The Admiral

OnlineVisit website ↗

Traditional local pub in St Helier offering real ales, pub food and live sport; part of the Randalls pub group.

The Admiral sits at the top end of St Helier, a short walk from St James' Church, and has built its reputation simply by being a dependable local: oak beams, bare floorboards, and a welcome that doesn't try too hard. It is part of the Randalls group, which has run pubs and restaurants across Jersey since 1823 and now counts 21 venues on the island, from country taverns to city bars. The bar runs a solid, no-nonsense line-up: Guinness poured properly, Stella, Heineken, Fosters, John Smith's Smooth, Strongbow and Cruzcampo alongside wines and spirits, with a kitchen that serves good pub food at fair prices lunchtimes and evenings. The Sunday Roast has earned a loyal following and the Admiral's Curry Club is a fixture worth knowing about, while match days bring the pub to life on its HD screens showing Premier League football, Six Nations rugby and Champions League nights. There's a dartboard for a casual frame and an enclosed beer garden for quieter moments. The Admiral shares its gift voucher scheme with the rest of the Randalls group, including its sister pub Les Fontaines Tavern in St John. Buying through picked.je takes you straight to Randalls' own gift card page, where you pick an amount, add a personal note, and the card can be spent at The Admiral or any of the group's 21 venues island-wide, valid for a year from purchase.
