Well I will never go here again. Was not made to feel welcome. You people forget Islanders are your Bread and Butter. We visited Friday 27th December 2024. Never again especially after hearing your barmaid do nothing but complain. Also I did not appreciate the way she said that table is reserved did you not see the sign how rude me thinks should be sent on a customer service training course in 2025??? When I go somewhere I expect to be treated as a valued customer. If I had known that was the way I was going to be greeted I would have walked out. I don't think it's a good idea to complain about the amount of people bookings you have. The only seat we were offered was a joke it was like a tall mushroom toadstool no back to it. Try investing in some more backed chairs!!!!!! Especially with the prices you charge.

We had a poor dining experience, one meal in particular, the stir fry chicken was very strange with slices of raw tomato and bottled silverside onions. The other meals were indifferent, chips not really hot, a real bugbear with me as it's something that's so easy to get right. They close tomorrow until March so were obviously just not that bothered and keen to get off home. It's a shame as it's an attractive venue with live music and a real nautical vibe.

Great service in nice surroundings. Good pub food and well kept beer.

Staff are great, really friendly, my only critique is the chairs, they really need a clean, very stained

I had my wedding here 24/07/24 it started off being a complete nightmare with no organisation and no one having a clue. Then Cheryl stepped in, she was brilliant. She made sure the whole day ran perfectly. She did everything that was asked of her. Yelfs should promote her to the manager she is helpful, informative and gets the job done! Sadly I think she is leaving and this is such a loss to Yelfs and any future brides. Whilst Yelfs is dated it was spotlessly clean and the staff on the day were pleasant and helpful. We had a fabulous wedding at Yelfs…would I recommend it to anyone else…..yes but only if Cheryl is there to organise it all.

Lovely pub. Food was excellent, good quality and cooking. The staff very friendly and welcoming. Efficient service.,

Booked a two nights stay here (weekday) during half term for myself and two children. The rooms had recently been refurbished and there was the nice new carpet smell. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed, Tea making, TV, Wi-Fi etc. The en-suite was lovely although the bathroom door could have done with a squirt of WD40 as it was a little squeaky. We didn’t use the Bar, only to check in and the staff member was very polite and kind, offered to carry my bags etc. there’s a separate entrance for guests so you don’t have to go thru the bar area unless you want to. I was a bit dubious booking a room in a pub in the centre of town, I was concerned about noise but, I needn’t have been, we weren’t disturbed at all. Perfect location, we used the Red Jet to get over to the Isle and it’s not even a ten minute walk to the pub. Very central and surrounded by eateries and supermarkets Would definitely recommend. Would stay again.

Why do you queue to get a pint and not just stand at the bar. Good bar staff should know who's next

We went in the cafe for a sandwich which we brought and it was so expensive and was very dry , saw a nice looking brownie so bought it and it tasted disgusting doesn’t even taste like a brownie wouldn’t recommend, I would save your money and bring a packed lunch

While the drinks here are a little expensive, I remember the staff being very friendly - the place itself has a beautiful setting and is a perfect place to visit on a sunny day

I don't usually leave reviews but I had such a good day. The food is out of this world. The service was very good, and all the staff were friendly and efficient. The views were beautiful. I could have stayed all day, the whole family [ ranging from 4 years to 65 years of age] enjoyed the whole experience. I will be going as often as possible. Fully recommend this cafe.

Excellent quality and service. Friendly staff and lovely views. The poached eggs were cooked perfectly, as were all other ingredients.

Quality ingredients making a varied menu along with hospitable staff make for a pleasant visit. I would advise anyone visiting to either take up sign-language or lip-reading as the acoustics made the atmosphere very poor! It was so noisy, normal conversation was not possible. The fitment of noise reduction equipment would be most beneficial.

We visited on a Saturday and were greeted by a lovely lady who couldn't have been nicer. The fryers weren't working, but we could order baguettes. We had a lovely big pot of tea for two and she was very obliging in making a bacon baguette for my son. Having returned on our last day of holiday 2 days later for lunch, we couldn't have had a more different experience. We were greeted in a rude and offhand manner, told they 'didnt do' bacon baguettes, although she managed (!) and having taken a food order to had to ask if we could order drinks...she literally huffed at us for asking!! This lady is definitely in the wrong job and is going to cost the owners a lot of business. As a result I wouldn't recommend. Even more worryingly, when asked to complete track and trace, my details from the first visit 2 days earlier was still there and the date had been crossed out and changed!! I will be livid if I am contacted as a result of visiting here as they are not recording the data correctly.
