The Crab & Lobster Inn

We didn’t stay in a room so can’t comment on that, 5* for everything else. The restaurant does not realise they served a Lord and Lady. We were pleasantly surprised to be welcomed with a smile, at one point I felt like i wanted to give a hug like I haven’t seen a mate for a long time and arrived at his/her home, the mannerisms, personalities were all there. 5* The cleanliness, services, all there! We all had separate dishes and we all were very satisfied. Lady Bassett was the main one to impress, she was extremely satisfied with her lobster. She ate it like a feral champion. “It was delicious” 5* Location is nicely tucked away, peaceful with a spectacular view, it was unfortunate we couldn’t stay for long as the weather was dull and wet, but we can see amazing it is. Thank you so much!

Dropped in for a quick drink with my family. We sat outside and admired the view of the ocean. Inside the pub they had an open fire with a table for 2 right in front. It looked like a perfect spot to spend an hour or 2 having a drink on a cold and winters day. Got a discount on drinks (⅓ off) with their app, worth looking into.

We stopped here for a quick bite so cannot comment in depth one way or the other... But.. it is a lovely cosy pub, and the food we did have was excellent... I had a baked brie, and my wife had the seafood soup... Both were delicious... Service was great,.and prices not bad... We would definitely go back to eat a full meal there as and when we get the chance again....

It was a warm and sunny day when we visited (8 of us), so we decided to have our meal al fresco. The place was very busy and there was a longish wait for the food. Overall, service was satisfactory, but not excellent. For example, we asked for some tartare sauce, but it never arrived. The one downside with this restaurant is that you have to wend your way through narrow roads and when you get there, there aren't many parking spaces. Bien, mais pas génial.

Really fab place. Hidden gem. I loved inside ...so much to look at. Fantastic service although it was the Area Manager that was front of house. Food was fantastic but I was disappointed with the prawns. Frozen perhaps...a couple of big fresh prawns would have been better. Go early or book in advance.

Can’t comment on rooms as went for a meal only. We had a booking for a family meal for my nieces birthday, all the staff were great and mentioned her birthday to her. The location is lovely, above a beautiful beach which we popped to whilst we were waiting for food. We realised that we were going to be tight catching the last hovercraft to the mainland and the floor manager went out of his way to find a taxi for us (not the easiest on the island) to get us there on time so the rest of the family didn’t have to rush their food to take us. Really appreciated this fantastic customer service as it meant we could all enjoy our meals - which were delicious!

Called to book a table. On arrival, we were greeted and shown our table strsight away. Very friendly staff, humorous and smiles on their faces. Our drinks were served with 10mins and orders place with 10mins after that. Reasonable waiting time before our orders appears. It is important to point out that the food are suitably hot and delicious. The presentation of the Signature Dish could be slightly improved - in a 2 tiers system with hot items on the lower tier and cold items on the top tier. But this is my personal preference only. Whaf was important for me was the temperature of the hot items and suitably cool items. My last words to the Manager was "The trip has not been wasted" So I can thoroughly recommend this place for the seafood lovers. We will be returning on our next visit to IOW soon. .
