We have just returned from a brilliant evening at The Steamer. We had a lovely meal of fresh seafood, cooked to near perfection and were entertained by a lively group of Morris Dancers who performed on the pavement outside of the pub. This is exactly what a pub should be. Keep it up. More

We stayed at the Steamer a couple of weeks ago and found the Inn delightfull. The balcony room had lovely views over the bay wich would have been ideal for watching the sun come up (if it hadn't been raining).The rooms were comfortable and well appointed whilst the staff couldn't have been more helpfull. The bar was filled with nautical... More

I have eaten at the Steamer on several occasions and can only say I have never had a bad meal yet. The staff has always been courteous and consciences and reading some of the reports recently surprised me! The new terrace looks wonderful and compliments the views, atmosphere and the food perfectly. Thanks for a great lunch and will definitely... More

We stayed at the Steamer Inn this year during a weeks break on The Island and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well decorated with lovely views over the sea. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food in the pub excellent. The giant seafood platter was a feast, especially when washed down with... More

My partner and I only came to The Steamer Inn because the Waterfront Inn was fully booked. We ordered at the bar, only to be told 30min later that my choice had run out. Surely this is something the staff should know at the time of ordering. I switched to the smoked haddock fishcakes which were oversalty and the peas... More
