The Fishbourne

Right. Another “patron”here who will avoid the place due to car park fine. I am really sorry your car park has been abused by some people but sadly I don’t feel it should be my problem? Our 60 min visit ended up with 100 £ fine. And no , no one pointed out that anything has to be done to avoid the car park ticket. No we have not actively looked for boards with information because we never do it when going for a meal to the pub? And honestly - replying the same stuff to multiple customers who got trapped with that fine is not going to improve the situation.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed every second from a friendly welcome when we arrived to a cheery goodbye when we left. After a short walk from the ferry, you arrive at The Fishbourne, greeted by genuinely friendly staff who are more than happy to show you to your room. Our room was huge, with an en-suite bathroom and toiletries. Shower was powerful and the water hot. Lovely. Bottled water, tea and coffee making facilities in the room, with a pack of 2 biscuits. A very nice touch. A large bed with plenty of sockets to charge our devices, but do remember to bring a suitable plug and cable. Lots of storage in the room and enough hangers for our clothes so we were quickly unpacked and feeling at home. Loved the view out of the window across the Solent, we even saw a couple of cruise ships after they had left Southampton. Breakfast was tasty, whether it was from the cold selection on offer or the freshly made cooked. Really tasty sausages. Homemade granola was especially good as were the pastries. Service was always quick and the cooked food served piping hot. We loved our stay and can’t wait to return. Getting around the island by bus was easy and cheap with a stop about a 10 minute walk. We even found a scenic woodland walk to visit Ryde. Definitely recommend.

Staff were rude. Coffee was cold. People were complaining about food not being cooked properly, and cold, bacon was not crispy, bread was stale. Then to top that went in back entrance for my coffee (which was Luke warm) no visible signs anywhere, and got a parking ticket for parking and using their pub. Beware as staff don't invite or suggest to customers to register vehicles, just want every penny out of you. Never go there again, everyone is complaining about this place, it has gone down hill & needs sorting.

Just come back from 2. Nights at the Fishbourne inn Lovely accommodation lovely pub . The food was amazing and staff could not be more helpful . They had just had a very busy weekend for the festival however could not do enough for us , would highly recommend and like to stay again ! Compliments to the chef who gave us excellent food and a laugh along the way Thanks to all

Had the fish and chips. Very disappointing as the fish was very small and the batter was pale and rock hard. Plenty of chips though. But i pay £16 to get a decent sized piece of fish. I won't be going back.

Went for dinner with friends. did look a little dark from outside but inside was welcomed by lovely staff, nice decor. Its not the cheapest, but you pay for what you get. I had fish and triple cooked chips.. others had pizza staff very attentive.
