have met in a long time (hiya Paul) and managed to get the table in front of the log fire. Hubby decided on a steak and I chose the scampi and after a short wait because everything is cooked to order we tucked in. Food was beautifully presented and certainly piping hot. The steak was cooked exactly how hubby likes it. Bar started to thin out a bit so we had chance to chat to Paul. When he found out we were going to be in the area all week he recommended the Jolly Sailors Sunday lunch so we booked there and then. Sunday lunch turned out to be probably one of the best dine out Sunday lunches we have had in a long time. We both chose the roast pork which came out ready plated with a Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. We were then given 2 tureens containing 5 different veg for the 2 of us! Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. £16.95 a head for a standard plate, other sizes available. We did call back on our last day for lunch again and the standards were just as high as on our first visit. Would have no hesitation in recommending the Jolly Sailor to anyone who needs feeding while in the area

Great pub. The inferno burger was superb

Nice meal, wouldn't change anything except a waiter started to clear our plates while 1 was still eating. So felt rushed

DISGUSTING..Had the parmo , absolutely swimming in grease, the chicken was chicken strips the béchamel was grey and mixed into the greasy breadcrumbs after waiting 40 minutes to say we were disappointed is an understatement

This place is absolute gobshite. Literally. The food is dry as anything, and the atmosphere was pathetic. Do not recommend.

Excellent quality food and beer. Service was very friendly and efficient. Well worth a visit... definitely will return... worth all 5stars....

Nice enough pub food but the building is very cold.

Just moved to Saltburn and finding gluten free for me is always hard work. Someone suggested The Jolly Sailor and we've been twice now. A few good options for me. The staff understand about gluten intolerance, there's a proper chef, the food both times has been great. This place is only a short drive for us, feel I've found a belter of an establishment to enjoy proper well cooked food at ok prices. Good portion size. Staff friendly. Cosy old building. Sure I will be in again soon. 😊

Our first visit today for Sunday lunch and won’t be our last! Delicious home cooked food, lovely and fresh.the staff were brilliant too! Highly recommend a try!!

Fantastic pub good beer and food Fantastic rural location friendly staff I highly highly recommend 👌 👍

Food is always lovely here, good choice, homemade and decent price.

Good portions of typical pub Sunday dinner, cooked well and not dried out. Waiting staff didn't really know what beers they had on or if they had mustard (bless 'em) but we didn't have to wait long for drinks or food so it did the trick for us today.

Good food, great service, reasonable prices and a really nice place. Very good portion sizes too. One of the best Sunday lunches I've had out. Will definitely be back

A lovely dog friendly cosy pub. Food was really good, make sure you are hungry as the portions are big! Staff were friendly and service good.

Lovely food and a special thankyou my dad is disabled and was accommodated very well even cooked him something off the menu because e couldn't eat anything else the waiting staff were fantastic thankyou xxx

Gone completely down hill, very poor food, all 6 of us said we would never return having dined there many times before. The food is simply not up to a good standard at all. I was refused a child’s meal with no explanation why. I should have said I was identifying as a child and see what they said then. Zero atmosphere, expensive for poor quality food.

We have been going here for more than seven years and yet to have bad experience it's not cheap but you do get what you pay for . Oh and they have no custard . ( unless it's the winter menu ) A long running joke I have with them 😀

Gorgeous lunch but roasties were undercooked not crisp brown.

First time having Sunday dinner! Absolutely gorgeous massive portion loads of veg. Lovely staff defo be bk and highly recommend. 👍

Although we could've gone inside to eat we stayed outside in the courtyard as we were talking to fellow campervanners. Sadly there's no real differention outside for smoking areas of not and so our lovely homemade food experience was ruined a little due to smoke. Its,a shame people don't respect areas and are happy to throw cigarette ends on the floor especially when we had a dog wanting to lie down. The pub is vast inside , really old 17th century. Staff polite and helpful food amazing. A good BritStop find. Maybe move smoking area right away from food areas outside please. Recommended

We stayed in with brit stop, got here at 3.30 ish, full choice of menu. Food was delicious and staff so friendly.

Very good food and service. Highly recommended

A lonely rural pub by the Moors Road between Guisborough and Whitby, on the edge of the North York Moors. Some real ales and a decent Aspal's cider as well as the obvious products. The meals look good, but I have not tried them yet. This pub is served by buses 93 (Middlesbrough, Guisborough, Whitby & Scarborough) and 1 and 2 (Saltburn and Loftus) so it makes a very good spot to end a hike over the moors, where you can get in a pint or two before catching the bus back to normal life. Bus travellers, do not be put off by the absence of an actual bus stop sign - the buses do stop here, just be visible and wave at them, or tell the driver to let you off.

We popped in early evening and the pub traditionally decorated and furnished was throbbing. I had hunters chicken, chips and salad. It was first class and cooked exactly as I like it. I do recommend giving this at try. The chips we’re home made and delicious and the nice salad made it healthy food! The draught beer was fresh My partner had chicken burger and chips and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff were courteous, prompt and attentive.

