Reasonable beer selection and pricing. It's unique charm is being a old front room of a house. Pleasant place though seemed to be cash only.

Proper pub. Beer and conversation and usually busy. No food, 1960s/70s music in the background. Only two small rooms so be prepared to talk to other customers who are a mix of locals and visitors

One of the best pubs in Ventnor and with a 'friendly local' atmosphere. A regular in the Good Beer Guide and hosted by a very experienced and friendly publican. On my last visit Bass was on draught and you won't find that in many places on the island. I recommend that any visitor should look in at the pub, if only to see the huge array of memorabilia that adorns the walls. This is a very unique and delightful drinker's pub, that would feel equally at home were it transported back in time fifty years ago.

Brilliant proper local pub. Friendly staff and locals. A real experience if you are on holiday and looking for a great pub. I am originally from Birmingham and met a local who lived in Birmingham only about 5 miles from me and knew exactly where I lived. Does not serve food and there is no swearing. I will be in Ventnor again next year, it will certainly on list of pubs to visit. The beer is good too.

I ordered a tiny steak as a starter. It was pink on the outside. I’ve never had a steak as a starter before . If it was the mains, I would have returned it but I thought it’s some special kind of steak because it’s pink on the outside, it must be some special kind of steak . That night I had a stomach ache caused by food poisoning from the salmonella inside the steak and next morning I had a bladder infection, kept needing to go to the toilet I sent an e-mail to the restaurant and they asked me for any evidence of bills that I paid for my health condition. I sent them an invoice dated that morning for £30 to Amazon for natural antibiotics. A year and a half has passed, it was long enough for me to forget the experience and put it behind me. I decided to forgive them and return to the restaurant. They cancelled my reservation and I’ve been banned from the restaurant for being poisoned by them. I sent them the evidence that it was a genuine complaint ‘cause I had a bill of £30 for antibiotics dated the day after my visit . The owners of this restaurant are stark raving bonkers, banning a customer for being poisoned! I since have realized that pink on the outside of a steak is virtually guaranteed to have Salmonella which is what this one had . I say you should stay away from such a restaurant. I forgave them for the bad experience and this is how I get treated for my kindness. I didn't even put in a review at the time. Forget that I’m a customer but I’m actually a human being and to treat human beings like this is insanity, nothing less than that. It is a despicable way to treat human beings . And I was a faithful customer of some years standing. Stay well away from this crazy restaurant and it's crazy owners. Be warned, if you get sick in their restaurant, they will treat you just as they treated me, like trash.
