The Jolly Sailor, Bursledon
As locations go, you would be hard pressed to beat The Jolly Sailor at Old Bursledon. The pub is right on the water’s edge overlooking the River, with seating along its frontage as well as on a covered wooden jetty. It is the perfect place to sit and unwind with a cold beer, watching the yachts come and go on a lazy sunny day. The pub has recently undergone a refit with a longer more modern bar, but has still managed to retain its olde
worlde feel.
