Jolly Fisherman
Jolly Fisherman
I'm part of the Mac's Classic Pubs family!
A McMullen pub since 1918 and originally purchased for the then princely sum of £2,100 Great British Pounds, this picturesque pub nestles by the River Lee, just away from the centre of St Margarets, near Ware. It’s perfect for dining alfresco on the patio at the scenic waterside or, when things turn chilly, for warming your cockles by the roaring fires.
We serve Great British pub food, delicious Sunday roasts, daily changing specials, small plates, scrummy desserts, homemade soups all washed down with locally brewed real ales, cocktails, your favourite wines and fresh coffee…Yum!
The team look forward to seeing you soon.
