About Jolly Sailor
On Bramhall Lane in Stockport, Jolly Sailor is a pub serving a Sunday carvery in both traditional and plant-based versions, so vegetarian diners get the same roast format as meat eaters. The wider menu, spanning 18 dishes, includes pigs in blankets served as a side in portions of one or three, alongside coffees such as an Americano. Guests are greeted on arrival and shown to a table, with waitstaff taking orders rather than a counter setup, and the room is walk-in with no reservations taken. Tables are spaced to allow a pram through, useful for anyone navigating the room with one. The pub sits on Bramhall Lane in Stockport.

Customer Review Summary
The Sunday carvery draws consistent praise for its generous, hot selection of meat and veg, with reviewers also highlighting quick greetings and attentive service even when busy. Several single out the waitstaff by name for professionalism and handling dietary needs smoothly. One family noted it gets loud on Sundays, suggesting another day for quiet. One diner, however, described the food as disgusting during a meal with their father.

“Even though the pub was extremely busy and we ordered a lot of food, with a few dietary needs thrown in, the service was very excellent from our waitress Anya and Dill was as spot on with the drinks. The meals all came together and were quality and tasty. A fantastic experience that we will definitely doing again.”

“Visited a few times the last been on Tuesday 4th August at lunchtime. Always a warm welcome and shown to a table with enough room to get a pram round. Dillon was our waiter and was very professional and attentive. As always the food is delicious and generous portions. Can't fault the place. Will definitely be visiting again.”

“We went for a celebration family meal on Sunday and the carvery was delicious, a good selection of meat and veg, all piping hot. Our daughter was happy with her vegetarian choice too. Lovely staff and they allowed us to add balloons and bits to the table beforehand. It was very busy so quite loud but we could still talk. Maybe choose a different day if you want a quieter meal. Definitely a popular place and we'd have no hesitation to return.”
