Fleming Arms in Isle of Wight

Lovely home made food, good value with substantial portions, clean facilities, swings and slide for the children. Well located on the main road in Binstead, between Fishbourne and Ryde.

I have ham pie ploughman's  which was nice but I feel over price and hubby had fish pie 🥧 which was ok his words . However the service was very good and very helpful

Nice clean and friendly pub. Went in without booking and managed to have a lovely sunday roast with all the trimmings. Large portion and well presented. Service was good too.

A flying visit for a quick meal. The food is home cooked and really tasty. Sausage and Mash and Lasagne both mega nice. We felt guilty leaving as quick as we did for no other reason than we were both tired after a long day out because the Landlady and her family are really nice. They were so friendly and took time to make you feel welcome and dog lovers too. What more do you need.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Great atmosphere. Landlords always friendly and food very good. Reasonably priced as well with decent specials board.

Now THE BINSTEAD ARMS. Visited the Pub on 16th Jan' for a few drinks with friends. ( Having a catch up with friends down from Suffolk ) As a Local , this was the first time I'd been in the Pub since its change of name. Superb ! Chloe , was spot on. Efficient , Sociable and offered service with a smile. The Guiness was excellent at ( for these days unless your in a W'spoons )a reasonable £5.50 a pint. I had half a dozen. A cold night outside but a roaring log fire warmed our cockles. We didnt eat on this occassion but the food looked superb. Indeed , the Landlord of another popular IW Pub was dining there that evening. The Landlady was very friendly and chatty. Our friends from Suffolk had two Labradors who were made welcome. The Pub itself is immaculate and the Toilet facilities spotless. I'll certainly be going back. The background music was another good touch too , great playlist !

Amazing Christmas Eve lunch with friends. It was our first visit and will definitely not be our last. Dog friendly too so Billy was a happy bunny as well. Lovely owners and staff.

Now the BINSTEAD ARMS - Such a wonderful experience with friends. It has changed so much with new landlords, decorating, open spaces, much more modern, very warm and welcoming staff who couldn't do enough to make our visit special on this Christmas Eve. The Sunday dinners were excellent - very fresh food and a good amount. Other diners there were raving about its new image, music nights and general improvements. We will definitely be back, especially as it is very dog friendly. There is even a photo wall of dogs that have visited., Donna Jones MBE, Ryde

Chloe is amazing. Always serves us with a smile and gives good banter all night long! We love Chloe so much she is the best

I would not normally write a review but how a mixed grill could be so poor I dont know. Not just the quality but the quantity for the money well I am lost for words.

Multiple Ganges of hand, and now name.Poor experiences. Waited over an hour for standard pub grub, and gave up and asked for a refund. Tried it again yesterday.Vile microwaved watery chicken with bottled sauce on top and bacon - supposed hunter’s chicken.Porkschnitzel was dry , no sauce, justpiclrd cabbage and gherkins

Arrived by chance on a rainy Sunday, taken to a table even though we had not booked. Ordered drinks and 2 small roast dinner, 1 beef and 1 pork. Meals arrived in good time and they were so big we queried that these were indeed small ! Best toasties we have had in a long while and we eat out on the Island most weekends. Cauliflower cheese was almost a meal in itself... Well done to the new owners and team

The pub has recently come under new management and besides a makeover inside has had its name changed to The Binstead Arms. Went for Sunday lunch and was delighted with the service and the quality of the food. A really enjoyable experience.

Brilliant service great beer excellent food. We went early on Tuesday evening and we all had fantastic food!! The specials where particularly good!! Very reasonably priced too!! Support your local pub !!

Food was absolutely fantastic! Had a selection of different meals (Chicken burger/peri peri chicken/Mac n cheese/gammon etc. All meats were cooked to perfection! We cleaned the plates. Staff were lovely; helpful and friendly. Prices are very reasonable!!! Only constructive criticism is interior design could do with a boost- but we understand there has been a change of hands recently and this will take time. Highly recommend!!! :) Support your local pub! Fantastic!

