Experience the Charm of Good Food & Cold Pints


Nestled beside the canal, The Jolly Boatman is a cosy, character-filled canal-side pub known for its warm hospitality and delicious food. Whether you’re popping in for a pint in the garden, sharing a meal with friends, or enjoying our popular Sunday Carvery, you’ll find a menu full of seasonal favourites and daily specials made with locally sourced ingredients. With a crackling fire inside and open-air seating outside, it’s a welcoming spot all year round. Dogs are always welcome, and our relaxed atmosphere makes every visit feel like home.
