The Jolly Sailor

The Jolly Sailor is a great 16th century pub, restaurant, Inn and Art Gallery all in one! So something for everyone in this delightful Suffolk village near Aldeburgh.

Best of all is the food, locally sourced, freshly cooked with a menu of unspoilt favourites.

Children, animals and well-behaved humans are welcome; we have a lovely big garden which when all the planting is completed will be a haven for birds, bees and butterflies. There is a children’s play tower and we offer camping in the orchard.

The Jolly Sailor is an excellent base for walkers, sailors, fisherman and birdwatchers, painters, photographers or those simply in search of solitude and the sound of the sea under a huge Suffolk sky.

From the garden and orchard are views of the marshes and saltings, located next to the working quay on the River Ore, opposite Orford Ness and close to the marshy bird sanctuary Havergate Island, where avocets breed.

So do join us for Log fires, unbelievable food, dominoes and shove-ha’penny or just read the papers and relax.

Great Food
• Food can be enjoyed in the main bar, the Snug, the Chart Room which is decorated with maritime charts, the lounge or the newly opened Thames Room with its recently exposed 17th century flooring, or, of course the Garden
• Current menus can be seen on our website (see link above) which emphasise fish from our local fisherman, Pinneys’ and Binsteads who land their catch on Orford Quay. There will always be beer battered fish & chips, sea bass and in season Mussels, Crabs and Lobsters.

The east wind may blow but the Jolly Sailor winter warmer menu will keep the cockles of your heart warm and everything else in between.

So join us for roaring fires, wonderful food and good company and a game or two to keep the little grey cells alive…
