Yarbridge Inn in Isle of Wight

Another exceptional experience. Fantastic, cosy setting. A Warm environment because of the staff and attention to detail. Outstanding menu and even more Outstanding food. A rare chance to take my parents out for lunch. The yarbridge doesn't provide just food. They provide the comfort of a family place to catch up and relax. And the food is a bonus. So fresh and clearly prepared with love and care. We almost forgot that we were there to eat. Well done Fox team. X

Very nice meal, very good table service, some of the dishes were on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. All in all I would recommend.

Lovely and cosy food absolutely fantastic

Only stopped in for a coffee but was made to feel very welcome by the staff and the log burner. Have to say it was one of the best coffees I've had on the island! Will return in the summer to enjoy the ample outside seating.

Outstanding food and hospitality as always. Highly recommended. We always come here when visiting the Island. The staff were brilliant with our two pugs.

It is a great venue, had the chicken supreme with port and Stilton sauce, it was amazing.The staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely revisit soon 👍

Was an amazing meal had me and my partner had the mega mixed grill and it was definitely that , would say was half a farm on a plate , bloody delicious and hats of to the chef each meat was cooked to perfection. Well worth the money and highly recommend will definitely be going back

Filet steak was insane - huge portions and could not finish all of our chips. Lovely staff and definitely value for money

We have been coming here for years and have always been made welcome.

Recently visited with my family for a special anniversary celebration . The menu offered a good choice of dishes and although busy we were given very good service. The food was delicious and was enjoyed by the whole family. A very memorable evening so thank you to all at The Yarbridge

Not been here for years. Our boys used to love the model train that ran around the wall. Will definitely go back again.

We didn't stay to eat as seating wasn't suitable for disabled guests and our dogs were too big to fit in the allotted space. Not the Inn's fault- just very unfortunate circumstances.

Staff very polite and the service top

Great roasts but puddings even better, meringue and cheesecake home made to unbelievable standards

Beautiful food well presented tasted delicious.

Another perfect meal at the Yarbridge, in all the years we've been coming here we've never had a bad meal. They really are the very best and Becky and her team are just so lovely. Going again on Friday for lunch.

Magic atmosphere, friendly stuff, delicious food and wine. I had very tasty shepherds pie 🥧 with vegetables 🥗 big portions

Great quality food at a reasonable price, with a lovely atmosphere and excellent service!

Really lovely place, steaks were beautifully cooked, staff are friendly and efficient. Love the table buzzer that requests assistance so you aren't bothered with a mouthfull or sat waiting ages.

5 out of 5, good honest home cooked food in cosy surroundings, what proper pub food should be. If your looking for wholesome, locally sourced food, Served by lovely people, look no further. This pub is a dream, fantastic choice of dishes, high standards and very tasty. You won’t be disappointed.

Staff more than happy to work with us, as we have so many unique allergies, even prepared to do a meal we could make up, that was not on the menu. Will certainly eat there again next time we are on the island.

Sunday Lunch at the Yarbridge is not to be missed. According to my Husband it is the only place we've been to on the Island that can cook a roast like he gets at home. Understandably you have to book. Food and service both superb. Cant wait to come back. The sticky toffee pudding was out of this world.

I rarely leave reviews for food venues as in my opinion there are so many that are just average and would be a waste of my time, However here I am leaving a review so that in itself speaks volumes as there must be something worth writing about! Firstly we hadn’t booked but the friendly staff found us a table, The menu was extensive with plenty of choice, the two main courses “liver with mash and steak etc” was fantastic and served quickly given the restaurant was full with a vibrant atmosphere. Portion sizes were more than adequate, sadly I enjoyed my main so much it left no room for pudding. But if the main was anything to go by the sticky toffee would be Devine! It’s not often after eating a mean and being full do I sit and wonder what the food coming out the kitchen tastes like. The wine list was good we opted for the Côtes du Rhône stunning bottle of wine. I cannot fault this pub and the staff were amazing! This little pub is a diamond in a box of gems and I will certainly be returning and anyone who chooses to drive past and not pop in would be foolish! Thank you to the foxy team for a wonderful visit! See you all again soon!

