About Jolly Sailor
Jolly Sailor is a British restaurant in Milford Haven, with seating indoors or in a riverside garden that looks out over the estuary. The menu draws on familiar pub dishes, including gammon with pineapple and egg, fish and chips, and a roast lamb dinner alongside lamb tagine. It operates on a walk-in basis and opens daily. A designated dog area sits within the pub, and a children's play area is on site. The garden setting gives the estuary views a direct outlook, whether guests eat inside or choose a table outdoors. The full menu runs to sixteen dishes in total.

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the generous portions of pub food, from a burger and ham, egg and chips to a ploughman's that one reviewer calls surprisingly filling and very tasty. Desserts earn a mention too, with a sticky toffee pudding called the best one diner had ever had and locally sourced strawberry ice cream. Close behind is the setting, with stunning estuary views, a marquee with shaded seating, a large children's play area and a section where dogs are welcome. Staff are described as friendly, polite and accommodating, and one family notes the boy's chicken nuggets arrived alongside the adults' meals. The drawbacks center on how busy it gets. One reviewer finds it hard to get a seat in nice weather, another says young staff are under pressure at busy periods, and a third found it hot inside during a heat wave and wished for air con. Two reviewers booked ahead because of the crowds. One regular reports staff have more than once fitted in a large birthday party two days before Christmas.

“Lovley bar and restaurant certainly one for the sea kings. Food is standard pub grub and it’s hard to get a seat when the weather nice, beautiful spot down there and staff are great , although young staff at busy period are under pressure”
- Ellen Davies
“Venue was excellent, with gorgeous views if the estuary. Staff were extremely polite and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend. Plus the children's play area was a lovely surprise. Book as it gets busy, but worth a visit.”

“We had a fantastic meal yesterday lunch time. We prebooked as I know it can get busy . Great selection of food and drinks . Even do smaller plates for adults who have a small appetite. Friendly atmosphere.”

“We visited after being recommended and im so glad we did! The pub has a great outdoor space with benches and a marquee with seating in the shade. There is a large childrens play area and dogs welcome. The views are absolutely stunning of the estuary.”
- Craven Martin
“Every time we come to Pembrokeshire, we always go at least once, if not twice to the Jolly Sailor. The food is good, the price is reasonable and the staff are always pleasent. There's a section that allows dogs too, for us that was a bonus. We went during a heat wave so it got a bit hot in there though (could do with some air con), but 95% of time, that's not an issue. I would highly recommend this establishment.”
