Best restaurants on the Isle of Wight
– Wouldn’t be an Isle of Wight restaurant guide without some seafood!
1. Crab and Lobster Inn, Bembridge
32 Forelands Field Rd, Bembridge PO35 5TR
My boyfriend and I found the Crab and Lobster Inn by accident. A happy, delicious accident as we were lost in the depths of Bembridge. It’s a traditional Isle of Wight pub, but serves excellent, above standard food with a seafood theme. They proudly serve locally sourced seafood and island reared meats.
– Yum! Definitely one of the best Isle of Wight restaurants!
I went for the Moules Marinière for a starter and then the cold seafood platter for a main. Both were an absolute taste sensation. If you want seafood on the Isle of Wight, then this is one of the best places to go.
Definitely one of the best Isle of Wight pubs I’ve come across.
