A nice old pub - flagstone floor and decent beer. Had some lovely crab sandwiches and not a bad price for food in the IoW. Staff upset my partner who paid by credit card when they asked if he wanted to add a tip before he'd even tasted his food. How would you know yet?

My wife got served a hair in her food here and because it was in a seperate vegetable bowl they worked out what percentage of the meal that was and offered me £1.60 back.

On the strength of that truly abysmal customer service I will never visit the pub again.

My wife and I found out about The Buddle Inn through an Isle of Wight brochure. We found this pub to have a lot of history, it is really a beautiful pub. Not only that but when we first stopped in for a mid-day pint the bartender was very hospitable and she shared some of the history of the place. The pub overlooks the water and is very picturesque. I enjoyed a Flowers bitter and my wife enjoyed a Carling. Later that evening after touring the southern part of the island we stopped back for a terrific dinner. I am baffled that this pub has a rating lower than an 8. I think the place is under new ownership because it was one of the nicest pubs we visited in England. - Dean

Walking the coastal path from Ventnor to Chale a Sunday in August The Buddle in was the perfect place to dine. After a visit down to the Lighthouse we had a good lunch at the pub. The place was crowded as we arrived (all outside seatings were occupied), but it's not a problem waiting for your meal as long as they serve proper ale.
A pub full of character, worth visiting.

The Buddle Inn's location reminds me of the Bankes Arms in Studland, Dorset. It has the same amazing views across the English Channel and the same olde worlde feel to it; your typical country pub. Good beer, nice atmosphere and a reasonable seating area out front with a decent car park across the road. We visited on a very quiet Monday night in October, when there were only two other people there, trying to decide what to order from the good-looking menu. We'd already ordered (the Buddle Pie - with apricot, thyme and chicken - and cajun chicken) and waited only 15 minutes for it to be served, but it was only so-so. The pie was good but the veg were undercooked (the menu said they are cooked "al dante" - I'd say they were merely shown the pan of boiling water). By the way, my rating for the pub is heavily swayed by the ambience and the views. It's best visited at lunchtime during the week, preferably outside the tourist season if you're planning to eat.
