The Jolly Boatman has undergone some big changes in the last few months. A change of ownership has brought with it some fresh new ideas and touches that we hope customers old and new will enjoy. The new team are headed by experienced operators with two other hospitality businesses and a wealth of enthusiasm and expertise. All of the team at The Jolly Boatman would like you to come and see what’s new and get to know them. Come and sample our new menus. Have a look at our new Lunch and Light lunch menu designed for those of you who like to enjoy a quick light bite or for those of you that prefer a more leisurely three course selection, we think we have something for everyone. Now on offer on a daily basis is our 'Specials of the Day' menu to accompany our Lunch and Evening Menus. This will bring changes and further options to our regular delicious menus offering you something different on a daily basis. Our fine selection of locally sourced British Roast Dinners is now served from 12 noon on a Sunday to 5pm so there is no need for you to rush to enjoy our unique traditional Sunday Roast and many other special dishes menu that are now available.
