So I have been on the hunt for a good roast in Portsmouth, and I have to say this roast was tasty, even more tasty than expensive restaurant's roasts I've tried in Portsmouth. It is 2 for 1, not only on roasts, but other meal options too. And the kid got to eat for free, a whole 3 course kids meal free. Roast was delicious - soft melt in your mouth potatoes, chicken breast that was not dry and good selection of veggies, yorkshire was also good. Tasty gravy. I am happy. Will be going here for roasts

My partner and I went in on Saturday 20th July to escape the busy food festival happening in southsea . There was one miserable looking women serving so took quite a while to get served. A few draught beers including Guinness wasn’t available so opted for Neck Oil didn’t realise it was £7.20 a pint !! I thought it was a bit steep ! As it had started raining we decided to get another drink no one serving at all at the bar , people were waiting , another couple left and so did we .

Bar staff struggling to serve the number of customers as they had to go down stairs for draft beers. The staff are clearly stressed as cannot deliver with the issues today. However, the staff are friendly and jovial despite their challenges. Don’t think toilets have been updated for a while. However, it is lovely sat here on a warm May evening looking over Southsea common.

Good location (good to stay outside if the weather is fine) and have the sea view (the coast is not very far away). The afternoon i visited there was a live musical performance. The only issue to me is that i found the price is little bit higher than the others. But if you enjoy live music then it should be a big bargain.

I went here with my three children to buy for drinks. I went to the loo first and when I came back the owner questioned me if these were my children and that they were not allowed to finish their ice lollies inside the premises as they sell their own food! I said they only came inside because it was cold outside but the guy said it was 'my pub, my rules'. I never met such as a'hole as this! I went there to buy drinks, but went to Langtry's instead. Will never go to jolly sailor ever again. The man even made my five year cry and didn't understand why we were kicked out even before having a chance to buy a drink. British hospitality at its best!

I had not been to this place in some time after relocating however I had fond memories and the food had been enjoyable previously. I’d not seen a friend in some time and I recommended we returned to Portsmouth and had a Roast together at this place. Can’t fault the fantastic staff but the food was a massive let down - you do get a load of food a huge amount but the meat was sadly awful chewy and horrible to taste ( we had the Beef) they sadly decided to completely drown the entire meal in a really overpowering salty gravy - it sounded like a great deal 2 for £20 but I went away starving. The staff didn’t return to check how everything was I do know the staff were very busy by that point but I felt so upset and embarrassed as I’d suggested going there based on my previous experience. I think buy better cuts of meat and put the gravy in a side jug not everyone wants gravy on everything and reduce the massive portions. Don’t like giving negative feedback but it was disappointing enough to make me feel I needed too. Staff and location are excellent shame the food standard has slipped or maybe we just got unlucky.

We popped in for a quick drink, service very friendly. Whilst there, a customer started bullying one of the bar staff as they didn’t accept cash. Older male customer was horrendous, I only caught end of his rant, but the member of bar staff was very professional and well mannered, a credit to the job. Members of staff should not have to accept this level of customer harassment, and the male should feel totally ashamed of himself.

Due to the fact I've been going to this pub for years with family and friends AND ABOVE ALL THEY ARE A INDEPENDANT FAMILY RUN BUSINESS which we should all be supporting I decided to do the right thing and give them a good chance to make this right infact 6 weeks to return my emails which they never did , ITS LIKE THEY JUST DONT CARE *just read there recent feedbacks* no response nothing you have just lost 4 regular customers (and 2 families that eat there most sundays),you no longer except cash which if you think about it you lose a market where people may not want other people knowing what they are spending when they go out just please think about that not to mention some people like to pay cash so they know what they are spending (especially in this climate),also you took a card payment and over charged us twice (which I'm now thinking this is why you no longer take cash) real shame as this used to be a great pub you've just got really lazy,however on the plus there are alot of independent pubs in southsea who are just so much better unfortunately this pub is no longer one of them (I will never support a pub who does not except cash) or one that rips there customers off and certainly not one that doesn't even respond to emails

Played the quiz was really good. However, a member of staff (thin woman, brown hair in charge of the quiz) openly bullies and belittles the other members of the bar team and is really hostile when approached for any questions, queries or general chat. Made for a very awkward situation, wouldn’t want to work here in that environment let alone see it, feel bad for members of staff under her.

