Situated on the A149 coast road at Brancaster Staithe, The Jolly Sailors is a long-established North Norfolk pub, updated by the same owners as the nearby White Horse. It offers great food and ales at good value prices and is very family friendly.
Housed in a white painted façade with blue door and windowsills that you can’t miss, the inside of The Jolly Sailors is rustic and warm, with plenty of wood and stone. It is also smart and cared-for, giving it an appealing vibe that elevates it to a higher-than-average-quality traditional eating pub.
The bar offers a wide selection of real ales and guest beers. Being the associated pub of the independent, family-owned Brancaster Brewery, The Jolly Sailors has many of this breweries’ ales on tap. View tasting notes and a Brief History of the Brancaster Brewery.
If ale isn’t your thing, there is a comprehensive wine list, with choices by the bottle and glass and there’s always a good cup of tea or coffee on the brew.
Outside is a large, leafy beer garden for warmer days with an adventure play area that would occupy even the most energetic child.
Food-wise, you’ll find home cooked pub food (including a plethora of local seafood) as well as delicious stone baked pizza (an unusual twist) that you can eat in or takeaway. Perfect if you’re holidaying nearby. There’s a Children’s Menu, a Daily Specials board and lighter options for lunch.
A sign outside reads “Children, muddy boots and dogs welcome” and this pretty much sums The Jolly Sailors up. Unpretentious and open to all, it has been providing warm hospitality to friends and strangers since the 18th Century. Still true to its traditional roots, it is also firmly 21st Century, focusing on good quality food, drink and service. Among other publications of note, The Jolly Sailors is featured in the Michelin Eating Out Pubs Guide 2011 and The Good Pub Guide 2011. Rightly so.
Bar open 7 days. Mon-Sat 12noon – 11pm, Sun 12noon-10.30pm.
FOOD SERVED Everyday 12noon – 9pm. See menu boards for Daily Specials.

A 3-star, 2 AA Rosette Inn on the A149 coast road in Brancaster Staithe, The White Horse is undoubtedly one of the best places to drink, dine and relax in the region.
It is located on an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), with some of the most stunning panoramic views across tidal marshes and sandy beaches that you’ll see anywhere in North Norfolk. Sunsets seen from The White Horse terrace (and rises as well if you’re an early bird) are truly dazzling.
A coastal pub built in 1934, The White Horse has been refurbished and tastefully styled with chic, modern décor that perfectly complements its seashore setting. Plenty of natural materials and nautical blues, greys and whites create a calm, welcoming environment.
The bar at The White Horse is well stocked with real ale on tap from the associated Brancaster Brewery (view tasting notes and a Brief History of the Brancaster Brewery), along with other local brews including Woodfordes Wherry, Adnams Bitter and changing guest ales.
A well-chosen wine list offers choices from around the world both by the bottle or the glass.
There are plenty of non-alcoholic choices too, including a variety of teas and coffee. We like the wonderfully refreshing ‘Norfolk Orchards’ assortment, with locally produced Cox apple juice and non-alcoholic Pippin cocktail (local cider also featured, which is alcoholic. As cider should be).
For the peckish, a bar menu features delicious local, seasonal fare all day long.
Dining is an unhurried experience, intended to be savored. Food can be eaten at the bar or, if you want to dine al fresco, there is the landscaped sunken garden.
Breakfast menu available 9-11am.
Bar Menu available 11am-9pm.

The bar is open for drinks 11am-11pm (Mon-Sat) and 12Noon-10.30pm (Sun).
