A very pricey evening!!!! I would not go back to this place, they must be surviving on the reputation of the previous owners. I have been on holiday to the Bembridge area for three summers in a row and never managed to make a trip to this place until now. The name of the place evokes images of FRESH seafood... More

We went to the Crab & Lobster for a last night enjoyable meal, there was 3 adults along with 1 child. I can truly say the service was terrible, we stood waiting to order a meal for ages ( the restauraunt was empty), when we were finally recognised the staff were ignorant and unfriendly. When our food finally arrived we... More

We both had the fish mixed grill which wasnt quite what we thought but was lovely fish and cooked well. We both had dessert and wished we hadnt bothered, small portion and no flavour. Our evening was spoilt by a party in the middle of the room one of whom liked the sound of her own voice. If you read... More

We visited further to a recommendation from our hotel & reading other positive reviews on here. It did not disappoint ... Cosy surroundings with friendly, efficient service. We did not book so waited for a table but would definitely recommend booking as the place fills up quickly from bookings alone. Good choice of menu .. We enjoyed the pint of... More

First I will say that I always give fair, balanced reviews. And I believe in leaving an excellent review where warranted. Not today. I'm a regular traveller around the UK with my business and many times people have told me to try the Crab and Lobster if I'm ever on the Isle Of Wight. The name Crab and Lobster implies... More

Had a great week-end break in Bembridge and had the pleasure of dining at the Crab & Lobster. Staff were really friendly as were the locals. The food was excellent, especially the 'sharing' sea food platter. We will definitely be going back there.

We have just really enjoyed a 2 night stay at the Crab & Lobster - within minutes of arriving, we were greeted by Mel and felt very welcome. He showed us to our lovely, clean room (the last time we had a bed that "big" was on our honeymoon)!! We ate in the pub and the food/breakfast was delicious ....... More

After a 7hr journey from West Yorkshire my wife and I arrived at 8.45 and ordered drinks at the bar. Asking for a menu, elicited the response from the ,less than cheerful barman. that we had 'better be quick as the kitchen closes at 9.00'. our meal arrived and was delicious ! We visited again for an 'early doors' drink... More

We had lunch at the Crab and Lobster on a sunny day. The Ploughman's was excellent and the piccalilli served with it was freshly made, included fresh coriander, and was superb. Service was similarly good. As we dined al-fresco, we overlooked the Eastern approaches to the Solent. The scenery and atmosphere was unbeatable.
