Waverley Inn in Isle of Wight

Stayed in the bed and breakfast for 5 days had family room with my mum whilst visiting family room was lovely beds comfy and everything we needed. Tiffany and Dave were amazing hosts food great and all locals so friendly in the bar will definitely go back and stay there again 😊

We (2 couples) stayed for 2 nights. Do not be put off by the exterior looks, inside has very nice decor, lovely large bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, really comfortable bed and nice touches like ironing board and iron, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. Staff are wonderful hosts. Breakfast and the evening meals were all excellent. We would recommend the Waverley to everyone.

Great food, best fish & chips ever, comfy bed, ample parking, garden with seats to eat/ drink in, regular bus route outside the pub, friendly, busy. Why look any further?

Amazing roast dinner, fantastic portions, lots of different veg and roasties were huge and perfectly cooked. Perfect price will be coming back for more soon. Great pub 👌

We went for a roast and one of the best roasts I have had very highly recommended. Plenty on plate and all fresh and hot . Service also just as perfect look forward to next visit very soon.

Nice job ld fashioned pub with a local atmosphere. Staff were really friendly, great menu and food , served quickly. Very reasonable prices

Have had many Sunday lunches at the Waverley but today's was awful. Broccoli and swede stone cold, not cooled down but absolutely cold. Gravy was thin and tepid. Meat was stringy. Potatoes were hot though. Never again which is a shame.

Classico pub frequentato da gente del posto e dagli ospiti - dispone anche di alcune accoglienti camere - atmosfera e cibo tipicamente inglesi. Alla periferia di Newport , capoluogo dell'isola di Wight vicino a più fermate dei bus e quindi facilmente raggiungibile.

Fabulous lunch today, homemade macaroni cheese with salad and crusty bread, great value, lots of choice on menu , nice to see so many homemade meals on offer, will certainly recomend

We are local residents and wish to say how highly we rate the lovely meals on offer at the Waverley. We have eaten all over the Island and always come back, Great home cooked food, delicious recipes, generous portions and puddings to die for. Friendly staff and attentive service even during Covid. Thank you to Tim Julie and all the staff

Excellent food and service with a smile.I really enjoyed my homemade shepherds pie and my friend enjoyed her vegan curry (cauliflower and chickpea). A generous helping and definitely homemade. The pub is very covid-19 savvy and take your details as you enter and there is a one-way system in place. Very safe and friendly service.The menu has been scaled down, but is more than ample to suit all tastes. They also have a very good specials board. I would recommend calling them to book a table, as space can be limited.

Lunch with two friends. Food lovely had soup with roll and fruit crumble and ice cream (home made), friendly staff, service good ,thank you

The owner is an absolutely valid human being. Rude and unnecessarily aggressive. I would not go there again if you paid me. Horrific man. Full of arrogance and an over inflated sense of self importance. And has a very obvious and blatant hatred and contempt for disabled people which he made no effort to try and hide at all.

Dropped in here for a pint on a Sunday dinner time before a visit to the castle. Such a lovely, cosy pub. They were totally buzzing with tablefuls of people eating Sunday lunch. Locals chatted to me, a stranger, amiably as did the landlord and landlady. So I went away with warm impressions of the Waverley.It's a traditional pub, busy on a Sunday lunchtime the way they all used to be. It must have a good clientele, as they'd just raised over £2000 towards the refitting of their namesake the paddle steamer Waverley, of which there's a painted sign over the pub's front door. It's nice to see that pubs like this can still thrive. I recommend a visit, whether for a meal or, like me, just for a pint.

We visited the Waverley Inn this past Sunday for a family dinner, there were 6 children and 3 adults. Several of us had roasts, and a few of the kids had the kids menu meal. I have to say, every single thing was sooooo tasty. I had gammon, which was the nicest gammon I've ever eaten, my partner had the lamb which was also delicious, the kids meals were tasty too and priced at an appropriate level. The service was perfect, from the friendly and helpful bar staff to the lovely chef who chatted to us about their method for preparing the gammon, and who was also happy to help us at the table, he was amazing! Finally, the puddings were also really nice and there were quite a few to choose from, I had a delicious rhubarb crumble! All in all, I can't wait to go back and would heartily recommend visiting!

