Quick info
About The Jolly Fisherman
On The Parade in New Romney, The Jolly Fisherman is a pub open daily on a walk-in basis. Sunday brings a carvery with a roast turkey option and roast potatoes when available, served to the table. The rest of the week's meals also come with table service rather than counter ordering. Seating extends outside as well as in. No reservations are taken, so the Sunday roast in particular can mean waiting for a table at busy times.

“Sadly no roast potatoes for our roast. Not a roast then thats my opinion I said I didn’t want anything then and got a refund for my dinner that I didn’t have. Got £2 off the rest of the bill. There was 7 of us. That really was not good enough It is a lovely place staff was nice. Table was booked so should have had food available There potatoes are really nice when available Book early is my advice Book before 3 so not to get dry meat and no potatoes lol. I see plates loaded with so many potatoes Leaving nothing for others. Honestly it’s a nice place Outside seating This post is to just tell people to book early not knocking the place. I still recommend going there. Just book early”

“A beautiful example of what pubs used to be in the best way - friendly staff, honest food, and decor that gave me a flashback to my childhood. This is the opposite from a gastropub. We came for Sunday lunch without a booking and they fitted …”
