Jerry and Pam are new to the pub trade. They took over Porthcawl’s oldest pub last year and it’s turned out to be everything they were hoping for and more.
Running a pub had always been Jerry’s dream but it was one he never thought would be realised. When he heard about an opening at the Jolly Sailor in Porthcawl, the town he is originally from, he set out to get it! The picturesque pub, which is steeped in history, is a ‘proper’ old fashioned pub and one Jerry felt was perfectly suited to him and his wife.
The pub is enjoying a real renaissance since Jerry and Pam took over. The couple has introduced great home cooked food and a range of real ales. And they always make sure there’s a friendly face behind the bar.
Thanks to Jerry’s efforts in the kitchen, the Jolly Sailor is fast gaining an excellent reputation for its traditional pub food. Hearty and home made classics, cooked by Jerry himself are available every day, with Sunday lunches proving the biggest draw.
Jerry says: "We’ve put a lot of work into making the pub a success but we’ve proven that you get out what you put in. Having our name above our own pub door has proven to be a great decision."
