What User likes about The Jolly Sportsman:
We visited for lunch on a very hot September day, just checking it out as were staying very close by. We had a light meal, sat under a pergola in the lovely garden. The welcome and service was excellent. We had the Summer Consomme , Garden Pickles, and Foccacia. All delicious. Cant wait to visit again when we travel South. This was the highlight of our week.

What Fiona T doesn't like about The Jolly Sportsman:

Barely luke warm mushroom soup with two very small pieces of bread, no butter and limp salad leaves floating on top of the skin which had formed on the soup. Overcooked fries. Altogether unappetising and totally overpriced. Should have stayed at home in the garden and opened a tin of Heinz with fresh crusty bread from local... View all feedback.
