The Jolly Sailor in Denbighshire

Lovely home cooked food for lunch catering for us all as a family. Fab chef brought the food to the table and was lovely. Handle in disabled toilet/baby changing needs replacing. Thank you

Just had an excellent Sunday Lunch of Roast Lamb, Will highly recommend eating here.

Two of us went for meal. Beautifully cooked tasty food. Very good price too. Nice atmosphere. Football was on but didn’t interfere with our meal. Will defo go again and take family. Well behaved dogs allowed in all areas.

Went with family who have been when the place first opened. The chef is a wonderful lady who brought my ASD son out of his shell. Such a welcoming place, can't wait to go back

Amazing home cooked food, big portion sizes, staff are friendly and helpful and the service was impeccable. Would highly recommend.

Disappointed there were no sailors but very friendly and lovely beer.

My family and I had a beautiful meal at The Jolly Sailor this evening. Lyn the new chef (and kitchen owner) was very friendly and helpful. She has been a chef for 36 years and it shows as her food is absolutely delicious. The portion size is big too which my hubby and son were happy about. Support an up and coming restaurant at The Jolly Sailor, Prestatyn. You won’t regret it.

Had food here last weekend , lovely staff food was great defiantly recommend

Two couples and two children for tea, I had lasagne which was beautiful, lovely staff, good prices. Would defo recommend

Friendly staff, great crowd of locals, and good choice of beer at a reasonable price.

Wow. What a fantastic burger. Great service. Lots of choice on the menu. Will definitely be ordering food from here again

Good local pub with a great atmosphere and choice of beverages

Great pub, helpful barman brought my drink to my table because I am disabled, I'll be back 🍻, EDIT, I've been back again, still just as good if not better 🔙

Went out to the beer 🍺 garden it was very good day. Family day

Told didnt need to book for table of 10 , said come in and there will be availability, turn up to no tables , no food. Avoid trying to eat here. Very bad customer service.

Nice pub, nice food and nice beer.

Friendly pub, now has new manager and has improved greatly. now starting meals between Wednesday and Sunday. Still a friendly pub 01/07/2020. Had an Angus beefburger with trimmings tonight, was very good ..Still a good pub .... 02/09/2022. Now no catering but will open shortly ....12/12/2022 Now a Hungry Horse franchise as well. Very good quality, freshly made. 13/02/2024

No food was served as the people doing the catering had left, although they have other caterers coming in the near future. The outside area is not as clean as it should be as there was a lot of cigarette ends on the floor and the bins were not emptied.

Not changed still a friendly pub got to be a one off you don't find pubs like this on every street

Good beer selection and a prime location 👍🏻

No frills food. Cheap and cheerful.

Great place to commute... The food is excellent and the staff are lovely aswell as the locals... And the pool table is probably the best in prestatyn

Have been going over for an evening meal for last few Fridays. Jackie and Jo are doing a brillant job since they took over the kitchen. The pizza is lovely and I can really recommend the chilli. The home made curries are really tasty. We have tried the Sunday roast and we're definitely going back.

Absolutely disgusting bar service, served half a pint of froth by a very inexperienced member of staff Ross ,when asked if he could top it up was told that he wouldn’t serve me anymore, such a shame as other staff ok but as he is a member of the family it has gone to his head

A local pub, with friendly people, and mine host's welcoming, and helpful.

No food this visit but still a good pint

A good atmosphere, a great place to watch football.

Full of pure dole dodgers. It was more enjoyable at my mums funeral. Even the leads peeling itself off the roofs in the threat of being stolen. Staff the best part. Very pleasant. XOXO Shanini

Popped in for a quick bite to eat last week. Large enough pub with plenty of places to sit. Staff were friendly as were the locals. Had chips and scampi in a basket with our drinks. Worth a look.

Lovely meal with the family well worth a visit good staff friendly place

Fabulous food at good prices and a warm friendly atmosphere with friendly staff.

Poster saying 2 classic pub meals for £12,charged£20,when challenged poster was said to be out of date,meals arrived and both were not big enough for a 10 year old,no covid regulations being adhered to inside by most and ate dinner in the company of foul languaged locals. Not an experiance I will be repeating

Dreadful experience tonight. Walked in and asked is there were any available tables to eat. Was told just find an empty one, and food was being served until 730pm, ie another 15 mins. Only available table had dirty glasses on it. No menu offered and no table service offered. No information taken for T&T. People were queuing at the bar for service! Didn't feel safe so left!!

It has been some time since I visited due to the coronavirus however the meals we did have were very lovely and nice, the staff are friendly and helpful but due to the Welsh government restrictions not been for some time

Brilliant manager can't do anuff for you highly recommended

Food average pub grub nothing to write home about

Very friendly and helpful staff

Not a bad pub for a pint or two,pool table there staff friendly and ale was cheap worth a look Derek 🍻👍🍺✔

A lovely pub with a really nice atmosphere

A lovely friendly pub with very reasonably priced tasty food

Bog standard pub grab, steak was fine, burger and chicken goujons fine, wife ordered the curry which should have come with poppadoms, it didn't so i had to go back to the bar to ask and was told they were out, fair enough but would have been nice to be told upon ordering rather than after being delivered. Clearly knew we were holiday makers and didn't care!

