Jolly Sailor Inn in East Riding of Yorkshire

The menu that is shown is no longer available since the pub has H ' changed hands. It was very disappointing as we went a celebration . The place was very cold and was told to sit near a radiator which then went cold.

Great food, friendly service, good value. We have always found the owner, her son and staff to be very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. The food is always served piping hot and delicious. It's also a bonus for us that they are dog friendly. Louie loves visiting The Jolly. Looking forward to trying a weekend cooked breakfast soon.

Went for a night stop over whist visiting family . Unfortunately it wasn’t what we expected . It had no facilities in the room ie, no tea or coffee , water still in kettle from previous person god knows how long it was before us, only hand towels available until we’d asked a couple of times for more.Felt intimidated as if we were an inconvenience and not welcome by landlady and regulars No information about checkout and where to leave keys . Overall inadequate communication and facilities. Had a meal there which was nice tbh but not exceptional and had to wait ages for it not the best of experiences Will not be returning

We went for Sunday dinner today and it was really good. Lovely atmosphere, nice decor, clean, fresh and friendly pub.

As the pub has recently changed hands we thought we would try a mid day meal. We chose the scampi which proved to be a good choice. The portions were very generous and the food delicious. To paraphrase Arnold Schwarzenegger "We'll be back"

Best steak pie ever will definitely have it again.........pastry perfect in taste and looks.....the steak melted in your mouth and perfect gravy ....I can see why its classed as award winning thank you for a gorgeous meal.

Highly recommend the fish & chips WOW never knew that they could taste this good, had it on the specials board, fantastic value, fantastic taste would definitely & highly recommend BOOM 💥

I was travelling through the area with a friend and we called in for a pint and lunch. We both chose the steak and mushroom pie, chips and veg. We had not been waiting long when the food arrived, it was a large individual pie, loads of chips and individual tureen with vegetables. The Landlady returned after a few minutes with seperate extra gravy boats each. The pie was stuffed full of lean tasty meat, mushrooms mingled in, one of the best I have ever had! Well cooked chips and vegetables, a real feast. Both Landlord and Landlady made us welcome and asked a couple of times if all was alright, no problems there, really great food. Guinness is spot on too!

The pub is on main road through the village, but on a night easy to miss. With covid restrictions we booked for early meal, glad I'd not eaten much during the day, the portion sizes are very generous. I had the steak pie, lovely pastry, well filled with meat, which was tender and mushrooms, lovely gravy. Option of veg or chips. My wife had the scampy, plenty on her plate. Friends had the cumberland sausage and the fish pie both looked very nice. With drinks about £25 per couple. Only managed a main course each. Very friendly and attentive staff, nothing too much trouble. Will be back!

The food choice was very poor, I wanted a mixed grill but it was Tipp-Ex out on the menu?! in fact a lot of the food on the menu appeared Tripp-Ex out! Chose the madras in the end, it tasted like a microwave curry meal from a bargain food shop! The lighting in the restaurant was very dark and very poor decor! But its Lucky that most people do not stay in Newport in the East Riding of Yorkshire! If you do, just have a drink in the jolly sailor, but avoid the food

Friend and I had 2 rooms for a 2 night stay over Easter whilst visiting friends in Newport. Lovely well appointed en suite rooms, very comfy bed! Lots teas, coffees and biccies in rooms! Nice hot power shower. Lovely hosts very accommodating - let us choose our breakfast times! Breakfast itself was superb - basically anything you want and all cooked fresh to order.I'd def stay again and the meals looked fab that we saw served. 5 STARS!

A colleague retired last week and we arranged a bit of a 'do' at Jolly Sailor. The staff were great, put up all the banners and balloons up that I dumped on them the night before and put on a great buffet. Many thanks, Jane loved her send off.

Visited with daughter and grandchildren for daughters birthday, always very welcoming staff and excellent food

The tasty food is always served piping hot and to a high home cooked standard. The menu is varied with something for everyone's taste at a sensible price.

A Monday night and what to eat. A quick trip here was perfect. Great food, although never order a starter as the mains are so generous you won't get through them. Real value for money and would highly recommend it

Went to the jolly sailor tonight for a family meal. We all had different meals and when they came the were piping hot plenty of it too. Brilliant home cooked food and lovely staff to boot thoroughly recommend going for some good scram.

