Crab and Lobster Inn

Spectacular oean views. good food. room is clean and comfortable.

We had lunch with our children aged 6 and 9. I was aware of this place before visiting the Isle of wight and was one of my places I wanted to visit purely for the potential seafood options available. The menu was varied with plenty of seafood options to which we opted for the seafood platter to share. This was pricey but expected as they usually are. The kids options were good with both going for a burger. The outside seating area has stunning views of the sea and we were blessed with very hot weather. The platter looked great however I did feel a bit disappointed in that if it weren't for the chips, salad and mussels I would have still been hungry as the rest of the platter only consisted of a whole seabass, a few prepared prawns and then a few whole prawns and langostines. I guess there is a reason to return to try something else from the menu. Both kids were satisfied so overall it was a good meal.

Good and bad, booked nab room for my birthday and anniversary, when we arrived at 4.pm ish went straight to nab room, omg it was freezing, couldn't work heating, husband went and asked how to work it and they didn't know but 30 minutes later heating came on, well slightly, 2 thirds of radiator didn't work, room very big and lots windows, never have I spent the evening in my coat and scarf in a hotel. We were both very cold. Went for booked meal which was good and had glass of free procecco each for our celebration, which was nice. Got back to room and still very cold,still cold in night and morning. Room was OK but needs a bit off TLC. Great views. Good breakfast but ordered poached eggs and crispy bacon chef forgot bacon and had to wait. Think the place are concentrateing on bar and food. Staff and manager tryed but not sorted, not really good enough or of place to go in winter time.
