The Jolly Sailor in Cheshire East

Lovely pub with lots of character and dog friendly 😀

No Stella Spanish beer and Carling

Nice little pub. Homely neighborhood bar.

Good pub good company and very good real ales loved it Fantastic old fashioned pub

Hi, I just went in for a pint of cask beer it was in very good condition

Great find. Lovely real ale, served in perfect condition. Locals all chatty and friendly. Couldn’t recommend enough👍

Very cosy and quirky pub with open fires in the winter but I’ve experienced them in June it was that cold! It’s hard to fault The Jolly Sailor. Nice staff, nice customers and nice beer.

Went for a drink with a mate, proper local pub, very friendly

The door was open, so I went in for a delicious bitter shandy. There was general chat, no beery swearing or staring, and friendly service. In an armchair by a cosy fireplace, I checked my mobile, replied to some messages and reorganised my bag. After my drink, I went back out to the bright sunshine, refreshed. I will go back again!

Just went in for a beer, fantastic atmosphere, very friendly people. If you want somewhere lively for all age's this is the place.

Lovely heritage site, so nice to visit an excellent venue.

An "old school boozer" with a friendly atmosphere and a chance of a great coal fire burning. A place I enjoy having a drink in occasionally.

Just a lovely pub. Great drinks (including Bass on cask with sparkler). Staff are the nicest, and a combination of open fires with comfortable seating means you can spend hours there. I did.

Great traditional pub with a great, friendly staff. And good choice of beers and lagers. Well worth a visit.

Never eaten there but drink there once or twice a week and have never had a bad pint in all the twenty or so years I've been using the place.

This place was recommended by a friend who loves in the area. So after our hike, about 20 of us came here for a nice drink and some snacks. I highly recommend this place.

Good old fashioned Pub warm fire as you walk in friendly atmosphere and good tasting lager.

Atmospheric little boozer. Highly recommended.

Good pub and bar staff. Good food, ex force's friendly. Cribbage and a few games. Also a real fire. Certainly the first stop after the annual service by the Cenotaph. Still, a top boozer

A REAL pub, so few about these days. Too many plastic pretentious pubs with similar Customers!

Fabulous. Great landlord. Friendly. Warm .

10/11/23: lovely little boozer. Small selection of craft ale/craft beer. Dog friendly! Roaring real log fire? We had the best seats in the house.

Really nice pub in Macc. Very friendly as well.

My second local in Macclesfield. Excellent pub.

Fantastic place great landlord and crowd To

A proper pub. How a pub should be run!

Great pub freindly atmosphere very welcoming.

Great local where I feel comfortable with good prices

Friendly, comfortable traditional pub with good beer selection

Good Beer Guide-listed pub with a large selection of real ales, and an interesting interior. Not far from Beeston town centre.

Great pub, good beer, friendly staff always busy

Great little boozer, even better if you get a spot by the fire 😉

Nice pub Been a while since I've had any draught bass

Great little traditional english pub. Not sure what food they do but wide selection of drinks. Prices were OK and sport was on the TV. Comfy seats. Pop in after you have had your tattoo from next door

Great pub, great beer, great host

Lovely coal fire, just what you need! Along with a good pint of Bass!

A fabulous welcoming experience... I shall revisit very soon..

Great pint of bass they even had London pride on cask barmen very good

The locals are friendly. And the ladies toilet is spotlessly clean

Great crowd and very Accommodating for our Hen crew..

On a mission as a young pub crawler to explore the extent of Bass in pubs around the country. Popped in here while I was in Macclesfield. Good cool pint of Bass, much appreciated in the current hot weather we’re getting. Pub itself has plenty of decor and interesting furnishings to satisfy any pub crawler! And if Bass isn’t your thing, there’s plenty of other good stuff on tap which you can see in pics I’ll attach! Recommended if you’re in town and after good ale, good surroundings and good atmosphere!

Lovely friendly locals bar near town centre. Lovely pint of Theakstones Best. Proper cosy bar. Small covered outdoor seating. Good choice.

Fabulous atmosphere great bar staff and vary relaxing as well. Also lovely beer at a real good price as well.

Cracking little pub in Macclesfield. Went there this week for the first time. If I lived there it would certainly be my local. Great selection of beers & a unique homely feel about the place.

A pub that has stood the test of time, always a few in and the ale was good. no doubt it will be there forever.

Always a warm welcome. Busy place with a good choice of ales staff very friendly.nice vibe . Always nip in when in Macclesfield.