Not many places serve home cooked food anymore. This is a true winner for us and have been many times. The service is excellent and always a warm welcome.

we had been recommend this night, and we finally had chance to visit. nice quite small bit more old school pub. we ordered fish and chips 2 of us had the large one the regular. they are huge fish! even if you don't get the large! i would honestly say the fish was better then virtually any i have had a "chippy" we also had a dessert..only as we were being very greedy!. we will visit again for sure as its such a good place and great quality.

Really nice pub serving great food & plentiful..you'll leave knowing you eaten well & for a good price as well..good location with good parking..nice selection of beers served by some love staff..

Arrived for pre booked table, no time wasted friendly swift bar team. Good offerings of hand pump beers. Food was good, if I was picky steaks wee a lithe dry, however portions were large and no one left hungry. If you could offer an improved wine list I think it would enhance the food, the wine we had was of s good standard. All enjoyed the the food and happy staff.

Very good steaks jalapino who just wanted a free meal was out of order never had a bad meal in there always clean and tidy with respectable staff not the first time he has complained he is always after a free meal Even though he has eaten it all

we have been regular customers here for nearly 20 years. we had a steak and salad. asked for steak medium to well done. steak was rate to medium. staff reheated steak and sauces not given fresh steak? steak was not hot( diane sauce was white and runny? in 20 years never had anything but praises. but now if this perticular "chef" is cooking stay well away? he cooked the steak twice and still couldn.t get it right?

Excellent food, good portion size . I would challenge anyone to leave hungry after eating here. Good quality good, friendly staff. Good to be able to go back and know with confidence you will be satisfied.

This was the first time we had been and it certainly will not be the last. You cannot fault the food, service, & value for money and the portions are huge!! Not one complaint from us.

very nice food at great prices good ales and huge portions. try the jumbo haddock its frightening. in the centre of Newport village

Cant fault the food and drink, everything very well presented and portions wont leave you hungry. Nothing was too much trouble and they were on hand to make sure you were never waiting for anything.

Stopped for two nights 18/19 August it's looks like a standard drinking pub the accommodation is basic a bit dated but clean but comfy.but the food is outstanding Fri is steak night we had a brilliant prawn cocktail it was large,followed by rib eye steak cooked too perfection you won't go out hungry.

We dropped in again without booking at lunchtime to mark my wife's 81st birthday as we were staying in the village for three nights. As usual the meals were large, freshly cooked and very enjoyable. Time was spent with the landlord and his wife to renew old acquaintances.

Eaten here for many years and food has always been good, fine selection of beers too. The portions are always more than ample even for the most heartiest of diners but quality is never compromised. recently a new chef has been taken on and I can say that you will not be disappointed. Dare I say one of the best value for money places you can eat in East Yorkshire.

Had a lovely 12oz Haddock Chips and Mushy Peas very hot food staff were very nice and friendly very good choice on the menu the décor could do with brightening up a bit looks a bit drab enjoyed it that much going back one Saturday night with friends worth a trip out it is cheaper during the week to eat than the weekend

Great value for money friendly staff great food always a warm welcome not alway need to book as they always try to acomadate you eat there quite often on the spare of the moment when can not be bothered to cook

This pub was recommended by friends, the decor was not quite right. However, everything else was excellent. Staff very attentitive, but not overly so.

15 of us went by Mini Bus, The Goole Gofar. The restaurant attached to the pub is excellent. A few of us had Fish & Chips, Roast of the day which happened to be Beef and cold ham and chips Garden Peas, Salad. Everything was really hot and the size of the fish was remarkable it was long and wide and was served with mushy peas and chips.The Fish was solid and so white and the price was £4.25 as were all the main meals at lunchtime. The waitresses served our drinks also

4 of us went for a meal on Sunday afternoon we had a drink in the bar before going to our table the service was very good the food was nice and a good price 3 of us had the haddock we asked for the large on the specials menu but they had non left so we had the one of the menu which was very good and to be honest big enough one of us had the mixed grill nice and hot lots of it but for peters taste not cooked enough two of us had a sweet and it was nice the only criticism our clothes did smell of the fried food when we left there was lots of fumes in the dining area

Been a number of times and previously found the food excellent last Sunday was a real disappointment nothing tasted fresh. The turkey was from a shop bought pre prepared roll, veg was clearly pre packed and the carrot and swede mash microwaved, scalded my mouth. Roast potatoes cooked and reheated. What's gone wrong! Hopefully the food will be restored to its usual standard soon

this pub serves excellent food. recently went for my sons birthday meal. portions are huge. the fish is a whale. the steak pie full of lovely meat. good real ales available and friendly staff. also they do a great sunday lunch.

