The Jolly Scotchman, Sleaford in North Kesteven

We decided to head out to eat to save anyone cooking, so we popped to the Jolly. Ed accomodated us even with Xmas parties being held, the staff were helpful, friendly and attentive. The food was piping hot, fresh, and served very quickly. Thank you for looking after us so well, Lora.

Great atmosphere, alright pricing for drinks and food, only issue was the people at the front of house shouting and screaming, and going to the toilet or car park every 15 minutes. I’d recommend adults coming but please be advised of the swearing and provocative language used by customers if you are going to come with kids. The owner seems to just sit and do nothing about it.

Enjoyed such a lovely 😍 evening, very good quality, highly recommended. .most certainly will be returning in yhe new future.

It was enjoyable for me to go to the pub for food. With a pleasant blend of background music and conversation, the ambiance was welcoming and comfortable. I chose from a variety of filling, traditional foods on the menu, and my dinner was made and served quickly. The laid-back atmosphere was enhanced by the staff's attentive but unobtrusive behaviour. With delicious meals and a comfortable atmosphere, it seemed like the ideal place to relax.

Good fun was had by our team, & we also answered a few questions also. Staff kept us well watered. Might well visit again on our next UK visit when we visit Mrs B's family.

We had the Tex-Mex sharer this evening with a side of boneless wings, the food was really lovely, and the service was very good, friendly, attentive staff without being overbearing. Thanks

First time coming and wow the food is out of this world great value and great taste service is excellent as well highly recommended to go

Stayed one night at the local Travelodge so needed somewhere close to eat. The food was excellent and great quality, and a surprisingly good price. Special shout-out to the staff who looked after us - Laura, Charisma, Melissa and Matt. Great service from all of them and we'll certainly be back next time we're in Sleaford.

What a disappointment, The meal was in small portions I had Hunters Chicken ?, Never had this with a bed of onions this was served on a very hot skillet so as I was eating this it was still cooking so by the time I got to the other small piece of chicken it was hard. Come on Basic cooking skills needed. Most of the staff were good. Will not attend here again

Well where shall I start? Ah the good bits. Nice size carpark for it's location, very good size garden/play area at rear of pub. Decent seating area outside front of pub. Goes downhill after this - firstly, decor in main bar badly needs updating - looked a bit like a 'spit n sawdust' bar area. Not welcoming at all. Onwards then to the restaurant area. Admittedly, there's PLENTY of tables/seating here. Not much to write home about but there you are. The. Meal. Highly uninspiring menu, looks a bit like a fast food joint in fact. Husband had Hunters Chicken with onions, which he confirmed wasn't that good, but it was edible. Now to my choice. It was a Mushroom and Garlic flan. Well it was Mushroom anyway, I believe the garlic escaped as there was NO obvious garlic in it! I mentioned this to the waiter that asked whether all was ok, and he said 'because they're from an off site supplier, they have no control on ingredients'. So, in a nutshell, NO - we wouldn't return to this pub, for what we purchased, it wasn't good value and was highly underwhelming. Oh and 'Jolly Scotchman' - don't bother answering this offering to speak with them because its the very same comment you leave for everyone that shows displeasure in their meal. It's probably typed by the less-than-happy older lady that serves behind the bar ...

This pub is great for a quick spur of the moment ' let's go to the pub ' situation the staff are so friendly and the food is absolutely awesome xx

First time here today came for family lunch. Staff very friendly and meals were good value for money. One tip i would say make sure you are hungry very filling meals 😊

Went for the euro finals and was a great atmosphere , food was excellent and came out very quick with a lot of customers in the venue , would recommend for anyone in the area or passing though

Granddaughters 16 birthday meal all the family once again happy with the food and the staff were great once again couldn’t be happier

Just stopped off on our way home from a day out with our neice as she wanted her dinner (age 2 years). The staff were lovely and helpful, and nothing was too much they were happy to help, and we have never been to this pub before but will return our neice loved her dinner and pudding.

We stayed on the car park with our van like we did the year before as was visiting family, this pub is fantastic, great landlord ed and fabulous friendly staff, food is to die for and not expensive came out quickly and fresh, loads of beer to select from and if your into sports there are a few big tv inside plus a big undercover area outside with tvs as well, as I said a great friendly atmosphere, clean and tidy all areas especially when busy, great restaurant dining are and superb choice of food, nothing is too much trouble for the staff to help you with, very quite at night so got a really good night's sleep, will definitely be back again soon

The best food and service we have had were are visiting in the area and and definitely will.be returning, food was hot and very fast and friendly service

We didn't book ahead but we're surprised by just how many tables there was inside. The menu was also a lot larger than we expected, service was friendly and swift. Drinks can't straight away soon followed by the food, all in all very good

We go here alot for all different occasions, this is for a good reason not just the food . The staff are fabulous especially Chloe who is always accommodating, always going the extra mile for us, she is always smiling & happy , she is backed up by several other members of staff who are also very friendly.

Went to the jolly with my partner and two kids and had a great welcome from the host that made my experience great from the start, food was quick and great quality and drinks were a great price..would definitely be back again and staff were so friendly.