I was hovering between average and very good for my review. I felt average was too low as I really enjoyed the vegetable Thai curry that was given at half time during the quiz. The entry free is £3 per person which is quite a lot but I felt it was worth it as you did get a decent portion and it was delicious and hot. The quiz was fun although perhaps a little slow for my liking and it didn't have a music round, I go to quite a few quizzes though so perhaps I'm being a bit picky. The drinks were expensive but possibly that's to be expected given the location close to the sea. The thing that really let the evening down though was how cold it was. We were all freezing and had to keep our coats on all night. I know times are hard and heating is a luxury these days but perhaps staff could hand out rugs or hot water bottles! I would like to visit again and try a meal but I'd probably wait until spring or summer.

Was ok for a 1-2 night stay. Tbh I would actually rate it 2.5 Basic and with shared facilities (would not usually go for shared bathroom but it was a cheap option) Unfortunately no lock on one bathroom door which resulted in us walking in on a man asleep on toilet. Don’t stay here at weekend if you want peace and quiet as entertainment on in the pub. Sean literally did sing Elvis all night. It was adequate for our needs but nothing special and definitely needs some redecoration.

Stayed at The Jolly Sailor for a few nights in August (review on the Jolly Sailor 'hotel' tripadvisor page) and naturally we frequented the bar most nights. One night we had food, Beer & Burger for £10 was excellent value; the portions were generous and the burger cooked fresh and possibly homemade. Another night we stayed for the 90s disco and had a very good evening; entertainment was spot on, lots of classics played, plenty of people up dancing, great atmosphere. Would definitely visit TJS again when in the area!

We ate here twice and on both occasions the meal was very good. A good portion and quite tasty. The pub has seen better days and needed a bit of a shake up. We ate early and the staff coped very well with table only service at the time. Toilets were also a bit on the needed a good clean side of things bit then again they did there job. Good location and had seating outside but next to the road. Not everyone's cup of tea but a good English pub.

We visited this pub today for Sunday lunch. What a great experience. We booked a table which was available when we arrived slightly earlier than planned. The staff were extremely pleasant and the management of social distancing was very comfortable. Now for the food. We have had many Sunday roasts over the years but this was up there with the best. The servings were of a very good size and every item on the plate was cooked well and served hot. It was simply superb and excellent value for money. I would thoroughly recommend this pub.

Fui anoche al día de San Valentín con mi esposa Gabrielle, su hermana Sabrina y mi esposo Ted. Primero la cerveza. Mi pinta de Doom Bar estaba agria y dejé la mitad. Me cambié a Guinness y me cobraron 10. 05 por la pinta y media de sidra. ¡Cuidé mi bebida muy cara durante las siguientes tres horas! En segundo lugar la comida. Si esto hubiera sido Come Dine With Me habría marcado 3 de diez y dos puntos hubieran sido para el budín. Gabrielle tenía salmón en croute. Ella dijo que el salmón estaba bueno, pero dejó el pastel ya que estaba empapado. Su espárrago recocido tenía los tallos duros todavía unidos. El resto de nosotros tenía las chuletas de cordero recubiertas que resultaron ser pequeñas costillas de cordero. Como es la tendencia moderna, los habían cocinado agitándolos cerca de una vela durante un par de minutos. Después de atravesar una capa muy gruesa de grasa poco cocida, llegamos a una pepita de carne rosa brillante. La carne era difícil de cortar, masticable y carecía de sabor. El syllabub fue bueno. En tercer lugar la clientela. La última vez que vi tanto cordero vestido como cordero fue en un mercado de granjeros. Si bailar fuera un piano, ¡necesitaría una gran afinación! Chav Paradise.Finalmente la gracia salvadora fue "Sean canta a Elvis". Tenía una buena voz y no "sobrepasó a Elvis" sus canciones como lo hacen muchos imitadores. Fue un buen acto y es recomendable.

