Ye Olde Jolly Sailor
About
Ye Olde Jolly Sailor stands proudly on the Teign estuary, inviting visitors to experience one of Devon's oldest pubs. Dating back to 1132 as ‘The Ferryboat’, it offers a warm welcome, traditional ales, and freshly prepared meals. By winter its three open fires create a cosy atmosphere, while by summer its two inviting beer gardens and sea views welcome patrons for sunset drinks and live music. The menu features local favourites such as the renowned ‘Fish and Chip Fridays’ and a range of brunch, lunch and dinner options, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten‑free choices. Family‑friendly facilities – highchairs, a dog‑friendly policy and friendly staff – make it an ideal spot for groups, dates or solo travellers. Whether you’re enjoying a pint, a quiz night, a jazz evening, or celebrating a special occasion like a Christmas party (starting at £23 for a two‑course meal), Ye Olde Jolly Sailor delivers an authentic Devon pub experience for everyone.
