Probably the most photographed pub in the Country and one, which has adorned many a chocolate box along with the surrounding Old Village of Shanklin.  Although the exterior is largely unspoilt, a major refurbishment has robbed the interior of much of its character, but still hugely popular in the Summer months.  Food served all day and one beer alternates in the winter. The also have a local ale on in the summer.
