Welcome
Welcome to the Old Village Inn, where every visitor is a local and every local is our guest.
Nestled in the heart of Bembridge’s old high street, this quirky traditional styled building is reputed to have been serving pints since 1787. These days, Landlord Jay Chapman (a Fellow Associate of the BII) is continuing this fine tradition and sources real ales form across the country to ensure there are always four on the pump and an ever-changing selection.
It’s not just excellent ales and wines that the Village offers. Home cooked food is served all day, every day. Our main pub menus are complemented with an extensive specials board using locally sourced produce.
The Old Village Inn remains faithful to the community and sources produce locally wherever possible. The Farm Shop typically provides fruit and vegetables along with other ‘secret’ ingredients. Over the road is Woodfords the Butchers who are an institution in Bembridge. Our chefs work closely with them to source the best cuts of meat available throughout the year.
The Old Village Inn really is a pub with the community at the forefront of everything it does, we look forward to welcoming you…
If you know anyone. We are looking to extend our team. Give us a message thanks we have about 30 hours that can be job shared.

“Beer and buses weekend
“Busy Monday Night in October
My wife and I chose to eat here based on their online reviews. On arrival the place without a booking and a very busy night with a quiz night about to start. However we were very quickly shown to a choise of tables. The service was excelent, really friendly and attentive despite being busy. There was a great atmosphere and the two pizzas we ordered were large and very tasty. we were unable to finish them however when we came to leave we were offered a box to take them with us. This helps show their attention to customer service. I wish this was my local pub.”
“Great welcome & fabulous food
Had a lovely evening meal where the staff could not have been more welcoming, the service & food was excellent. There was a lovely friendly atmosphere with exceptional attention to detail & cleanliness.
I would highly recommend & you’ll probably need to book well in advance in the peak summer periods.”
“This is a proper pub with a good atmosphere
I came in and was immediately chatting to various locals and had a very warm welcome. Very dog friendly and a bowl of water was brought out without my asking for it !!! The food is very good but I regret not trying it sooner. Well worth a visit A real village pub. Just ignore the few bad reviews, they are obviously from someone with a grudge. Far better than the other pubs in the area.
Only complaint was no Guinness :(“