I booked a table a couple of weeks ago for their 80's disco evening and to have a meal.I arrived 15 min before my table booking table and had to wait 5 mins at the bar to ask where my table was, nothing was ready. I had to ask bar maid a couple of times if table was ready and after 30 minutes of waiting they sat us down, they didn't seem too bothered that we had wait and not very friendly.Ordered food, which was nice. Then noticed that we should have received 2 free drinks with fish and chips that we ordered. Went back to bar and they only gave us one.DJ was really good and played some great music, which was the only reason we stayed.I wouldn't rush to go back there, the staff aren't very friendly and they didn't seem to be organised.

Shower holder was falling apart but shower temperature and pressure was good. We booked a table in the restaurant the day before staying, however an hour after they called to say no chef on the night we were staying so no meals.

First the good point....the jolly sailor has secured the services of one of the best soul and Motown DJs in the land (Tricky Dicky). Never heard of him before but a great listening experience and first time I have danced for years.Now the bad.....the food was nothing short of horrible and the service dreadful.After a thirty minute wait all three meals were cold.The ribs which were not only cold but covered with greasy slime pretending to be barbecue sauce ( the last I heard, sauce moves around the plate), sweet potato chips that got colder as one moved down the pile, burger buns that were drier that the Sahara and having gently reported the unsatisfactory state of affairs to the waitress received a cursory “ok I’ll tell the kitchen” and then heard nothing more.I think the worst thing was that our complaint was just totally ignored even though pretty well full plates were returned to the kitchenA very poor advertisement for Portsmouth

Good location, clean bed clothes. That's the good news. Reception was a table in the bar, the customer entrance was through a door at the side of the pub. It had seen better days. Looked like it had a sheet of tin fixed to it. Once in side 51 steps to our room. See first two lists if steps in the Main Customer entrance. Information on signing in. This is your room, that is the shared bathroom. The room was devoid of any character, no mirror, one fluorescent tube and one bedside lamp without shade. Mattress that was probably older than me, badly stained carpet, dirty marks on wall, hole in door, paint had peeled from the window. Bed rocked as you got onto it. On leaving we had to put keys in a box. There appeared to be no way of entering the pub to complain about the room.

Came to see an excellent band and to eat. Three of us ordered burgers at £12 each which bore no resemblance to what they offer on their website. No salad or coleslaw accompaniments as stated on the menu - unless you count half an unripe tomato as "salad". No of us could identify the provenance of our buns, which were certainly not the brioche portrayed on their website photography. Burnt on the outside and uncooked on the inside. The only saving grace was the burger itself, which was coarse and tasty.

Popped in for an early dinner during a busy week and what a treat. Friendly barman (maybe manger) ordered a lovely Shiraz and husband ordered an Italian lager (reasonable choice I am informed). Good choice on the menu - not too big not too small - we both opted for the fillet steak and we informed that throughout November it was ‘2 for 1’ what a wonderful surprise and what a lovely meal. Best meal we’ve eaten in Southsea for ages (we are local and eat out at least once a week). We will return. 2 large wines, 2 beers, 2 fillet steaks and trimmings circa 42 quid. Jolly Sailor - jolly us.

Estoy feliz con mi parrilla mixta con gruesas rebanadas de carne mixta y papas fritas. No hay nada malo con mi comida, la porción es hige que he tenido que pedir una bolsa para perros ya que no puedo terminar mi comida. Sin embargo, la hamburguesa no era buena. Recibí un poco de mi colega a quien no le gustaba el sabor de la carne. La empanada de carne no tenía un sabor fresco, y no me gustaba la textura, pero la probé, la comía pero no la volvía a ordenar.

Took advantage of the book in advance 241 offer on Sunday meals. We all had Sunday roasts which were really good value. Big portion size and tasted great. Only downside was no crackling on the belly pork which was a bit disappointing, therefore would recommend the roast chicken instead. Thank you for a lovely afternoon- we plan to come back to try the sharing plates.