Shame some meals been good but last meal was poor It was simple order but they where unable to provide reasonable food we left it Soft drinks at the bar you get charged reasonable price then the older lady charges you double for the same drink I don't want to be negative. I know its hard to turn over 10k a month to pay all the outgoings

Food, service and ambience were all lovely. The place is apparently under new management and they are doing an excellent job. Note that the name of the place is now the Binstead Arms.

Very good pub food and beer. Welcoming and friendly staff, good prices with mains around £10-£12. Recommended!

Visited the Binstead Arms (as it’s now know) for dinner with my family & dog. Lovely pub food with great service - good value as well! Well worth a visit if you’re on the island!

The new owners are doing a great job. We were made to feel very welcome, all staff were great & food really good pub grub. They’ve tidied up the garden too, so lovely to sit out in the sun for a few drinks.

Now under new ownership we wanted to try our local again. Good food, nice atmosphere and nice beer. Couldn’t do enough for us after a misunderstanding with the the meals. I can only hope the people in the area support it and give the new owners a chance to grow the business, it felt like they really want to make a go of it. We will definitely be back. Use your local, or you will lose it!

Great nice real ale nice G&T for the wife Clean an comfortable nice hosts Ant n Sam Got our local back. Please support our local

No menu. no food available . One person at the bar and just one customer. Got the feeling this pub was closing down. It would have been a nice venue at one time but sadly empty and uninviting.

This was a decent enough roast , you have a choice of small or large , in found small was enough . Nice staff .

Excellent place to eat take the family kids always welcome prices for every budget excellent service always with a smile

Lovely clean pub. Food was great and the customer service was outstanding. Prices were reasonable. Being a Saturday afternoon it wasn't too busy, didn't have to worry about screaming kids running around :). Nice to be back in a pub again supporting island businesses. We'll be back.

The food is exquisite, the service exemplary, the venue superb. The whole pub is a credit to the owners, who have totally renovated and improved it. Can’t wait to go back!

Not the best at all. Arrived at 8pm. Ordered our food and drinks and it took over an hour for the food to arrive. Being pregnant and diabetic I really needed some food to keep me going. The food finally arrived just after 9. The...

We were (admittedly) five minutes late for our 8.15pm booking but we were ignored for over five minutes before being seated however the drinks order was taken pretty swiftly. After that it all went downhill…The food order wasn’t taken until 8.45pm (after prompting). 30 minutes...

We came here with friends for dinner on a Friday. The service was friendly, if slow at times, and the menu was really diverse to cater for everyone which was a welcome change. The food itself was good, although the portions aren’t big. Overall, we...

Great food, great staff and great atmosphere. Had pre-dinner drinks in the beer garden before being seated inside. The place is spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend.

First non lockdown birthday in the family for my wife. We met with two other couples and it was just like being normal. So friendly and accommodating, I'm celiac, with a superb new menu. Tapas is a must seven dishes between us all, yummy. Every...

Myself and my partner regularly visited the Fleming Arms prior to the pandemic lockdowns for their tapas menu, so it semed fit to book table for us to have our first date night out after lockdown! It was brilliant, food was fantastic, staff were really chatty and we even met the resident pub dog Maisie! The owners have her downstairs in a pen at the moment to keep an eye on her after an operation on her leg. I've got to say it's brilliant to see them back up and running! They've expanded their tapas menu, and there was so much we couldn't have, we booked a table for the week later! WE CAN'T WAIT ♡♡♡

My first visit since the last lockdown and how nice it was to be welcomed back. The food came promptly and was delicious. All the staff were super friendly; soon the place filled up and was buzzing and in no time it felt like old...

It would have been 4.5 * but… The food was good although service was a little slow (it seems they forgot about our table but no apology forthcoming) with plenty vegan/veggie choices and local produce. But if my dog had undergone a major operation I...

