Scruffy Jacks, Sandown

Always worth a visit, brilliant staff and a great view of the beach etc. You can even order food from the cafe opposite and they serve it to you at your table in the bar. The whole Pier is great value for money and the pub is the icing on the cake :)

The Bugle Inn, Brading

Finally decided to visit this pub after spending a few years visiting the IOW. Went for Sunday lunch and I must say the food was excellent. Carvery-style and very very plentiful and satisfying. The only problem was was the staff... It felt like the manageress and her three young girl staff must have had the most horrific argument that morning and they all hated each other for some reason. Not only could you cut the atmosphere with a knife, the service was appalling. I even tried to say thankyou and goodbye to the manageress and she simply carried on making comments to a colleague and looked right through me. What an absolute shame especially as the IOW relies on the tourist trade and this level of service wont see me coming back.

Apple Tree, West Green

Lets get this place on the map!

Karaoke is every Thursday (courtesy of me) and its a great night. Often there are live acts on Saturdays and a great jam sesson on Wednesdays. Beer is good and hours flexible. Smoking arrangements are easy with direct access to the garden from the bar with a good layout etc.

See you there!?!??!?!
