A fantastic trip to the Isle of Wight

We had a fantastic trip to the Isle of Wight thanks to the Inns of Distinction; with a brilliant tribute event night at The Boathouse with a truly delicious meal, friendly and efficient staff and very enjoyable entertainment with their solo vocalist/guitarist Ben, followed by a superb overnight stay at The Fishbourne’s lovely accommodation and breakfast. We cannot praise Inns of Distinction enough – their pubs, dining & accommodation rooms, beautiful décor, delicious food, service and staff are faultless. Highly recommended; we will certainly be back for more of their Event nights!

“Fabulous Mothering Sunday Lunch!”

My mum and I went to the Boathouse on what was a busy Mothering Sunday Lunch, and we had a lovely time. We found the staff to be attentive and helpful, even noticing when my mum’s wine glass was low and offering us more drinks whilst we were dining. We both had meals off the specials board, and as we aren’t massive eaters we were pleased with the “smaller appetite” option, this meant there was room for dessert! The desserts were just as tasty, and superbly presented, we left very contented and felt not only we had value for money but that our custom was appreciated

“Wonderful weekend at The Fishbourne”

Just spent three days at The Fishbourne celebrating 80th birthday. Really suberb accomodation and very friendly staff nothing being too much trouble. Excellent food at breakfast and dinner. Great location for anyone using the car ferry. Literally just round the corner. Will certainly be returning in the future when visiting family on the Isle.

“Brilliant Christmas meal, so much so have been back twice since!”

Went here for a work christmas meal. I always panick about christmas meals as they are usually mass produced and rubbish, the food at this pub could not be further from that! Awesome turkey, lovely fresh vegetables and brilliant fluffy roast potatoes! Fantastic surroundings and this has become a gem in Puckpool! Been back twice since the christmas meal and have not been dissapointed! Am spreading the word, a brilliant addition to great eateries on the Island!
