Headed down to the Jolly last night with a few family members and had a really enjoyable experience. We had the pleasure of being served by Jamie who was very helpful throughout the evening. The food and drinks were very nice, who doesn't love a TCC.

Utilizamos este pub para una estancia de una noche en nuestra caravana en ruta a un camping. Llamé para comprobar que estaba bien y reservé para una cena. Me alegro de haberlo hecho. La comida era muy buena y la joven que nos sirvió fue muy servicial. Mi marido es un comedor muy quisquilloso y ella se aseguró de que su pedido estaba listo. Ambos estábamos muy contentos con nuestra comida y también probamos su cerveza pálida. Con todo, una velada muy agradable

15 QUID for this was an actual travesty And to top if off you have to go and collect the food yourself I think the management needs to have a proper sit down and re think on what they are offering people because this is an actual joke The girl behind the bar also played with her septum piercing the whole time she was serving customers 🤢 🤢 🤢 DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON FOOD AT THIS PREMISES

What a fantastic location! Been coming here for over 12 years and seen it change a bit Unfortunately the beer is terrible but the food is good I believe (only ordered chips). When I say the beer is terrible I am referring to the bland national offerings and not the actual quality of product. Nothing local with good flavour, for example. Service was poor and mainly kids running the bar. Ordered a simple 2 portion of chips and one was reafy in 5 mins but they had no memory of the 2nd. 15 mins later I got them somehow! Such a shame. This was on Sunday about 2pm. However, the food and drink prices look to be unusually low for this part of the world 🙂 Give it a go for the location and potentially good food. Bring your own beer though and don't expect local products 😆

Allegedly the hunt of smugglers, this remote pub, at the end of a country lane, looks out towards Southampton Water. The old photos show it has been extended out the front, probably due to it's popularity. The disused water mill and tidal mill pond are still in the background. Some nice beers and a good pub menu.

What an amazing pub this is. Nothing to complain about in any way whatsoever. The staff are great and very efficient and friendly, the food was good and the prices were bang on point. We were a large group of 14 people and we provided the food order ahead of time. All the food came out as ordered and was delicious. Great spot and even allow people to stay over if need be (some of us were in our campervans). If you want good ‘clean’ food then you can’t go wrong - the pork shank was HUGE and a lot of us had the lamb shank which was very well cooked and tasty. Brilliant evening all round. I will definitely be returning.

Had steak on a lava stone for main and my partner had the lamb shank..both were absolutely outstanding and the welcome we received from the locals and staff was so good. Proper English pub. Highly recommend!

Tucked down a narrow road at the southern end of Fawley the Jolly Sailor has been a local favourite for many years. Often has live music and you can sit outside. Best when the tide is in a bit as at low tide Ashlett Creek is a bit muddy to look at , but beware of Spring tides as the car park and quay get flooded. You can walk from her to Calshot.

We visited here due to the water shortage at home, making cooking and washing up tricky. From arrival we were made very welcome. The menu had a great choice on it and at reasonable prices. The sausage and mash was really nice and ideal for a cold day. My husband enjoyed his chilli. The chocolate bread and butter pudding was amazing and loads of custard too. The pub had a really nice feel to it and we will definitely come back soon.

Handmade burger was quite small, roll it was served in was at least twice as big and not toasted. Very little cheese and very small portion of chips. Despite the previous good reviews yesterday was not great and would not rush back. Also loads of flies inside and our table was very sticky, the waiter struggled to collect the menus as they were stuck down. Won’t be rushing back, it’s a shame the business doesn’t take more pride

Unwelcoming to families with young children. Staff with a lot of attitude. We’ve been here many times over the years but never again. Such a shame. We booked ahead for late Sunday lunch and when we arrived learnt dogs were not allowed in the restaurant. I asked if the bar was available but was told with attitude ‘I’ve just said there’s no room’. Clearly we had made the cardinal sin of needing anything from the staff and our booking was scrubbed from the book. We received a lot of attitude and eye rolling from the female restaurant manager and waitresses when we asked for our booked table back. We should have known to leave at this point. We had a baby and three toddlers and the staff blanked us. We asked for menus, we asked for our orders to be taken, we went to the bar for our drinks. We asked for water and glasses, We asked for drawing paper and received attitude again. Our children now starving were acting up. We asked for the bread and butter we ordered to keep them happy but ‘the kitchen hadn’t made it yet’. Two underwhelming roasts, a kids meal and £60 we got out of there. Of course we asked for the bill. And the card machine.
