The Three Bishops in Isle of Wight

Stood at the bar and totally ignored by the bar staff. Waited over 15 mins and not acknowledged once. Made to feel very uncomfortable so left and spent our money elsewhere. We own a holiday home on the IOW and will not return to this unfriendly pub

Fantastic take-away pizza!! Last night getting home late and feeling cold and tired I stepped out of my box of how I operate in my life and decided to order some take-away food …. After ordering I then had to face the elements outside of heavy and torrential rain my car was stuck in the garage not working so I was walking to the pub from the edge of the village and as I marched down to collect I had serious doubts as to my choice of supper arrangements …. By the time I had walked back to my home through the constant down pour I was irritated with myself being semi damp /cold and Very hungry. On opening the take away box I was almost overwhelmed by the delicious aroma &nestled inside the warm box was the most beautiful looking margarita pizza it was hard not to pounce on it! I I was pretty ravenous! that first bite was everything I hoped for and more! Wow thank you so much three bishops!! How have I lived in the village for four years and not-realised what wonderful take away fare you provide -silly me for missing out!! But you dear review reader do not have to go order your take away as soon as you can - this collect menu is cheaper too but NOT inferior in any way….. on the contrary it’s so delicious and to be able to sit in my living room to eat good tasting and ready to go food is a luxury - I live alone so this is a rare treat for me! I found the staff kind and warm when they handed over my order on collection - which had me me feel so much better about myself …mymind set being “I’m a Lonely old lady who has nobody to eat with most of the time so a welcoming smile is like standing in sunshine - and worth so much as a well being service!!

We visited here for Sunday Lunch. DO NOT GO IF YOUR ARE NOT HUNGRY. The triple meat roast was enormous and absolutely delicious. We were stuffed but our plates looked like we had eaten barely anything. Staff amazing, food amazing, band amazing, After a soso expensive visit to red lion in freshwater this was so welcome!!!

Lovely village pub in Brighstone serving great food with a smile Good size portions and great tasting food ,especially the sausage and mash and the sticky toffee pudding Well worth a visit , see you again next year😀

Having pre booked a table, no one was aware of our reservation. The waiting time for food was 45 mins, not great when we booked for 19:30 The bar staff were miserable, not a welcoming experience for tourists.

Booked for a 50th birthday well in advance shocking is the polite way to describe it. Took 3 and a half hours to deliver the meals, spread out over the period. Last meal was chicken nuggets and chips, ordered at 18:30 delivered at 20:30. Manager had to go and cook due to staff shortages, ran out of wine glasses so has to re use glasses all night. Food was mixed some ok some poor Worst pub experience in a long time visit with caution oh unless your a local and you will be fine

Very disappointed 😞 with lack of gluten free options 😕 staff seemed unaware of choices 😕 have been here before, 4yrs ago, was very impressed 👏 sadly could not recommend on this occasion

Three hungry travelers let down by local fish z& chip van (misled by Google) happened upon the Three Bishops. It was an oasis of calm order and most importantly food! Warm welcome. Excellent menu. Helpful service. We had the hand formed steak and sake pie, chips, peas and gravy (I’d have liked the gravy served in a jug), crispy fish cakes with chips and kids baguette pizza. Followed by adult & child warm cookie dough (both servings were probably the same size, but different shapes, the adult was supposed to have biscoff sauce, but it was not noticeable) and amazing cherry sundae. Attentive service with a smile. Good service. If we were local we’d be returning soon!

We visited Sunday 23rd June and the food looked delish , so we decided to go for my husbands birthday on the Monday 24th. The food was awful. Firstly yes I should have complained, I usually do if things are not right, but it was our first holiday since I’ve just had a brain tumour removed soto be honest I couldn’t be bothered, however, you shouldn’t need to complain when your paying for something. I had fish and chips… fish well overcooked , batter really dark in colour, fish shrivelled up . Tinned cold mushy peas. My husband had chilli beef pizza. This was a bought in margarita pizza with I strip of meat fried to an inch of its life on every portion, no chilli. I will not go back, I would suggest going further up the road to “The Wight Mouse Inn “ food fantastic.