Just want to say thank you to Julie, Tim and all the Waverley team for making our stay so lovely! Very welcoming and friendly. Room was lovely and clean with a nice hot shower. Didn’t go anywhere else to eat as the food was amazing and always came out hot! Superb gem to visit on the island. Many thanks Stew, Karlene and Bruno

Arrived with a couple of friends for a birthday one nighter. Although the hotel isn't signposted from the road as the bottom of the hotel is a pub also, once we located it, there was plenty of parking.Check in was painless and all done in a few moments. The room we had was a family room, 1 double and 3 singles (room number 1). We had our own bathroom, and the decor was immaculate and well looked after.The bar itself has a pool table and dartboard and jukebox which is all in an enclosed area which I thought was nice. The beer prices weren't overly expensive and there is plenty of choice and range.We decided to eat at the pub before we headed to town. I had the ribs, which although were a little chewy for my liking, were still delicious nonetheless and I ate the lot. Taxis into the centre of Newport were only 5 pounds, (use a company called alpha) and they're are plenty of eateries and bars and lively venues dotted all around.Breakfast the next morning was delicious, I had the smaller of the 2 breakfast options, but if you're feeling particularly hungry, try the larger breakfast which was basically double of everything. Only 2 very small quibbles. The stairwell leading to the rooms could do with a spot of decluttering. And as we're not from the area, we asked the barmaid where the best places were for a drink. While she was explaining where the best places were, a woman on her laptop in the bar (I'll assume this was the landlady) interrupted her and said something about the fact that she was 19 and we are 38-42 age range that we would perhaps not like those types of venue. It almost felt like she had inferred (perhaps not intentionally) that we were too old to frequent the places suggested!Neither of these quibbles would deter me from visiting Newport again, nor would it stop me from staying in a lovely, well run and friendly pub/hotel again for a return visit. Thank you waverley for your hospitality, until next time...

This lovely old Inn is a great place to stay, comfortable room with en suite and super food. Proprietor and his wife cannot do enough to tr6 and please. Excellent all round stay. We will be back next year.

I'm a frequent visitor to the Waverly staff are friendly and the food is good hearty pub grub. And not to priceyLovely large sunny garden and a pool table with a Duke box.Regular quizzes for charity's go on and live music and dogs and children are welcomedWith disabled access to from the car park nice selection of drinks too

Excellent proper pub. Very reasonably priced with extensive menu. Fine dining it's not, but personally don't want that. Quizzes, live music, friendly staff - can't fault it! We'll be back!

We stayed in Carrisbrooke for a few nights and visited the Waverley twice for something to eat.It's a nice straightforward pub with friendly staff and a typical choice of menu.. The portions were good . Have only given 3 stars as on one evening my meal wasn't great , maybe I was unlucky.. It's better than "Average" though so three and a half stars !!Much better value than most of the choices in Newport so well worth a visit..

More than just simple pub grub with a specials board, all a bit more than simple pub grub. Breakfasts were excellent - especially the coffee and home made marmalade

Good traditional pub, serving popular food with many variant sykles, and variety of beverages. Nice staff, and a large outdoor garden.

We stayed in one of the Inns rooms at the weekend as needed to be in the Carisbrooke location. The rooms are large and with high ceilings. Decoration is a little tired, but this is a very old building and must be a nightmare to maintain, especially being in a conservation area. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom roomy with bath and shower available. It had everything we needed.

Popped in for a drink and meal when on a short break to the IOW. Lovely home cooked food and selection of beers and real local ales. Liver and bacon and cobbler was our choice and was served quickly and piping hot. Good ambience in the pub even though it was quite being a Thursday night. Staff polite and welcoming.

If you want a home made style Sunday roast this is your place. Choice of 4 meats, roast potatoes and parsnips, carrots, swede, broccoli and cauliflower cheese all served with Yorkshire pudding and plenty of gravy. Staff very friendly and service excellent

Easy dismissed as it sits on a junction as ‘just another pub’ I’d dare you to try it. Friendly, welcoming and the food looked good - we’ll eat there next time. Roaring fire, the only possible deterrent, for me, is the enormous TV with constant football coverage to one end of the bar. Small garden & car park, it’ll be worth stopping there. Maybe they’ll put the rugby on?!

