Have any of you eaten at The Jolly Sailors since it changed hands? If so, what was the meal like?

They say the dog is man's best friend. I don't believe it - how many of your friends would you neuter?

Yes a couple of times EP it was fine, still a good carvery and I was very impressed they were doing a small gluten free menu ( which I need) and last time I had a lovely gluten free chicken pie which was very good

Oh that's good Funkychick, we like going there because we don't need to drive - can walk it, so can have a few drinks too. Thanks.

Hi On Friday evening we had a meal at The Harvester or Brewsters as it used to be near Tesco s.It was really good .The place was really busy so thats a good sign and it is advisable to book as we did because we have not been able to get a table on the last two Fridays.We had two courses with steak as our main unlimited salad and free refills of soft drinks.With a couple of extras added to our main course it cost just under £30 for the two of us.We will definately be returning.

I love Lowestoft but I love Oklahoma more!

The last time we were in Lowestoft some friends took us there and the food was "nothing to write home about"!!Quite small portions and quite high prices!!

I'm inclined to agree with you Meg.
The Harvester did little to impress me.

The only time I went there, I was most disappointed.
We had a gristly piece of steak (very small) and the chips were so cold we had to send them back to get some hotter ones.

Meg, I feel the prices to eat out in the UK are crazy high, and you often don't get free refills on drinks which we are used to here.
Although Freelance had an issue with cold chips (yuck!) I do find that the food in England is usually served hotter than here though. I remember one Christmas party for our English ladies club in Alabama resulted in everyone sending their plate back to be reheated!!!

I agree with you about the prices Eileen.Prices have risen in restaurants here but still not as high as U.K.I have sent cold food back many times.I find Red Lobster always has hot food-never had a cold or bad meal there!

I see some of you dont agree with me but just out of interest how long ago did you eat at the Harvester?We have eaten there some time back before it was altered and we were not very impressed thats why its taken such a long time for us to try it again.Iknow by experience that you can have a good meal one time and not so good another time where ever you eat ,but if the foods not right i would always complain.I spent a good part of my life in the pub and restaurant business so i do know how importent it is to please the public so we will give The Harvester another try soon and report back to l o l

I had a similar experience with the Star Hotel in Yarmouth.
I had an absolutely terrible meal there a couple of years ago and swore to never enter the hotel again.
Anyway got talked into going there last month and the food was superb, OK not Michelin standard but a good restaurant standard. I would recommend a try.

a long time ago we had a family xmas day lunch at the Star Hotel Gt Yarmouth and it was a disaster. We have never gone back, but these places change ownership so often now so you never know till you try if its any good

Last week we went to the Commodore in Oulton Broad and had a splendid meal.
Meal and service was good with very friendly staff. We will definately return.