Thoroughly enjoyable lunch . Extensive menu with availability of smaller portions. Food was lovely. Great service, very welcoming and helpful staff. Definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely lunch, we had a BLT, chicken wrap,a frittata. Plus yummy puddings. Really nice sitting outside, clean tables, good service.

First impressions of the pub were run down, the lady’s behind the bar were really nice- we ordered food for 4 people close us nearly 100 quid, we weren’t happy with the food so we thought we would say something. The manger came over and said we were in the wrong for complaining and she had tasted our food she was very rude and unprofessional!! Never experienced such a thing even the locals say avoid the food! AVIOD HERE IF YOU CAN!!!

Lovely village pub in the heart of Brighstone village, good beer great food and the blonde girl behind the bar is my favourite! We love Brighstone, also we always have a good night and good food! Thank you the three bishops

Every table we tried (4 in total) was dirty. I could only order a side of “Skins-on Chips” as they couldn’t confirm if the food on the menu contained garlic, which I am allergic to. I accepted the fact that I would have to make do with this. However, when the side arrived, it was not Skins-on but what appeared to be skinny fries, which I’m not a fan of. On a positive note the member of staff behind the bar, was very polite.

Very poor, menu looked good, but fresh beer battered fish,it was not, pollock, poor quality, no taste, cod was unavailable as it was still defrosting, home made steak and ale pie! No pies tonight!i scampi was very poor quality and overcooked, would not recommend or go back.

We had lunch at this lovely pub yesterday. We've been many times over the years whilst visiting the Isle of Wight and it never disappoints. The food was absolutely lovely. Freshly cooked by the owner's daughter, who is obviously very good at what she does. Great service from the very pleasant owner and very generous portions. Clean and tidy tables and excellent menu. A lovely beer garden in nicer weather too.

We were given a few recommendations for places to eat on the island including here but it was disappointing compared to the others so I can only score an average. Despite there being few people eating the service was very slow and the food itself was just okay being a little overdone

Food was fine/good, but what made our lunch enjoyable today were the staff. We had 3 different people serve us today behind bar and from kitchen and every one of them were friendly, polite, helpful and welcoming. Made it a very pleasant experience. Thank you

I went to the Three Bishops with a friend to have a catch up, we like to try different places and pubs on the island so we thought we would give the Three Bishops a go. It certainly didn’t disappoint. We were greeted by a lovely young woman who appeared happy to see and serve us and was very attentive to our needs and requirements throughout the evening. It wasn’t very busy, but there was still a great atmosphere. The pub/restaurant boasts excellent parking facilities, a nice outdoor area and a beautiful rustic interior. It’s exactly the sort of place you’d expect to find somewhere like Brighstone. The food: prices were very good and the food was amazing. We were both incredibly impressed by the quality. My friend mistakingly ordered a vegan burger, but he said you would never tell the difference. He said it was delicious and that he would certainly order it again. I ordered the Stilton and Garlic Mushroom burger and I must say, it’s one of the best I’ve eaten on the island. Fresh and homemade. I have no complaints whatsoever. A great evening in a great pub. Would recommend.

I had booked bedroom’s for my children, partners and grandchildren, excellent accommodation, reasonable price, for 3 nights. I had booked an early dinner in the Bishop’s on the Saturday, the booking was for 30 people mostly from the IOW, my brothers,sisters and family. The food was excellent and service as well.There was a live band playing later, again excellent. We had a great weekend, Tracey and her team were the best I’ve experienced in years, Thank you all.

We spent a great weekend for a birthday meal/celebration in this lovely pub. Were looked after superbly by Stacey & her team.

We braved the rain and floods !! To get to the pub … quiet time as the weather was dire and it’s January!…one of us chose pub classic ..scampi and chips … great home made chips 👏👏👏 and I chose Vietnamese prawn curry (never had it before but like curry !)… and it was delicious … lovely little pops of flavour from pomegranate seeds and spring onions slivers …it was so good … highly recommended .. and mother and daughter team were a delight ❤️

Me and my partner went there for a rare date night,Food was great can't fault it. Table wasn't ready when we got there, and we had booked a week earlier, Table service was terrible, no cutlery, my partner had to go find some, also offered no condiments, it's a shame that the service let it down, don't know if we'd go back 😒

I ordered the Beef Roast. £15.50 + wine It looked okay when it arrived. I was taken aback by the big amount on the plate and then got the realisation of ‘oh its one of these meals’ probably microwaved in parts :( sadly the food and gravy was cold and tasteless which was odd because it looked like it was going to be really tasty. Left most of it. Sorry would not order food here again.

