Best KPortal Reviews
Very nice and talkative landlady, but as it's a Sam Smiths house just the same old beers and the obvious rules that govern all Humphrey's pubs. Plus side two cask beers on.
Warm & Cosy
Lovely harbour pub serving up delicious filling & tasty meals at competitive prices.
We stumbled into the Jolly Sailors one chilly evening after 2 exhilarating boat trips. Famished, we were lucky enough to bag a fabulous harbour view seat upstairs. The view was wonderful as we watched the evening light wash over the beautiful harbour......
The seats were comfortable & the atmosphere was relaxed.
My meal of steak pie & chips was absolutely delicious. Hot, tasty & great portion size.
My friend also enjoyed her supper.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming.
A lovely experience at Jolly Sailors!
Lady who served us was lovely, the food was fabulous, only got pics of the sweet but had home made Tom n pep soup , small size Sunday lunch and then choc n rasp fondue pudding with custard, 4 of us ate and it was good value for money , would highly recommend if ur ever in Whitby
What is wrong with these people!!! I never saw the stupid rule regarding not being able to use mobile phones or laptop's. I checked my phone and got told off for having my phone out ???? the guy serving was really unfriendly. Such a silly rule. The fire was nice though on a really cold night. The drink was ok and the toilets were clean.
GO TO THIS PUB IMMEDIATELY WITH YOUR PHONE. No card only cash (whyever could that be, taxman?) and they seem to think it makes them superior to ban people from looking (I don't joke) at their phones. I was there alone and minding my own business checking some messages and the woman at the bar told me off. This is genuinely the most absurd and backwards pub in the UK and it must be experienced to be believed. I say again: GO TO THIS PUB WITH YOUR PHONE OUT, IT'S HILARIOUS! Oh and the beer is awful, tastes of soap, the menu looks pretty naff BUT they had a nice fire and the other patrons seemed OK.
Always nice to find a Samuel Smith pub! This one is a bit old-fashioned and boring (if clean) in décor - but you go to a boozer for the beers, and Samuel Smith beers, while not real ales, are always recommended. If you are a lager boy, you will find no less than four different types - of which their "Pure Brewed Organic Lager" is the strongest - and the best by quite a margin. The ale lover will find the "Old Brewery Bitter" to their liking. But Samuel Smith offers draught and bottled beers of ANY variety: Milds, stouts, fruit beers and ciders.
The one thing that's special is the Organic Wheat - the *only* British-brewed German style cloudy wheat beer that actually tastes like a German style cloudy wheat beer! They co-operated with the Hofbäu brewery some years ago, and apparently they kept the recipe.
So if Samuel Smith beers are your thing, you can't go wrong with The Jolly Sailors (often listed erroneously as The Jolly Sailor, singular).
Staff are amazing. The gentleman bar man went out of his way to help me and mum who has dementia and cannot climb the stairs for the restaurant. I will be forever grateful for your kindness. Thank you x
Food was outstanding. Very tasty, good sized portions and nicely presented.
The pub itself is quite small but very clean and it's a lovely old brass and wood designed pub.
Only lost a star for the "Digital Detox" but I definitely recommend this place if your happy to stay off your phone and actually talk to each other ????
Pretty nice pub, good 6oz burger. Doesn't allow people aged 16 to drink. Gave seafood sauce with a burger which was a bit odd.
Edit - as summer 2023 this place is closed and looking for new management. A local tipped me off that the landlord doesn’t treat them very well, and that he is behind the ridiculous no phone rule.