Came in on a Friday lunchtime with the family. Were made to feel welcome and ordered drinks, I had the real ale, very well kept. We came in for the specials, and all 4 of us ordered fish and chips at £4.25 a portion. What more can I say, good sized portion, and tasted great, A Great pub serving great british grub. Well Done and Thank You, we will be back.

Went for a meal here last week on a friends recommendation....Have to say the nicest meal I v had for a long time .....Giving the Sunday lunch a go,got a feeling I won't be dissapointed ..Top Food!.. well done The Jolly Sailor

Called in here by chance for lunch whilst in area on family matters. Initially not impressed as given my g&t in a glass with ice, no garnish and all the tonic poured in. However that was the worst thing about our visit - the food is amazing value, traditional pub food, nicely presented, large portions, hot, freshly prepared and very tasty. The staff were very friendly, the food service was prompt and we had a partial view into the kitchen from our table so there's obviously nothing to hide.We aren't likely to be back in the area for a long time, which is disappointing as I would happily come here again. The pub was quite busy and I can totally understand why. We were very restrained and only had our main courses and a couple of drinks each. It's excellent value and well worth visiting if you're in the area

Visited this pub many times over the past few months and we're never disappointed. Excellent pub grub in a pub surrounding. Would highly recommend the cod and chips and the homemade steak pie. It really is homemade, as the Landlord let me purchase two uncooked so I could take them to a self catering cottage for a weekend away! Would recommend a visit.

We are from Australia and dine here often when staying in the UK I have a standing order, fish, salad, mushy peas, six chips (diet) Great unforgettable food often take a photo to show back home. Nothing wrong with the chips either but my better half won't let me eat too many Incidentally we arrive back in November see you soon. AP and Patricia

Specials are £4.25 mon-fri at lunch time. Fish and Chips, Sausage mash and onions, beef, etc. About 5 choices...good sized portions. Friendly quick service. Beer Black Sheep bitter £2.80/pint, Actually in Newport not Brough.

The Food is to die for, Steak Pie delicious, Fish and Chips Jumbo is huge and scampi you get a full packet WOW!!! willing give doggy bags too!!Staff most willing and the Beer is good too!

Excellent quality food! Extremely generous portions at reasonable prices. Excellent service..definitely worth a visit!

They offer some meals off the menu for £4.25, I had the chicken and bacon pasta with side salad and garlic bread. The cheese sauce was lovely didn't see any bacon but there was 3 sllices of chicken laid in the bottom of the dish.Nearly everyone else had Fish and Chips, fish and batter looked lovely, and the portions are massive.The pub has been decorated since my last visit, its a lot better now.

The food in here is awful very basic tasteless food and the services is virtually non existent. You spend an eternity waiting to be served and when you order what you want is sold out so you have to pick something else

very nice visit, nice food and atmoshere. Great to travel out of town to a local village and enjoy the delights of a country pub.

Since our retirement my wife and I have enjoyed many days tripping around the country side visiting area's that we never had the opportunity to do during our working life, Our trip today included a lunch time meal at the Jolly sailor Inn which proved to be one of the best pub meals that we have had for a long time eg- Well presented, good selection of piping hot food on big plates. We will certainly be calling again..

Popped out to here for a bite on my birthday ... food beautiful as always ... hopefully be back soon for yet more great food

The food is good, but a roast meal on a Monday especially is a little sparse, no mash and only 2 roast potatoes...plus the veg was very hard and most of our party left them as they were too hard to eat...not bad for the price though

Always great food... Just need the young staff to be a bit more 'on the ball'.Super value for money, easily accessible and plenty of parking... We visit regularly.

We managed to get a Sunday roast and also a midweek meal in the jolly sailor the food was excellent well worth visiting

Picked this place for a last minute meal after consulting Tripadvisor whilst in the area. When we arrived we feared the pub was closed but we realised we were the only ones in! We both had a beef Sunday roast and it truly was delicious. The meat was piping hot, the potatoes properly roasted with lots of seasoning and the veg bright and fresh! The house red was tasty as well. Don't be put off by the dated decor and the fact that the dining room is like a 1960's school dining room- the food is delicious!

