Excellent setting by the river. Staff super friendly and helpful. Good choice of food, and dog friendly as well.

I have only recently started to stay in the area, as my girlfriend lives here.I live in Chelmsford and frequent many pubs and restaurants there, but since I am spending more time in St Margaret's, The Jolly Fisherman, is by far the best pub in The Village, the staff, the atmosphere and the food by far are miles ahead of the other 2 pubs.Big shout out to the staff and McMullen's Brewery, you have nailed it...Best wishesAdrian Martin

Always had a good meal here. Standard menu but the staff are efficent and always friendly. Gets busy but never had to wait excessivly for service.The outside area and area by the river will be busy come summer but there are.loads of places to sit.

Went for a birthday lunch, and to be honest I was a complete pain when it came to the booking....made so many changes right up to the day of the booking! However, everyone at Jolly Fisherman was great and accommodated all the changes and were fabulous!Food was great and service was without fault...definitely recommend paying a visit!!

Very disappointing food. The people who rated the food highly in previous reviews must have zero taste.Broccoli was mush, the gravy was watery, and the stuffing balls were like rubber.Everything has been microwaved, and the Sunday roast is super bland.Won't be coming back.

Stepped in for Saturday lunch with wife. Very warm welcoming place with attentive friendly staff. Decent food too. Will visit again when in the area hopefully with some sun to enjoy the outside tables by the river. Hopefully they can keep up with the standard.

For those contemplating going to this pub/restaurant, I would highly recommend it on multiple levels.Booking a table was simple and efficient.We booked a table for 6 (2 adults, 4 kids).The tables were well paced and had plenty of room to eat and have your drinks on the table without compromise.Service was first class. Lovely staff. They couldn't do enough for us all.When I say all, that included our dog.One of their USPs is they are dog friendly.So even the dogs got room to lay down next to everyone that had one, while they ate their food.The food was a very good standard for what is essentially a pub. The food was eaten by everyone. Not a crumb left ( always a good sign.)We had burgers, curries, battered fish and chips. All were delicious.The deserts were first class's too.We thoroughly enjoyed our evening there and will definitely be back.It was packed, so a booking of a table would be advised to avoid disappointment.Parking: It's directly behind the pub.Kid-friendliness: They were very welcoming of the family
