Clive Thompson left this review about Jolly Sailor
A Charles Wells pub with four hand pumps but a strange pricing policy. Everards Equinox at 4.1% was a wallet busting £3.20 whilst the 3.8% Eagle IPA was £2.80. Perhaps like Fullers they charge a premium for ‘non-house’ beers, either way it's an expensive place to drink. It’s a decent enough pub with a comfortable lounge bar to the right and a larger and livelier public bar with a number of TV’s showing live sport. Quite a diverse clientele and a friendly place if you don’t have a locals complex.
