Nestled in the heart of Bembridge High Street, this quirky traditionally-styled building is reputed to have been serving pints since 1787. These days, Landlord Jay Chapman is continuing this fine tradition and sources real ales from across the country to ensure there are always four on the pump and an ever-changing selection.

It’s not just excellent ales and wines that the Village Inn offers. Home cooked food is served every day. The main pub menus are complemented with an extensive specials board using locally sourced produce. The head chef prides himself on using produce that is fresh, seasonal and local. Working with partners in the village such as The Farm Shop and Woodfords the Butchers, they are able to create dishes that are not only in season, but also extremely tasty.

You will find regular events such as quizzes and live music, as well as a beer festival in the warmer months.
