A Food-Led Village Pub in One of the Isle of Wight’s Most Popular Destinations

The Pub

The Taverners is a well-established food-focused pub located in the heart of Godshill, one of the Isle of Wight’s best-known and most visited villages.

Food plays a central role in the business, with the pub building a strong reputation for quality pub food and award-winning Sunday roasts. The existing offer provides a solid foundation for an operator looking to build on an already successful food business while maintaining consistently high standards.

Full of character, the pub benefits from a variety of trading spaces, including two restaurant areas, a comfortable snug and a spacious main bar and dining room. Original features, including open fireplaces, help create a setting that works equally well for everyday dining and special occasions.

Outside, the pub benefits from an attractive garden, providing additional covers and helping to make the most of seasonal trade.

Location

The Taverners occupies a prominent position within Godshill, a picturesque village renowned for its traditional character, independent businesses and year-round visitor appeal.

Located close to the popular Model Village and surrounded by countryside, the area attracts both local residents and visitors exploring the Isle of Wight, creating a broad customer base and a strong platform for a destination food business.

Ideal Publican

This opportunity will suit an experienced food-focused publican, chef-publican or hospitality partnership looking to run a successful village pub with an established reputation.

Someone who can continue to deliver a quality food offer, maintain strong standards and create reasons for customers to visit throughout the year will do well here. An understanding of seasonal trading, local produce and community engagement will be beneficial.

A hands-on operator with a passion for hospitality and attention to detail will be well placed to build on the pub’s existing success.

Accommodation

The pub includes private on-site accommodation comprising of three bedrooms, a kitchen and a lounge.