Really enjoyed our meal. Service was wonderful, nice and prompt without being overbearing. Food was great, lots of options (including vegetarian) and good portion sizes. Lovely spot and would more than happily go back when we're on the Isle of Wight.

Very good food and generous portions. Hands down the best pie (steak and stilton) I have had in my 9 years in the UK. Will definitely visit again if I am back in IoW. Great service and nice staff, we didn't have a reservation and were offered to seat outside but we were also offered a table inside 10 minutes later as they rearranged the space.

Lovely anniversary meal at The Yarbridge. Great quality food and attentive service

We had very lovely dinner with you. Can’t wait to see you again. Highly recommend 😍

Food great and really good service. Would definitely come back here again.

Had a lovely dinner last Saturday evening our first day of our holiday. We have eaten here before & wanted to go back. Food & service was excellent. I can recommend the cottage pie & my husband had Lasagne. Hubby had cheesecake for his pudding & I was good & just had a cappuccino which was really nice. Highly recommend & the decor is good & when the weather is behaving sitting outside looked very pleasant.

We dined on recommendation as a family of 5 (2x adults, 3 children). We were greeted by a smiley and pleasant waitress and our order taken by a very accommodation waiter. The menu suited all diners, including a plant based diet. The children’s menu was adapted (to not include tomato in the Mac and cheese). The children’s Mac and cheese was liked but I was surprised by the side salad that had dressing and onions. (It looked very appealing, but I want sure on how many children would have considered eating the dressing and onion). The children’s meals were £9.50 and would have benefited in appeal by including a drink. Portions could be considered quite small too, although plenty for our children of: 12,9 and 4. The plant based diner opted for a three bean chilli and was satisfied but felt it wasn’t particularly flavoursome. The local sausage and mash with vegetables, was delicious and the child who ate the chicken goujons very happy. Drinks wise, we were asked if we would like water straight away, which was great and the lime and soda “delicious” according to the chicken. The ale ‘yaughtsman’ very much enjoyed. The toilets and decor very pleasant and inviting. Would recommend - would be nice to come and use the very lovely garden area of the weather was better.

Fantastic food fantastic service would definitely highly recommend this place for food

Delicious food and portions, the vegetarian menu is great and the pudding was huge!

What a wonderful, charming experience from start to finish. We were seated almost immediately and extremely polite staff were a welcome addition. But the best part? Something I haven't seen in all the restaurants I've been to? A button on every table to call for the staff when you're either ready to order or pay. Such a welcome addition, that is so simplistic and allows you to dine at your own pace. Food was exceptional and very generous portions. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed. We decided to celebrate his birthday here, with another couple, and I booked us a table a few weeks in advance. We arrived dead on 07.30 pm, and were pleased to see that the pub was buzzing. Unfortunately, we were advised that I'd actually booked for 07.00 pm and that, as they hadn't been able to contact me by 'phone, they'd given our table away! However, all was not lost, as Becky Fox (one of the pub owners), full of apologies, said she'd have a table ready for us by 08.00 pm. We ordered drinks at the bar, expecting a 30 minute wait, when she said that actually, there was a table available straight away. We all ordered the same I.e. Mama Fox's steak and stilton pies (marvellous homemade pastry with lots of delicious filling). Before our food arrived, Becky offered us yet another, bigger, table, which we moved over to. Another waitress served us and enquired as to which of us was the birthday celebrant, which was appreciated. We were too full up with pie (!) to order desserts, but were still enjoying more drinks. Unexpectedly, the lights were dimmed, and a small bowl of vanilla ice cream and blackberries, with a lighted candle, was brought out, to a rousing chorus of 'Happy Birthday'. Our only niggle was that one of the 4 portions of pie was significantly smaller than the other 3 portions (which were very generous). This was politely pointed out to the waitress, who said that she'd mention it to the chef. However, no more pie was forthcoming. That did not put a damper on our overall enjoyment of the evening. We shall be back!

Very nice meal to much food staff very good helpfull over all very good

Excellent meal, service and atmosphere. Best to book. Had the Sunday roast and dessert.

