Nearest town
Ventnor (¾ mile)
Ventnor is the place to go if you enjoy a vibrant arts scene or botanical gardens. It seems a little warmer here all year-round, hence the flora and plentiful fish make it a great spot for anglers. Most of the island crab comes from here.

A warm welcome
We booked for a meal at The Taverners after first visiting there for a drink earlier in the week. We received a warm friendly welcome and the food was excellent, plenty of choice with daily specials and a bit different to the norm. . The service was excellent and very prompt. Their local brew was also good. I would definitely recommend this establishment and would visit again when I am next on the Isle.
The Royal Hotel (¼ mile)
With 2 AA Rosettes achieved for over eighteen consecutive years, you are assured amazing food and excellent service here. Call in for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner and choose between relaxed, informal or fine dining.
Ventnor Golf Club (¼ mile)
Ventnor is home to the oldest golf course on the island and has panoramic views over countryside and the English Channel. It has twelve holes with six being played twice and is 5700 yards, par 70. Visitors are very welcome and the club is open daily from 7am until dusk.
The Ale and Oyster (½ mile)
Located on the Esplanade overlooking Ventor Bay, this bar serves fresh fish from the bay and island reared beef. Even the bread and butter is made in house. Coffee served all day.
The Pointer Inn (5 miles)
Traditional pub grub but with a difference. Locals are offered a bartering exchange system where they provide local produce in exchange for meals or drinks. Great idea and upholds their intent to use local products. A garden with views across the downs and a large terrace are available for summer dining. Child and dog friendly. You may wish to book; this is a very popular place.
February 2017
This is a beautiful traditional pub that serves excellent food and has staff that will go the extra mile. I love that you can order some of the dishes from the menu as a smaller portion so there is no food waste. All food is locally sourced and they can even tell you the name of the person who grew it!