Just popped in for a drink and sadly didn't get back for a meal bu the menu looked good. Service was great and pup has a lovely feel, big old house with lots of character and dog friendly. Pimms was awesome!

Die Serviceleute berieten uns sehr gut bei der Auswahl des abendlichen Ales und es gab auch zwei außergewöhnliche Sorten von der Insel.

We stopped here whilst visiting Carisbrooke Castle. Great home cooked food which was very reasonably priced. Very friendly landlady and staff. Highly recommended

Well we were on our way to the castle at any rate. Good wide menu and excellent beers. On a warm day you need to ditch the castle and sit in their beer garden Sorry we didn’t make it back for pudding

We have stayed here twice now and the owners and staff are lovely. The room was clean and comfortable and the price was very reasonable. The food is excellent and the full English breakfast is without doubt the best i have ever had. Brilliant many thanks.

As soon as we walked in this lovely traditional looking pub we were made extremely welcome

Visited a week day not many people around cheap menu plain basic food tiny portions hence price food flavourless and cheap frozen maybe

From the time we entered the Pub until we left 2 days later we were made to feel at home. Extremely easy going friendly staff in a victorian pub with a nice comfy feel. bar food was good and breakfast enough to set us up for the day..Goddards' yachtsman and IOW brewery ale on tap was an added bonus.Busy on the saturday evening with music through until late in the evening apparently , I don't know cos I was asleep by 11 o'clock..Huge choice of meals on the pub menu.

We have been there twice, most recently for a meal on a Sunday. We had the roast and it was very enjoyable-some veg not as hot as we like but a good size dinner. The sweet selection was very good and reasonable.The staff are very friendly and it appears to be a family set up. The bar has a good selection of beers too.

This place was recommended to me and I am so glad we tried it. Absolutely lovely friendly staff, real family atmosphere and super lovely food. Gorgeous homemade deserts to follow. Highly recommend and so reasonably priced. Very pet friendly

Yes you can sometimes hear the bar downstairs its a pub so you would expect that but the staff are nice the food is great the room we had was comfy in all good stay thank you

We spent a lovely two nights here. 2 small dogs, one 90 year old mother and a couple.

The wife and I have used the Waverley a few times before and have always enjoyed the food and service here. Today, we had been out on a hot sunny day and decided to call in for a nice cold drink. My wife said she felt peckish and so ordered a BLT on baton. WOW!! It was MASSIVE!! It was (If I recall, £5.75). The side salad had the most tasty dressing on! I had to ask the lady behind the bar what the dressing was, because I wanted to either buy some or make it myself! She informed me that it was honey and mustard! Wonderful! I had to help my missus eat her BLT baton (ah, shame!! Heh, heh!!). It was the absolute BEST BLT I had ever had. Seriously! You won't be disappointed! I can't wait until we call in again! (Hopefully tomorrow!!)

Had an old fashioned Sunday lunch. Just how mum cooked it. The chicken was lovely, the veg Very nice, roast pots very good. Also the person with me, had Roast Beef, which he said was lovely.

We came in from a cycle ride to shelter from the rain and were warmly welcomed - offered towels to dry ourselves and even some free roast potatoes! Had some tasty cakes too.

Four of us stopped for lunch and three of us chose a meal from the chalkboard menu and one from the printed menu. All four meals were homemade, which is so nice to find. We thought the service was prompt and friendly. Meals were very reasonably priced. A good selection of ales etc. The icing on the cake was that all four of us loved our meals. We will be back.

The Waverley is a family friendly pub. The food is reasonably priced and very good. You can also get accommodation here. There is plenty of space for car parking.

Nice pub atmosphere real ales served and very reasonable priced food. Varied menu served all day excellent.

We chose from the new menu. The food wad good, tasty and very good value. The interior and atmosphere was pleasant and the landlord/lady engaged us in conversation.

This pub /hotel is run by a fantastic team who aim to give great service, good food and a community feel. Excellent

This is an old Inn. Tim and his team make you feel welcome. Pub and food are excellent with good selection of beers with guest ales for serious beer drinkers. Accomadation is old but very adequate and made up to date regulations. The food reputation has exstended to non local islanders and other contractors from the mainland that I met whilst working.on the island. I would not hesitate to book in again.

