Jolly Farmer

Lovely atmosphere, great food and dog friendly!

We visited the Jolly Farmer two days before Christmas at lunchtime. We hadn't booked and it was very busy, however the staff assured us that as soon as a table was free they would let us know and they did - we didn't have to worry about keeping our eyes open for a table. The tables are set out in little rooms/alcoves - we had two tables of two in an area of three tables and a Christmas tree, with a bowl of water for dogs underneath it. I had the roast turkey and the rest of the family had the burgers. The standard of food is more than pub grub, probably more gastro pub food! We also tried a side dish of bubble and squeak. The food was lovely and filling. The dog was made welcome by staff and customers alike. After eating we went for a walk on the common land behind the pub. The outside garden looked attractive and is probably packed in summer - no one out there while the snow was on the ground!!
