Nestled in what might well be the Island’s best-kept secret, where ancient woods whisper old tales, the sea glimmers with mischief, and nature shows off in full regalia, our Parish is doubly blessed. Not only do we dwell in postcard perfection, we also boast two splendid public houses that serve up hospitality with heart and character.

Perched on Ningwood Hill, the Horse and Groom beckons with rustic cheer and family fun, while the New Inn sits proud, ancient full of history, opposite St Michael the Archangel in Shalfleet Village, as if keeping watch over the comings and goings of Parish life.

Each pub has its own personality, one might say they’re the yin and yang of local cheer. Whether you’re chasing shade and cider on a sun-drenched afternoon or seeking solace by a crackling fire on a frosty evening, between them they’ve got you covered. So wander in, warm up, cool down, or simply sit back and let the charm of the place do the rest.
