We caught the IOW ferry from Portsmouth on the 8th April at 6pm and thought that we would round of the evening with a nice meal at the Fishbourne - little did we now this would spoil the whole evening - we arrived at just after 6.45pm having booked a table. At 8pm we left the premises having waited for an hour and a quarter for the meal. The staff did not even communicate with us until we asked at 7.45pm where the meal was to be told we are doing our best. A table of six people also left without eating. I have contacted The Fishbourne about this incident and they have not had the decency to reply. We have visited the Fishbourne many time as we visit the IOW regularly, but I can assure you this is the last time. It would have been nice to have received an apology from The Fishbourne the day after the event as they had my wifes email for the booking, but up today we have had no apology or reply to my email - very poor customer care and a another very disgruntled customer

Outstanding Fish and Chips, Outstanding service from all the staff with a traditional pub feel. We highly recommend this pub, its tucked away in Fishbourne and has the most beautiful surroundings with stunning sea views and offers something for everyone.

Great location, wonderful food, a warm welcome all at a fair price. Faultless. We were walking the coastal path from Ryde, this overnight stop with dinner was the perfect end to a great day. Plus seeing Red squirrels after breakfast made it extra special.

Stayed for 3 nights and loved it. Room was so comfortable, well furnished and plenty of room and a sea view. Breakfasts were very good with lots of choices and ample hot options . Dinners were great and the desserts even better. Hosts and staff were so friendly. Prepared us a takeaway breakfast on the last day as we were leaving early to get the ferry. Highly recommended. Ample parking too.

Right. Another “patron”here who will avoid the place due to car park fine. I am really sorry your car park has been abused by some people but sadly I don’t feel it should be my problem? Our 60 min visit ended up with 100 £ fine. And no , no one pointed out that anything has to be done to avoid the car park ticket. No we have not actively looked for boards with information because we never do it when going for a meal to the pub? And honestly - replying the same stuff to multiple customers who got trapped with that fine is not going to improve the situation.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every second from a friendly welcome when we arrived to a cheery goodbye when we left. After a short walk from the ferry, you arrive at The Fishbourne, greeted by genuinely friendly staff who are more than happy to show you to your room. Our room was huge, with an en-suite bathroom and toiletries. Shower was powerful and the water hot. Lovely. Bottled water, tea and coffee making facilities in the room, with a pack of 2 biscuits. A very nice touch. A large bed with plenty of sockets to charge our devices, but do remember to bring a suitable plug and cable. Lots of storage in the room and enough hangers for our clothes so we were quickly unpacked and feeling at home. Loved the view out of the window across the Solent, we even saw a couple of cruise ships after they had left Southampton. Breakfast was tasty, whether it was from the cold selection on offer or the freshly made cooked. Really tasty sausages. Homemade granola was especially good as were the pastries. Service was always quick and the cooked food served piping hot. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Getting around the island by bus was easy and cheap with a stop about a 10 minute walk. We even found a scenic woodland walk to visit Ryde. Definitely recommend.