I have been going to the Jolly Sailor for many years - lovely staff and owner, quirky bar and good Beer

Nicely improved pub with good ales

A traditional and welcoming pub with a lot of charm provided by the old photographs, bits 'n' bobs on the walls, an ancient telly, a gleaming gold vintage cash till and other 'retro items' and curios. The staff were really friendly and we enjoyed the warmth and convivial atmosphere.

First time in after lockdown. Have to say how professional and organized it was. Temperatures taken on arrival. Handgel on the wall as you came in. Also in the toilets. Details taken incase of CV19. The lovely barmaid Kate was amazing. Adhered to all regulations. Can you come to work with us Kate. We love you.

Interesting pub with a lot of antique items inside, cosy, pleasant and a good smoking area. Had a pint of landlord which was possibly the best of that ale I’d ever had anywhere. I’m very particular about my ales, so obviously the cellar is prioritised and looked after . Would come here again if visiting this town

Had a nice walk around town and called in here twice, always lively and beers not bad too. difficult to walk past.

A friend took me here for Sunday lunch. We were a bit upset to be seated on a small table that didn’t seem set up as a dining table but the staff moved us onto another table which was nice. The food on the Sunday buffet was ok. Nothing special and I missed a fish dish as it was all meat. The food was pretty standard Sunday roast and the bill was very good considering! I think they were a bit overwhelmed and at full capacity when we were there which made is less than perfect but they were very friendly and I look forward to going back when they’re less stressed!

On a night out with friends and due to the torrential rain we were working around a small area of the town. So back in the Jolly and there was a good atmosphere. Decent pint of London Pride and a good table. The Scrabble was sticking out on the shelf, crying out to be played. Unfortunately it soon descended into words like Ci and Qi before the 4 letter words made an appearance. Enjoyable visit.

It’s located on a busy main road going into Stockport. There is often a traffic jam at busy times and you sit and look at this large impressive building. It used to be a private residence full of books! A few years ago it was sold and renovated. One or two books still remain. It’s large and open with seating areas scattered around. It’s the Buffet that’s the main draw, Well! Cheaper than anything on the menu! Two sizes of plate small and large. Large WOW!! Usual choice of meat and huge Yorkshire puddings. Special dish each night. We had beef bourginon plus a couple of slices of roast meat, included. Well worth a visit. Plenty of parking at the rear. Very friendly helpful staff. Think it opens 12.00 - 9.00pm We went at 12.30pm. No dogs!

One of the best pubs in Macclesfield live music on at the weekends and a great place to meet with friends

Great little pub with a different look and a great atmosphere. Good range of real ales, including draught Bass,and nice food. Mine host was most welcoming and the service from the staff couldn't have been bettered. Will definitely be back

Used to be a pub you avoided like the plague. However, since the refurb and new landlord its the first on your list. Nice decor and good ale.

You can go off places and it will probably be a while before we return here. Leading up to this visit I'd been a little irritated by the noise, not just the loud music in all corners when you're trying to have a chat, but the group of shouty regulars that congregate by the entrance and like to swear a bit. On this occasion it was cold inside, a pub really does have to be warm. A Saturday, so no excuses. London Pride doesn't generally travel well but this pint had a nasty metallic taste. Moved onto something else that was really unpalatable. Unfortunately the 2 ladies who've run the bar when I've been in previously and know their beer, were nowhere to be seen. The young girl who was in and out of the bar hugging the regulars did a random taste test with one of the guys at the bar, maybe the owner. He was happy, we weren't. My Dad used to test beer for a living in his younger days. Time may heal the pain of this experience but for now we will be drinking elsewhere.

Quite a good little boozer decent pint and friendly staff with good service and great old fashioned atmosphere 👍🏼

popping in for a quick drink before eating at the Maliwan further along the street. This is the fist time I'd been in here and it was great. Heaving with people but that made for a great atmosphere early on a Friday night. We were served promptly and with a beaming smile from Kate behind the bar. Great. Will be back.

Simply the best boozer in Macc. Great staff; faultless. Great beer. Great atmosphere. Great customers. Glyn’s ok too...

Reviewed before but I have more things to say.

One of the few great traditional town pubs left in Macclesfield. A great selection of real ales with a friendly crowd of regulars who appreciate good beer in a warm friendly pub which is dog friendly and has a real fire. Food is only at a weekend and you need to book. Enjoy .

Called in early on a Saturday for a game of Crib and a couple of pints and the pub was full. The lady behind the bar had her hands full with a crowd around the bar and one impatient local.

Quaint public house good bee good food. Well worth a visit just to see the memorabilia, steping back in time

This pub has a great range of beers as well as cosy areas in which to drink it. Quite busy when we called with local people and regulars who clearly give it their vote. Friendly cheerful staff always help a place to succeed, I hope to call again when the fire is lit rather on a warm May day.