With the menu changing seasonally, plus the regular pub favourites often with a spicy twist or kick on offer, whatever you prefer, it’s hard to find fault with both the friendly & amenable service nor the carefully prepared gastronomic delights. I ordered the Korean Sesame-fried Chicken Burger, asked for the Satay sauce instead of the regular spicy sauce served with the dish & opted for the Salt & Chilli Chips instead of the regular fries. Needless to say, my eyes were rolling back in my head with the taste sensation! Thanks to Tracey & Steph (behind the bar) & Jason in the kitchen! Be back soon!

Cosy, clean, well decorated and welcoming pub. Unfortunately service was chaotic. Rarely someone behind the bar, food took over 1 1/2 hrs to be served, with no prior warning that this would be the case. Only 1 chef, rushed off his feet. Food from the 'A la Carte' menu was mediocre, bland and poorly presented - not worthy of the description of 'pub grub', and certainly not worth the price. Such a shame as the Three Bishops has so much potential. Disappointed to see from reviews that this wasn't a one off, hopefully they can up their game.

fantastic stay. beatiful accomdation fantastic good wonderful land lady and staff. lucky enough to be there for some excellent live music. locals very welcoming. we were sorry to leave. we will be back soon.

I booked this hotel / pub as it had good reviews on the booking site. I was more than a little disappointed! My room was good and was warm, on a very cold night, although the bathroom was freezing a the heated towel rail wasn't working. The evening meal, was a disappointment. The steak was over cooked, the chips were starignt out of the bag and not well cooked. Service was poor despite there not being many in. After waiting for several minutes at the bar ti get served, no bar maid, i was told by one of the regulars, it would be quicker to go in search of the bar maid than wait. in the end one of the locals, actually phoned the bar maid to tell her there was a customer waiting! Breakfast was included in the room price. I was told 8.30-9.30am for breakfast, leaving me enough time to get the ferry back, if I left at 9. Someone eventually turned up at 8.45!! The man just said, oh she was supposed to be down doing the breakfasts at 8.30. I had just enough time for a quick cup of coffee and a slice of toast, eaten walking across the car park!! I won't be staying again!!

We stopped in for lunch having read the reviews, a lovely friendly pub looking absolutely fabulous with all the Christmas lights and decorations up and the fires burning on a chilly morning. We ordered at the bar and were greeted with a wonderful warm friendly lady all the drinks were delicious 2 pints of cider and a whisky and lemonade. We ordered our meals 2 steaks and crispy king prawns and chips. The meals arrived after 10 minutes. The steaks were cooked beautifully the crispy prawns were extremely crispy so mum just ate the prawns after taking the crispy bits off!. The lady asked if everything was okay and mum said it’s too crispy for me but I’m okay, the offered a replacement but mum said no I’m full . So the lady asked if she wanted some ice cream or a drink on the house so mum had the ice cream which was lovely. Overall a really nice lovely pub where customers really do come first. We will be going back just not for the crispy prawns!. The steaks were delicious Thank you for your hospitality.

Lovely pet friendly restaurant with excellent food. Staff were friendly and service good. Let us run a tab for meal and drinks too

Nothing wrong with the location of this charming village pub .I really wanted to love it. The staff are friendly and welcoming too. Unfortunatley the food was a big thumbs down. We chose from a very limited lunch menu. The beer battered fishfingers with bloomer sounded lovely but when it arrived it was a dry stack of stale sliced packet bread with some flat, slightly chewy battered fish between the layers. The chips were ok but had a slightly old taste. The whole dish was very dry and not fresh enough, like some thing made 2 or 3 days ago. The hummus and halloumi wrap was another choice. The halloumi had a deep fried or oven baked coating which was very hard and gritty, the hummus tasted strange and the wrap itself seemed stale. Again quite dry. For a small limited choice on the lunch menu, such as simple wraps I would expect them to be easy to get right. So we left feeling disappointed and will try somewhere else next time.

