The old Commercial Hotel has undergone a complete change since Geoffrey Hartridge made it the base for his 5 barrel brewery and gave it a trendy new name.  Now reverting to a more customer friendly name of  the ''Old Comical'' as all the locals know it.  Now plenty of wood and stone floors, benches and memorabilia.  The skittle alley alas is no more and this rare pastime is no longer available on the Island.   Outside is a large garden with kids area and a petanque terrain.   Conveniently places is a public car park right next to the pub. Other treats is a large outside area,