Recommended by local Butcher in Bembridge. Excellent food and friendly service. Food options for all tastes. Dog Friendly. Booking necessary. Well worth a visit

First time we've visited and gotta say it was refreshing to have such a good meal at a great price, the cheesecake was up there with my all time favourites and had a lovely thick base, beautiful. The rest of our meal was so fresh and cooked to perfection you will definitely be seeing us again

Good menu and good Separate Gluten Free menu. Wife had homemade steak and Stilton pie which she enjoyed. Came with plenty of well cooked fresh veg and new potatoes and a jug of gravy. I had a rump steak from the GF menu. The steak was well cooked and came with chips, peas, mushrooms and tomato. I opted for the blue cheese sauce to accompany my steak. For pudding we shared a mixed fruit pavlova which was very nice. My only slight criticism (and I’m being picky) was that the sauce could have had more Stilton in it as it was barely discernible!

We were looking for a nice evening out that had a good menu that was a little out of the ordinary. The menu certainly did not disappoint us. Treated my hubby to the mega mixed grill, everything was cooked as he liked it while I had fish off the specials board. Lovely puddings too. The staff were amazing, attentive but not in your face. Lovely family business.

Lovely meal for 2 to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary. We shared a starter (garlic prawns) I had lasagne for main and husband had the sea bass. The dessert was amazing... Berry pavlova! Thank you. Service on point . Staff very welcoming and friendly Xx

Had a fabulous meal at the Yarbridge Inn, salted caramel cheesecake was perfect. Highly recommended.

Beautiful pub. Our 2 year old played with a huge connect 4 game outside while we ordered our food. Fantastic food. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Would love to visit again (if we didn't live 4 hours away!)!

Very good meals,reasonably priced and staff are always helpful and friendly

Wonderful food. I had the duck presented very nicely would definitely go again and be happy to recommend to anybody wanting something a bit more special

Really tasty meal and very cute atmosphere.

Beautiful decorated, fast and hard working staff. A big shout out to the young Polish gentleman who is one of the Waiters. I’m sorry I didn’t catch his name, but he is a real credit to your business. He goes above and beyond for all customers, and is very polite and professional. The Food is the best on the Island I would say. We are now regulars🙂 thank you for always making our dining pleasant. I must say, it’s nice to be offered fresh iced water for the table too, as nowhere else does this.

Had a birthday meal here. The food was brilliant. Service was great.

Gave us table right next to toilet Not very good

Absolutely wonderful dining experience. We have already, and will be highly recommending to our Island friends. We have also made a reservation for later in the week to further improve our holiday experiences this year👍

Great customer service and very welcoming, professional and friendly staff.

We had a lovely meal, the staff are so friendly and made a fuss of our dog . The food was the best we have had on the island

Excellent quality food and service very friendly staff as always

A lovely pub with friendly staff and beautifully decorated. The food was outstanding, delicious and generous portions. Great drink selection too

Super food, well cooked and nicely presented. very friendly and welcoming staff and they really loved our four legged companion, made a fuss and brought him biscuits and a bowl of water as soon as we arrived.

Ate here last Sunday, had the cottage pie with melted cheese and a selection of vegetables. Outstanding !!!

Absolutely shocking experience today, we didn't book a table but didn't mind sitting outside. Everything was going well, ordered our food and they even brought out some treats for our dog. Our drinks were brought out quite swiftly, but from there it went down hill. We wait, and wait and some more waiting, we thought as it was busy the food was taking a little bit longer. 45 mins went by I clicked the buzzer and someone came out to us, I asked how long our food was going to take to which they asked who we placed the order with, ironically it was the same lady!! She had forgotten she took our order and gave our dog some biscuits and she didn't put it through. We were annoyed but decided to wait for our food. The crunch came when a family that arrived 30 mins after we did who was sitting outside was then offered a table inside. The temperature outside was cold and they knew how long we had been waiting !! I don't know whether it was a race thing as I am a black woman or just blatant ignorance of the management. Fuming is an understatement I cancelled the food order. If we ever visit IOW again I will be giving this place a wide berth and will not be recommending this to any family or friends.

Another truly delicious lunch here with happy, friendly staff. Recommend all the menu but today I had the Sea Bass and it was just the best and would Highly recommend it!!!!

