Looking for an Isle of Wight pub that’s now open post-lockdown, to meet up with friends at this weekend?
News OnTheWight has been busy getting in touch and gathering data from as many Isle of Wight pubs with outside space as possible – It’s been quite a task – but we want to support readers who want to be outside and the Island’s hospitality industry.
Time with friends and family
Of course, getting out to a pub doesn’t have to mean drinking alcohol or getting drunk – there’s plenty of fun to be had chatting with friends and families while quaffing soft drinks.
While the list we’ve gathered is as comprehensive as possible, we haven’t heard back from some pubs (perhaps because they are not opening), but below is the information data that those pubs opening have given us, those who opened on Monday 12th and others who plan to open today or over the weekend. Many thanks to Tim, Mike and John of IW CAMRA for their expert knowledge in helping tie up the stragglers too.
(BTW – If you own/run a pub that is going to be open today, but isn’t on the list below, just fill in this quick form and we’ll get you added asap)
The list
Here’s the info – Pubs are listed alphabetically – but on desktop computers you can reorder the columns just by clicking at the top of them. There’s also a search feature.
Don’t forget, when you head off to the pubs, wrap up warm – you’ll be sitting outside after all. As people can only be outside, most of them are on a ‘weather permitting’ basis, with a few having set up marquees.
They’re often on a first come, first served basis, but a few have bookings.
Gov rules
Government have mandated that some Covid rules still apply – Groups can be no larger than six people or two households. Check-ins for each member of the group are needed. There’s no general mixing, beyond the table you’re sitting at. Masks must be worn for trips to the loo.
That aside – News OnTheWight hopes you have a great time if you get out to support your local Isle of Wight pub.
