Having visited the Blenheim several years each time we have visited the IOW and found it a friendly pub, we decided to pay a visit during our recent stay in Shanklin. We arrived in Ventnor a bit early and when my companion saw a lady outside talking to someone (not the landlady) he asked what time they would be opening - it was 11.55am and they open at twelve- he was told "when we are ready as we are having a business meting" quite abruptly. When we were allowed in the Barmaid served a local before us and she could not even raise a smile. The Landlady was in the back bar and did not even acknowledge us. Needless to say we won't be bothering to go out of out way to visit this pub again.

The pub clearly has a good group of regulars given how everyone seemed to know each other, but we were made very welcome as holidaymakers looking for a meal. Although they do not have a kids menu, they offered to adapt some of the dishes for our 6 year old if we wanted eg make up a smaller portion or miss out an element he didn't like. The food was good; in fact my wife said her pie was the best meal she'd had in our whole holiday so far. Recommended.

Great pub with a wide range of food options and a wonderful specials board. Found this place whilst wandering around the area, not really knowing what to do for the next few hours and we stumbled into The Blenheim. Quiet and small with a few of the locals situated at the bar - we found ourselves a table and got served by a lovely lady - whose name I can't remember. She was very accommodating and filling us with all sorts of knowledge and other places to go whilst in Ventnor. The food was great albeit a little slow for whatever reason, not that we minded because we were on holiday and it was nice to just take everything in for a bit. But I would highly recommend this pub if you are in the area and in need of food and watering.

While on holiday, we have twice visited here to have dinner. The first night, we were told there was no food that night as the chef had cut his finger. The second night - a Saturday, we were told that food had finished at 6 pm - it was 6.30 pm. It is a small cosy pub that has a strong local crowd, and finding a table/seat can be a challenge. The staff are friendly and the drinks are priced on a par with other pubs. Ok, for a quick drink but dinner is apparently not guaranteed.

A Little bit unprepossessing when we first went in, we thought it was a locals only kind of pub. It’s small but once we looked at the menu, blimey this is incredible. Not just standard pub grub either, this could rival the big chains and give them a run for their money in terms of freshness, value and quality. And quantity! I had a fried halloumi starter, at least a dozen pieces all totally delicious, followed by liver and bacon (thank you Alison, the classics live on) and it wasn’t just one tired piece either. Two big pieces of liver and three rashers of bacon, a huge mound of fluffy, buttery mash and lashings of onion gravy. I was in heaven and only gutted that I didn’t have room for lemon meringue pie. This place may look a little jaded but the food is fantastic - and amazingly good value too. What a find.

So I phoned on Friday and got a table for the evening. I went for the Cheesed-off chicken which proved to be delicious! Give me a bucket full of your coleslaw please!! Chips were perfect. All ingredients visibly fresh, tasty and well seasoned. For desert a lemon curd which was nicely presented with fresh fruit and a few drops of lemon and berry sirup (homemade I guess!). Zingy and delicious! Staff extremely friendly, chatty and observant without being overbearing. Never sat more than 10min without someone dropping by to ask whether I/food was ok. The perfect service!
