The Crab and Lobster is one of the oldest pubs on the island and used to be a coach house for the next door King Charles I Court.

Great atmosphere, live music on Friday nights and some other days too! (Use the website link to view their Facebook page and find out who's playing.)

The pub has been recently and tastefully refurbished, to offer a bar popular with locals and tourists alike.

This small and unique pub has a wonderful character and everyone is always welcomed. All bar staff are very friendly and you are guaranteed good 'banter' at the bar.

Bar food available.

Well worth a visit... Personally recommended by My Guide Isle of Wight!
