The Solent Inn - Rura

A traditional pub with a beautiful sun garden. open fire in winter. good selection of beer, apple wine and spirits. at home cooked food that is really delicious. this inn is located just outside the center of ryde, but worth a visit.

The number of times I had to walk past The Solent on our recent holiday without going in doesn't bear thinking about. It looked like such a warm vibrant place that I made it my holiday mission to pay this pub a visit. We came late afternoon so probably not as vibrant as it undoubtedly would have been later, but we enjoyed this friendly welcoming place nonetheless. The real ales I had, Hobgoblin Gold and High and Dry were both well kept and therefore tasted as good as they should. I'm sad I couldn't have visited more and spent a longer visit.

Great olde world pub, real open fire, lovely Sunday roast and the beer was fab, well worth a visit.

If you like buses and coaches then you should be here

A good find ! Seating outside and friendly staff. Decent food and good price's. I would recommend but prepare to wait a little as the one member of staff was running round like a good un. We felt pushed out for open Mike night at 8.15 but would recommend it.
