Everytime we visit the island (and we've been quite a few times) we always end up at this pub as the service is great, the staff always so friendly and the food is really tasty. This time we had the steak pie and lasagne and both were delicious. Lovely spacious pub inside and always served very quickly.
Last time I had food from here it was poor this was about 2yr ago now it own by someone new and so so so much better honestly t is the only chipy I go to now Cash only lovey girls on the till am real boy
Well what a fantastic service we went for. Yes it comes with the high price tag, but when you go for a treat date afternoon and make it a special occasion its worth the splurg. We were looked after from the minute we arrived. A cute placement card to our lovely presented table. We enjoyed the prawns bowl and taco starter with the lemon sole main washed down with some fizz and cocktails. Becs and rhys went out of their way to give us top notch hospitality. The dishes had a good wait between the courses and the cocktails james made were fab. Every part of the menu was described perfectly. We will be back, thankyou
Nice family pub restaurant. Small bouncy castle for kids & outdoor playground. Good portions & the food was served hot & also they have a call button on the table for service so very quick service.
We have been here many times over the years and looked forward to our visit again this year. What a disappointment. We had a cream tea which consisted of a pot of tea, 2 scones, butter, cream and jam. The jam and cream pots were half the size they used to be and the butter was barely there, adequate enough for one scone but certainly not two. The jug of milk supplied did not have enough milk for one cup of tea and we had to ask for extra. I do not drink tea and asked for my tea to be substituted with coffee, big mistake, it was undrinkable. Went we went to pay we were told 'cash only' and I was lucky to find some cash in the bottom of my bag. This should be made clear when you enter and before you order as a lot of people do not carry cash. Our experience was so different to every other visit we wondered if there were 'new owners' but overheard the owner telling other visitors that she had been there 17 years. Sadly will not be returning.
The food was lovely though almost cold by the time we were given it.
We then waited almost 30 minutes before our plates were cleared. Then again a wait of almost 10 minutes to get the desert menu to be told that they’d sold out of one of the two deserts. There were other options of cheese or ice cream. None of which we wanted.
The waitress came to take our order after another wait of 10 mins to announce she had no idea what deserts were available. We ordered coffees instead of desert. Waiting on coffee whilst I write this review.
Whilst the garlic farm is lovely in many ways, the setting, the food when it’s hot, the extremely poor service lets it down - every time I have visited for a meal
What an amazing tardis of a place which draws you in with its thatched roof and promise of Wight shaped scones. It has extensive seating both inside and outside with an adjacent council car park. Bit pricey to park there ☹️.
Visited three times:lunch, afternoon visit and early evening meal. There is a small bar inside and this room is the lively one in terms of engaging in conversation with one of the owners or other guests.
The menu is varied and everything is freshly cooked. The scones are light and fluffy!! It is very easy to eat a lot here 😀
Very easy to reach by bus and a wee walk from the station
We thoroughly enjoyed visiting.