Me and my husband visited here Saturday 16/1/2016 and Sunday 17/1/16 . On the first day I ordered a hunters chicken and my husband a mixed grill with soup of the day for starters. And wow was we impressed at the standard. The hot baguettes accompanying the soup were the icing on the cake for me. And the presentation of the food made it look yummy and on tasting the food it was incredible. The staff were friendly the prices were great and I just could not fit a pudding in as I was definetley over fed with my portion but in a good way of course! Thanks so much for a really enjoyable experience . I live an hour and half approx away and would travel here just for that delicious food!!

Visited the Jolly Sailor once again this Sunday whilst visiting family. Our table of 12 including children was well catered for and we were well looked after. The Jolly Sailor offers freshly prepared local produce at excellent value for money. £6.95 for an adult Sunday lunch, one of my favourite places to eat in The East Riding of Yorkshire.

Well after many months of been told "you must try this place" we finally paid a visit.Put very simply its fantastic Food at a more than reasonable price,friendly staff and pleasant setting.The Mixed Grill is one I will be having again for sure,my friend had the Steak Pie which looked equally as good.My only criticism was I found the lighting in the eating area far too bright for my liking but that's my personal view,I don't like bright lights at home.We both agreed this is one place that's definitely got to be visited again.

Had lunch here with a friend. I had the fish cakes which were delicious and came with a very interesting salad- mixture of leaves, tomato, red, green and yellow peppers and some coleslaw. My friend had the roast turkey which she felt was wonderful. I'm gluten intolerant and the staff were very knowledgeable about the allergens in various dishes. The fish and chips seemed popular with other guests, and it looked very tempting. Large portions and very reasonable prices.The loo was clean and pleasant and on the same floor as the restaurant, with no steps if memory serves me right. If I were to criticise- and I have no right to, bearing in mind the overall experience- I'd say it's a bit odd to have to order at the bar in a room which looks very like a diner or bistro.

The food here is superb, well cooked and nicely presented.Good value as well and worth every penny in my opinion.A quaint little place and a hidden gem.

You can't fault the food, been many times for evening meal and enjoyed it every time.Staff are friendly and prices reasonable. Desserts are yummy, that's if you can fit one in!!

Visited today for a Father's Day meal with my father,sister and my partner. We arrive and got our drinks the shown our table we were pre warned that the meal would be some time as the was a party of 9 and a party of 6 already seated and waiting for their meals which dint bother us at all. Our meal arrived after about 45 mins and we were all commenting on the size of the meals. I had the lamb shank on mashed potato and a generous serving of fresh vegetables served on a separate dish,my father had haddock and chips (more like the size of a shark) my sister had a beef dinner (she mentioned to the waitress that it was a bit tough)and my partner had belly pork on mustard mash. We managed to have a sweet each apart from my father who was stuffed after his main.No doubt we will be returning in the near future just hope that they don't lower their standards as to me they are pretty high at the moment. All the staff are friendly and polite I could mention the decor but I went to eat not judge the decor.

Really friendly staff and atmosphere! Good beer,ales and wine on offer. The food is top quality and cheap,you also get plenty of it!!

Pub, located in Newport between Gilberdyke and Brough, I regulary go for the lunchtime special, ay £4.25, and a larhe glass of wine.The size of fish serving is incredible, with plenty of veg

Having eaten at the Jolly Sailor Inn several times while on business in the area last October, work brought me back in April this year.This time, as well as eating, I stayed at the Jolly Sailor, albeit just for one night.One of the locals previously said to me "you don't think it'd be up to much" - how wrong that perception is.In my last review for a food only review over numerous visits, I awarded the the Jolly Sailor top marks - and again this time around.I was shown to a nicely appointed room, contemporary in style, with a wonderfully comfortable bed. There is the added convenience of a separate exterior entrance to the pub so you can come and go as you please without having to enter the pub.The food yet again excelled and I'm delighted to report that the portion sizes have not lessened since October.I recommended it then, I still do and I would still return and recommend others to do the same - time and time again. If only other pubs were like the Jolly Sailor.

We ordered our main course and starters, after 40 minutes we still had not been served. I went to the bar to pay for our drinks ad we were leaving. No one came to explain the delay. As we departed a waitress said they alleged they had been waiting 40 minutes. We had been 45 minutes by this point. So we are disappointed not only with the lack of service but also with the attitude of the waiters.