A busy local pub with lots of character almost with museum qualities. A really good pint of Bass on tap along with many other speciality beers, good food too well worth visiting and close to the railway station too

It was a meal for my sister's birthday. The fillet steak I had was delicious and out of this world. And thank you to Mr Naden the proprietor for being an amazing chef and host. Very recommended xx

The Jolly Sailor has so many good things going for it, a real fire, armchairs, interesting artefacts and wall decoration, great choice of real ale, friendly staff and a little 'library' in the back room.

It's like traveling in time machine. And it's nice. Real pub for real gentelmen with real ales. Worth to visit and to come back

Called in on a Lunch time for a drink and they advertised steak night 2 Steaks and bottle wine for £20.00.Taking into account the steaks on main menu weight 8oz and 10 oz, I thought I would try it. What a disappointment, when the food came out the steaks we got weighed 4/5 oz, if I new this I would not of bothered. They should state the weight of the steaks where the steak night is advertised. At home we have steak nights and we get what's on the menu 8 oz what they should of done not conn people.

Llegó a probar el nuevo asados del domingo con algunos amigos y no puedo recomendar el lugar. Excelente servicio del equipo detrás de la barra, se desvivían por ti incluso cuando nos sentamos en el restaurante. Una decente, si Run of the Mill, selección de cervezas ayuda el asado.

16 de nosotros fuimos de Macclesfield Marino 2/8 de diciembre. Bueno era increíble, y abundante. El servicio era excelente. En el acogedor bar para tomar una copa antes de ir a la zona del restaurante para comer en una zona muy abierta agradable. Muy buen sitio para comer y puede recomendar los filetes. Hacer ring reservar ya que es un lugar concurrido.

Hablo en este pub en ocasiones, normalmente en el fin de semana.

Este es el 2º semana tuvimos una gran arriba sabroso almuerzo de domingo en el jolly, es un ambiente informal muy relajado con un personal amable,

No sé qué atractivo es a este pub para ser honesto, a un pub bebiendo mans. . El fuerte olor de los urinarios, cuando entras en el recinto es un recuerdo de hace 50 años o así. El Bass es un buen pinta. . .

this pub is made by the patrons and the landlord too many pubs in this town have gone by the way and some have lost all there character not in here a good drink and a laugh is guaranteed and be careful you dont stay too long otherwise you will find yourself in thailand millys 60th and next year nigels 65th all are planned from here and beware the landlord you never know what he will come out in and whatever you do dont shake the hand of the toothless don

Buen ambiente y una buena inglés/Macclesfield Pub diversas cervezas de barril, que a menudo cambian y si te gusta una pinta de Bass (que ahora es raro de encontrar) te gustará este Pub

A proper traditional pub (which is sadly becoming a rareity these days!) with lovely staff, great music and free wifi! An excellent way to relax for a few hours on a Saturday afternoon!

This pub is always fairly full, and is deservedly popular. It is a traditional place, with a music theme. There are one or two real ales, and a good choice of other drinks. It's not always possible to get a seat, but if you persevere you should be able to be seated by the time you start on your second pint.

Sadly changes in the excellent staff of 2014 and a deteriorating standard of clientele this pub is losing its place as one of the best in the town. Not uncommon to walk in to be greeted by a lot of shouting and swearing. Still waiting for the restaurant after years. Need to pick their game up and get back to the direction this pub had been going.

nice old interor pub with loads of pics of jazz musicians and music in the background 4 good real ales on handpump friendly staff .

A good traditional British pub offering good beer at reasonable prices in traditional surroundings. Well worth a visit.

This pub by a long way is the best in Macclesfield in every way....beer staff....jazz....the beer is draught bass...which is really well kept....the landlord is friendly and speaks to all...I highly recommend this hostelry

I just love meeting our friends here. It has a great atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and the place just buzzes with people, all relaxed, just how a good local should be.

The Jolly Sailor is truly a proper pub. Warm fires, books on bookshelves, really good atmosphere and first and foremost, really good ale!

A really pleasant, traditional town pub. Great beers, friendly and efficient staff, and a good mix of interesting customers. Definitely a pub worth a random scoop in when passing through the town.

Started coming back here a month or so ago. we moved house so it is just a 10 minute stroll away.Ecclectic, eccentric, ever changing decor and frankly, just excellent!Great beers are well kept, good selection of them too.Food is due to start again soon, after a brief respite, talk of specialising in steaks, yum yum.If you are under 30 or have small children, not your sort of place.If you want a sit down and cosy pub this is heaven.ps. Whether you are a smoker or not, it's worth visiting the outdoor area. It will make you smile.