The landlord had things well organised through testing time, very relaxed and enjoyable, staff were very nice

Friendly atmosphere great place

6 of us went to have lunch on Friday. Could not book a table as no phone number on site. When we arrived we were told they didn't serve meals till 2.00. This is the third time we have tried to visit. Lat year we went to be told the chef hadn't turned up, the next time we went there was no food as they were waiting for the fridge and freezer to come. Don't waste your time.

New manager has recently taken over and the atmosphere is fantastic. Great food, beer and company daily. The homemade Sunday roasts are to die for and highly recommended. Definitely worth a visit 😁

Clean and friendly. Great for dog lovers. Food is good and great value

I got this pub totally mixed up with another ,I never went into this place so the two stars are unjust, my sincerest apologies.

Called in for quick drink ended up having tea food was excellent and staff made us feel very welcome

Went for a drink with friends last night, the new relief manager John was so welcoming and the karaoke ran really smoothly. Went back in today and couldnt believe how clean the place was especially the toilets and the outside area, no fag ends anywhere!! Let’s hope it stays this way!!

Well.... where to star on this eye opening experience. i was on holiday with my family and decieved to visit for a evening meal. There was 4 adults and a 1 year old with us. From the very start i didnt go well. We asked to place and order for food and drinks. Never ha ve i had to order my food with one person and then drinks with another but only one could stand at the bar at any one time. Anyways we carried on and placed the order. About 25-30 minutes later the first meal arrived - fish and chips, it should of been mushy peas but we looked past that. Another 20 minutes went by and the second meal came out, this being a second lot of fish and chips but missing a few items. Thinking they would come in a minute they didnt. Spoke to the ladie on the bar and was told it was on its way. Another 15 minutes went by and the chips meal arrived, by then my father had finished his and we still had another meal waiting. After an hour i went to the bar to ask where my burger was, to my surpise i was told "I give you it, youves already had it" When i asked "Where did you take it too" th answer was a completly different table where there was no one. This argument went back and forth for a while. I then asked to see the manger, to be told everyone is the manger. I asked to see the manager again to which they couldnt get hold of her as she only works 1 hour a day. Requested for a refund as by now almost 2 hours had went by, i was waiting for my burger, my wife for the rest of her lunch and my mothers chesse toatie also never arrived. When it came to ask for a refund i was told well i cant refund you for any food that been processed as they will lose out. Nothing about the customers expiernace at all. I did ask if I could have the managers mobile number, I was given just a random number for a recruitment agency that had no dealing s with the pub. It was at this point we left to get food from somewhere else. Just to mention too we were thr ONLY group in the whole pub!!!. Later that evenong i decieved to facebook the pub telling them the issues hopeing some form of management would reply. All i got in return was a load of lies how we upset the memeber of staff ect. Not once did we get an appology or the phone callback i was promised.

The cooking of the food was really poor. Actual food was typically expected frozen pub food. Unfortunately the cook was hopefully inexperienced, considering the quality of the cooking. Just one example, my 'sizzler' was on a luke warm skillet with almost raw onions..... Burger was only just cooked, and medium rare steak was well done. We won't be returning which us a shame as is a convenient location for us 😔

Guinness worst I’ve ever tasted , didn’t dare eat here , sat in “ beer garden “ as advertised but it’s the co op car park lol Won’t return , don’t allow dogs either which is amazing seeing the general appearance of the place

Great pub, good food and friendly staff

If I could give a rating of 0 I would. 4 adults and 3 children (ages 3, 6and 7) After trying to keep the kids entertained for an hour and 20 mins while we waited for our food, it turned up - what a disappointment. We were also the only people in there ordering food - 1hr 20mins is not acceptable for what is advertised as quick pub food. Every meal was borderline warm, all the side salads were dry and not fresh and the chips were barely done. The mega burger was inedible. The scampi and chips contained 5 small pieces of scampi. The kids meals had been left on the side and had begun to dry out. Please do not be fooled into reading all the great reviews this place has as they are most likely done by locals in return for a free pint.... This is the worst meal any of us have ever had and when we complained to the bar staff (this is the first time I have ever complained about a meal) she put up no argument/defence, we said that we were not happy paying for our food to which the barstaff suggested refusing to pay which we did (we did however pay for our drinks). To top things off we now have 3 children and 2 adults who have been sick (as a direct result of eating here) and spent the rest of the evening hugging the toilet. Please avoid this pub at all costs...

After an hour and I half of waiting we received what I can only describe as the aftermath of a nuclear bomb delivered to us on plates. I got the chicken and beef burger which the chicken was so hard I was waiting for it to hit me and the beef was dryer than ghandi,s flip flop. My wife got the cremated chicken along with my sister's boyfriend which was just awful. My sister's scampi was so undercooked I'm surprised it didn't wriggle off her plate. My daughter's beans looked like they had been picked off the floor before serving and I could have played snooker with my son's chicken ball's. Definitely would not recommend 🤮

Nice atmospheric, good company, fantastic staff will definitely be back.

