Families, muddy or sandy boots and muddy paws welcome in our pub which is at the heart of village life in scenic North Norfolk, just across the road from Brancaster Staithe harbour and beach.

 

There is a great selection of real ales including ‘Brancaster Best’, ‘Oyster Catcher’, ‘Malthouse Bitter’, ‘Lucky Lobster’, 'Nelson's Shantymen', 'The Smuggler' and ‘The Wreck’ from our very own 5 barrel Brancaster Brewery which produces small batches of top quality ale using the finest local Maris Otter barley grown at Wells-next-the-Sea. There's a concise eclectic wine list, the biggest and best selection of rum on the coast and soft drinks including Norfolk Cordials, made locally with fresh natural ingredients. 

 

Relax with a real ale or drink in front of a roaring fire in winter or enjoy warmer days in our fun enclosed garden, great for the kids with its giant children’s play area, treasure chest and ‘Jolly Roger boat’. Eat, Drink and be Jolly says it all.

The Jolly Sailors is also the home of Nelson's Shantymen who are keeping the 'Shanty' songs alive. They practice here on Monday nights 7pm. Join us for a fun singalong. See more Jolly events in What's On.
