Ventnor Brewery
4 from the Badger Range.
A unique operation on the site of the original Arreton Barn, resurrected from the ashes is a brand new craft and drinking experience. If it’s for a cup of tea and a scone, or browse in the many craft and gift shops, or a pint from the Scarecrow Brewery, then this is the place to come. Located next to the brewery, is a shop where you will find a selection of Island brewed bottled beers, take home a few and have your holiday memories with a bottle of ale. The full menu starts at 6 o’clock, but if it’s a hearty snack provided from the shortened menu, that you are after, then that is provided throughout the day. Always a good selection of beers brewed by the Islands four Breweries, supplemented by a selection from the Badger Brewery range. Why not take a stroll to the 11th century church of St George, passing the remains of the ancient barn and the original carp pond that supported nearby monks, before that is, the “Dairyman’s Daughter” was there. But, I hear you say, who was the Dairyman’s Daughter – seek out her grave in the churchyard, look for Elizabeth Wallbridge, who died of consumption in 1801 at the age of 31 and made famous by the Reverend Leigh Richmond in “Annals of the Poor”, selling over a million copies in many languages, a colossal amount for its time.

A lovely old country pub, still managing to maintain much character and charm after a recent refurbishment. Beamed ceilings and interesting brassware compliment the varied assortment of old pub signs and bric a brac. The pub used to share the village with the 'Red Lion' a short way down the road, but closed many years ago.