Traditional pub food, great quality and great price..very welcoming and only 10 minutes from the nearby campsite.

It was a bit quiet the night we were there (Cowes week firework display night?) but we really enjoyed our food, a nice steak and other meals. All good value and would go again.

I don't typically do reviews but this deserves recognition!

Visited before taking the Ghost Walk, we were running late but luckily we were served quite quickly and may I say this was the best vegetarian curry I have ever tasted. Menu was really good, lots of choice, just wish we had got there earlier so that we could have tried one of the great looking puddings. Warm friendly atmosphere, excellent prices, great value and large portions.

Partner had meatballs & I had lamb shank. Large delicious dinners. Friendly staff. Play area in garden for children.

Needed a quick working lunch and went into the Waverley for a simple ham sandwich which they obliged. The ham sandwich was delicious - with home cooked ham and salad - just what I wanted - thanks

We each ordered a large Sunday lunch. On reflection I should have ordered a small one. The portions are hugely generous and represent outstanding value for money. Service is excellent and friendly - even the chef helps serve the customers. My partner wanted a cheese board which wasn't on the menu. The chef duly obliged with a selection of three cheeses, pickles, sauce and four types of biscuit. Enough for three people. And the price was more than reasonable. Our first visit here. It won't be our last!

We hosted a wedding locally and got as many guests into the Waverly as they could fit, we also ate here three times over the course of a week while using the pub as a meeting point.

Myself and a colleague stayed here after booking with booking.com. The check in was a breeze and the staff are very helpful and fun. The bar is nice, clean with a great pool table and superb outside seating area. Lots of space in the car park.

My wife and I and a friend booked a Sunday lunch for the first time here. We were all instantly impressed as we went in and saw the tables beautifully set. We had mentioned when booking that we had a small Chihuahua with us. No problem! The menu was very selective with a choice of meats if you wanted a Sunday roast. Vegetarian option was also available if required. We each had a Sunday roast, again with a further option of a "small" or "large". The two ladies had a small and I had the large (being a bloke!!) The ladies meals were brought out first (with very little waiting time!) and they looked a good size. Mine was then brought out and it has huge! Fantastic value! Small was (at time of writing) £6.95 and large was £8.95. Where else can you get this value? Not only was the food superbly cooked, it was also presented really well. We managed to finish our main meal and decided to have a dessert. Wow! They were fantastic! And for just £2.95! You can't buy a coffee for that price in some places! We will definitely be going again without a doubt!

Great to watch football with friends, really sociable and friendly local pub. Broad range of eats and beers.

Two bars to choose from, rugby on the TV, music on just after and a good choice of beers. Nice atmosphere and friendly.

Having spent a wonderful 5 days exploring the Isle of Wight I came across this lovely friendly place to eat. The food was delicious and I managed to speak to the chef called Cathy who was delightful and thanked me for liking her food. The only let down was the landlord who was rude and obnoxious when I was trying to talk to Cathy about her food. I personally found him condescending; I felt sad for Cathy. Other than that the Inn had a good atmosphere. I understand you can also get a room there.

Had a lovely home made meal -asparagus & broad bean risotto with a delicious salad & crusty bread. We would definately come again!

Very welcomed by staff really helpful, room good size though no double glazing so a little noisy. bed really comfortable breakfast plenty to eat well cooked. Went back for Sunday dinner really good well cooked and plenty of it and a good price for dinner and a very good price for bed and breakfast

Stopped for Breakfast and was very dissapointed with the fayre on offer.

Had a lovely breakfast this morning. Very delicious and good price. Great customer service. And overall excellent experience :) definitely reccomend!

Arrived at this pub couldn't park because of very large bus in the car park doing some beauty event! We thought this a good sign so parked else where only to find a empty pub walked out again when no service at bar.

Stopped here for lunch. I had steak and ale pie with mash. The steak was too tough to eat and it wasnt even a pie, just a dish with a pastry top balanced on it. Took an age to order from staff with no concept of customer service.

Ate here on two evenings during a recent stay in the Isle of Wight and were very well pleased with the welcome we received. It's a fairly traditional pub just outside Newport, selling local beers and offering very tasty, home-cooked food at reasonable prices. There's a beer garden outside or plenty of space to dine indoors if preferred.
