Perhaps this should be Part 2 but as the first visit was essentially a swift pint we will call this our first proper visit to the Jolly Sailor.

Anyhow, we spent a relaxing morning in Hamble itself trying to find a suitable BBQ site for later in the week when we will meet our friends Bob and Mandy. We think we have found the perfect spot.

Lunchtime arrived and we had already booked a table at the Jolly Sailor which seems standard practice in the Covid-19 world we live in today.

The Jolly Sailor is rather aptly located on Lands End Road near Old Bursledon. Situated down a set of steep steps the Inn is nestled against the side of the River Hamble estuary.

The view is stunning, all the more so under clear blue skies and temperatures peaking in excess of 25 degrees.

What better way than to spend the afternoon drinking cold beer with our good friends Chris and Alison.
