Made a dinner reservation to take my mum out for a treat the staff were lovely however as we were eating the cat kept coming up to us jumping on furniture while we were eating and just wouldn't leave us alone, I understand the pub is his home however I don't agree with letting him roam around the dining area while guests are eating it put us all off and my partner thought it was pretty disgusting. Food was a little overpriced however we all enjoyed it, the rib and chicken combo could have been bigger, very small portion for the price you pay however the chicken prawn and steak sizzler was lovely as was the bbq chicken melt everything was hot. A little bit of a wait for drinks due to the coke pump not working properly but all in all service was good, just a shame about the cat ruining it for us really.

😍 lovely pub, lovely food, great prices 😀 we always go for a Sunday carvery at The Flying Dutchman whenever we can. 🍧 Even during the week when we have had meals here they have been great value for money and a good size. 👩👦The staff are friendly and professional, the atmosphere and decor of this pub makes it a joy to visit 😀 We will be back ⛵️

Had a lovely carvery here on Sunday. We all enjoyed it. Only 2 slight negatives were that you're only allowed one Yorkshire pudding, and the dessert took a while to come out, but the family all really enjoyed the puddings so it was worth the wait. Will go here again.

Not up to normal standards, One of our group waited over an hour for his meal! Both our Pork's were burnt, Salmon pie had one small piece of Salmon in it and lots of Sauce. To make matters worse all our real ales were like vinegar. Won't be using this place on any other day other than a Sunday until the standards rise again like they used to be! In response to the (owner) my wife left her pork chop and DID NOT eat it as stated. The waitresses response was that as it had been char grilled we should expect it to be partly burnt! The real ale had to be changed whilst we waited as the barrel had already gone before two of our party got their drinks!

Its something of a wonder to me that this pub stays open. IWe have visited several times over the past few years and apart from one summer Sunday, it has always been very quiet, apart from some of the customers. The front bar room is extremely cleverly decorated as the inside of an old wooden ship and I do enjoy that. Since our previous visit a pool table has been installed. With one rare exception, we have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly and that is probably why we have returned every now and again.

Haven't been here for a while (shame on me) However to walk in today & discover the 'glow up' what a surprise the painted ceilings & decor instantly make you feel transported sets the mood for intimate dinning. We chose the carvery & was not at all disappointed especially being a veggie - so much to choose from! Highly recommend & must add what a great venue for events too be it a family celebration or corporate. Staff were exceptionally friendly especially the young man Lewis & the highest standard of cleanliness could be seen across the board from all staff. Thank you for a great Sunday for me & my family.

Went out to dinner tonight, the food was delicious as always , we’ve been here a few times since we moved to the island , but tonight was a huge disappointment , the bar person joked your sitting out side , we might just as well have been , we were seated in the conservatory no heating a draft blowing the decorative window dressing out like they were breathing , our dinners went cold quickly and we walked away like frosty the snow man , it is unacceptable to seat any body out there when it’s this cold , when paying the bar person was rooted to spot, wouldn’t move up the bar to talk but shouted along the bar and wasn’t helpful at all they just smiled and said yes it’s cold in the conservatory , walked out the door to a face of smoke being blown out by an inconsiderate smoker on the doorstep , have to think big time about returning here

Popped in for a last minute late lunch and, despite that the kitchen was about to close, we were made so welcome and they arrange for us to sit in the shade as we had our Mountain dog with us. Ordered some toasted sandwiches and cheesy chips and it was absolutely delicious! The kitchen team delivered our food to the table with the greatest smile. Both landlord and landlady were so lovely and friendly and so was grandad! Will most definitely be our first choice for our next lunch on the Island. This pub is everything a great British pub should be. Thank you

Very impressed with my main meal of Skate wing chips and peas. My party and I arrived at 1700 as we had to catch a crew transfer vessel to 1815! The service was good with very pleasant and professional staff, the food was hot and very tasty, my skate wing was cooked to perfection and a very large portion too. The price for my meal plus coffee was under £25 which I thought was value for money. I recommend the Flying Dutchman.

The Flying Dutchman coped admirably with the almost simultaneous (unannounced) late evening arrival of three boat loads of hungry sailors. We were warmly welcomed and our dinners were just as we'd hoped for. Well done to the staff for coping so well. We've been here before and we'll be back here again. Recommended. Thank you.

What can I say... I haven't been here for years as moved away...what a disappointment. The inside is completely different...not cosy anymore. Bar varnish is peeling, the toilet doors were dirty..it just looks tired and run down. I chose the steak...it had so much gristle I fed it to the cat! Staff were lovely though and very helpful. Won't be going back. I took my son for a birthday lunch... he had chicken wrapped in bacon... it was OK... nothing special. Felt sad for the place 😞

Haven't been here since my younger years when it was just a pub with not bad food. Well things change and the whole experience is completely new The bar is marvellously decorated to look like a ship very inkeeping with the name. The food was very nice and extremely well presented The staff couldn't be more friendly with the chef being happy that you are which was nice to see. The Guinness was cold and smooth 👌 The outside space is very welcoming and could see that being a perfect spot for a sunkissed afternoon. I shall definitely be going back

Our first time in Isle of Sheppy and unsure where to go to eat. Our initial thoughts standing outside this venue was one of thinking 'let's go find somewhere else'. But with two hungry boys and an urgent need for the toilet we decided to just go in and give it a go. I am glad we did 😊. The food was lovely and the staff were lovely, friendly and helpful. They were short staffed so we had to wait for our food but our food was worth waiting for. Is it 5 star dining..no. Was it tasty... yes. The fish was freshly caught that morning and portions were big. The boys enjoyed their burgers. Looking forward to going back in a few weeks

Absolutely lovely food and garden Mixed fish grill was fantastic! Update 16.10.22: Carvery for lunch today. 3 courses for £22. Everything was exceptional. Paté and toast for starter, the paté was super peppery and lovely and smooth. Mixed meat carvery, all the meat was delicious (beef, turkey and gammon), roast potatoes and mash delicious! Good selection of sauces with punchy horseradish. The star of the show was the banoffee tart though. Oh my god. An individual tart with a heavenly filling, some kind of banoffee mousse covered in delicious caramel sauce. Enjoyed literally every bite, and we both finished every single morsel. The waiting staff were lovely, polite and helpful with a smile on their face. 10/10, a must visit, will definitely be back! Most delicious fish and chips of my life this weekend! Lovely crispy light batter on the fish and even the peas were delicious!
