| Disagree with Hoggman. This is a real gem offering excellent food, great beer in a lovely traditional setting. Service is first rate. This is a very small pub so no surprises it is difficult to book in August. We had the best Lasagne I have ever eaten. Courage Best was excellent but do agree with the comments that the beer range could be better. Visit the pub, enjoy the atmosphere and surroundings, sit on the patio if the weather is nice. The best pub on the Island. A 10 in my book. potrix - 28 Dec 2011 22:37 |
| Very dissapointed - stayed just around the corner in Bonchurch itself and after reading some of the other reviews on this site tried all week (repeatedly) to book a table whilst out and about (and able to get a mobile phone signal). Kept getting an answerphone message - the only time I did finally get through was 6.30 in the evening and they were fully booked. Thus unable to comment on the food or beer as I am not part of that 'initiated' clique of patrons that actually know how to make contact! hoggman - 26 Aug 2011 16:05 |
| Now, beer wise this is not the most exciting place (Courage Directors and Best and, seemingly, never anything else) but it does fine food and it's very characteful so I can understand the high ratings. JonW999 - 3 Aug 2011 01:46 |
| The Courage Directors was first rate and the fillet steak (cooked rare as requested) was truly wonderful. A beautiful traditional old world pub locked in a time warp - highly recommended. BazzersTravels - 30 Jul 2010 22:29 |
| What a stunner, quirky, yes, but beautiful with excellent food. The crab sandwich was the best I'd had for years. Directors on gravity was in tip top conditon. addlened - 7 May 2010 09:15 |
