A different real ale every week, well kept , along with good cider and German lager. Pool table and a good juke box and friendly locals.

Welcome back Steve. The beer and pub is very good, and the new food is worth a try.

Well kept beer, and a wonderful pub. The Taverners is now my favourite eating place on the Island, it really is the best place we have found, using only fresh local ingredients. Its a must try.

Under New Management and on the up! The beer is excellent, well kept and a good price. The food even better, well worth a try, we went to their first curry-night on Friday and you got a pint, curry and loads of extras for under 8 quid, and it was really superb, as are the 2 meals for �12 in the week. Try it soon.

I agree with KatieLou who drinks far too much blue wicked, the white hart is a great locals pub with some good beers on tap, pool and darts, and is very friendly and does indeed raise a lot of money for the local hospice...Hi to KatieLou and Taff!!

Used to be a great pub this, good beer/food and a real locals pub, prime location opposite Osborne House and should serve the whole upper part of the town. The latest managers are however seeming to be upsetting a lot of locals, and I wasnt impressed by the quality and cost of the beer or food. Cooky by name not by nature, biggest meals in the world mind well so he said, and he once cooked for the Queen, Micheal Jackson and ET.

I am a regular (probaly too regular) of this pub and want to have my say....
This pub is one of the 'real drinking pubs' left in Cowes, East or West - everywhere in Cowes is being taken over by 'the last stand of middle class Britian who have no money but like people to think they have' Margo Ledbetter from the Goodlife types and wannabe yachties. Happy to decorate pubs in knotted rope and flags and serve very expensive/low quality beer and make you wear those horrid yellow wellies :-)
Respect to real Yachties who all live in Monaco with page 3 models so im told! Thats my citizen smith bit over - power to the working class shove your yacht up your ****
Over Cowes Week we hosted one of the top class Yacht teams in the world who drank in the White Hart rather than in Cowes for all the reason's above, they were looking for good beer and banter again this year
Here in the White Hart the local's are friendly and enjoy some silly banter at the bar - see above :-), remember that if you don't want to join in go sit down or go in the rather well decorated back bar, if you like a laugh stand at the bar and get stuck in. I suspect anyone who rates cafe's (I cant call it a pub) like the LifeBoat would never warm to this pub. As for the smell - DOH - that's the Sea not the pub! Probaly smells similar up the Lifeboat (the sea does go right round the Island you know even up the river medina) or it could be the smell of the microwave meals they serve!!
Any 'local' knows the East Cowes smell on a hot day, low tide when the seaweed is cooking.
Great to hear from our aussie buddies, G'day to you too mate, I wont mention the cricket. A rather jolly hello to all those who use the White Hart and also the Victoria Tavern also in East Cowes, real pubs with great beers and genuine drinkers. Where else offers German lager on tap, and different real ales every week, pool table, darts and a great juke box!
I recommend this pub to all the real drinkers out there - who like good beer and company...those who don't go to the Ship or the Lifeboat.
