Lovely cosy pub with garden just off the centre of town. Always a selection of real ales and good food, though table size is limited.

Had a roast dinner here on Sunday from the car show on the front. Amazing food & lots of it. Very friendly staff 😊

The best Sunday roast anywhere in my opinion. Booked a table before arriving for the classic car shows because having been before knew how good it was. Spot on again today, beef so tender and vegetables really nice.

Lovely pub with a nice and well kept patio in a quiet area, perfect if you want to have a drink and relax. The lady who served us was very welcoming , was a pleasure to have a chat with her. I will definitely come back next time I will visit Ryde :)

Went for the burger night whilst on holiday, burgers were gorgeous, you could tell they were handmade and cooked to perfection. Garlic bread was divine and very garlicky which for me, as a garlic lover was great! Will return again next time we are back on the island

Luckily for us The solent was one of the nearest pubs to our hotel and we found it early in our visit. It's an old and traditional pub with good food and service. It's also Camra rated and serves some good real ales. The barman asked if I was a Camra member (I am) to give me a discount. My wife and I visited The Solent several times during our IOW long weekend. We enjoyed the garden and the friendly atmosphere in the bar.

Fabulous Sunday roast - we arrived about 1pm on bikes, starving. Able to get sorted within minutes - outside table in the sunny but sheltered (windy day) beer garden. Lovely friendly service and wonderful roast, two of us with a roast and a pint each bill was about £37 would recommend and would come here again.

One of Ryde's best kept secrets, the Solent Inn is a gem of a traditional pub with a lovely garden, covered outdoor area and french doors leading into the lounge bar. Worked great as the start and end point for the Harriers trail run and I was priveleged to provide live music entertainment from the bay window area through the lounge bar into the garden. This is where they have the renowned open mic on Thursdays as well.

We had our Civil Partnership reception here at the Solent Inn. Sonia could not have done more for us, she planned it with us meticulously and when we arrived wow was the buffet table laden with such delicious goodies……from the Asian sticky sausages to the veggie curry that Ross had prepared three days earlier to let it mature, it was just all fabulous. We had the snug for a smallish reception of 25-30 guests which includes the three outdoor tables under the canopy which is absolutely fab, plenty of sac3 to love about inside and out. I would highly recommend anyone who needs an intimate venue to book the Solent Inn without a doubt, if you want quality food, great ales, super service and a friendly environment then this is the place.

A lovely place for a Sunday Roast. Fantastic service, very friendly and accommodating staff. We ate here today whilst visiting the Isle of Wight. In our party was 2 adults, 4 children and a dog. We initially sat outside but the lovely ladies behind the bar said we were more than welcome to sit inside with the dog. Our food was served very promptly and was very well presented and it was beautiful. Even the children said what a “lush” roast dinner it was. Would definitely recommend and if we visit the Island again we will most defiantly return. Thank you so much 😊

The number of times I had to walk past The Solent on our recent holiday without going in doesn't bear thinking about. It looked like such a warm vibrant place that I made it my holiday mission to pay this pub a visit. We came late afternoon so probably not as vibrant as it undoubtedly would have been later, but we enjoyed this friendly welcoming place nonetheless. The real ales I had, Hobgoblin Gold and High and Dry were both well kept and therefore tasted as good as they should. I'm sad I couldn't have visited more and spent a longer visit.

Nice little pub off the beaten track if you don't want the throngs that go the the big busy pubs in Ryde. Nice little pub garden with seated tables & umbrellas for shade. Had the loaded fries with pulled pork & cheese which were lush & plentiful. Was only £11.35 for them plus my pint of Stowford. Lady behind bar with purple hair was very welcoming and helpful. Good service too and will definitely come again. Easy 5 🌟.

We visited for a few drinks whilst in Ryde and was not dissapointed. We managed to get a table in the garden which was lovely on a sunny day. Unfortunately we were not able to get any food as due to Covid they are only serving food between 12 and 3pm. They only have 2 full time chefs and as the lady behind the bar said, they need a break too! Both inside and outside of the pub were really clean and nice. Toilets clean. Sanitizer stations throughout. Phone chargers for rent. Staff very welcoming and very nice atmosphere.

Stopped for a cream tea which the wife enjoyed. Usual 2 scones provided with jam and clotted cream and a good pot of tea. They normally do Gluten Free cream tea but due to high demand had sold out of GF scones. They were however able to supply GF cheese scones so I had a savoury version of cream tea, 2 GF cheese scones, a tomato chutney and a cream cheese. Was very nice and would recommend.
