| The Travellers Joy is not the easiest pub to get to at the weekend on public transport. During the week the 32 bus runs past. At the weekend, you have to walk down from Northwood after taking the number 1. But it's worth the effort, with the largest selection of real ales in this area of the island. Ales on were Island Wight Gold & Earl's RDA, Brains The Rev James, Camerons Press Gang, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Theakston Old Peculier & Butcombe Yeti. It was also one of only two pubs I found serving real cider - Biddendens Bushells. The main bar had some locals clustered around the bar. A side room has a pool table. At the rear was a garden with several tables overlooking fields. It was popular with wasps and flying ants. There is also a children's play area with a climbing frame, a slide and a boat. We walked back up to the village to do the much more inferior Horseshoe Inn (not listed on here). But the Travellers Joy is recommended. blue_scrumpy - 23 Aug 2015 13:07 |
| For me one of the best pubs on the island. Very good selection of ales, really friendly, good food. I try to visit as often as I can. Hopsplease - 29 Apr 2013 12:27 |
| Excellent, atmospheric and friendly pub with 8 ales on offer. A little too much emphasis on national brands(Tribute, Courage etc) but two beers were from the island. Well worth the walk from Cowes and highly recommended. baxterfish - 3 Nov 2010 07:33 |
| This is one of the best pubs on the island. Always has a fine selection of ales available (about eight I believe) and food is fairly priced. I'm a visitor to the island and try to visit the Travellers Joy when I'm there. Some island estblishments are these family orientated, plastic fake tourist trap type places. I'm sure tourists love them, but I don't. I like the traditional, take it or leave it boozer, which is what the Travellers Joy is. Jonnysaint - 25 Mar 2010 16:19 |
