Lovely looking pub. But smaller on the inside than you expect. Though I think there was an upstairs dining area too. A somewhat typical decor inside, warming log burners, comfy seats, but tables all fairly close to each other.However food was well worth it. Crab and lobster soup was superb, prawn cocktail was full of tasty prawn. Duck in blackberry and port sauce was excellent. Burger was one of the best I've tasted. Thick tasty fresh meat. Excellent crispy chips. Portions huge! Recommend this place. And suggest you book a table in advance. We were lucky but it was a wet Monday night.

Came with some friends for a Sunday roast! Whilst the food took a while to come out, for £4.50 for a âsmallâ portion and a hot tasty roast, canât complain! Staff really friendly and polite. Would definitely recommend to book your table in advance! Will be coming back on my next Isle of Wight trip.

For a family-friendly restaurant and bar with real ale, freshly ground coffee and an outside eating area with a spectacular view of the beach and Sandown Bay, you can't do better than come to Flanagan's on Pier Street. Try one of our fantastic burgers mad

Lovely little country pub with separate dining area. Decor is fine, the restaurant area looks very recently done in fact. We had smoked haddock and the steak special, both very tasty, nicely presented. Good pub fare at a reasonable price. We shared slice of chocolate/strawberry cheesecake which was light and pleasing. Coffee average but fine with dessert. We booked ahead and the lady on the phone was very pleasant. All staff friendly and welcoming making for a very nice evening meal. Doorway in was a little tight to accommodate a wheelchair but manageable with care and ramp up helped. Highly recommended based on this visit.

Was recommended to eat here by our B&B owner who also told us to make sure we booked as it is small and usually very busy. Real old fashioned charming village pub with an italian menu comprising pizza and pasta and much more. Went for the "life changing" lasagne which was very nice and the wife had the sea bass which was served on a bed of tagiatelle also very good. Service is good and friendly staff made it a nice atmosphere for a pleasant evening.

Our first time here for a meal and we were initially happy. Nice restaurant/pub with a nice ambiance. Menu choices were rather small which was disappointing and prices were higher that most competitors in the area. I was rather amazed that when choosing a Burger the chips were an extra charge of £2. Rather odd because who has a burger meal without the chips. My wife chose to have sweet potato chips with hers and our friend had pork belly with sweet potato chips. However the chips turned up and were almost cold. On mentioning this to the staff they were immediately replaced.We dine out collectively as a group once a month but would not rate the Taverners as one of the best we have eaten in, although we will return again to see how things fare next time.

The modest frontage hides a large dining area, and though the car park is small there is more parking not far uphill. Interesting menu with a good gluten free selection served by genuinely helpful, interested and engaging staff. Big portions so you may not need a starter or dessert! Almost merits five stars but the food was a bit cold and my fish slightly over cooked ( though there was a sudden rush of people just as we arrived) and there is stiff competition on the island in god pub food. Donât let my rating put you off as weâd certainly go again.

Stopped here on a Monday lunchtime for some refreshment after a 20 minutes ride from the ferry at East Cowes. Good beer as youâd expect from Fullers. Friendly and helpful staff in a lovely cosy bar. Food was delicious and beautifully presented, especially the ploughmans lunch.

We called here having been on the Steam railway and it was a gem of a find. Friendly staff and a great choice of food. We had prawns in a rose Marie sauce in white bread, Two lamb pies, with lots of lamb in and two ploughman's. All very good portions. Possibly the best meal we had on the Isle of Wight. £42.06 for five of us including drink it was very good value
