Fantastic location with great views. Authentic interior which is spacious and welcoming, regular live music and on the day of my visit the food was very good. Good selection of well kept ales and lagers, a haunt for locals and holidaymakers

The pub occupies an enviable location at the end of the esplanade with views over the beach below and out across the Channel. There is of course an extensive tiered outdoor terrace designed to make the best of the views plus some well positioned indoor tables with large viewing windows.
Inside there are various cubby holes, nooks and crannies and all kinds of maritime paraphernalia along the walls and across the low ceilings. Seating as far as I could see was at proper tables of varying size, flooring mainly tiled but some areas carpeted too.
Food obviously is important and the pub is unashamed to attract the tourists but portions are large and in our opinion on the day quality good. Prices reflect the location as you’d expect.
A few cask beers on, I failed to note them but there were a couple from Ringwood and also the local Goddards Fuggle Dee Dum.
Live music features regularly.
A decent spot, much better than I expected on approaching, great outside on a fine day but I imagine cosy and atmospheric on a stormy winter’s night.

A full-throttle holidaymaker pub, exceptionally located at the end the Esplanade with views over the bay. The multi-roomed interior is liberally covered in nautical tat; come to that much of the extensive tabled outside is also. If you can ignore the tourist overkill and avoid busy days, it is actually quite a pleasant cosy place for a pint, especially on a miserable day. Ales on were locals Wight Gold and Islander, and from Ringwood (Marstons) Razorback and 49er.