Had a fantastic meal - Matt the head chef cooked all our steaks to perfection. Very friendly atmosphere too!

Booked this for a Sunday lunch for family group after wedding previous night. Beth took the call (later found out she was second chef) and was very helpful with the booking.Arrived before the doors opened at 12 noon and wondered if made mistake as exterior is grim and car park even worse but from minute went through the door was made to feel very welcome, served drinks by attentive bar staff who chatted.Given menus, which were slightly torn with sticky labels changing dishes available, and made our choices, again looking at each other and wondering if we had made the right choice.From the bar could see into the kitchen and food preparation looked professional and hygienic (used to work in restaurant trade so knew what to look for).The first course came out. The home-made fish cake was about two inches high and the same diameter, packed with four different types of fish with barely enough potato to hold it together. Tasty just doesn't describe it. With the fresh salad garnish and delicious sweet chilli dipping sauce this could easily be a meal in itself.Other members of the party had the prawn cocktail starter which came as a mound – almost a small hill – of prawns in a delicious sauce and again excellent salad garnish.Sadly the chicken soup chosen by one of our group didn’t match the other starters.On to the main course and all had chosen a Sunday roast. My beef – all five, thick slices around four inches long and nearly two inches wide, was cooked to perfection as was the Yorkshire pudding and the five different vegetables – carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli and parsnips. The roast potatoes were slightly over cooked on the outside but deliciously crisp with soft, floury insides – yummy. And the gravy provoked a wow taste that gravy from my 18-year-old half cousin; we did and had the same reaction.The lamb and pork was similarly well cooked and in similar proportions. The “small adult” portion seemed to have one less slice of meat but otherwise was the same.On being offered the dessert menu only three felt they could eat one – very unusual in our party – but the first two courses had been so filling and delicious.The desserts that came were eventually shared out as they too were clearly home-made cheesecake (gluten free) and chocolate fudge cake. Coffees came piping hot and with two of those mini-cartons of cream (cream or milk in a jug may have been better but at least they didn’t leave you with only one little tub).Throughout the meal staff were attentive but not intrusive, responded rapidly to any request (e.g. extra drinks) and were extremely pleasant. Even Beth came out of the kitchen and asked if all was ok with the meal as she had taken the booking.With two drinks before the meal and drinks keeping flowing during the meal the total cost for eight adults was £132 - £16.50 per head was excellent value and made it easy to see why The Jolly Sailor was such a busy place to eat. We watched other diners struggle to finish a forest full of garlic mushrooms as a starter as well as massive portions of different pies and a fish so big it would have swam off the plate if the chips were not in a wall surrounding it.Toilets were clean and pleasant to use.Highly recommend visiting for a meal and don’t let the exterior put you off, appearances can be deceptive.

Fantastic meal and excellent people would definitely recommend this establishment to others well worth it

I visit this pub restaurant reasonably regularly, and the food is always good. For whatever reason, tonight's Steak Diane special was extra special. As is usually case here, the restaurant area was pretty busy. The only thing I could suggest for them is some organisation in the ordering process. When I got to the bar, there was one young man serving drinks to a couple. I was the only other person at the bar. There were three young girls standing at the end of the bar talking to each other. I couldn't tell if they were staff or customers. Eventually one of them asked if I was being served. I said no, so she got the barman to come over. I told him I was ready to order food, and he said I needed to do that with one of the three girls. So I ordered food from one of them, and asked for a drink. She said I had to order that from the barman. Then I said I was ready to pay for it all now, and she said she needed to bring somebody else over, presumably the boss, to settle the bill. A lot of confusion for what's a simple process in most other pubs. But the food is great.

We were staying at a nearby Travelodge for the night and the receptionist recommended The Jolly Sailors. We were not disappointed. the large fish and chips was huge - the batter was lovely and the fish delicious. Excellent value. (Only downside was dining room was like a cafe) obviously the good food brings the punters in because the place was packed. Well done !!!

Visited the Jolly Sailor on Easter Sunday. The Jolly Sailor provides fresh and delicious lunches at a fantastic price point and the menu not only caters for every taste but every appetite from my two little ones to myself and partner.The Jolly Sailor also provides a great children's menu that even had something appetising for my very fussy seven year old. Thanks for a great lunch we will be back.

