Lovely food, very friendly staff. Quirky. Good choice of games to keep kids (and big kids) entertained. Really enjoyed it.

Definitely recommend a visit here. It's a beautiful looking traditional pub. Great drink selection, recommend The Ale of Wight if it's on. We enjoyed it so much we went back for Sunday lunch, which was delicious. Service was really welcoming and friendly.

As a young family with an 8 month old, this place was exactly what we needed while visiting Ventnor. The most welcoming pub we visited for the week we visited to the point that most nights we'd come for a drink with the little one. I cannot overstate how great it was to feel genuinely welcome in a pub far from home. The food is home-made and uncomplicated, again a perfect offering for a safe evening with a little one in tow. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone I know visiting the area!

2 minute walk from main centre car park. Deceptively spacious Inn off the main Ventnor Centre just round to the left from the Ventnor Heritage Centre. Reputedly once the only Inn in Ventnor and visited by Charles I. Staff friendly. Nice atmosphere with comfy sofa seats at one end. Large bar. Large TV presume will show sports. Music videos shown on my visit in afternoon. Dog friendly inside. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Absolutely fantastic! The staff are very attentive, condiments come out before your meal, huge plus to me. This is where to go for your Sunday roast! £10 a roast! Dessert £4 95 I recommend the ice cream sundae, Not only Great value for money, but great food too!! I had roast beef and turkey, Absolutely beautiful turkey was cooked to perfection. A choice of beef, pork, turkey and gammon with vegan options also available. A bottle of cõtes du rhõne for just £18.50 :-)) I WILL BE BACK FANTASTIC

This pub is great. An amazing Sunday roast, Which was home cooked for £10 and lovely pudding. A lovely bottle of French red wine for under £20 and amazing bar staff to add to the experience . Forget the tourist pubs in Ventnor and come here instead.

Smashing cosy locally run pub :) Staff were really friendly & accommodating, food & drinks were great. Plus dog friendly. We enjoyed a nice chilled afternoon playing the pub’s cards & board games, then tucked into some nice homemade food. Recommend the fish pie for hearty homemade grub.

What an absolute pleasure it was coming to this fine establishment! We were looking for a homely pub meal which was family friendly and the Crab and Lobster Tap certainly delivered! The owners were so lovely and welcoming and the food was simply yummy! We tried their fish,chips and mushy peas, the seafood pie with potato mash on the top, the gammon ham, eggs, chips and peas and the kids enjoyed chicken nuggets and chips. For our pudding we had sticky date pud with ice cream and rhubarb crumble with custard....an absolute delight to eat! It is simple foods done really well. A lot of love and amazing service makes this super special and we will definitely return again one day!
