The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the Sunday roast.

It’s a dish that sets the standard for Sunday roasts, and I found myself savoring every bite.

“ Great local pub. Great friendly staff never had any problems since me and wife started going in there. And the Sunday roast is just perfect ”
“ First time I've been in here even though I've been to the island many a time. We went in for food and a few drinks. Now I wasn't expecting what we got food wise to be honest. " Never judge a book by it's cover" I was blown away with the food. Fresh and so tasty. ( just shame I didn't take pictures) In the few days we were on the island this was far by the best we had! It was fantastic. I am just sorry we didn't go back there again before we left. We will most definitely be going there when we return. The food, staff, atmosphere and the friendly locals should put this place on the map! It was a great evening...and decent music . I highly recommend this place. A great pub without all the pretentious thrills. ”
“ Great local pub! Warm welcoming and great atmosphere in the place, Phil & Sue the landlord and lady are a joy and Phil’s sense of humour is fantastic, will definitely be returning when back in Sandown ”
“ If you’re looking for a truly unique and unforgettable dining experience, this is the place to be! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the friendliest barmaid, who made us feel like locals instantly. The atmosphere is quirky and full of charm, with a few regulars that really added character to the place – you’ll leave with a few stories to tell for sure! And then there’s the dog – an absolute sweetheart who made our night even better with its friendly, tail-wagging company. It felt like having dinner with old friends in the coziest setting. But let’s talk about the food – hands down the best we had all week! Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with love. Whether you’re after a hearty meal or something more adventurous, you won’t be disappointed. We left with full bellies and big smiles, already planning our next visit. An absolute gem! ”
“ What a find, super little pub, warm friendly staff; restaurant was compact and bijou, food was fabulous! Crispy potato skins with oozing cheese, steak, soft and buttery, garlic chicken - very garlicky but superb, chips were great, crispy outside, fluffy inside! I indulged in a taste but the bread and butter pudding was lovely. Highly recommend this place based on today's fare. ”