Used the Jolly Sailor for a few years and it remains a favourite for very good food and excellent value. Two chefs make fresh food on site to order. Look out for the "large" portion of haddock and chips. You'll need a big appetite to finish it.Friends have used the bandb accommodation and said it was very clean with a great breakfast.

Am a regular visitor to this pub restaurant and have never been disappointed. The food is always of a very high standard and the staff are always pleasant and helpful. Someone has already said it the portions are huge. The fish and chips are to die for and as regards value for money it has to be one of the best within a fifty mile radius.

I visited the Jolly Sailor on several occasions during October last year while in the area for business - I also used the Jolly Sailor for accommodation for a work colleague.While I may not have stayed there, my work colleague was very satisfied with his room.I ate there twice and be warned: The portions are huge! The food is good quality and their fish and chips night is well worth a visit.I would undoubtedly return and recommend to others.

Went here on 16th December for a birthday meal. As always the service and food were good and especially the fish and chips. Would highly recommend.

Went here last night with our family for a nice meal.The waiting time for our starters was around the half hour mark.i had the tiger prawns option with garlic which was really tasty and arrived with a small bread roll but no butter which was a bit odd. The side salad was just right it was just the waiting time that was a bit of a let down.My main was a haddock and chips option and I was asked if I wanted mushy peas or garden peas and being a traditional gal I opted for mushy but on arrival wish I hadn't! It was obvious the meal had been sat under a heating light as the peas had a light skin over them and weren't very nice but I have to say that the fish was huge! I ordered the small size so beware... the large option is gonna be huge! The meal itself was tasty but unfortunately decidedly average.There was also a group of noisy young women in behind our table which meant that we couldn't hear ourselves think but I guess it is Christmas. It would have been nicer if there had been a separate room for larger parties as the main dining room here isn't very big which made the noise even louder than normal.All in all I think I would go back and try this again on a mid-week visit to see if things are different but it was a good average meal.

Food available in the evening but book or be prepared to wait for table - especially on Friday and Saturdays. Prices are good and food is simple and well prepared. A no frills evening out.

We stopped at the 'Jolly Sailor Inn' from 19th. - 23rd. September 2014 mainly for the convenience of visiting friends in the area. The Inn had some newly refurbished En Suite rooms which were very comfortable. We had intended to eat at the restaurant on the first night and just eat wherever we were visiting at the time, however the food at the 'Jolly' was so good with very generous servings we returned from our daily trips back to the restaurant every evening. A wide choice of breakfasts were also available at a time to suit the visitor. The whole of our stay was made very nice due to welcoming staff and very competitive prices. Newport is a very flat area which makes it ideal for walking and cycling and being only 1 mile from the M62 make access very convenient. We would recommend this establishment to anyone thinking of visiting the area.

The food was lovely and very good value definitely go again great service lovely atmosphere as well staff very helpful

My husband two friends and myself have been traverling around yorkshire and visited the jolly sailor pub two weeks ago, staff very friendly, food good, but the only thing that let it down was the cleansliness, we were sat near the emergency door which had a plastic curtain, it was very dirty, needs a good clean which also applies to the chairs they are very badly stained! the chief looks like he needs a good clean also.i bet your wondering why we stayed, well we were very hungry and were glad we did stay as the food was very good. just needs a good clean.

having been in this village just over year pop in to the jolly sailor for dinner very nice food of good size portion and very friendly staff would use again but would per book table next time

Spent a night near Newport and went to this pub for a meal on 8th June, with my wife. The pub looks pretty ordinary and to be honest it is fairly basic as regards decor.however our meal was first class and the portion size very generous. I had the biggest steak and ale pie I have ever had with vegetables which tasted very fresh. My wife had an enormous haddock and chips, which she enjoyed. The prices are reasonable and I found the bar and serving staff to be friendly, polite and efficient.In summing up ,if you don't mind the basic decor I would recommend this pub for a good drink and hearty meal.

Home cooked food, good sized portions, friendly efficient service. well worth a visit. Will definitely go again.

We visited the Jolly Sailor Inn on a busy Sunday teatime.Our meals were of excellent quality ,piping hot and plenty of it! The staff were very efficient and pleasant .It is probably advisable to book to avoid disappointment .We will return.