Not impressed to be honest .sorry but you need to up your standards you bring the meals to the table then state that you don't have the stated accompaniment too late to choose something else hi5 for barmaid who couldnt apologise enough

Lovely pint really nice staff.

Went in with my daughter for lunch yesterday. Food was lovely (I had the £6.95 sirloin steak on the Tuesday special). My daughter’s burger looked lovely! Both very, very tasty. It’s rare(pardon the pun) to get a steak exactly as you’ve ordered it these days but this was beautiful! I believe the burger was really nice too-no complaints anyway! Place seemed very clean. Friendly service. Toilets were scrupulous! Very enjoyable.

What came was a large but basic lunch. More greasy spoon than pub I’m afraid. Long wait from order to service and the food doesn’t come out together. 1 really helpful hard working bar person but the rest seem happier on their phones or sat on other side of bar. Sorry wouldn’t return which is a shame as it’s handy when we are in the area.

Visited the jolly sailor for a drink but decided to have a meal as well, we both had a burger and a pint for £8 , The place was very nice and the new landlady couldn't do enough for you, will definitely go back qa

Clean comfortable and nice friendly bar staff

Not the same now as no food at the moment new people taken over so hopeful it be back on track

Newly refurbished pub, great value meals.

Have been to this local pub quite a few times as it is local to me, nicely decorated the food menu is varied accomadating all tastes, good value for money drinks are reasonably priced . Different offers available for various nights good place to eat.

Landlady not friendly if she ever deigns to make an appearance, other staff friendly only serve food when she wants dirty toilets and floors I've been going here for years and never had a complaint until now nearly all of the regular customers have left going down hill fast bring back Wendy

Good food great price friendly staff

The pub is clean and tidy, with a good variety of ales. There is a pool table and a dartboard for customers to enjoy. The pub lacks atmosphere and a welcoming feel

I’m a regular and come in most days. The place has gone down hill and is disgusting. The toilets aren’t cleaned. The carpets haven’t been hoovered in months and the floor has sticky spilt beer all over them - again no cleaning being done. Food is hit and miss, no set times, people coming in for food to be told not serving. The beer is over priced for its location and the staff spend more time on the fruit machines or watching tv than interested in customer service. This used to be a community pub but not anymore.

Popped in for a meal with my dad service great food great would recommend

Food nice, good service, but bar was dominated by a rowdy crowd of noisy regulars.

Under new management do not do food any longer very noisy pub

Friendly Pub with easy access off-road Parking. Co-op Shop next door.

Great pub where everyone is friendly and meals are great 😀

great food great people lovely place to eat and drink

Very nice food, and very accommodating with requests. The only downside is that they don't serve regular Coke or Pepsi.

Nice pub inside an estate, sat outside easy to find off the sea front.

Brilliant very friendly with the locals great food

just like home food lovely atmosphere clean tidy an comfy landladys a scream cant wait to go back

A quick polite service with meals

Don't even know where to start or end the whole experience was terrible. In short....bad food, bad attitude and a long wait.

Brilliant food by Chef Rob and team and a brilliant quiz on Thursdays

Nice little place. Off the main Prestatyn road. Had a nice snack plater. Defo call again

Had a meal here and that was quite good. Service good and prices were ok.

I went for lunch with my parents and husband and found the atmosphere to be friendly and welcoming. The choice of food was good. We chose from the 2 meals for £12. We had eggs, ham and chips, scampi, chips and peas and a vegetarian cottage pie with chips. The food was piping hot and tasty. Recommended for a quick pub lunch.

Had a 2 for £12 meal and was lovely food with lovely and really good portion sizes. Well recommended

First time we have been but will be going again soon friendly staff great food .

Looked nice but nothing but roast dinners til 5bon a Sunday.

Nice pub and good food children welcome

Good night out..nice pint..Will be goin back for more dj Kelvin soul sounds...worth the trip.

Nice pub friendly staff and patrons !

Great food and really friendly service.

Loved this place , good food worth a visit

Amazing atmosphere, friendly, food is lush xx

Always a pleasure to eat at this venue,staff very smart and friendly good variety on menu plenty of choices, theme evenings meal section away from the rest of the room where there's a pool table dart board not sure how many games machine s good all round would recommend this venue

Wasn't all that jolly when I visited in fact it was miserable and nobody in.

Just had the best night for ages. Initially only went out for tea and a chat and ended up winning the quiz. The food was great, staff friendly and efficient and the whole night was a great success. Definitely going back next week. 👌

Food was lovely staff are very friendly and polite.

Great food, prices and lovely atmosphere. The staff are so welcoming I would highly recommend here. 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A sunken treasure to be sure this one! Davey Jones himself would be proud to call this his local pub. Serves the best grog in town and I can't forget the food that does a good job filling weary sailors. We shall be singing shanties of this place for weeks to come.
