Warm & Cosy
Lovely harbour pub serving up delicious filling & tasty meals at competitive prices.
We stumbled into the Jolly Sailors one chilly evening after 2 exhilarating boat trips. Famished, we were lucky enough to bag a fabulous harbour view seat upstairs. The view was wonderful as we watched the evening light wash over the beautiful harbour......
The seats were comfortable & the atmosphere was relaxed.
My meal of steak pie & chips was absolutely delicious. Hot, tasty & great portion size.
My friend also enjoyed her supper.
The staff were so friendly and welcoming.
A lovely experience at Jolly Sailors!
Lady who served us was lovely, the food was fabulous, only got pics of the sweet but had home made Tom n pep soup , small size Sunday lunch and then choc n rasp fondue pudding with custard, 4 of us ate and it was good value for money , would highly recommend if ur ever in Whitby

Always nice to find a Samuel Smith pub! This one is a bit old-fashioned and boring (if clean) in décor - but you go to a boozer for the beers, and Samuel Smith beers, while not real ales, are always recommended. If you are a lager boy, you will find no less than four different types - of which their "Pure Brewed Organic Lager" is the strongest - and the best by quite a margin. The ale lover will find the "Old Brewery Bitter" to their liking. But Samuel Smith offers draught and bottled beers of ANY variety: Milds, stouts, fruit beers and ciders.
The one thing that's special is the Organic Wheat - the *only* British-brewed German style cloudy wheat beer that actually tastes like a German style cloudy wheat beer! They co-operated with the Hofbäu brewery some years ago, and apparently they kept the recipe.
So if Samuel Smith beers are your thing, you can't go wrong with The Jolly Sailors (often listed erroneously as The Jolly Sailor, singular).
Staff are amazing. The gentleman bar man went out of his way to help me and mum who has dementia and cannot climb the stairs for the restaurant. I will be forever grateful for your kindness. Thank you x
Food was outstanding. Very tasty, good sized portions and nicely presented.
The pub itself is quite small but very clean and it's a lovely old brass and wood designed pub.
Only lost a star for the "Digital Detox" but I definitely recommend this place if your happy to stay off your phone and actually talk to each other 🤣
Had a great evening here the staff lovely the drinks not expensive we found a nice quiet corner to sit in really enjoyable evening.
Great proper pub on the harbour. Its a Samual Smiths pub too so some great beer and good prices. I did get told off for tagging my beer on untappd though, as there is a mobile phone ban but I didn't mind.
Love this pub, friendly staff cheap Taddy Lager and nice food...👍
Went for Sunday lunch absolutely Gorgeous. Lovely fresh vegetables, beautiful roast pork and crackling! Creamy mash, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding. Presented beautifully and red hot

The location was really nice. The gammon was good but a little salty.
Was not possible to pay with credit card, maybe was only an issue of that day
Food gorgeous and great price in an otherwise very expensive seaside town. Staff super friendly. Drinks lovely usual Sam Smith's. Love the Sam Smith's policy of no phones they're the worst things ever invented. Also love the no swearing policy. Look no further for a reasonably priced quality meal and drinks.

After new ownership of this classic British Samuel Smith pub me and my partner fully enjoyed our time here. I like the idea of the no phones as it encourages conversations between the party you go with and others in the pub. The conversation between the whole pub made for a lively atmosphere which helps get to speak to everyone after being locked up from covid.
The food was spectacular and at a very good price. We both had the garlic breaded mushrooms to start with followed by scampi and hunter’s chicken for mains. Unfortunately I was too full for a pudding otherwise I would have had one as the selection looked delicious. Can’t wait to go this Sunday for a Sunday dinner now! The service and the meal was by the landlord which was lovely too see and speak too. Very friendly man made us feel very welcomed. Thank you Ryan!
The bar staff was very friendly and helped us ‘adjust’ to the pub offering similar drinks to what you normally drink. For example a double for instead of Carling or Fosters. The staff are very polite about the no phones and swearing as they understand people get it wrong with plenty of warnings given.
You should definitely visit this pub and give it a chance. As I will be doing again soon!!!

Absolutely amazing experience. The lady and the chef was super nice, also the bartender was very helpful.
The food was delicious aswell and would recommend. Love the no phone rule
Will definitely come back again x
Great traditional pub with delicous food and wonderful atmosphere! The breaded scampi and sticky toffy pudding were amazing! Loved the no phone policy and no TVs - a rare opportunity in nowadasy busy world to enjoy good conversation without distractions.

In a nutshell this is a Samuel Smith's Pub, yes unfortunately that means still no phones allowed and while that can have an effect if you're going in for a pint by yourself it also can bring out opportunities for conversations with other people. It does feel this is more of a local's type of pub however that I feel adds to the uniqueness of the venue considering how busy Whitby can get!
Had a nice chat with Jude who was behind the bar, the staff work incredibly hard while having to put up with a lot of nonsense from their higher ups, so If they tell you off for using your phone or for swearing don't have a go at them and cut them some slack, they are only doing their job!
Personally I would say Still some of the cheapest pints I've seen especially in Whitby when I expected everything to be expensive especially pints! £3 (As of Writing) for a pint of Double Four Lager? Yes Please! It is my personal favourite out of the Samuel Smith's range with the Organic Lager (£4.20 as of Writing) a close 2nd! Definitely will come back here when I return to Whitby next time.
P.S I find it rather funny and contradictory you can use your phone if you are making a payment by card (Yes, They accept Card Payments now) where as you can't actually use your phone for any other reason, might want to have a think about that one and take it into consideration!
