The Globe

The Globe is an independent waterfront pub and restaurant on The Parade in Cowes, with views across the Solent and a setting closely linked to the town’s sailing culture. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a menu centred on steak, seafood and fresh local ingredients. Meat is reared on the Isle of Wight, while speciality steaks are dry-aged on site using Himalayan salt.

The drinks list includes ale, cocktails, champagne, hot beverages and takeaway coffee, giving the venue a range of options for a full meal, a casual drink or a break beside the water. The bar and restaurant provide an indoor setting, while a ground-floor terrace and rooftop lounge terrace extend the seating outdoors. Sea views are available from the indoor and outdoor seating areas.

The rooftop lounge has a more informal drinks-led character, suited to watching yachts pass across the Solent or gathering for an afternoon or evening occasion. The venue also stages events connected with live music, sailing and sport, with programming that can add to the atmosphere during busier periods in Cowes. Sunday roast lunches with live music form part of the venue’s regular offering.

Private use is available for wedding receptions, private dinners, corporate gatherings, parties and yachting events. The outdoor terraces and restaurant areas provide options for larger bookings, while the bar and dining rooms suit smaller meals and drinks. The Globe therefore works for visitors looking for waterfront dining, an informal drink, a group celebration or an event space in Cowes.

The venue is dog friendly in the ground-floor terrace and bar areas, and the building is accessible for people with disabilities. Its position on The Parade makes it a practical choice for combining food or drinks with time around Cowes waterfront, particularly during sailing events and other town activities.