Good food. Service not so good. One lad doing all the work although other staff around doing nothing. Was going to have dessert but waited far to long asked for bill got that quick enough

We decided to have a change so chose the tapas. It was really tasty and filling and excellent value (£22 for any 6 dishes). The staff were really friendly & helpful

Have now visited the Fleming arms three times and have to say what lovely food we have had each time. The covid precautions are very good and we have always felt very safe there. The Tapas menu is very good as is their standard menu....

As always this restaurant did not disappoint. Went for Sunday lunch today. The usual quality food, A combination of good value combined with quality service. The bonus is the “light-bite” pie option which suits my wife.

Very nice meal reasonably priced, though portions were very large. We couldn't finish them the two times we ate here. Staff were friendly and helpful.

We had Sunday lunch here. Food was nice and tasty and portions good sizes. The service was friendly and polite.

This was my third visit and both times previous the food was lovely, sadly, however this was not the case this time. I ordered the sirloin steak with mushroom compote and green peppercorn sauce.The steak was disappointing as it had not rested, however it was cooked well and tasted ok. This was not the case with the mushrooms, they were served in a thin lemony sauce which had no place on the plate and certainly not with a peppercorn sauce.The other meals were average, chicken burger bun overcooked and asparagus very undercooked. There were also edible flowers on the plates that just seemed pretentious. I'd like to add that the service was brilliant and I may return when they bring back the old menu!

It's a shame to write this review as I've enjoyed some good food at this pub especially Sunday lunch but this experience was not good and could so easily be rectified.Four of us dined one Wednesday evening. The starters were okay although not difficult - garlic bread etc. Three of the main courses however were poor. Two orders were for tagliatelle with crab and lobster. The expectation was the sauce would be wine and garlic. It came in a thick tomato sauce which overpowered the crab and lobsteer. When we advised the waitress, she checked with the kitchen and we were told the menu advised a "bisque" sauce. We double checked and it did say bisque but even that is not a thick tomato based sauce. Additionally I had the vegan "curry" on a bed of quinoa. The menu advised "loaded with vegetables". Aside from very little diced carrot and small pieces of broccoli, it was all quinoa. Again, I gave this feedback to the waitress and she advised that the kitchen said that because the vegetables were diced, they were very small. Actually there was hardly any vegetables on the plate and vegetables are probably once of the cheapest things to provide.The service was good but overall we were not only disappointment with the dishes but also with the poor explanations. No apologies or offer of an alternative. With so many good eating places on the island, we are unlikely to return.

Great food, great service and a smashing pint of Islander. Was really impressed with the cleanliness and the Covid-friendly layout. Eat and drink in confidence. Thank you for squeezing in my party of 6 at the last minute. We’ll be back!

Best roast we’ve had for years I had beef and partner had lamb, was lovely and tasty service was superb was just perfect before a long ride back home on our motorbike, we also stopped for a drink day before and service was superb again, I will recommend to all our biking group in the uk

Lovely food. Social distancing handled very well. Comfortable, safe but still very friendly. Well done to the staff and of course the chef. Bravo.

Amazing! This place is handling covid distractions excellently! It’s spotlessly clean and the staff were visibly very busy cleaning down thoroughly after each group left. Great social distancing with lots of tables out of use even though they were already far apart. The toilets were also very clean (and smelled lovely!) and hand gel and anti bac wipes were available. We felt very well looked after! When you add to that stunning food and really happy friendly staff, it’s an absolute winner! We took our 4yr old and she was very well catered for too!

We went as a family of 5 and just popped in to see if we could get squeezed in we were asked to sit in garden . Excellent service from the waitress and the meals were lovely reasonably priced and the icing on the cake were the toilets they were the cleanest toilets I've seen in a pub ever Excellent well done you

What a well organised place to visit.We felt very Covid safe.Eveyone was friendly and welcoming.A huge well done to the team at Fleming Arms keep up the great work.