Excellent lunch and thanks for all lovely staff for Excellent service I well recommend this pub. Hope to see them again soon

Booked a Sunday lunch, when we arrived we’re told it’s that table right next to a pool table with people playing i ask for another table which was ok, we ordered our roast beef & chicken which was a tough slice of beef and two tiny dry chicken thighs which had a big bone no meat, my husband had beef and pork tough bee and a fatty square of belly pork swamped in Luke warm tasteless gravy roast potatoes were frozen as was the Yorkshires stuffing ball was not cooked inside plates we cold as was most of both of our plates

Had a lovely meal on Friday night & wedding reception was also nice We also came for Sunday lunch today really nice. Only criticism is the band played next to bar and you couldn't hear when ordering drinks/food. Sunday lunch was also nice but it...

We went to The Three Bishops for lunch. First the barmaid took ages to actually serve me, she was busy tidying the ,empty, tables. The cutlery was bent and there were no napkins. My husband had steak. I had chicken and ham pie with buttery...

After selecting from the menu a medium stake for me and chicken pie with mash for my wife we waited whilst listening to two different brands of music being played, one from a radio in the kitchen which had its door propped open by a...

Lovely pub in a fantastic setting. We stopped for lunch which was great value for money. The staff were very friendly and we will stop here again.

Had a very good pub meal here. Food well cooked and presented. Staff friendly and helpful. Good selection of ales. Plenty of outdoor seating

I stayed for 5 nights. The room was lovely and clean and a fantastic breakfast was freshly cooked to order each morning. Meals in the pub were delicious and the Sunday Roast was excellent. The staff were very friendly and Stacey the landlady went out...

Literally the worst service ever! My family and I arrived without a reservation and were given a table in the ‘kids’ area. There was no ambience and the acoustics were poor so it was noisy. We ordered three mains and a starter to come altogether....

We stayed for 1 night at the Three Bishops, the rooms were very clean, spacious and well decorated. The food was great. Nice and friendly staff. Would recommend and would return visit if travelling back to the Isle.

We waited for nearly an hour and a half, and the chips were old and tepid, my daughters pizza caused her to throw up half an hour later and my side salad with ceasar dressing comprised of 2 naked salad leaves. Horrendous!! Never ever again

Looks a nice place but the owners need to have a serious look at the staff numbers we waited nearly 2 hours for food with no explanation and only an apology once we pointed out we waited for 2 hours on top of that we...

Food was average for the price and not as described. We waited 1.5 hours for it as well. Complained about it to no avail and not offered anything as compensation. We’ve been coming to this pub on and off for years and I’ve never felt...

Stopping off on the coastal walk and ended up having a lovely dinner here. Welcoming and relaxed vibe, and sensibly priced tasty food. Namaste!

We first visit the three bishops 2 years ago. The service was poor but the Sunday roasts were (in our opinion) the best on the island, so it was worth the extra wait. Sadly of recent, the food has gone down hill, despite this we...

Amazing food at three bishop's, pork tomahawk steak was very good indeed, lovely public house and great service all round

Not a very nice lunch fish was very well done also the chips the steak sandwich had more fat than meat, then I was over charged which they knew they’d done I had to ask for the money back that they had over charged. 3...

My family and I have just had the worse meal we've had in a long time! We phoned to check in advance whether they could accommodate our sons dairy and gluten allergies and were told that the menu could be mixed and matched when we...

We’ve lived in Brighstone for several years and keep hoping the village pub will finally realise its full potential. Before the pandemic Punch Taverns were advertising for a dynamic management team to turn the pub into a destination gastropub but sadly it’s still anything but....

We stopped here for a late lunch. I am a wheelchair user and the car park is impossible to cross as it is gravel but I was able to be dropped off at the entrance. The menu is typical 'pub grub' and the food that...

