The Golden Bowler, Stubbington

Nice pub serving good real ale and food. Stopped by for Sunday lunch (which was very nice) accompanied by a pint of Ruddy Darter. I've been in once before and look forward to popping in again to work my way through the 4 ales they have on.

The Vectis Tavern, Cowes

Agree with the previous comments. Straight forward boozer. Bigger than it seems with space to sit out back. Will pop in again when I'm Cowes bound.

The Hare and Hounds, Arreton

Handy for the Bestival. Well, that's if you object to paying the £4.20 they charge for a can of Bulmers cider, Root beer or whatever the hell it was.
The Hare & Hounds supplied me with Goddards Fuggle Dee Dum of a good quality throughout the weekend. Apart from the odd festival goer, there weren't many other people present. Service was always prompt and courteous. The interior was spacious - nothing memorable however. Can't remember the other ale available at the time (this was September 2012) due to the Fuggle.