Great pub, service was excellent, food was very good indeed. On my first review I said the food was bland, but now there has been such an improvement I would give top marks. Well done Jolly Sailor. The prices were very reasinable too.

We came today 3rd Sept 2023 ,had an amazing Sunday lunch my partner had the pork I had the turkey come with lovely veg & mushy peas I was well chuffed .The staff were friendly & attentive & always clearing tables when people left it was a smashing first time being here but not our last well Done the jolly sailor.

Had a meal as a family of 8. Very friendly and happy staff in this lovely pub. Meals came out at more or less the same time. My meal was a disappointment, I had smoked trout which I found to be very dry and not to my liking, my husband had half a chicken which he said was very dry. All the other meals were lovely so I guess we were just unlucky. When asked if all was ok with the food, I said that I did not eat the fish as it was not to my liking they said I should have said and they would have got me something else. I did say not to worry as I didn't like the taste of the fish so not really there fault entirely. All in all a lovely pub with lovely staff and mostly lovely food. Also this is a dog friendly pub.

Lovely friendly staff - very attentive despite been busy. Good selection of food on the menu - food tasty and hot. Good value for money

Booked a table for evening meal for 3 of us and a well behaved dog. Seated in the bar area which was fine, the restaurant area looked very busy but soon emptied out as we arrived a bit later. Can’t fault the meals, extremely large portions and the most amazing onion rings. HOWEVER, what ruined it for us was the atmosphere , 2 different staff members served us, now I can’t say they were rude, but they were just mono syllabic , spoke when they had to and didn’t make us feel at all welcome…..not at all what you’d expect working in the hospitality industry. We ate and got out as quick as we could without looking at the pudding menu. I can only assume they’d had a bad day as the other reviews seem very positive , but I certainly would not return!

We arrived hoping to get something to eat and park for the night. The staff were very helpful. They were busy and asked if we were prepared to wait 45 mins. That wasn't a problem as we were tied and hungry. 45 mins and the waitress arrived to take our orders. We didn't have to wait long for our food and the food was excellent accompanied by some good beer. We parked on the road as the car park was full. We had a good night's sleep. There was some traffic noise. Well done to all at the Jolly Sailor.

Chips were not good,my chicken was too dry.

Very nice food, generous portions. Service was disappointing. Female server was great, although male was poor. No personality and not welcoming.

Big portions. Great quality local cooked food from an extensive menu. Great prices. Just let down my drink quality, which needs upping.

So gutted. This used to be such a lovely place to eat. Now, the decor is tacky and the food was very bland. I'm afraid we won't be back ☹️

Rang jolly sailor on the off chance of Sunday lunch, were told to just turn up , five of us were seated quickly and ordered our drinks , We all opted for Sunday roasts, two standard and three small, the portions were excellent with plenty of meat,(pork, beef, turkey ) loads of gravy and generous helpings of veg. Lovely pub will deffo be trying again for the steak night.

My family have been great fans of this pub for many years going back to 1930 when my grandpa used to come here on his motor bike. We have always found it to be superb service and excellent quality food coupled with good and friendly service too. The location on the Moor Road makes it an ideal stopping place away from the hussle and bussle of busy towns. We would definitly recommend it

We had some drinks here tonight, felt really welcomed, and the atmosphere was really nice. Everyone was enjoying their evening, there was some nice music not too loud, and the staff was as kind as possible. Definitely would recommend. They do let you stay at the car park if you bought something, which is nice when living in a campervan !

Never EVER again. Staff could do with some customer service training. In fact they should just learn how to speak to people with respect. Rude beyond words.

Great, hearty food, huge portions, reasonably priced

Huge Sunday roast dinner. Cracking pub and very reasonable. Don't tell everyone!

I don't really know what to say about "the Jolly sailor", it didn't quite float my boat, ( no pun intended ), I couldn't put my finger on why or why not ? The menu has improved in it's description of choices since my first visit, i.e. the home made steak pie, is now listed as having just a pastry lid.( on a bowl of steak ). I'd go again, timely delivery and service was fine. I've drawn a bit of a blank but hope its helps.

Popped in for dinner this week, was really impressed with the food, good portion sizes and amazing onion rings! However, what let it down and made us not want to stay for long or return again, was the atmosphere. The staff were polite but not friendly, only spoke when they had to, didn’t check to see if food was ok or we had everything, had to get up and go to the bar to ask for condiments. Didn’t make us feel very welcome, can only think they must’ve had a bad day cos the other reviews seem good!

I've been coming here 40 plus yrs & they have always had Friendly staff, GREAT FOOD by DALE FRAZER & the Sunday lunches are beautiful, the meat is so moist & always more than you can eat, Attentive when asking for something, Lovely View as it is on the Moor Road between Guisborough & Whitby. WELL, WORTH GOING IF YOU ONLY WANT A DRINK OR JUST A MEAL OR BOTH. It also has a play park for the kids, so you can sit & relax while they play. I will keep coming here for the next 40 plus yrs, as we like it so much 10/10.

Food fantastic, staff superb 👌 great pub.

Loved it. Good food, good beer, great hosts. Made to feel totally welcome 😁