Had booked to meet a friend at this pub for lunch. Checked when booking that the pub was dog friendly, but on arrival was told that my dog had to be taken round the back to sit outside. On a January day where the temperature was 4 degrees, clearly this is not a dog friendly pub. We left and found a genuinely dog friendly pub nearby instead. Not impressed at all with the Jolly Scotchman and will not be returning!

I love this place. My family choose The Jolly Scotchman for all our family get togethers. The food choice is excellent and the standard of food and service is exceptional. Nothing is too much trouble for their always friendly staff. Look forward to the next one which will be soon.

8 of us went today for the festive menu , excellent food and fantastic service , great portion sizes and fantastic value Thanks Edd and the team

Nice friendly welcome. Steak night was perfect. Good price, plenty of tasty food on a nice hot skittle. No gristle on steak, lovey sauce. Would deff visit again on a Monday. Staff very attentive.

Went for lunch yesterday with 4 generations of family. Everyone absolutely loved the food. Was cooked to perfection, good sizes and brilliant prices. We were all very surprised at the quality considering the low prices. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming, even with 8 of us turning up with no reservation. Nice clean toilets and lots of parking. Really couldn't find anything to fault it over. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a good meal.

Very disappointed no dogs allowed in bar it was fine on the day won’t be going there when it gets colder

Went with the intention of having Sunday roast but that menu wasn't starting until the following week, so chose something off the menu. I had Kajun Chicken and my wife had scampi, which was very nice, we then had a milkshake each instead of dessert, which again was lovely.

myself and my mrs came for dinner tonight and i can not fault anything, the chef callum made my steak to perfection, amy the assistant manager couldn’t have been more helpful if she had tried and matt on the bar was extremely attentive. i can be extremely awkward with what i want and how i’d like it and not one thing was missed that i asked for!! i would 100% recommend to anyone i talk to

As always excellent food and service. Can not fault Adam who looked after our table this evening. Lovely family friendly atmosphere

Staff are great, friendly and professional, reliable, quick and happy to help with anything and have good patience, food was delivered as expected with good quality, only downfall was the entitled customers that like to complain about nothing; staff handled it all proficiently.

First visit, excellent service, delicious hot skillets of food. Already looking forward to our next visit. Fully recommend

Staff are friendly and the food was excellent. Overall my partner and I were very happy with our experience

Tasty food, good speed of service , friendly staff. Wings & sauce were very tasty, signature southern fried burger was great

Food is great and a good price but more important always friendly staff that are obviously happy as they seem to stay for years just a lovely place with great atmosphere

Called in for ate lunch. Service prompt and pleasant. Food slow cooked rib of beet and chick mix excellent and great value. Staff all helpful and cheerful.

Fantastic pub, great atmosphere and very accommodating. Having to serve a group of 26 with no delays was outstanding. The service was amazing! A fantastic size beer garden which all the kids enjoyed, plenty of space and playing areas for them. We enjoyed it that much 16 of us returned the following day with no booking which they managed to squeeze us in. Next time we in the area we will return. Thank you once again

Honestly best chefs out of any Greene king in the country. I work all over the country and eat in greenkings 4 nights a week. Only one I’ve been in that render the fat on steaks correctly. Not had a single bit of bad food. Super friendly staff also

Highly recommend. The staff are lovely and so accommodating to our needs. Nothing is to much. They always happy to go the extra mile be it defrosting a pudding for someone who likes it cold and not hot. To finding a quiet space for us...

Excellent food and lovely delightful staff very professional friendly and a very welcoming venue offering a large variety of different drinks and meals it’s the best place for value in sleaford for money I would highly recommend a visit.

Unfriendly staff, look like they don’t enjoy their jobs. Bar full of dirty glasses. Waited for ages to be served, bar staff uninterested. Poor customer service. Was eventually seated, hardly any availability on the food! Was advised to go via app and order, very limited...

Awful. Website said dog friendly, dogs only allowed in garden did not say this on Website. Long wait for food, delivered cold sent it back no apology. Would not not recommend. Food not of a good standard. Disappointed

Omg. Don’t even bother. Amateur food. Asked for a steak which hasn’t been rested and was pouring out water. Steak wasn’t cooked as per request. Amateur cooking and an alright pub!

Popped in for a quick drink and ended up having some breakfast ‘TEXAN BEEF TATER TOTS’. Very good ! Service, Food and drinks- A*

We had a couple of evening meals and breakfasts here. Great choices on the menu, food was delicious and the service excellent. Very friendly.

Great food, good beer, very friendly staff and very good value for money especially with a BOGOF deal on Thursdays. Cheers Ed and all the staff

I’ve enjoyed the Jolly as a local regular for a couple years now. The food and drinks are reasonably priced, the staff are friendly and professional, and the overall atmosphere within are great!

Just had another lovely meal at The Jolly Scotchman, great food and superbly looked after by Laura who was very friendly and thoroughly helpful throughout, thank you Laura.

Visited the Jolly last week with some friends and can't recommend enough! Food was quick and excellent quality. Staff really friendly and knew alot about the menu and what to recommend. Large drink selection on tap and spirits. We will definitely be going back!

Went to the Jolly recently with the family whilst visiting the area, great food and a really nice atmosphere. Faultless visit.