We have eaten here before and enjoyed this pub as we can walk to it, but tonight was unable to find anything on the menu we wanted to order, menu is very limited and barely any pub classics, so had our drink left and cooked at home, we wee not the only people to pick up a menu then leave before ordering we noticed, shame as nice staff and nice pub.

By far the worst experience eating out on the IOW. The menu lacked classic British pub fare- no fish and chips for my husband. I’m vegan and was very happy to see that fare offered but then when I ordered vegan and my husband ventured that way due to the lack of fish and chips we were greatly disappointed. The food was tasteless and bland at best. Childrens meal were 7£ for a “pizza” which turned out to be a piece of French bread with tomato paste and cheese. The only redeeming item was the Mac and cheese. Overpriced and extremely disappointing.

Visited the Fleming Arms 17 Jan 2020, my first night of moving to the island. My friend and I ordered Sirloin Steak, mine was ok, my friends was completely inedible, a very poor cut of meat, she sent it back as was unable to eat any of it, the item was not removed from the bill, no gesture was offered, so we still had to pay more than £20 for something that couldn't be eaten. The actual restaurant is very nice, warm and welcoming and staff were excellent. Really disappointing, I will not be back!!

Please tell staff, good food but microwaved so extremely hot. Nice little pub though and I was pleasantly surprised.

Very modern interior. Dog friendly. Food excellent. Loved the table service rather than having to queue at the Bar to order.

We visit regulary. Lots of choice for all tastes & appetites.Helpful staff in clean & pleasant surroundings. The Pantry store inside this pub is also a place to visit to find local ingredients.

The food was absolutely beautiful..highly recommend..the staff was on point and very welcoming..will definitely be coming back asap

Loved the Fajitas and great service 🙏 only one comment, it’s too bright - needs to be more ambient feels a bit like office lighting, would be nice with candles on the table and lower light levels, however very nice x

Great place tastely decorated modern feel, good food good service easy parking, prime position for ferries etc, we will be back!

Since the Fleming changed hands I have eaten there frequently and kept meaning to post a review! It is now very popular (rightly so) especially on Sundays - the roast is brilliant! I especially like the fact that some dishes are available as light bites, including the roast dinner. I also love their lasagne! And the Wednesday curry night is also excellent. Yum!

Went on a Friday night, reasonably busy but that did not impact on the service, drink prices average, menu choice very good with additional specials, order taken promptly and food wait only around 15 minutes. All of our meals were a good size and very good quality with no issues at all, waitress was very accommodating and polite, all in all we we were very impressed and would go again.

So we made a reservation for a birthday meal on the 4th November,

Being a party of 12 plus a dog that had a booking at another restaurant cancelled 20 minutes before arrival a phone call to the Fleming confirmed they could accommodate us. We arrived en masse to a beautifully laid table. The food and service was faultless. Thanks so much. We will definitely be back

We had a family meal, the quality of the food was excellent as was the service. The prices are very reasonable as well. They have a little shop selling local products which gives them a nice addition.

Had poor experience here some time ago but noted had been closed and refurbished so thought give it a try and was definitely a good call on way to ferry. Selected the Sunday roast which was well presented with a good range of vegetables and tender cuts of meat. It was a little busy so food to table from order took around 30 minutes but soon passes when chatting away with family. Staff were very accommodating and gave service with a smile. Definitely shall be returning.

Well what a lovely little find this was. Perfect for a beer or two after walk round the woods with our cocker spaniel. The young bar lady was very friendly especially to Brodie who was more than happy for the attention... very welcoming despite our dog and welly boots. We came back the next day to try the food and it didn’t disappoint.. never seen burgers like it and the lasagne was delicious. Thanks for being so welcoming.

First visit here today and we were very impressed with the pub. It’s very well laid out with plenty of space and tables are not cramped together. The staff were all friendly and helpful, even the menus were of a good and clear standard, offering a great choice of meals, we were also pleased to see light bites on offer as not everyone can eat large meals. We had the beer battered cod with rustic chips, peas and tartar sauce, and were not disappointed with what we got, cooked to perfection !

