Went in for a late lunch - great meal mix of burgers and roasts. Was good and enjoyed it all.
Desserts felt a little underwhelming and pricey but the chocolate bomb was quite stunning!
Would recommend and go again!!!

Tried out the brunch at the Jolly on the weekend! Super tasty and great service as always. Had the sweet potato fritter and it was tasty as usual. The added sweetness of the honey with the fresh coleslaw and avocado topped it off. I would have loved two of the fritters as was left wanting more (the only reason for the 4 stars on the food). Will happily go back as the person on the table next to me had the full breakfast and it looked awesome!

Big thumbs up for delicious dinner menu and happy professional service

We were surprised and delighted by the stunning food and service presented by the chef and waiter team for dinner on Saturday at the The Jolly Pub & Kitchen Kapiti.

The drinks menu covered the bases, and the menu offered some very interesting innovation:

Some examples:

A starter:
CHILLI AND GARLIC TIGER PRAWNS: Lychee, mint, spring onion, tandoori cauliflower, courgette. ($22.99)

A Burger:
FRIED PORK SOUVLAKI: Yeast bread, lettuce, pickles, nduja labneh, garlic mayo, fries. ($25.99)

A Pizza:
JOLLY LAMB PERI PIZZA: Lamb, tomato base, mozzarella, onion, garlic, coriander, black pepper, capsicum, mayo, peri-peri sauce. ($23.99)

A Main
PAN FRIED MARKET FISH: Celeriac puree, wakame butter, curry leaves, shaved courgette ($36.99)

I had the market fish - a delicious pan-fried fillet of John Dory, accompanied by excellent bits and pieces.

And my wife had the Rack of Lamb - cooked to the perfect pink. We had a fries to share.

We had 2 wines, 1 beer and a rum. Total cost for the meal and drinksexcluding tip given was $131.

More expensive than we had expected before we arrived, but well worth the amazing tastes, and service delivered.

We will be back.

Wonderful food, reasonable prices. The place was pretty empty when we went around midday on a Thursday.

Went for lunch for my brothers birthday with his 2 kids 5 and 6 and their Mum.
My brother had been before and enjoyed it.
Very impressed nice atmosphere ! The waiter was lovely,funny and made us feel so at ease.
Served ice cold water after being seated tick ,something that is so easy to do but so often missed either all together or warm.
Then refrigerated glasses for our jug of coke another tick,tick.
The food was served promptly kids 1st another thing often missed.
We all enjoyed our meals I had fish n chips best fish I've had in ages.
We'll be back !!!

Me and my mum went here a couple days ago and it was absolutely delicious!
We came on steak night and got 2 steaks.
We didn't get dessert due to it being a little over our budget but I'm sure it would of been fantastic!
If your looking for a delicious meal with excellent portions, this is the place!

Having been in & out of this pub for over 20yrs, there are parts that could really do with an update in the main part of the pub. The food side however is excellent! Definitely worth stopping in for a bite. Very delicious meals that arrive in a timely manner. You won't be disappointed with the menu options either.

The food was amazing and the staff friendly and attentive.
They had a Valentines Day special which was amazingly good value and still offered plenty of choice. Free glass of bubbly was a lovely touch.
Only down side was the state of the toilets... restaurant was fine dining, toilets were local pub on a Friday night.

Beautiful food but sadly the service was bad. Had to keep asking for drinks and even plates! Got given the wrong beer as well, it was corrected but not on the bill. They were busy it was Saturday night but still expected better when you're paying that much. Scallops were to die for and same with prawns. Disappointing creme brulee but the Chocolate bombe was amazing! Would definately go back regardless.
