Now called the Dark Horse. Nice pub with excellent food - the cod & chips was superb, if a little pricey.Good local ales(Goddard's Fuggle-De-Dum & Island Nipper) and you can meet Bill & Ben on the way to the toilets.

Superb pub. Superb bar staff superb beer and clean.
Well worth a visit for a drink or a meal, but gets very busy for food trade so book. the owners are fantastic. WELL DONE
|
Now owned by the couple who used to run the White Horse at Whitwell on the island, and it's just as good. The pubb retains the character it had previously. Had a good pint of Abbot and Fuggle-De-Dum (local brew), as well as Ruddles Best but didn't try that. Also had a tip top meal. All in all highly recommended and will be back soon.

Thankfully recently re-opened. Now called the Dark Horse. A major save from greedy developers. Will definitely visit in a few weeks time. Use it or lose it, as the saying goes.

This pub is no more.
It is deceased.
Gone to that pub heaven in the sky.
(apologies to Monty Python)

Now no longer a pub and a planning app. in to change to housing.
|
Oh dear just got back from yearly hols on the island was hoping it might have changed
|
This used to be our favourite pub and eatery on the island visited many times and never had cause for complaint at any time. On our last visit Sept 2006 we discovered it had changed hands and was now called the Smart Fox but we decided to give it a chance. Oh what a disappointment everything had changed and our experience was pretty much as described by Dave-20 Aug 2006 (although we did not get our money back)We will not go there again! Does anyone know if the previous owners have taken on another pub on the island. Please let me know!!!

Now called the "Smart Fox"

I went here two weeks ago the management has changed and so has the food. My wife was given a warm glass of white wine when we remarked on this we were ask if they could put ice cubes in glass.The salad was old and brown and the chips appeared to be reheated the steak was full of grisel to their credit we were not charged for the meal but from the best pub on the island it now has a lot of catching up to do see the other pubs I visted mabye the owner ought to try and vist them to.
|
got to be the best place i have been the food is like something from ready steady cook very filling and the staff are great i just hope that it stays the same
|
Have eaten here on several occasions, both Lunch and Dinner. Food is excellent and of high quality.
Down side for me is customer smoking-you can't escape it.
|
The Snooty Fox has now become a 'must' on our periodic visits to the Island. Restaurant is excellent with imaginative menu,food well prepared and portions almost too large to a fault! Good and friendly service at very reasonable prices. Last visit 16 Oct 04. Would recommend!

The Snooty Fox is the best pub I have visited in a long time. Their lunch menu is superb (I had the chicken, ham and mushroom pie which was divine), the service was wonderful and prices were very reasonable. I reccommend it highly.