Our table was booked for 8.30 but unfortunately we were ten mins late we did say sorry and they said no probs and showed us to our table. We looked at the menu and special board and decided what we was going to order. We were all chatting as you do waiting for someone to take our order. The lady came over about five passed nine and took our order four starters, four main and four drinks. The lady went and cane back 3 mins later and said because we had ordered after 9pm they was no longer doing starters. We said that we had been waiting for someone to serve us for 15 mins but she wasn't interested and you could see by her face we wasn't going to get any starters what ever we said.

The decor was lovely and had a lovely little farm shop inside selling local produce. However the menu was very limited, no specials board (from what I could see) and no drinks list.

Place has recently been refurbished and also includes a "Pantry" shop selling local goods.

This is a regular place for myself and my wife. The staff are great, the food is great.. all round this place has become a fantastic place to enjoy a meal out or even a fantastic Sunday roast on a Sunday!

Hadn't heard anything about it before but spotted it on our way to the ferry so popped in for some lunch. We sat in the sunshine in the garden with our dog, had good ciabatta sandwiches and beer.

As regular visitors to the Island we were thrilled to introduce some islanders to this wonderfully refurbished pub restaurant.

We popped in last Sunday after a weekend camping as just wanted somewhere for a quick sandwich. I hadn't been in for many, many years as it didnt have the best reputation. Well, wasn't I pleasantly surprised when we walked in! The Fleming Arms is now a fantastic, bright, welcoming pub and the food is great! So great, we've booked in again this evening for a meal as we have some friends down from the mainland for the weekend :-) Massive well done to all involved in making the place what it now is!!! :-)

Really dissapointed. Me and my partner have been going to this pub for years for drinks but we had a roast dinner today and it was awful.. The beef was flavourless and chewy the ‘roast’ potatoes was actually jacket potatoes chopped up we was very dissapointed.

Pleasant atmosphere and staff;-it!s Pub food; but nicely presented and enjoyable;-so would go again;-thank you

This is our local and what an improvement- well done to Lucy and her team for creating a little gem - love the Sunday roasts and can’t wait for the next wine tasting! 🤪

The Fleming Arms is our local. We have used it a number of times over the last few years but stopped due to poor food and long periods when it didn’t open.

We came as a family of 9, including a young child and a dog, and had a fantastic time! The food was delicious - possibly the best mushroom risotto I’ve ever had! - with plenty to choose from. Even for vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free people, there was a whole menu full of options and for quite reasonable prices too. There’s a good playground outside that kept the youngster entertained whilst waiting for the food to arrive (which wasn’t very long), as well as the inside and outside areas both being dog-friendly. A very homely feel to the place, with welcoming staff and a lovely, spacious layout to the whole place, giving it more of a restaurant style than a traditional bar. It also had a little farm shop at the side, but we didn’t look much into it. Overall, definitely a place we would recommend and will come back to if we visit the Isle of Wight again!

First time we have visited the Fleming Arms for some time and had a really good meal. Staff were friendly and efficient and the décor was so different than our last visit. My husband had the Liver and Bacon which was served with mashed potatoes and peas . I had the vegetable lasagne which was probably one of the best I have had. The portions were very generous and despite being very busy (a good sign) we did not have to wait long. The menu's including the vegetarian one looked very good and there is also the "specials board". We look forward to a repeat visit very soon

After a refurb we thought we’d revisit for a Sunday roast. The place looks really nice and open, and the food was really tasty!! Definitely recommend.

We visited for a Sunday lunch get together with family. Every table was reserved when we arrived so I took from that it was popular.

What a lovely lunch. Everything we ate was spot on even the salad which was beautifully presented with a gorgeous dressing. The garlic ciabatta type bread was light and delicately flavoured with garlic and oil rather than dripping with butter as is done in some places. We were fortunate to be able to chat with Lucy and wish her well in her ongoing journey at the Fleming Arms.
