Tucked away on Bembridge Ledge with a pretty garden overlooking the sea, the Crab & Lobster is a lovely spot for a spot of fresh seafood and good pub grub. Located on the Easternmost point of the island and part of the Character Inns Group, it serves up fresh, locally-sourced seafood and Island reared meats. If the tide is out, the nippers will love exploring rockpools on the stony Forelands beach.

If you’re thinking of staying in Bembridge, with its quiet beaches, gorgeous coastal walks and the Island’s only windmill, the Crab & Lobster’s tidy ensuite B&B rooms, some with far-reaching sea views, are well worth a look.
