The Jolly Sailors

Voted the nation’s favourite family pub, our 18th century village local on the Norfolk coast serves real ales from our microbrewery Brancaster Brewery, home cooked wholesome food, great pub clasics including Jolly Smokehouse specials, local seafood, 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 that 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', 'Sharpie K12' 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 is a concise cracking wine list, the biggest and best selection of rum on the coast and soft drinks including Norfolk Cordials, which are 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, treasure chest and 'Jolly Roger boat'. There are lots of seating areas and deck chairs for the grownups. Our Eat, Drink and be Jolly themed garden beach huts are an outside service area.

The Brancaster Staithe walk is a contrast of saltmarsh and sailing regattas, wind and woodland. The views from the highpoint at Barrow Common are breathtaking. From here it is easy to picture traders visiting Branodunum, the Roman fort built near the shore to defend the coastline.

The longest of these cycle routes is something to be savoured. With plentiful options for refreshment at both ends of the route, it’s easy to make a day of it as you explore the rolling landscapes that Nelson himself once knew. Much has changed since the Lord Admiral’s day, but it is easy to see why he gloried in being a Norfolk man.

Norfolk Coast Path: Brancaster Circular Walk

Modern Brancaster is a sleepy coastal village, albeit one with a vibrant sailing scene. This circular walk offers a rich and varied past for the heritage explorer to delve into. Why not finish the walk at one of the local pubs, which have a history all of their own?

A 'get away from it all' explorer loop taking you from bustling Burnham Market deep into the Norfolk countryside. Through Stanhoe with its idyllic village pond, alongside Houghton Hall with the white fallow deer herd and then the iconic working Bircham Windmill. A country ride with fine views and the occasional challenging undulation along the way.
