The Jolly Sailor pub and sports bar in St Albans sure lives up to its name. All who come here leave with a smile, having enjoyed the fantastic atmosphere, delicious traditional food and the famous real ales from a variety of sources, periodically updated to make sure the guests have something new to try on a regular basis. Kicking back and relaxing is exactly what The Jolly Sailor was made for - and it's what the locals and visitors appreciate the most about it.
Easy to find in the Stonecross area, the Jolly Sailor is unmissable with its whitewashed exterior, huge plant pots and announcement boards. There's even a small outdoor area to enjoy when the weather's pleasant enough. Inside, the guests are invited to find their favourite table and chair and sit down to enjoy a great meal while watching live sport. Eating at The Jolly Sailor won't break the bank, but will definitely leave a good impression. Whether it's nibbling on some tasty starters like garlic mushrooms or fried chicken wings... or indulging in that all-time favourite jacket potato with a choice of toppings, the wholesome fare here will leave anyone fully satisfied.
The Jolly Sailor’s hearty mains menu is put together with the hungry in mind. There's beer battered cod served with peas and fries, and 8-ounce rump steak accompanied by fries and onion rings. And because there are few things more British than Yorkshire pudding, The Jolly Sailor serves them in an appropriately giant size, in a vegetarian and meat option, with mash, peas and gravy.
Great food, great ales, and great atmosphere – it’s all there, at the Jolly Sailor, St Albans.
