Award Winning Pub Brancaster Staithe
Award-winning and voted the nation’s favourite family pub, our 18th century village local on the Norfolk coast serves real ales, home-cooked wholesome food, great pub classics including Jolly Smokehouse specials, local seafood including Brancaster Mussels when in season, stone baked pizzas and ice cream from a garden beach hut and not forgetting the largest selection of rum on the coast!
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, and ‘Jolly Roger boat’. Eat, Drink and be Jolly says it all.
We also extend the welcome for our four-legged friends with blankets and treats as well as lots of attention and love from the team!
Food and Drink
A wholesome menu is served every day from noon to 9pm.
Including delicious pub classics, cracking curries, our famous stone-baked pizzas, local fish, SHELLFISH and Tom's BRANCASTER MUSSELS, when in season.
Not Forgetting, Chef's delicious puddings.
All of our dishes are created by our head chef Nick Ramsay.
Nick is a gentle giant from London and has family links in Texas, which is why he is the king of low and slow cooking on The Jolly Smokehouse produce. He loves good honest food, that packs in flavour and doesn’t want anyone to go away hungry. So you are in for a tasty treat with generous portions from his kitchen.
Nelson's Shantymen
The Jolly Sailors is also the home of Nelson's Shantymen who are keeping the 'Shanty' songs alive. They practice here on Monday nights 7 pm. Join us for a fun sing-along.