I found myself at the Jolly Sailor on a Saturday where I was attending a private function. The location of the place is great - (fairly) easy to park (and not too expensive in the grand scheme of parking charges) and has 2 levels of seating (not sure how a disabled person would get on though as I only saw steps for entry into the place but I could have missed a ramp)

Making our way back to our hotel we popped into The Jolly Sailor for one last drink. The pub was very busy but we were lucky to find a table and seats, near the door but also next to where a band was setting up. We stayed to see if they were any good and this was proven by their opening bars. The band were not young, the singer must be in his late 60's but he threw himself into it, especially with ska. Absolutely brilliant. We stayed for the first set. We would have stayed till the end but had to travel early morning.

Been coming here on and off for years. There is a new chef and the standard of food has stepped up a big notch. Had the chicken tagine and it was lovely. Also nice to see a few more vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. Def recommend the fun guy burger. Lovely staff too. Worth a visit!

I dislike negative reviews but here we go. So a simple pit stop lunch. A beer. A toasted ciabatta. Basic order right? Nope, beer (bitter) was off. Ciabatta had unexpected green bits on top. Refunds given no quibble but is it worth a revisit to get a refund? Nah?

Very disappointed in my lasagne....it was dry...tasteless with floppy garlic bread and let's not forget the salad...salad was just a few limp lettuce leaves Browning at the edges. (didn't pay for my meal though). The Eton Mess was aptly named....it was a mess. Won't be eating there again in a hurry.

Two of us went for an evening meal after visiting gunwharf quays. Had the Stilton & bacon burger and the cajun chicken burger. Food was cooked fresh to order, piping hot and delicious. Would recommend.

We were passing by the area, so booked a table for dinner. What a bonus, it was two for the price of one on a steak evening. Have to say we were a bit sceptical, -----BUT WE WERE 100% WRONG --- YES WRONG. We were absolutely amazed to find sirloin and fllet steak on the menu. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, and the portions excellent. The whole meal was absolutely brilliant. I thought I could eat a big meal, but I ended up totally fullup to the hilt. Shame on me, I could not finish all my chips.

I stayed here Friday and Saturday night, I was booked into single room no but wasn't ready when I arrived so the handsome bar man upgraded me to room 11. Lovely double bed and sea views. (long climb upstairs though). Room had all I required, one plug socket not working but I've reported that. Wardrobe took two days to figure out how to open but didn't really need it as short stay. Central heating not working but had oil filled heater kept the room nicely warm too. Tea and coffee facility. And an iron, didn't see ironing board!. Also had TV, arm chair and bedside table and lamp. The shower and toilet were across the hall way. Lovely shower gets hot quickly. Only thing is that the door doesn't lock so someone could have walked in when on loo or in shower. Next door to these are another set of bath shower and toilet, with lock on the door. Phew. I ate in restaurant on Saturday but was bit unwell. So didn't really get to enjoy the food as much as I'd have liked. Staff were very concerned. So thanks for your help.. (very embarrassing). Food value for money for sure. They had live entertainment on that finished about 11pm. I could hear it clearly and my room was in top floor so maybe not for us oldies that want our beauty sleep. All in all though good value, lovely staff, pleasant rooms. Nice and clean. And by the way towels are massive. Love them.

The cafe is situated right behind the main historic dockyard reception area and has a great view out towards HMS Warrior and Spinniker Tower. Although there’s a large restaurant further inside the dockyard, a number of other cafes are closed due to the current Covid situation but it’s quieter here as most visitors head straight on to the dockyard attractions. Not sure about opening times as it closed for a period in the afternoon whilst we were there - not sure if it was due to staffing or some other issue?

I'm well aware you pay a premium for food at these places, but this is something else. £9 for a terrible sandwich, packet of crisps and a water. Quality of other food is alright, portions are tiny yet price is inflated. Avoid.

We went to Tiger Tiger for dinner with a few work colleagues. It was very nice and the food was good. The cocktails were really nice and the staff was friendly.

We went for a lovely roast dinner on Sunday. Colette served us and she was so lovely, friendly and helpful. She made sure we were ok the whole time we were there which was lovely. Would definitely recommend and will be going back soon!

Would have got 5 stars, but the accessible entrance wasn't working and had to get the attention of staff to help me get in to and out of the place. The staff were very helpful and apologetic.
