I try to get here with some regularity - like once or twice a year - and they never have been a disappointment. Love the atmosphere and the food has been decent with healthy serving sized portions. Last night was no exception - the seafood soup was loaded with the seafood, the red black and blue was cooked perfectly and the sweet potato fries were particularly tasty. Mother Jessops Bread Pudding is one of he main reasons I come here in the first place and was great as always but, I was painfully full leaving and still felt that way this morning. Someday I will actually get around to trying the Shepard's Pie since that's sort of a signature dish for them. .
The food was great, I had chicken pot pie and my husband the pilgrims platter. Great food and a good price. My only complaint is that it’s small and difficult for a person in a wheelchair to get in and out without moving several people, but at least he could get in.
Awesome Bar, if you are looking for wings don’t stop here! This isn’t our ordinary bar, this is a Colonial style bar, featuring comfort food like pot roast, meatloaf and duck! Prices are very reasonable! If you are into seafood go check out their Steamed Mussels my wife enjoy them! Their fries are great!
I had Pot Roast on a Tuesday! My wife has their Super Pill beer it’s blonde very good! I had their Sparkling Cherry Vodka Cut with Sprite, than to top it off we had Ice Cream and Water Ice both were very good!
Every bit as good as advertised. Hands down the best food and service I had on my vacation. Great atmosphere and decor. Nestled walking distance from the beautiful Delaware River, in old Town New Castle, Jessop's Tavern is well worth the stop. I'd give the food more than 5 stars if Google allowed it!
This is a hidden gem in gorgeous New Castle downtown area. The Shepheard,s Pie and Fish and Chips are award winning and people come from all over the world, for good reason. If you've lived here a long time and never been to the waterfront in New Castle you are missing out. The price point is great and no taxes in Delaware make it even more affordable. Don't even get me started on their selection of beers, lagers, and whiskeys from Ireland. Everything here is amazing. You won't be sorry!
Overall, this is a good place to eat. The crab dip was good but the items that came with it like the hard thin toast , the celery, and the carrots didn't go with the crab dip. The bread went well with the crab dip, but here's the surprise. The bread was great by itself. I would have loved the loaf of that bread with some butter on it!
I was really looking forward to the fish and chips since they say they've been rated number one in Delaware for 3 years. They are totally different than i thought they would be. They were not crunchy at all, but sort of thick crust. Chewy. That doesn't sound good but it was good.
And now for the real surprise. My standout that I ate while I was there were the deep fried cottage potatoes. They were a would recommend! I actually finished them first before the fish because they were so good. I could just go in there and get those and some ketchup and be happy happy joy joy!
And now for the last thing, the bread pudding. I have to say the bread pudding was good with the sauce that comes on it. I took a bite without the sauce, thought it is a little better. The coffee was really good too! My wife enjoyed her salad also.
Wow, great food! Great atmosphere! Step in the door and step back 300 years! The mussels were delicious. The pot pie so savory. Leave 2022 behind and enjoy a meal from another century. Claire and Jamie from Outlander would feel right at home. Easy stop off I-95. If you are traveling north or south Jessop's Tavern is worth the time.
It was so fun to eat at this restaurant!! I would call to make a reservation though. We made a reservation for 5 on the computer and it didn't go through so we had to come back at 7:45. But when we did get in it was such a cool restaurant. The building is several centuries old and they light the candles on your table and the wait staff wear costumes to make you feel like you have stepped back in time. I got the fish and chips which was very good. The fish was amazing. However the fries are thick wedge fries so if you don't like that kind of fries you may want to order a different side. My husband got the pastrami sandwich and sweet potato fries and loved it! They also have great ice cream. Motor oil is a coffee ice cream with drizzles of chocolate in it. Also the flatbread appetizer was really good.
This wasn’t an ordinary dinner. It was an event where the event was the meal. From the appetiser, to the main course, to the desert the food was special. The serving size was generous. I wound up taking home a significant piece of Shepherd’s Pie along with half of my dessert. I have no hesitation recommending Jessop’s. I look forward to returning.
