About The Fighting Cocks
The Fighting Cocks pub/restaurant at Arreton has now been in the ownership of Sam and Donna Shaw since early November 2015.

Speaking of their new venture to provide a helicopter landing site, Sam said that they were delighted to be able to be able to offer a unique Island destination for hire pilots and helicopter owners to “land and lunch” surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Arreton Valley.