Lovely place, with a lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is gorgeous and fresh and big portions, daily special board with lovely offerings. Definitely a place to visit when on the island. Pre book to avoid disappointment.

We love this place, only found it a couple of weeks ago but we've been here four times already! Working our way through their menu. A different meal each time. Lovely food, very welcoming.

Really very nice small pub restaurant (book in advance to avoid disappointment!). We had a lovely Sunday carvery lunch, nicely presented and with impeccable service. Couldn’t fault it.

We had a fabulous meal here, the staff were friendly and welcoming to us and our small dog. Cannot fault at all. Having the choice of smaller size dishes (still good size) is brilliant and avoids food waste. Our food was superb. Would highly recommend and will visit again 👍

Staff are superb 👌 Food is excellent 👌 Can't fault them at all

Lovely meal, cooked well, piping hot; great service, desserts were gorgeous - all in all just great and definitely recommend the Yarbridge.

We had a great time , but our food lacked a bit of flavour. I had 3 bean chilli, which is usually full of beans and chilli, but mine lacked both of these.. I saw more celery and carrots than beans and couldn't taste any chilli. It was more of a broth. It was tasty,but not a hearty bean chilli. The service was however fabulous and my pudding delicious! Others enjoyed their meal, so maybe having the last portion of chilli available meant it wasn't up to the usual standard.

Superb family Sunday lunch for Father’s Day, great service, food and good value! Highly recommend.

Great staff who were very obliging seating us condidering we had arrived much later than we'd booked! Lovely meal. Thank you

Lovely food and very friendly hosts

One of the best lasagnas I have ever eaten, yum! I also like that you can choose from a small or regular size. The small one with salad and garlic bread was plenty for me! Half of the restaurant is dog-friendly too and they offered a bowl of treats for Bug 🤗👌

You'd think this was just a normal little family pub. But you'd be wrong. The food is superb and the service amazing and the prices really cheap given how well made the food was. Our waitress Hannah was lovely. When we arrived it was quite early and we had a lovely chat with her. Turns out after 14 years working in the hospitality industry she's moving on to an office job. Best of luck in your new job, I suspect you will be just as good in your new job as you are in your current hospitality job!!

First class meal, great service and good ambiance.

Fantastic place , lovely atmosphere, beautiful people

Went for lunch today with our children and sat in the garden. What a pretty place to sit and eat. The service was fantastic, the food was amazing and atmosphere there was delightful. The garden looked so lovely and so clean. We had a lovely time and will be returning soon. Thank you 😊

The best place in the Isle of Wight food is excellent and the pie I had which was the mama's pie out of this world can't wait to go back would off stayed longer tonight only my wife had a tooth ache it was our anniversary tonight such a shame next time. I will be back can't wait

We booked to go here with my brother, who was visiting from Australia, actually , this was his suggestion, also my wife & my Mum were with me too. It was an evening visit, 18:00/18:30. We were greeted & seated, drink orders were taken & then food orders. Then we waited, and waited, others got their food, others who arrived after us received their food, but still nothing for us, we waited some more, I went for a vape outside & said to my dining companions if the food wasn’t there when I came back in I was going to ask what the hold up was, bear in mind almost an hour had gone by now. So, vape done I came back in, and still no food, I went up to the bar & spoke to the staff, i explained that others who arrived after us had not only ordered, but had finished their meals & we were still waiting, they apologised & said it would be with us very soon. As I walked back to the table the food arrived, as did the waitress who offered us a round of drinks on the house, we said thank you & happily accepted, they apologised again. The rather long wait aside, the food was absolutely delicious and dare I say it, worth the wait, my wife & I both said they were the best burgers we’d had in a very long time, my wife wants to go back for another one, my wife & brother both really enjoyed their food too. We paid the bill & left. Will we go back? Absolutely, the burgers really were very good indeed, and the staff are always so friendly and polite, they’re a credit to the restaurant.

Holy moly! Where to start? My friends and I had a fantastic meal here. I had sea bass, which I'd never eaten before, and it was fantastic, truly delicious. The fish was accompanied by a dish of fresh vegetables and I was able to substitute some of my new potatoes for chips. For dessert, I had cheesecake and it was magnificent. I don't drink but my friend had a pint of Pedigree and said it was great.