Friendly welcome. Comfortable surroundings. Felt at ease in a casual setting. Food was good for the price. Just felt relaxed and would return

Simpelste gerecht van de kaart besteld: schnitzel. De schnitzel kwam uit de frituur en de bijkomende salade zat nog vast...

Warmly welcomed by the owner when we arrived and check-in was straightforward. The rooms are well appointed and nicely decorated. We had an evening meal and breakfast and our dietary requirements were catered for. 1 vegetarian and 1 requiring a gluten free with plenty of...

Went to this pub on a recommendation, so glad we did. The starters were superb, for starters I had the port mushroom and Stilton on sourdough toast. And my wife had the garlic flat bread. I had the mixed grill and my wife had the...

Very disappointed with the meal. We ordered the rump steak meal and when it came we were just beginning to start when we were asked how the meal was. We could,nt answer has she hurried off before we could answer. The chips were well over...

This is a really lovely place, warm welcome, very accommodating, attentive helpful staff and delicious food. We (6 adults) stayed for one night on Thursday 15 June as we were all going to the Festival, and whilst we had accommodation for the weekend, we didn’t...

We had a wonderful stay. Great location for getting out and about. Nathan and the team took great care of us during our stay - whether breakfasts, the rooms, things to do on the island, safe spaces for our bikes, etc. They could not have...

Lovely village B&B & pub restaurant we stayed here when travelling the iow. We stayed 8n there outside chalet with its own fenced patio area. Ideal for dog owners. We stayed in disabled chalet although not disabled. Massive bathroom with all disability tools. Lovely massive...

many dishes were off - on the saturday of a long weekend! The menu did not indicate which dishes were available gluten free, customers were expected to scan the magic square. Even the staff struggled. resolved in the end but still left with very poor...

I would not recommend this place I feel sorry for the staff who work here in fact if you are going to work here good luck with everything you will be pushed in to doing everything while the manager just sits there doing nothing all...

Having visited before and really enjoyed our visits here, left feeling a little deflated. Popped in for a drink mid afternoon and ordered a diet lemonade and a pint of London Pride. When we sat down i realised i had a glass of tonic water....

The food was ‘pub food’ so it was as expected. Don’t bother asking for cocktails as they clearly have no idea !

We came and were taken in by the four cheese and bread board advertised on the front cover of menu. When we were told they didn't have this we settled for a welsh rarebit. The waitress was very apolgetic and seemed embaressed and told us...

Lovely country pub within a few minutes drive from the beach. Friendly staff, warm welcome. The room was clean, stylish and very comfortable.

Stayed here for one night whilst hiking the coast path.What a gem! Spotless,tasteful room,great beer,superb food and friendly staff.Thanks Stacey and team

My partner and myself visited here about a month ago and found the service and friendly staff great. We both had the steak and ale pie and it was lovely. The prices are really good on both drinks and food. We returned today as a...

We went on the spur of the moment and it was lovely! The Three Bishops has had several owners over the years but the food always been ok. This time round the food was lovely! Only thing I’d change was the mixed grill lacked some...

Really not impressed!!!! We arrived at the pub too no greeting what so ever! The staff where to busy having drinks behind the bar no glance our way at all! The pub was not even busy apart from the locals at the top!!!!! We sat...

We were staying in the village and, after arriving at our accommodation fairly late, thought we would eat out. The welcome was friendly and the staff quite pleasant. However, portion sizes (for meals costing £15 each) left a lot to be desired and we left...

Restaurant is light, spacious and clean. staff are friendly and attentive. Starters, mains and deserts were all very nice. We had separate nut allergy and gluten allergy, both catered for. Our dogs had plenty of space to sprawl. All in all great! Nice evening.

There were 5 adults and 1 there year old and a dog we were made very welcome when we went to order our food we were immediately asked if there were any food allergies which I thought was very good ,the food was served quite...

We have been eating at the three bishops twice a month for the past 12 months whilst visiting family nearby. We have always enjoyed a lovely meal with a friendly welcome. The new winter menu is excellent and we are looking forward to future visits....

Family meal near to where we were staying - food was disappointing. Our mains arrived before starters had been cleared which confused the staff member serving our table. My vegetarian choice of butternut and sage ravioli almost got to the table then disappeared with the...

