We’re really sorry to everyone who came to watch Palace vs Arsenal today.
Unfortunately, we experienced a sudden technical outage with Sky across all screens just before kick-off/start of coverage.
We contacted Sky immediately and have been trying to resolve it as quickly as possible.
We completely understand the frustration and disappointment — especially on the final Premier League day — and we sincerely apologise to everybody affected.
Thank you to everyone who was patient and understanding ❤️

The Jolly Sailor has officially entered its ✨eco era✨ 🌱♻️
What started as “let’s build a little compost bin” somehow turned into a full-on garden engineering project after a couple of coffees, questionable pallet decisions, and a lot of “hold this for a second…” 😅🪵
But WE DID IT — the very first Jolly Sailor compost is alive and ready to turn garden waste into beautiful soil for our lovely beer garden 🌿🍻
Huge thank you to Sarah, Alex & Liene for getting stuck in, lifting pallets, pretending to know what they were doing, and somehow not divorcing each other halfway through the build 😂❤️
Next step: becoming South Norwood’s hottest sustainable pub… one banana peel at a time 🍌🔥

🧠🍻 SOUTH NORWOOD… YOUR BRAINS HAVE BEEN ON HOLIDAY LONG ENOUGH.
Pub Quiz is FINALLY back at The Jolly Sailor — and honestly, we’ve missed the chaos. 😅
Every other Thursday from 8PM, Nixie is back with the questions, the laughs, the unnecessary confidence from that one teammate who “definitely knows this one”… and the dramatic arguments over answers nobody actually knows. 🤓🎤
📅 Starting Thursday 21st May
👯 Gather your smartest mates (or just the funniest ones)
🏆 Great vibes, questionable knowledge & proper pub quiz energy
No homework. No pressure. Just pints, banter & the chance to prove you’re the Einstein of South Norwood. 🍺✨
