The Jolly Roger is a cosy neighbourhood restaurant & pub halfway up a hill in the quiet Hillview area of West Singapore, set against a backdrop of lush, green rainforest. The name comes from the founder's home county of Cornwall in the UK — 'pirate country' — and British comfort food sits at the heart of the menu, from the much-loved all-day Full English Breakfast to the English roast, bangers and mash and fish and chips. The bar pours a solid range of fresh taps including Pilsner Urquell, Paulaner, Guinness and Brewdog Punk IPA, plus premium bottled Corona and Heineken, with a wide choice of wines, spirits and an extensive cocktail list. Happy hour runs daily from 4pm to 8pm, and all prices are NETT with no additional ++. Grab a seat out front to watch the sun set over rainforest-covered hills (dogs welcome — there's a water bowl), play the free pool table, or catch live sport from rugby and EPL football to World Cup, F1 and tennis. Open 365 days a year, it's regularly featured in the press as one of Singapore's favourite neighbourhood pubs.
The Jolly Roger is a cosy restaurant & pub halfway up a hill in the quiet, residential Hillview neighbourhood of West Singapore, set against a backdrop of lush, green rainforest. The name is a nod to the founder's home county of Cornwall in the UK — "pirate country", as the team puts it — and that British heritage runs through everything here, from the taps behind the bar to the home-cooked plates coming out of the kitchen.
Regulars call it the West's best-kept secret, and the pub has been regularly featured in the press as one of Singapore's favourite neighbourhood pubs. It's the kind of place where the super-friendly staff and regulars make you feel right at home, whether you drop in for an afternoon or settle in for the whole evening.
Beer lovers are well looked after. There's a solid range of fresh draughts — Pilsner Urquell, Paulaner, Guinness and Brewdog Punk IPA among them — alongside premium bottled favourites like Corona and Heineken. Beyond the beer, the choice opens up to a wide selection of wines, spirits and an extensive cocktail list.
Happy hour runs every day from 4pm till 8pm, all year round. And in a refreshing change from the norm, all prices at The Jolly Roger are NETT — no additional ++ tacked onto the bill when it arrives.
The kitchen serves delicious home-cooked meals and tasty snacks, headlined by the amazing All-day Full English Breakfast, available daily. The full English stacks British Cumberland sausage, middle cut bacon, your choice of fried or scrambled eggs, brioche, seared tomato, hash brown, sautéed mushrooms and baked beans — and there's a plant-based English breakfast too, built on avocado, asparagus and mushrooms.
Beyond breakfast, the menu reads like a tour of British pub classics. The English roast comes with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and thick gravy; bangers and mash pairs three Cumberland sausages with sweet onion gravy; and the fish and chips is a straightforward breaded dory with straight cut fries and tartar sauce. Burger fans can choose between a wagyu-patty house burger, a grilled chicken thigh burger topped with a sunny side up egg, and a plant-based version. Rounding it out are pastas — from bacon carbonara to spaghetti vongole — salads, pizzas, a long snack list and a chocolate fudge brownie with ice cream for dessert.
Outside seating at the front of the pub is the perfect place to relax after a day's work and watch the sun go down over rainforest-covered hills — and it's dog-friendly, with a full water bowl waiting for anyone bringing their four-legged friend. Inside, there's a spacious pool table that's completely free to play, all day, every day.
Sport is a big part of life here too. The pub shows live action including rugby, EPL football, the World Cup, F1, tennis and more, making it a natural gathering spot for big match days.
The Jolly Roger is open 365 days a year: Monday to Thursday from 4pm till midnight, and Friday to Sunday (and public holidays) from 11am, with a recent notice adding weekend openings from 10am — handy if you're chasing that full English early. Happy hour, as ever, runs daily from 4pm till 8pm.
Whether it's a lazy weekend breakfast, a sundowner pint during happy hour or a big match with friends, The Jolly Roger delivers a genuinely relaxed, unfussy neighbourhood experience in one of Singapore's greenest corners.