Was served 5 lovely Sunday roasts cooked to perfection a couple of weeks ago, roast beef that melted in mouth, fresh veg, half a plate of chicken but on this visit was disappointed, Beef was very tough and chewy being 50 percent grizzle fat, veg...

Sunday lunch we waited nearly an hour for our roast pork with crackling. That was a joke. The ‘crackling’ was a lump of glutinous fat. The service was surly with no apology for excessive wait. We’ll not be going back for yet another overpriced badly...

We have been to Three Bishops for meals on previous holidays, but will not be going back. We waited nearly half an hour for our Sunday lunch and when it finally arrived I was served roast chicken rather than the pork I had ordered and...

We were served by very pleasant and friendly bar staff and thought the pub had a very pleasant ambience. The food was tasty and nicely presented and the service was friendly and efficient. We will definitely come again and would recommend it. Prices were reasonable...

Was a lovely pub with amazing staff , customer service was excellent looking after us on short notice , will go back with my family again was a brilliant day out really loved the roast it was a great time , beer was a good...

Poor food, poor service. A shame and unusual these days. Much better pubs nearby. They had no record of our booking, were borderline rude to other customers who they called ‘walk ins’ and refused to take a food order from them, food slow and greasy...

Menu was very limited for vegetarians not even a simple macaroni cheese ,need more traditional vegetarian meals please.

Rude. Rude. Rude. (Not the bar staff. They were lovely) On entering just now to a 2/3rd empty restaurant was told (by someone I presume was either the manager or front of house) that she would only accommodate a family of three (including 5yo) if...

Sloppy staff, really disappointed with the attitude …. Forgetting just the basics was bad enough and forgetting some of our food order. Messy unkept garden with broken fences lying around and sunshades left on the garden ready to be tripped over. The place lacked any...

Lovely modern and clean pub and accommodation with friendly staff. Good food available. We skipped the breakfast as needed early sitting and they were full up at these times. Location very central in Brighstone, which is lovely village with plenty going on

Excellent bar staff, beers in very good condition and varied menu, What is not to like? Enjoyed our lunch in the pub garden, would visit again when we were on the island.

Really disappointing for a gluten free & vegetarian person, no options whatsoever. One member of staff on the till too.. didn’t even stay for a drink. Very poor

Great lunch service for three for work. Caesar salad was fresh with delicious crunchy croutons, the fish cakes were delicious and the scampi was golden and crispy. Had great table service from Ruth and Stacey on my first trip to the island. Will definitely return...

Stayed for a night after Isle of Wight festival. Lunch and dinner were spot on. Very friendly and helpful staff. The room I stayed in no 5 was very comfortable and tastefully decorated with lovely modern bathroom. Can’t fault the place and would definitely recommend...

We went out for tea and I really fancied scampi. We chose our meals from the menu, but when we went to order, we were told that as we hadn't pre-booked, we could only order from the pizza or curry menus. (We could see other...

Took our elderly mothers here for dinner one evening on holiday. Good food, friendly people, all in all a nice place to be.

Lovely Pub situated in the village we were staying in. We popped in a few times during the day and evening for just drinks and enjoyed 3 evening meals here. All the staff were really friendly and welcoming and the locals made us feel really...

We have just had a pretty awful meal at this pub. The tables were sticky and the chips and peas were both undercooked. When trying to provide feedback having eaten the parts of the meal that were edible, the waitress didn’t want to listen and...

From the first day we arrived at the Three Bishops Inn, we were made welcome. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, even the locals made us feel welcome. The room was spacious and comfortable, The food was beautiful and the portions were huge....

Went for some food and a few drinks, turned up and the welcome was warm and the staff were very polite. Ordered some food and sat down, food arrived quickly and was lovely. Would recommend

Had a lovely meal here the other day while on my holiday to the Isle of Wight, burger was divine and very affordable as well, would recommend the welcoming Three Bishops to anyone who is going to the IOW!

I visited the pub yesterday with two friends and I ordered our food at 6.53 didn't show up till 7.30 when it arrived I was do disappointed the chicken was so dry my friend had belly pork and she had a hair in it plus...