Went for tea with my wife last Saturday and enjoyed everything! The prices were great, the food was to die for, the beer was good and the staff were absolutely impeccable! The only downside I had was that we had to wait a while for the table however it was our own fault for not booking in advance. -Would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

I have been on a few occasions; it never lets me down when taking friends to dine. the food is always excellent. The portions are great especially the mixed grill and fish and chips. Tasty specials and good staff service.

Food is lovely and big portions. The service is great and the staff are always friendly. The restaurant area is always clean and well presented.

We live close by and have always heard that the meals at the Jolly where great, so on 22nd December, 21 adults and children attend a family birthday meal. The meal was very nice and hot and the services was brill. the prices are excellent. We would recommend this pub restaurant. Well done the jolly sailor

Always come to the jolly for the Fish and Chip night on a Thursday, never disappointed, generous portions and quick service. As we live in the south of England it is good to know where to come for good pub food that is always well cooked.

I visited here with a friend. The meals are good value and very generous portions. The meals are typical pub meals, nothing too elaborate, but if you like plain and simple foods and plenty of it, then this is the place for you!

. . . make up your own mind. We visited on Friday lunch time and had booked a table for 4 for 12.15pm which was just as well as it was very busy (Yorkshire folk obviously eat early). The specials at £3.95 are extremely good value and don't seem to be limited to pensioners. We had two specials: fish and chips (huge portions and freshly cooked) and a pasta bake with garlic bread (again, good portion and VFM). The regular mains were equally good: lasagne and chips (excellent and with an unexpected side salad) and steak pie and chips (large portion from a large pie, short crust pastry and lovely chunks of beef). A pudding of chocolate fudge cake (£3.95) was enough for two to share, particularly after such large mains.The down sides: the female manageress isn't terribly friendly and when I pointed out that she'd not charged me for the drinks, wasn't particularly grateful. When I asked what white wine they had, the girl just pointed to the fridge which had two different bottles. And finally the decor and carpet could do with updating. On balance, it's worth trying for the quality and value of the food.

The Jolly Sailor used to be our first choice for eating out. Unfortunately their prices recently increased making it poor value.We visited on a Saturday evening and were surprised at the lack of customers.On Monday to Friday lunch times they offer a limited number of pensioner specials at £3.95 (not to be confused with the expensive evening specials). We have not had one recently, but in the past these specials were full size meals and of excellent value. You don't need to be a pensioner to order those cut price meals.

The Jolly Sailor Inn is on the main road going through Newport, to the west of Brough. I mention this because it's post code designates it as Brough, but don't go looking for it there, it's in the village of Newport, about seven miles away.But it is worth tracking down, if you're in the area. The food is great, and the portions are big, I mean big. As a pub, it's fine, right selection, right prices, etc. But as a restaurant, it's great value for the money. Look out for their specials nights on Thursdays and Fridays.They also do fish and chips for seniors during lunch, at reduced prices. But the amount of food isn't reduced with this offer, as it would be in most places. You get a large fish that fills a large plate.The Jolly Sailor is also a bed and breakfast, which I've never had the occasion to use, but it's there anyway.It's on the main road, but there's parking and a nice garden at the back.

This a typical village pub serving a good selection of ales. The decor is somewhat dated but acceptable.The portions are huge! I had difficulty finishing my Gammon and Eggs and the single portion of homemade chips would have fed a family of four. The service was a bit hit and miss but the quality of the food is very good.

Ate here twice during a short trip away with family. Food was very good, nothing too fancy but just good pub grub. Staff were very friendly and service was very quick.Spaces for quite a few cars on the front and back, only negative comment is that due to the relatively small size of the eating area we had to wait for a table, although this was partly our fault for not booking before hand.Would recommend!

We found the Jolly Sailor just a mile off the end of the M62. It's in a convenient spot from which to visit Hull, Yorkshire's countryside and other local attractions which are within easy reach. The welcome was warm and friendly, the double en-suite room had a very comfortable bed; and the restaurant below served large portions of good food. Would highly recommend the huge haddock fresh from the local market for the fish and chips. Bring your appetite for any of the evening meals in particular

brilliant fish and chip lunch at good price for mature client, helpful and pleasant hosts, very popular with local people

The food is pretty standard fare - the fish and chips portion was generous but the fish was tasteless, I had the Thai curry and it was so vile I couldn't eat it. Yuk. The welcome is non-existent and the dining room is flat and lifeless.
