The Griffin (Family Pubs IOW Ltd) Reviews

We had a good meal as always. I love the way it is cooked as the veg always taste so fresh. We'll done to the Griffin

We booked a table for 12 people for two o'clock and two of our family wanted a Buffet lunch, but as it was the end of the school holidays it was very busy and the buffet was closed. But the very varied choices suited all of us and we didn't have to wait too long for the food, which as always from our experience was very good. As locals we will be back there again soon.

Family favourite when we visit the island, great food and friendly staff

Didn t eat. But beer was wet and cold. Plenty of seating outside and lots for the kids to do.

Oh and and nice maze to get lost in for 10 minutes.

If you want good and delicious food this inn was the best choice in this island. Is beautiful historic building with nice atmosphere and prices are the best compared to others similiar places in the island.

found on the off chance excellent atmosphere superb food and the atmosphere was lovely didn't feel rushed and they're trying their best with the covid situation.
will definitely come again and
definitely recommend as you will not be disappointed.

Excellent value 3 course xmas meal with large portions, will book again for next year and visit in the new year, would have liked coffee and chocolate mint to finish but that is being picky!!

Out for a Sunday dinner burgers very dry and no taste. But the worst meal was the so called chicken chasseur there were 4 small squares of chicken swamped by loads of sauce and probably the equivalent of 2 small potatoes sliced to look more. I thought if described as CHICKEN chasseur that should be the main ingredient. Really gone down hill since changing hands.

Food wasn't brilliant steak was grisly and chips not very hot....Was a nice atmosphere and service was good.

areal pub, great pint of Guinness, lovey food, gluten - free options too, top marks!!

Lovely evening meal, salmon fillet was super and gammon steak was enormous. Veg and salad were good with plenty of chips. Thank you very much for a great meal

Stopped for gin and tonic on sunny afternoon walk. Nice beer garden with maze

Great food and service. Getting a bit more popular know.

Went to the Griffin Inn for Sunday lunch. The carvery was beautiful, with the largest Yorkshire pudding I have ever seen on a roast. My daughter had scampi and was disappointed with the coating, which seemed a little under cooked.



Although the carvery was good, there is no way I would go again at these prices.

Wow....what an amazing little gem..
Popped in on route from Cowes...
Really friendly staff...prompt service ..superb plate presentation & delicious food ...
Gardens are fab ...

Looks ok and is a typical pub with typical pub food. Has a bouncy castle and a playground for kids.

Good food, great garden, nice service even on a busy summer Sunday. Also take the time to washer through the village, really nice setting.

Booked a table for a family meal, was only allocated an hour and a half, was going to order desert when we were told we had to vacate the table as they had another booking coming in. Very rude male member of staff, too.

Excellent food and drink range All pleasantly served by friendly staff.

Amazing salmon dish, gammon was beautiful, dirty rustic fries were a meal on their own, comfy setting, staff are so lovely x

Great for young families: lots of outdoor activities so you can enjoy a quiet pint. Good food options, too.

Good quality well priced food and if you've deserved it, then the dirty fries is a treat.

exceptional service , food , and price .... very child friendly , made our holiday a nicer experience all round ... thank you Griffin....

Good pub menu selection, plenty of it and a fair price - what's not to like. Also an ideal stop if you are cycling the Red Squirrel trail.

Great menu, friendly staff, decent prices. Visited whilst on holiday and was very pleasantly surprised. Great outdoor wooden play area, plenty of games and a maze to keep kids occupied

Lovely food, great service, friendly staff and amazing food, carvery is good and the apple crumble is to die for!

We had a lovely carvery well presented and hot!! Children and I went in the maze was little over grown if honest, the bouncy was fun kids enjoyed that.. The little play ground needs updating.. But over all we had a nice time..

Excellent food friendly and helpful staff oh yes and dog friendly

Good food and a couple of vegetarian options, dog friendly too which is always good to see.

Excellent food friendly staff loads of free parking

Nice pub in Godshill lovely big outdoor garden also allow dogs indoors good food what more could you want

Excellent meal, great service , all the Covid guidelines were being followed, but it still felt like a good pub and it had a great atmosphere....Many thanks to all the staff!

Lovely food especially the waffles the maze was a lovely added extra

Food delicious, service very good. Happy to return.

Great food and they got a maze hours of kid free time.

Good menu options and value for money. Booking advisable

Great food and great service. We were a large group of people but this was no problem for the staff.

Lovey food on both occasions I have visited. Butterfly chicken breast recommended.

I had this crazy idea to walk from Shanklin to Godshill and this pub was worth it!!! (it was one of those places I've been past 500 times but for one reason or another never got to go into!) Although not the cheapest place in the world if you have a family to pay for it is certainly worth the money: this pub is perfect for all ages with a playground for toddlers, football, bouncy castle... ...it is beautifully landscaped for adults to enjoy and has a fabulous Griffin shaped maze, lovely staff and fabulous food! I cannot recommend it highly enough! and will definitely be going back!

Great all round pub will be eating there again soon

Lovely looking pub from outside. Usual fare... If you have kids, this is for you...

Great food , very friendly and a lovely place to eat in the garden in the summer months.

very nice pub,food good, bear good
.great garden for kids plus a maze.

Nice friendly pub with good food and the kids loved the outside area that had a park, bouncy castle and a maze.

Great food and plenty of it, quick and efficient service.
Thank you.

Gorgeous building , friendly staff and amazing food !

Disappointing, staff friendly enough but sat outside and all you can smell is the fumes from extractor.

Enjoyed excellent lunch, desserts particularly good.
Good family pub, with a large garden and a great maze.

The Griffin carvery is scrumptious. All fresh, delicious food, second to none!

Lovely sandwiches with side salad. Quick service and friendly.

Fantastic home cooked food with loads of taste, in a warm friendly atmosphere and very helpful staff. So good we booked again for the next day on the spot. From what we've experienced on the Island..... you'll struggle to find better.
