The Jolly Sailor - Bridgend

Nice wee pub and staff polite. Unfortunately on our first visit when we went for lunch. I asked if we ordered food at the bar or table service. The lady said at the bar. When I come back to bar to order oh sorry, we just stopped. We stop serving at 13:45 could they not have told me this 10 minutes ago at 13:35 when I asked for a menu and where to order. Obviously not!

We visit the Jolly quite often as we live 10 mins away , always a Lovely friendly welcome , good size dining tables and a very cosy feel , not too big, great menu and very efficient staff . Sunday lunch today was tasty , well presented using quality produce, tender meat , fresh veg and tasty gravy . Mint sauce and horseradish on the table ready . Nice desserts offered with cream or ice cream. Booking is essential and a deposit to book is required

Stunning fish. So lucky to have line-caught sea bream/ dorada cooked to perfection in lime butter. You can’t have this quality at this price anywhere else. Truly amazing. The staff are lovely. Highly recommended

What an incredible, traditional, village pub with great food and wonderful staff! After moving to this area recently, I, a gay man with 3 dogs, have received the most incredible welcome by absolutely everyone who works and frequents this place. I can honestly say that I have utilised this space for all it has to offer, from drinks, to off the cuff culinary nourishment, which isn’t always easy as a vegetarian, and I have loved every moment and taste! I have introduced many of my friends to this place when celebrating and not one of them have ever been disappointed, in fact, they have all commented on the cleanliness, the efficiency and the quality of everything they have experienced! Thank you so much for your consistency, your acceptance, and your continued quality in everything you do, you’re all awesome!!!

This pub is fantastic - the food is delicious, and the staff are welcoming. I visited on Wednesday night for dinner and the quiz, and had an enjoyable evening. However, I was disappointed to see a table being rude to the staff. Despite their bad behavior, the staff handled the situation well. It's unfair for this great pub and their hardworking staff to receive negative reviews due to the actions of a few unruly customers.
