In August 2021 Waverley Borough Council approved a planning application to convert the Jolly Sailor into housing, bringing to the end a sad and slow demise of the CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year only a few years earlier.

It had been a cosy pub with a nautical themed interior and a mix of comfortable seating. Simple wooden flooring and an occasional log fire added to this homely interior.

Benefiting from a Greene King Local Heroes tenancy, offering a wide range of beers from local microbreweries, the range reduced when Greene King refused to renew the deal and the inevitable decline soon set in.
