    We go here fairly often when visiting my dad in Gosport. Never had a bad meal. Service always friendly, food good quality and variety. Bonus for us is how dog friendly it is and the lovely views from the windows.

    The Jolly Roger is a nice pub overlooking the water. The food is not particularly memorable but reasonably acceptable. Rather overpriced for what you pay. The atmosphere is pleasant enough and the staff are nice. However..today was a fairly busy lunch trade and we arrived at 1pm and left at 4pm as the service was horrendously slow. We only saw two very young staff in all the time we were there and suspect the serious delays were in the kitchen. Everything took an age as there was obviously a need for more staff. This is a pity and they need to sort this out as I doubt we will be back. We had invited some friends to lunch and it was a bit embarrassing in the end

    Sorry, not great. Very average. We have been to some good pub restaurants recently and this wasn't one of them.

    Myself, my Husband and our Daughter went to the Jolly Roger for our Sunday Dinner. My Husband had a roast which looked lovely and he really enjoyed! I had a chicken burger and our Daughter had Homemade Pie. All the food was really nice and served hot and in good time. The staff were friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. It was a really nice meal and we would definitely return!

    We love the location, and views-but the food took a long time to come out from ordering, almost an hour. The lady that served us was lovely and we could see that they seemed understaffed, but it has unfortunately put us off returning on a weekend. There were still tables free so it’s not like the restaurant was fully booked. Food was nice though and reasonably priced.