Food has been the best since we arrived on monday

I have tried and tried all week to book a table phone keeps ringing and ringing they must lose a hell of a lot of custom if they don't answer the phone why don't they answer the phone??? I'm won't be going there I'm going som

Had a lovely meal for our Anniversary last night, excellent food, service with a smile, had a large Apple cream Profiterole it was gorgeous totally recommend.

Had such a great experience for me and my family during lunch time. Food was top quality and quick to be served. The ladies were great and really connected to personal level. I would say I felt that they really have the passion to get this great place running. Would not hesitate to recommend and of course to visit them again,

A prime example of spectacular British cuisine and hospitality. If you're looking for a reason to come to this isle, you'll find it in this place.

Strangely defensive bar staff; waitress was lovely though.

Great food, apart from my partner having to pick and choose to accommodate her gluten and dairy free diet. She managed and we all enjoyed the meal. Waitresses were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. It is pub grub but really well cooked. Would return

Good food, friendly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Great food and service as always

Absolutely loved the food. Great service, good atmosphere. Lovely family run friendly pub. Highly recommend.

Looked like a lovely place, shame we were ignored. Went in and no one available to serve us, two people rushed by the bar, didn't talk to us, decided to leave and find a friendlier place.

A lovely place for Sunday lunch. The menu is varied, so there are a number of alternatives to the traditional lunch also. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating, even though it was busy on Easter Sunday. Good atmosphere and comfortable surroundings, in addition to good food.

Without doubt the best food we have had! Such a beautiful welcome, friendly staff and othi g is too much effort. The creamy garlic mushrooms and focaccia bread are amazing and the best burger I've had in a long time. Huge shout to Rich, his staff and his family for such an amazing time and food. BOOK IN ADVANCE! I literally saw them having to turn 3 families away that turned up off the hook but couldn't get fitted due to being fully booked.....I think that says enough in itself! See you all soon! Steve, Jo and Charlie. X

Fantastic. Was advised to go here by a friend due to its reputation for excellent foods and atmosphere, and wasn't disappointed. The service was brilliant, food was, as stated, excellent with great ales, 🍷 and spirits. Wonderful location and atmosphere. Suggest you have the home made Beef and Stilton pie. WOW.

Outstanding in every way! Both the young ladies were attentive and personable. The food was quick, hot and tasty. The best we had on the island all week, and when we come back, will certainly come back here.

Eating here for dinner was an amazing welcome on the Isle of Wight for us. The waitress was so friendly and the Halloumi Burger and the Homemade pie have been out of this world. I would definitly recommend this lovely inn.

Excellent food served by very friendly staff at good value prices

Absolutely wonderful in all aspects.

We turned up without a booking and luckily they were able to accommodate us, it was late afternoon and it started to fill up while we were there, so we will make sure we book in future. We went based on reviews and we were not at all disappointed. I had one of the best restaurant meals that I have ever had! I had the pie of the day, beef and Stilton and it was amazing. My husband went for the liver and bacon and said it was wonderful! The staff were lovely, it was our 48th wedding anniversary and we had a great time.

Relaxing and the food is incredible!!!

The best roast dinner I've had in any UK pub / restaurant. Thank you Fox family for a warm welcome and amazing food.

Honestly, you would drive past this place as on the outside it is nothing special. The thought “dont judge a book by its cover’ springs to mind here. We had heard the food was good, so on that note I emailed ahead a to asked if they could make battered halloumi and chips.. they said YES. We arrived and what a massive surprise we had. It was like being transported to another world. We opened the door to be greeted by a very friendly person. We were gobsmacked by the decor, the furniture, the cosyness, the cushions, the warmth from the log burner, it was perfect, perfect for a date, a birthday, an anniversary. No way is the first impression going to disappoint. It’s everything you hope it could be… and the food, OMG amazing, just like the service. Note to staff and kitchen. What a fabulous experience you have created. I would say award winning. Best kept island secret. Thank you all so much for all the effort put in to make your customers feel welcome.

Yet another lovely meal , made to feel like an old friend and very welcome x

Nice place for a causal pub dinner. Good classic pub menu and big portions. Jam sponge and custard was an absolute winner.
